Could you explain for those of us who are a bit slower? Why would the absence of a rich sugar daddy for python be evidence that it can't be done?

Thanks! I too am going baremetal, as I prefer 5 second builds to 45 minutes - but yes the board sounds like a bit of a pain...

Hi, Could you say a few words what makes this board tricky? I've wanted to get one for a similar reason as the OP, although I'm thinking a scheme-like VM with GUI.

I'm closing this down as duplicate and pointless.

This is not idiocracy. It's the prequel. In idiocracy, they understood that they were dumb and put the smart guy in charge.

This looks like the classic "AI can do everybody else's job but mine still needs me".

I know knowledge workers who throw what you give them into the slop machine and return the slop, but I don't need them, I can feed the slop machine myself. I still need those who have experience and taste that the machine hasn't got yet.

I was referring to the comment about private vs public funding. Yes, the only relevant fact is about the morality of hiding knowledge behind exorbitant pay walls. Academics submit papers freely, and sometimes pay for the privilege, peer reviewers work for free, and then the rent seekers charge everybody to read it. It's immoral. I agree.

> he was again concealing his actions because he knew they were wrong.

No, you conceal your actions if you believe others will try to stop you. It has nothing to do with right or wrong.

What annoys me is that when I asked Claude to use code I had already written with selenium to scrape a web page, it refused and told me it wasn't going to get into an arms race with cloudflare. One rule for them and another for us.

Eh, I assume the humanities are a tiny portion of the funding for academia. Their equipment is what, coloured pencils and expensive tea? Hardly anything compared to a large hadron collider.
