What is "learn" and what is "train"? It seems weird to distinguish this atm.

Many human devs can code, but few can build software.

Media has the follow the money, and for as long as media is paid by advertising, then they have to report on stuff that gets the most salience even if it's proportionally irrelevant.

Is language still unique to humans given the rise of LLMs lol!

Are you installing them onsite?

No the basic bargain of insurance is a community paying their surplus into a pool that pays out for random unfortunate events that are uncorrelated and could happen to any member of the community.

Adversarial for profit insurance does not make sense as it creates perverse incentives.

Yes exactly if workers can just up and leave and treat the job transactionally, that creates a race to the bottom. Workers have to train themselves then.

Texas is ran by property owners.

I recently had an experience at a soup kitchen. It was my first time in an entirely new group and new place. Naturally I found that everybody only interacted with each other - the volunteers, not the people lining up for food. I realised it was more like a social gathering but there was a clear divide between the volunteers and the people getting the end product. In that sense I'm not really sure that soup kitchens do much besides allow a surplus time of the more fortunate to gather socially together for a pro-social benefit (hard to see if it's actually pro-social for those consuming the food).

There are such things as intentional communities. I predict multi-adult households will make a comeback. The era of nuclear families is coming to an end. It takes a village to raise children.

Yes but also it's important to critically engage with reality as well. Many people think they are constructing some original identity without testing it against reality. No plan survives battle.

There's not such thing as a permanent fixed identity though. "Just be yourself" raises a more interesting question. Who is yourself? Why is that way? Why should it be that way? Have you reflected on why you want what you want or why you behave the way you do? Do you think the way you are is the way you should be? Or is there a cognitive disconnect between the is and ought?
