Fear not; they _will_ be used to secretly record them.

Not author. LLM manager, technical producer (if we're borrowing game development language), advanced AI user; not author. Authors are those whose code was used to train LLM(s) you were using while producing this fine piece of software. I'm saying this having neither positive nor negative emotions. Just clarifying.

Well. I, for one, picked up Moto Z Fold, as soon as it has been out, and can't get enough of it. Won't be moving back to candybar phones. Content consumption feels so much more natural, and context window I'm able to see while reading is dramatically larger. And I'm not talking about Youtube etc; regular work or family chats, browsing sites, reading books with Kindle , that kind of stuff. When I was deciding to pick this formfactor, I wanted to read more books. I can't read on a regular phone, too small of a page being displayed is somehow a blocker for me. Not anymore; I'm unfolding my MoFo every now and then.

>seeing raw salmon as parasite-ridden and unpleasant to the palette.

Painting with salmon is a .. novel take on the art of food.

I'd settle for something to just hand me required wrenches/bits/heads/etc while I'm under the car. This actually shouldn't require much.

Oh come on. Not even driving anywhere in Europe; higher difficulty levels would be Turkey , India, Russia, Egypt. Add countryside for extra points. Add harvest season in countryside for unique achievement. Add rainy/snowy season in countryside to master this game.

Human breast cancer, in mice.

Every joke has a bit of a joke, as they say. I'm proudly ape-coding two of my current projects.

So, we have a chance to reduce our usage of volatile hydrocarbons. Silicon-based chemicals should not burn as easily as CH-based ones.

No, it's a super weird molecule that is big, expensive to make and probably form a solid. It can not replace solvents like benzene.

The weird structure of the electrons in the silicon cycle may be useful as a catalyst(or not, it's too early to be sure). Imagine it is like the Platinum in the car exhaust, not the solvent in the paint remover.

This particular silicon compound is unlikely to help much in that direction.

On the other hand, silicone resins and elastomers are already in widespread use in applications where resistance to high temperatures or burning is required (silicone =/= silicon, the former coming from silic-on + ket-one, a name based on a wrong hypothesis).

However, their mechanical resistance is usually modest, so if that is important they must be used either in combinations with other materials or reinforced, e.g. with glass fiber.

They are also more expensive than hydrocarbon-based plastics, so they are typically used only where strictly necessary.

Methane (CH4) is the simplest hydrocarbon and the primary constituent of natural gas.

Even though it is not waxy it is also considered a paraffin. Like other paraffins it is largely inert except for that one little reaction with oxygen where it burns readily releasing great energy. But that usually requires contacting a spark or flame or there is no reaction.

The silicon analog is silane (SiH4), it spontaneously combusts quite easily without any spark at all.

Just got a loaf out of the oven. The smell, the crust, the whole feel of something very much tangible and enjoyable . I'm very much considering opening a small bakery.

I know what you mean (I also love to bake and have had the same thought). Just remember that running a bakery is more about running a business than it is baking. If you love baking and business, great! But if you just love baking, it may kill the enjoyment.
