Working on an oil rig is a lot more dangerous than most white collar jobs. The time cost would have to account for the expected years of your life that you lose from taking on that job.

It depends on how relevant I expect those changes to be to me. For programming languages or libraries I use often for example, I’ll always read change logs. For other software, I’ll likely only look at it if I’m waiting for a specific bug fix or feature.

That means nothing to me. Still had to look it up.

A capon is a male chicken that has been castrated or neutered, either physically or chemically, to improve the quality of its flesh for food

People turn against anything called lasers, not just death stars.

Not particularly.

If you consider your example, you may have worked hard for it, but another person could’ve worked equally hard at all the right things and never have gotten the opportunity to even attempt getting into university. We might call that luck. Someone else might call it God’s doing. Regardless, it’s just a different name for the same thing.

We don’t have enough structured data in this domain to be able to use anything other than LLMs. At least, not in the timeframe of OP’s hypothetical.

If you define “user” to be a set that excludes anyone capable of modifying the weights, then by definition, no user can modify the weights.

Any criticism about users being unable to modify weights becomes vacuous, so it’s not an interpretation that makes sense.

I shudder at the thought of thighs sticking together in their sweat.

Sounds like a challenge

Most people would understand “profit” to mean the net flow of money, not value. If you redefine it this way, then you can no longer look at the “profit” line of a company’s sheets and say that they’re stealing because the number is positive.

Profit can also be the value of the labour you put into something. If you buy wood, build a table, then sell it for more than the value of the wood, then that profit is the value of your labour.

The bar for a lot of us is also at “about to lose a limb from infection”. The only difference is that we don’t get a hospital bill to go with that visit.

Handguns also kill cancer cells in vivo.

What does participating in the system we’ve been forced into have anything to do with class solidarity with the billionaires?

the flavors is not deep enough

Firm tofu does a better job of absorbing flavours than the soft kind. The easiest thing you can do is to drop it into a soup with nicely flavoured broth.

When you have something like miso soup where they use soft tofu, they usually cut it very small so the flavour doesn’t need to penetrate.

Except for that one time I actually needed a key made. Went to a place with blanks displayed on the wall and they told me they didn’t make them anymore because they didn’t have anyone who knew how to use the machine.

To make the difference you’d have to peddle thousands or hundreds of thousands of individualized discounts

That’s what they do here in Canada.

You say that like people rewatch movies they dislike and are surprised that they’re still bad.

I’ll add that things should also fail gracefully. If something breaks, they should all revert back to working like the dumb equivalent. Dumb switches, dumb thermostat, etc.
