Hacking and cheating are different things. Hacking is looking at the rules and finding smart ways of following them. A lawyer or accountant finding legal loopholes is hacking. The clearest place to see hacking is within games where one foll

Aging is programmed: because the Hayflick Limit (number of times a cell is allowed to divide) is part of the bodies defences against cancer. Telomere shortening means that cells that replicate too much hit the replication limit, trigger

Most people undervalue their time. If a PhD cost $0, it still costs a craptonne of time. All the smartest people I know left school when they were 15 (or earlier).

Metering as a service? Perhaps stripe thinks metering is a lovely big market? A nice complement to their existing service. Plus a little AI buzz likely helps their valuation. OpenRouter could be a step rather than a goal.

Ideal socialism is voluntary, just like ideal free markets. I wonder whether your axiomatic belief is that we should all have freedom? Therefore you love the idea of free markets? I wonder if some of your "free market" comment

Patents are not discussed as inventions any more. Other aspects now matter: defensive patents, patent pools, patent trolls, patent portfolios, etc. Triple damages made a farce of patents as dissemination of invention.

Isn't there some hand-waving going on here? The outer orbital is being treated as the last layer of an onion and the atoms are "inside" that. But orbitals are not spherical so our geometrical intuitions kinda fail. Edit: Sorr
