Another thing that could happen is that as the population grows, and more people rise to a standard of living that supports passtimes, we sample further out on the skinny end of the bell curve of human potential.

Without granting that they're cheating, in my book it's still progress if cheating occurs but it has a smaller and smaller impact on the outcome. Perfection itself is of course the goal - no cheating and a clear definition of what that is.

It's a transitory need, and the role won't remain available in this firm for long, but make hay while the sun shines. Just don't use the income as a reason to assume a large mortgage.

... gives AI tools prod access to do production deployments at this stage of maturity?

Honestly, beat them with sticks. Sarbanes Oxley gave us a lot of shot, but segregation of duties is not a bad idea.

"Replit's AI coding service deleted a production database despite explicit instructions not to modify code."

Good Lord. The genie of the lamp will fuck you over if it can. A database can argued to not be code.

Discrete graphics is one area where they have reaffirmed their commitment this year, including at CES. The GPU would seem an odd one to cut since that's where computers have most of their transistors these days.

Do you really want to ask that? His base will never turn against him. They've sacrificed all their principles for him, there's no going back.

Yes but if by "pretext" you mean false, I wouldn't assume so. In fact it would be kind of odd if we could make them as cheaply as Taiwan. It's not like we have better machines to do it with. All the inputs (especially labor) are just more expensive.

Ooops, and I had to pick that as an example...

Welcome to the internet, First time here? Let me show you around. :)

If their definition of allowable bicycles weren't so strict, they would quickly get into completely impractical bicycles that have no use outside a closed course, ridden by a highly practiced rider, and with costs far greater than even the expensive bikes of today. For example recumbents would dominate, even though they hardly make a dent in the mainstream market where they are allowed.

Come to think of it, I'm basically agreeing with you... but I think it's good.

Dude, you can just fill out a form with your broker and get access to after hours trading. There are all kinds of stuff like that. They're protecting you from yourself because they have to. Sign some waivers and do all the after-hours leveraged pre-IPO SPAC trading you want. It's dumb as fuck because if you knew enough to safely do any of that you would know how already, but I for one welcome this financial Darwinism, you all voted for it, enjoy, idiots.

You aren't and you think your expertly timed overnight selling is key to your success?

What? The math works out to favour the insurers? Have you told anybody else about this?

We have to get the word out. Up until now people have assumed the insurers were altruists. The people need to know!

But that's not where it would land.

It's one way to go, but marketing bikes and driving the technology forward is an important part of most bike racing. And unlike other leagues like "stock" car racing, which uses cars built from the ground up, you can buy a bicycle that's pretty much like one the professionals use.
