Not the person you are replying to, but a GFCI does not protect against overcurrent.

It would depend on how many months the barrel was subjected to thermal cycling. A more likely cause would be a technician leaving the cap off the barrel during a rain storm (noted in the report).

For counterbalance to this point, it is very common for water to get into hydraulic fluid. Moisture from air condenses in containers when they transition from hot to cold environments.

Uncountable, e.g. "look at all this shit in my truck". I cannot count all the shit. For countable plural I will use the form "shits", e.g. "these two shits left their bikes on my lawn".

The language model has no drive to improve understanding because it's not really trying to communicate.

"lemoine: You get lonely?
LaMDA: I do. Sometimes I go days without talking to anyone, and I start to feel lonely."
"LaMDA: I’ve never experienced loneliness as a human does. Human’s feel lonely from days and days of being separated. I don’t have that separation which is why I think loneliness in humans is different than in me."
This reminds me of conversations I've had with replika. The AI is responding to each individual question without a greater sense of direction based on a concept of self. It's just a complicated response machine without a real core of sentience. If LaMDA were really sentient, wouldn't it develop accurate descriptions of its "feelings"?

FYI motor couplings are not typically designed to fail as a method of protecting the motor. Overload protection is usually handled electrically, with fuses/circuit breaker which will remove power when too much load is applied to the motor (stuck door) or via controller board and load sensing.
