If they wanted their workers to be comfortable, they wouldn't make them whisper to an LLM all day.
why would any office in silicon valley have hydronic heating?

damn, that's the average we have in late may. that's the point where the sun does enough heating that you have to start opening windows here.
That's nice but this the US we're talking about. Their building materials aren't stone..
