My hope is that we can at least get a Civ game with a competent AI...

Actuary here. I don't work in ILS but I'm familiar with what you're talking about.

It depends on the details of the product. In theory you could get a product that doesn't have a cliff and it will be priced accordingly.

These are basically equivalent to options in finance.

For anyone looking for a good anime, I would recommend Planetes which is about a crew that protects the Earth from space debris.

My dad was one these ARVN soldiers. In the final days of the war he and his drill sergeant stole a helicopter as Saigon fell and flew west, expecting to keep fighting. They wound up in a refugee camp in Thailand and eventually made it to the US. He wouldn't see his family again until Clinton normalized relations with Vietnam 20 years later.

In those final moments, soldiers who knew how to fly took whatever aircraft they could get their hands on, (Chinooks, Hueys, Cessnas, etc.) and flew aimlessly, hoping to run into friendly forces along the way before their fuel ran out.

When I used a power meter, the data could be exported in some kind of machine-readable format like CSV. All you do is change the numbers.

I'm thinking one way to easily do motor doping is via the bike changes. A rider swaps a doped bike brought in by the team that wasn't checked at the start during the easy portions and rides 100km saving watts along the way. They then change back to a regular bike before things get intense and meanwhile the team finds a way to discreetly get rid of the doped bike.

After the stage the doping controls check the regular bike, but are unaware of the existence of the doped bike.

Rideshare and delivery apps have enabled more people to do those jobs than before.

Technology can also reduce the skills needed for jobs. For example, you no longer need to have an entire city's streets memorized to be a taxi driver.

Even if the loans weren't subsidized by the government, the schools wouldn't do it. It's more likely they would be financed by banks like they are with other goods.

There are still elevators like that in the Fine Arts Building in Chicago. In addition to the elevators, it's a great place to be if you're a musician. There are studios, practice rooms, and musical instrument shops too.

Since ChatGPT relies on Stack Overflow and similar sites for training data, it's only really going to be as good what's already on the Web.

So it can't replace these sites in their entirety, because if those sites decline, so will the quality of ChatGPT responses. I suppose there will be some kind of mediocre equilibrium.

In one of his lesser-known roles (Apollo 10 1⁄2), Jack Black plays a kid whose family is involved in the space industry. It takes place in my hometown, Clear Lake. Even though it takes place a few decades before I was born, I was able to recognize a park I used to visit and a nearby elementary school which were accurately recreated in the film.
