And isn't it plausible that the top X% of highschool graduates don't go to college because they found a lucrative position? Especially for men, hard labor still pays well without needing a diploma.

A surgeon gets paid to cure my illness ... therefore he can't be kind or have good will toward me? How about a non-volunteer firefighter risking his life?

Agreed. Navigating the world is basically an AI-complete problem; we don't let 12-year-old kids drive and these current enhanced cruise control systems are nowhere near the AGI of that.

Yes he said reading assembly, not writing. Whatever they use, I'm glad that someone's having a glance at what the compiler spits out. Also could be talking about microcontrollers, and in an industrial setting PLCs wouldn't

No, semantic coloring is about the editor having deep knowledge about your code, this is about having very similar looking names or lexemes appear different. FTA: It's fine that mov doesn't look like eax, but I'd rather pref

With 36 antennas it would average out to some extent, but since propagation in air is very near that of vacuum already, I don't think a °C or two makes much of a difference.

A few years ago I purposefully put a couple of "interesting" paths in the robots.txt as a honeypot to test/capture bot conformance and malicious actors. Not one hit ever.

How do you determine whether the tree releases pheromones to warn others -vs- it happens to release pheromones and it induces a response in the others? i.e., the former requires intent, whereas the latter simply evolutionary pressure (s
