1. Highschool was closer to 40 years ago.
2. Unless you are going to small bars, the vast majority of venues are owned or run by Ticket Master and it's ilk.
3. My taste in music means I don't go to large venues, pretty much ever. Not a lot of rockabilly outside of small bars.

If energy cannot store information how does radio work?

Where was his skepticism? I saw something that looked more like anti-intellectualism then any attempt at being skeptical.

Ticket master charges delivery fees regardless of method. Digital tickets still have a $7.50 fee or something stupid. It goes up from there.

And that's all you care about , isn't it? That you can somehow feel you "owned" Trump.
Sigh.
That's why we're at where we're at.

I know this is a loaded question and far more complicated an answer than just a number: when the tariff's cam in , I started researching and realized tariff schedules are very confusing: as an example, something like "20% for the first 2 tons, then increasing .5% for each additional half ton imported, unless this occurs in under 3 months , then that schedule will double, except in cases where..."would be an example.

I do worry that the economic activity just devolves to selling each other real estate at ever more inflated prices though. Ultimately we need to figure out how to create higher value services and I think there is a lot of scope for that especially in medicine, agriculture, and caring for seniors and those affected by mental conditions.

Maybe if we remember that the goal is to treat each other better and to improve our lives.

If we're planning to improve our lot there should be more medical research, more agriculture research... ie. The exact things that are being cut are the things we have worked so hard over the years to gain the upper hand in

Step one: blame the opposition for having a "terrible trade deal" even if you negotiated it yourself

Step two: create havoc and chaos

Step three: Negotiate a similar or worse trade deal than the previous one

Step four: Laude the new trade deal as if it were the best thing ever

Nobody profits

You can get a couple friends to go to the middle of nowhere and buy a few acres for very low prices. Combined, your UBI payments will easily cover the mortgage.

No, property prices keep increasing because people need to live close to work. Remove that need and people will move elsewhere, causing lower property prices. The pandemic perfectly demonstrated this effect.

Your goal is beyond what a lot of people are looking for. It's very rare that you would encounter a practical application for a FFT in which you can't simply use a prebuilt library. If you only want to study it (e.g. as a basis for more advanced algorithms), then you can study the mathematical description without implementing it.

It'll be easier since you wouldn't have to study the C syntax nearly as much. Also the LLM will draw upon its knowledge of existing FFT implementations and make the correct assumptions about what you're trying to do. It's only when you want something different from everyone else that you'll need to be extremely specific with the prompt.

Also you're contradicting yourself. If an LLM can be programmed with a rigorous specification, then what's the intrinsic difference to programming in C? Why can't we think of English as just another high-level programming language? I mean it's easier, but Python is easier than C, which is itself easier than assembly, and schools don't have problems teaching Python.

You forgot that India has an entire ocean.

"America" is not even necessarily the US. Referring to the largest gulf between North and South America as "Gulf of America" seems reasonable to me.

Disputed names are not really problems. In Japan, the body of water to their west is the Sea of Japan. In Korea it's called the East Sea. In Vietnam, East Sea is the sea to the east of Vietnam, not Korea. In China that's called the South China Sea. Maybe there's a bit of confusion when a Korean and a Vietnamese talk oceanography, but the rest are pretty clear.

I'm pretty sure if we meet aliens, their name for our planet would not be "Earth" and that's okay. We don't need to sue them and try to get them to change it.

Get the bot to write code that does 90% of what you need, maybe with a few small issues left. Ask senior devs for help, they tell you how to fix those. You pass that to the bot, which fixes the bugs. Now you get the credit for delivering a feature.

There is no intrinsic difference between legacy programming (telling the computer what to do using a programming language) and LLM-based programming (telling the computer what to do using English). The problem of getting it to do exactly what you want as opposed to what you said is still there. The problem of difficult-to-diagnose bugs is still there. You still need to consider resource constraints, extensibility, maintainability etc. Junior developers are not expected to solve these problems, so you can get pretty far without anyone noticing.

Why do they even need the chromebook ?

I don't think it's for the benefit of the kids and it opens up the families to a liability that I never had growing up with a pen and paper

I have noticed a trend around here that began before COVID. Restaurant remodels started building open sheet metal ceilings with echoes so bad you can't talk to the person across the table. Throw in piped-in-music to help raise the racket level and it's a recipe for me to find somewhere else to spend my money. These aren't your typical slacker WiFi hangout spots either.
