There's nothing particularly weird in it. Soy lecithin is probably the weird one, but it's in a lot of plain chocolate bars, and is pretty benign.

Turns out I bought what's probably the largest investment in my lifetime at the bottom.

The industry will change in the next four years. What I didn't realize in 2002 was widespread broadband internet would arrive and change everything. Revision to mean is a thing, and I wouldn't expect the 2010's boom where tech moved to take over every corner of our lives, but it will still be there, and the systems take proper care and feeding. Remote work is equalizing global tech wages, but the talent's gotten better and the pie's gotten bigger.

If you don't have a passion for tech, pick a different major because you'll spend the next few years questioning your choice. If you stay with it, look for other areas in your life you enjoy so you can plan out a minor or double major. If you plan it right, you'll be able to reassess in three years and possibly pivot to math, actuarial science, electrical engineering, or mechanical engineering with only an extra year.

Between this, the proprietary nut patent, and the heated seat subscription, I'm probably not going to look at BMW for my next car. They've been going back on things, but all of this adds up to they don't get it.

Like the LLM getting the solution right?

AI subscription pricing is so goofy. You get some amount of usage that varies by models, is measured by opaque token usage, driven by how many tokens the (usually) vendor-provided interface (or model itself) wants to use. Then your usage is limited by time opaque time windows.

I suspect that despite its translation abilities, this is true, but I'd like to see it do things in languages that are more or less appropriate for tasks to see how much the training corpus matters vs. its ability to translate. Assembly is a bit of an extreme example because you're either writing it as close to C as possible (C is essentially portable assembly) or you're writing complex, unreviewable code that happens to work. And who know if it's been trained on register allocation, or resorts to doing everything on the stack because it works.
