While resting between Jazz Fest days this weekend,...

While resting between Jazz Fest days this weekend, I found a new, awesome use case for ChatGPT: helping me think through the thermodynamics of my AC unit to figure out a way to improve its efficiency by improving hot air circulation." "" "What was surprisingly most useful was having ChatGPT help me set up tools used for such calculations, like modeling the space in CAD, and using SimScale to simulate airflow. I quickly learned that properly setting all of this up is overkill for what I'm doing, but it was fun to try." "" "At the end of the day, the fundamental wisdom of "heat rises" won out, and it became pretty clear what I should do next to improve my airflow situation! Soon enough, though, these models will be able to fully create the airflow simulation for me 🎉
