Jeff Koonz thrives, invents tools to produce new works, and will not be replaced by an LLM. Art is wide, and it should not be reduced to a few Koonz'.

I hear highly experienced COBOL devs make bank. Supply and demand. Great for them!

Pizza maker will not be the first job automated away. Nor will janitor. Form fiddlers are cheap and can be blamed. AI fiddlers can be blamed too but are not cheap, yet.

This is the way. If we all did that, our health care system would be the best the world has ever seen. We mostly do the opposite. We give up on our own agency in terms of our health outcomes, then get on ozympic and demand cheap insulin to

A clump == blocking the passing lane. They are definitionally the same.

Stay in the far right lane unless passing. Don't tailgate. Those 2 rules would solve a lot of problems if they were enforced. Instead, there is heavy enforcement of the speed limit, which in and of itself isn't a safety concern.

Left lanes are for passing. If you are in the left lane and not passing, guess what.

Maybe there's an element of both time and skill? How many folks that pursue math can point to a great early teacher as being influential. Not all, but I want to believe it's common and maybe true for most.

It is very sad to me that so many people can't enjoy that aspect of math. I was lucky, pbs used to show math stuff to kids, so it was fun and interesting before it was a school thing. Of course a huge part of math learning is just hatd

"many children learn mathematics as a set of arcane rituals for manipulating symbols on paper, because they can't yet understand the abstract meanings of those symbols." In the US? I had pretty typical US public school educat

"ask whether, in the urban Indian context, the arithmetic skills that are used in market transactions transfer to the more abstract maths skills taught in school." I have a hard time with this notion of 2 different maths. I wonder

Not really. The vast majority of adults are not at all accountable in today's society. We blame.

So you defend it on the grounds, specifically, correct me if I am misinterpreting, that it is nothong beyond a rebranding of typical HR legal speak? You either think it is important and meaningful or you don't-- ie it is a litmus test.

I 100% gaurantee you don't recycle. Perfect, enemy the good. That said, couldn't agree moreabout air travel or travel in general; a monument to man's self endulgent waste.

"association with drug dealers IRL?" I'd rather get my milk from the corner store than some anonymous reseller on amazon. Real life drug dealers operate in markets too.
