"God, modernist literary fiction is so plebian." - anon probably.
Next he'll ask for "ulysses" and get mad when pointed to James Joyce instead of Homer.
Do you think sitting on your arse claiming there's nothing to be done is more or less demoralising than singing in the streets with like minded people?
Maybe you work different than most humans, but I think the answer to that is pretty obvious for the rest of us.
US economic output is more than adequate to achieve this already, but we choose instead to concentrate the benefits in the hands of a few.
Regarding tarrifs bringing back manufacturing: https://www.kcl.ac.uk/trumps-tariffs-what-is-behind-them-and-will-they-work "but this is very unlikely to work. Manufacturing has changed, with production now spread across multiple countries in so-called ‘global value chains’. Moving whole supply chains back to the US is going to be prohibitively expensive, result in rising consumer prices and make US-produced goods internationally uncompetitive. The model of manufacturing that underpins Trump’s approach simply hasn’t existed for the best part of 40 years, and is not coming back."
First pass googling this returns very low information quality. I suspect "calculable" is more more like it than "measurable" but would love to see a source where measurements had been made that showed this effect greater than standard error.

Avoiding Gell-Mann amnesia! Unfortunately, to even get to this question you have to be expert enough in one area to see through the BS... Not a luxury everyone is afforded.
Precisely. If you train by lifting stones you can still use the lever later, but you'll be able to lift even heavier things by using both your new strength AND the leaver's mechanical advantage.
By analogy, if you're using LLMs to do the easy bits in order to spend more time with harder problems fuckin a. But the idea you can just replace actual coding work with copy paste is a shitty one. Again by analogy with rock lifting: now you have noodle arms and can't lift shit if your lever breaks or doesn't fit under a particular rock or whatever.
If your basket has a big fuck off hole in it stop putting eggs in...
Thus frames the eggs as the humans and the basket as earth. Could easily flip it and say we are stewards of one planet and if we fuck up so catastrophically we have to leave maybe our arrival wouldn't be the best idea for the next habitable planet we land on...
Wow, that was their takeaway from that game? I honestly didn't think about it once the whole playthrough, why are they so desperate to role play racism/sexism?
I can't help comparing it (unfavourably) to baldurs gate 1. The story just didn't hook me the same way.

Not quite never. You just need the tax rate plus marginal change in lost benefits/increased obligations to exceed 100%. For example there's a breakpoint in the UK around childcare over 100k income that makes it way worth salary sacrificing to get below if you have kids. I can imagine there are similar niche things for small businesses around audit requirements or whatever, but not enough of an expert to know.
