It most likely will help if you get pancreatic cancer. It might help if you get one of the other types of cancers with this mutation.

And it will likely lead to new treatments for some of the worst kinds of cancer.

Landmines can be dropped from the air by the thousands and many land mines can survive for decades. Placing a landmine anywhere is essentially the same as firing a bullet blindly through time. And no individual soldier has ever been held accountable for a landmine that killed a civilian years down the road.

Which doesn’t make what you said about drones any less awful. Just that landmines are already uniquely awful.

The ability to do SPAs existed, but the vast majority of people weren’t building them. The time period you’re talking about was peak rails erb templates. Which is definitely “writing html by hand”.

I knew plenty of people who were getting paid to convert psd mockups into HTML/CSS around that time. There was a whole industry around hand written psd to HTML, which was eventually mostly outsourced to India.

In 2008 I made most of my money making static brochure sites for small/mid-sized businesses. Most small businesses around that time had something similar. It was very easy back then to browse most of the web with JavaScript disabled.

I don’t know that regular political violence is positively correlated with worker protections.

“Acting like centrally planned dictatorships is a good form of collaboration is just so off base. There's no reason to think that introducing democracy into the work place wouldn't immediately benefit both workers + customers.”

That sounds more like there’s no evidence that it won’t work than an unequivocal claim that it will.

SPAs didn’t go mainstream until almost 10 years after 2006. And even at their height they never represented the majority of all websites.

But also most SPAs aren’t any less HTML by hand than using PHP templates are.

Also Gen X isn’t that much smaller than the boomers, and millennials are the largest generation ever. Plus all generations aster the baby boomers have fewer children per couple to take care of them, so demand for healthcare jobs isn’t going to drop anytime soon.

2. You can’t know whether it’s worth your time or not since you don’t know how much the wager was for.

If you’re 99% confident, 10:1 odds with a 10x larger bet is still a steal. My guess is your confidence is somewhere just north of 50%.

If you’re only giving even odds you’re not very confident in openAI at all. $15 billion is peanuts.

I actively hate it when it brings in some nonsense it thinks it knows about me. I told it my income once in an attempt to use it to find the perfect rewards credit card mix. Now anytime I try to get it to search for a deal it brings up some nonsense about “as a high income individual you don’t worry about saving $X, you care more about reliability, so you don’t need to look for the lowest cost” or something similar.
