I'm sure that's a side effect that Texas is happy with.

Aside from hard science and engineering degrees where the technical knowledge is a foundation for what you'll learn in industry, a college degree is simply a piece of paper that says "I received a balanced education and have my life together enough to focus, manage time, and complete tasks reliably for 4 years straight." Rarely do you ever use most of the knowledge you gained in college besides the aforementioned life management skills.

Radiator end tank exploded about 2 months ago and it overheated. It then blew the head gasket a month after that, likely cause by the radiator failure. Yanked it all apart in one weekend, putting it back together this weekend. All new top end gaskets. For 230k miles the inside of this engine is spotless.

Except O'Reilly gave us a head bolt kit that only had 7 out of 10 bolts...

Yes.

Muscle mass is significantly heavier per unit of volume than fat is. Around 15-20% heavier. Muscles also fill in around the bones first instead of on the surface of the skin like subcutaneous fat.

Clean as a whistle. I love this car to death.

Very interesting how Honda built a separate oil galley casting that bolts to the bottom of the main bearing supports for oiling, rather than run galleys thru the block like most other manufacturers. Probably explains why these engines last so long, having those nice big high-flow passages everywhere.

There's a significant difference in the purpose of the scraping.

Google et al. run crawlers primarily to populate their search engines. This is a net positive for those whose sites get scraped, because when they appear in a search engine they get more traffic, more page views, more ad revenue. People view content directly from those who created it, meaning those creators (regardless of whoever they are) get full credit. Yes, Google makes money too, but site owners are not left in the cold.

ChatGPT and other LLM's works by combing its huge database of known content its "learned" to cook up an answer through fast math magic. Content it scrapes to populate this database can be regurgitated at any time, only now its been completely processed and obfuscated to an insane degree. Any attribution of content is completely stripped in the final product, even if it ends up being a word-for-word reproduction. Everything OpenAI charges for its LLM goes directly to OpenAI, and those who have created content to train it will never even know it was used without their consent.

Essentially, LLM's operate like a huge middle school plagiarism machine shitting all over any concept of copyright, only now they're making billions off said plagiarism with no plans to stop. It's a huge ethical conundrum and one I heavily disagree with.

It's Elon. He was literally trying to get his car lineup to spell SEXY before Ford cockblocked him on the "Model E" moniker, so he settled for "S3XY". Dudes an actual middle schooler in a billionaires body, spelling this is probably exactly what he's trying to do lol

Also that construction worker: has bad back, bad knees, arthritic hands and skin cancer at age 42

Don't get me wrong the trades are amazing for a kid to get into right out of school, and they're critically necessary. But don't be expecting to make a lifelong career out of it, because it is absolutely hard on your body. Do it for 5 years max and move up to management.
