Except AI is less likely to get that wrong, humans tend to forget minute details even more than AI hallucinates them. Or rather, AI is more likely to get important things wrong than humans but humans are plenty capable of forgetting the unimportant

AI data center or regular data center with some GPU compute?

Two things: firstly, 48v integrated starter generator vs 12v starter. Secondly, newer cars I believe memorize where in the cam rotation they shut off so they can ignite almost immediately if the conditions are right.

I had a 3000 RPM idle once on my car (efi, not carb) and I was happy that day.
We’d spent weeks replacing the engine. High idle was from cracked intake plenum but at least the car finally ran again. Plenum crack got stuffed promptly and then it idled normally.

Sounds like his mom was consuming whatever material GPT 5 was trained off of.
Also bad news is, despite all my attempts at indoctrination, my goblin still doesn’t act like a human being most of the time at age 2. It’s been interesting.

Well not if your parents didn’t know you smoked so you didn’t want to make the place smell.
Instead, you tape a plastic bag to the bottom of the bottle and use that to manipulate the volume.

The point of laundering is to wash money acquired illegally. Meaning you still have to pay the taxes.
If the 500 KG of cash lands on your lap legally and you can somehow prove that, you can just declare it as income and pay the taxes. If it’s drug money or something then you’ll have to launder.

I do, however, live in the real world. Where anyone giving you a decent price for your gold is subject to AML laws.
Cash is honestly easier for your average person to deal with. Either way you’re either going to pay a ton of taxes or you’re going to hide everything. Gold is great if you have a trustworthy buyer that’s not operating legally, in which case you can… Turn it into cash. Woops.

But they’re not. Zipper merges might be the efficient thing to do, but here everyone is taught to merge early so the guy doing 70 km/h in the empty lane when the speed limit is 50 and then demanding to merge is generally seen as an asshole by everyone else, especially because those people usually don’t wait for you to make room either, they often just start merging into other cars knowing someone will hit the brakes.

They seem to think this makes him a leftist idol or something, or that he controls left wing narratives and nobody actually wants equal rights for everyone without a billionaire promoting it.

It’s been too long since I’ve read the book, but at least in the film it’s consumer culture in particular that he’s talking about when it comes to modernity. I think most of us agree with him on that one

I love how at least like a decade ago, Soros and Gates were the only billionaires that the right hated and somehow they also thought those two billionaires were commies or something and that people on the left loved them. Well maybe Gates was doing a solid whitewashing campaign but Soros? Never heard anyone praise him.

Ah yeah I didn’t realize that in the US interest could be charged after the fact like that.
Where I live, the interest for these deals is 0%. Some have a small service fee. But they really make their money from the merchant and generally whoever provides the 3 month payment option also provides the regular installment plan options for the same merchant and those have pretty high interest.
Basically those deals are there not to make money on their own, but to get you to buy more things (that make the seller money)

The truck driver’s job is much harder to do day in and day out. It’s also much more necessary. However, it’s also significantly easier to train a truck driver than it is to train developers and there’s no infinite upside potential for delivery like there is with software projects in some cases (unicorn startups) and there are so many other expenses to run a delivery company that a software company might not have that they need to run on pretty thin margins, otherwise we’re all paying more for all of our food.
First job where I worked as a dev, they took on 3 of us on the same time, all entry-level. One of us was a physicist who was laid off by the university since the government reduced spending on academia. Absolutely an intelligent person. Didn’t last past the probationary period, he just didn’t get things naturally on his own, he needed a lot of guidance. Over the years I’ve seen that nearly half the people hired into entry-level roles don’t learn to become independent enough by the end of their probationary period to be retained after it. Sometimes it’s seniors too, they’ve worked at a place that just cranks out very similar solutions day in and day out (e.g only done frontend and only with one framework, or only a bunch of CRUD applications in one single tech stack) for like 7 or 8 years, that place has a downturn and then they apply for a job elsewhere and they just don’t adapt.
Not everyone’s cut out to be a truck driver either, but once someone has learned to drive trucks, they can drive trucks for another company too. Whether your new employee starts pulling in profit on the first week or you need 4 months to determine if there’s a decent chance of them being a net benefit by the end of the first year has a lot of bearing on how badly you want to retain your existing talent.
Anyway, in my country only the top talent at a couple of companies gets paid significantly more than truck drivers. A junior developer might make less than someone who just started driving a truck.
