Based on that response, what the government are doing is dreadful.

I wouldn't necessarily expect him to be hired as their lead developer, but I think he would be a good product manager. He's clearly created something people want and see potential for.

I can also recommend Roger's Profanisaurus for a British view of swearwords and vulgar euphemisms: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger%27s_Profanisaurus

Maybe? I don't know if it's near, or if it will be in "the next ten years" indefinitely like quantum computing. Or we'll have semi-smart bots like we're starting to see now that won't be "people"

I think everyone will need two AI agents. One to do stuff, and a second one to apologise for the first one's behaviour.

Yes! It's important that we give an alien murderous swarm that wants to destroy humanity full access to legal counsel.

It's mad that people actually side with the aliens.

I always wondered in the higher levels of maths, theoretical physics etc how much of it reflects a "real" thing and how much of is hand-wavey "try not to think about it too much but the equations work". EG complex number

H1B is just a cheap labour scam unless you think there aren't any Americans that could do the jobs on the jobs.now website that reposts the H1B re-advertisements.

LOL. There is no labour shortage. There is only a shortage at a particular price point. If there is such a labour shortage, what explains the layoffs?

Reminds me of a Judge Dredd story from the 80s. A confectionary company invented a type of bubble gum (called "Umpty Candy") that became addictive not because it had any drugs in it, but because they kept optimising the taste unti

Yes, I trained for it and did it maybe a couple of times in training and then at the event. If you want to do XXX kg every day, you need to make your max XXX+[20%+?].

I think for a lot of manual labour, the tasks are repetitive and so they experience greater wear and tear. TBH, a lot of pro-athletes have wear and tear injuries after they retire as well.

I managed to carry my bodyweight in each hand for a strength event (100kg). I guess the total distance was 20m? I was OK afterwards, and I'm no freak of strength.
