Are you thinking of a particular source? I couldn’t find substantiation for $45/h.
- Comment on Anon describes past 2 weeks ago:
You’ve got it backwards, median takes into account income gap better. Mean would be much higher today because of the increasing income gap. That is why I used the median, so that interesting inequality would be less of a factor.
- Comment on Anon describes past 2 weeks ago:
In 2023 median hourly wage was $19.24/h, vs in 1979 it was $4.44/h or $19.56/h inflation adjusted. (This data doesn’t go back to 1965 unfortunately)

If you insist. Would you be so kind as to stop commenting on my comment then as well?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Why do you do this?
- Comment on Anon describes past 2 weeks ago:
Federal minimum wage in 1965 was $1.25/h, which is $12.69/h today. Looks like Alaska had the highest state minimum at $2.10, $21.32 today. Or were you taking more average rather than minimum wage?

Why?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Do you not want answers? I didn’t mind the question, I just think you need to refine what you’re taking about.

What even is AI? You love diffusion based image generation? Global parameter transformer text generation? Good old fashioned optimizers? The category of AI seems to broad for your statement to make sense.
- Comment on Researchers unveil LegoGPT, an AI model that designs physically stable Lego structures from text prompts and currently supports eight standard brick types 2 weeks ago:
They’re just built with 1 by X bricks. But I kinda like that, it’s not replacing anything a person would design. I think I’d prefer a program that would take a 3d model as in input instead of a text prompt, but both are cool.

The aversion often didn’t work for royalty, since they weren’t raised with their siblings.

Mine gets so exited they won’t stay still long though to get the leash on to actualy go on a walk!
- Comment on What would the world look like if every worker got together and Unionized for a universale wage that helps everyone? Instead of one country trying to screw over another? 5 weeks ago:
You’d need a world wide government to tax and distribute for that, right? So that government would need to have control of every over country, like the EU on a larger scale. That seems unlikely to happen without violence, but I guess it would work if every worker in the world was suddenly in support of it.

Have you broken a pencil tip? I wouldn’t want to breath that in after it goes flying.
- Comment on Pens in Space 1 month ago:
What do you mean? Graphite can be fine or sharp, you saying it’s fine to breathe in? I know I wouldn’t want to breath in a broken tip of a pencil.
- Comment on Pens in Space 1 month ago:
Plus, inhaling graphite dust since it doesn’t fall doesn’t sound fun.

- Comment on As a US citizen who was born in the UK, how risky is it to leave and reenter the US right now? 1 month ago:
The scary thing is we have no clue. But they do seem to be racist in their targeting, so if you look white, I’d imagine you’d have a much lower risk.

Hank Green has a good video on the subject. This is like crafting in jeans to chimpanzees to make them stand upright and be hairless, and calling them human. There’s some cool technology going on here, but it isn’t anywhere near a full clone.

They’re still largely grey wolves DNA, with a few aesthetic genes of direwolf grafted in.

It’s impressive he can snap with a metal gauntlet, I wouldn’t think it’d give enough friction with the metal on metal.
- Comment on Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do? 1 month ago:
Which is why they’re upping the prices.

I like to say ‘knock knock’ to get someone’s attention, seems to be a little less starting than a hand on the shoulder.
