Freely readable and mutable weights doesn’t have the same ring to it.

How many judges are able to make deep technical adjudications about which use of DNS is sufficient to be a title I or title II carrier?

I think the notion that these jobs are useless is wrong. Most of the categories in bullshit jobs are just straight up not bullshit. Most jobs are useful.

Things like lawyers, secretaries, corporate compliance officers generally provide value.

Things like middle management are more dubious, but I think they generally do provide value.

And 14 year olds would never work in mines.

Do you think companies care enough about some nebulous notion of control that they’re willing to spend massive amounts of money?

I’m confused what point you’re making here. Is it that some (non office) jobs require you to be there?

I don’t understand why you separate groups A and B. The comment said that it’s the same orgs and agencies doing both things.

> socializing the costs of office space

Aren’t we talking about private businesses here?

If you would rather commute than work, sure. I don’t like driving that much though.

> the point of the job ends up being to keep people employed and pay taxes

I don’t think this thesis holds any water. Companies don’t care about keeping people employed and paying taxes on such a micro scale that they’re willing to bite the bullet and hire people because they know it’s for some greater good of societal stability.

> finance is 98% bullshit in this world.

I think this has been famously phrased as “money is the root of all evil”

I think point particles are different because there are infinitely many of them. They are more continuous than cards. This means shaking isn’t necessarily discontinuous even if two particles that were “right next to each other” wind up far apart, there should be more particles in between that ended up closer.

I’m wondering how differentiate:

> “ start reading their resume to me […] or just start saying nonsense”

From:

> “ trickle out the things they're most proud of. They'll ramble for a bit”

Generally rambling and nonsense are similar, and resumes contain trickles of things that people are most proud of.

I used to order Chinese take out to watch every new episode of Burn Notice. I’m not concerned about companies knowing this and using it “against me” in targeted advertising.

I don’t think that analogy works because an idealized fluid is point particles, but an idealized deck of cards isn’t.
