I'm guessing you don't have kids?
If I let my kids ate what they liked their palates would never have grown and they would still only want mac and cheese. Both from a "eating well rounded/healthy" perspective, also from a "growing your palate so you'll enjoy all sorts of foods" perspective (not to mention a "dad isn't going to cook 4 separate meals for dinner so we are all eating the same thing once you aren't a toddler" perspective) I firmly disagree with your sentiment.
Upside is my kids (now middle school and high school) generally eat all sorts of stuff. Sorry not sorry.
Edit - now that i properly read your post I retract some of my attitude. I agree about the "try new things and don't force them to eat things they hate" bit. I don't think you are suggesting just let them eat the minimal things they like. So sorry for being a dick.

Nothing quite like Florida cold springs for sure. I lived in Orlando and definitely took advantage of Rock Springs, Wekiwa, Blue Springs, etc. Truly magical places.

If we stopped growing almonds for the entire freaking world Norcal would have lots and lots of water. 80% of California water goes to agriculture, 20% of that is for tree nuts, and 2/3rds of them are exported overseas.
I do agree (as a Michigan native originally) the best prospects over the next 50 years are Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. But both career prospects and winter make that a hard miss for me.

Leaving Florida was one of the more joyous occasions in my life. I moved somewhere with earthquakes and wildfires, but at least my daughters will have access to reproductive healthcare and if one of my kids turns out gay or trans they won't be under existential thread. Natural Florida I absolutely love, esp when it used to be weird (a la Carl Hiaasen) but christ almighty is it a failed state.

Waymo is already operating fully autonomous self driving taxis in SF. Price point is about the same as uber/lyft, a bit cheaper since no tip. And they are all hella nice Jaguars. The difference is Waymo uses lidar and radar to make it work (and also did intensive mapping of city streets). Still needs a lot of work to scale (they do dumb things, but so do human drivers, and are limited to the city so I can't take one to or from my home in Berkeley yet) but they fully exist and are a viable option today.

I have a friend with a PhD in linguistics, worked for years in the SF tech world in i18n, not quite a PM, not an engineer, not a CX person but somewhere between the three. He got laid off and found it impossible to get another role, I think in large part because he's super over qualified by education and years of experience, but in such a niche skill set that doesn't really fit into traditional tech company roles. He ended up taking a job at the airport doing plane loading and such!

We have one (volvo xc90 with 3rd row seats) that is for going places with our kids, and another (a nicer/newer mercedes e350) that is the adults only car. I think the Volvo is technically in my name, the Benz in my wife's but I'd have to check to see if I didn't reverse those.

I'm not sure if this is an Oscar reference or a Zizek reference and either way I'm here for it.

That seems more like an argument for free higher education rather than restricting what corpuses a deep learning model can train on

I take it you don't understand how startups work?
OpenAI is not making any profit and is losing money hand over fist today. Valuation and raising investment rounds isn't profit.

Eh? That article says nothing about their profit margins. Today they have something like $3.5B in ARR (not really, that's annualized from their latest peak, in Feb they had like $2B ARR). Meanwhile they have operating costs over $7B. Meaning they are losing money hand over fist and not making a profit.
I'm not suggesting anything else, just that they are not profitable and personally I don't see a road to profitability beyond subsidizing themselves with investment.

I think the R is also because she posts all the fucking time about it. I assumed she had some dumb reactionary views but wasn't quite sure why that was so newsworthy (I'm sure lots of people have dumb reactionary views, esp the ultra wealthy). But she literally posts all day every day about it, it's fucking bonkers.

Nicotine helps with neural degeneration and things like dementia and alzheimers.
Any recommendations for learning (modern) prolog? Specifically looking at ishigo/prolog and trealla-go as a way to embed rules validation engines in a golang application. Am I insane? If not (or so) how do I best go about learning prolog?
