BTW if you end up with an impacted ear drum or you just want to deeply clean your ears: peroxide. Just tilt your head sideways and pour it in. Let it sit for a while and it will break up enough wax to dislodge it. You might find that you can hear much better after.

Maybe I just don't think "country" == "government", and I try to be careful with my phrasing so as not to make blanket pejorative statements about people.

I'm leery of Larry.

This makes me so nervous about how AI is going to influence children and adolescents of the coming generations. From iPad kids to AI teens. They'll be at a huge risk of dissociation from reality.

Agreed.

And sometimes code is not the right medium for communicating domain knowledge. For example, if you are writing code the does some geometric calculations, with lot of trigonometry, etc. Even with clear variable names, it can be hard to decipher without a generous comment or splitting it up into functions with verbose names. Sometimes you really just want a picture of what's happening, in SVG format, embedded into the function documentation HTML.
