Easy mode is where the Tesla has to decide if it needs to kill a linear combination of people and frogs, e.g. 3 frogs and 2 people, or 100 frogs and 1 person, or 100 frogs and a 0.0001% chance of 1 person, or 1 frog 1 person vs 2 frogs and 3 people... etc.

I don't see these as teachable moments- action & opinion change happens at the margin, with the uncommitted & people on the fence.

Someday I wanna lookup what the sociologist/social scientists have had to say about how about what happens to conversations between people polarized no an issue.

*on an issue

or it keeps on chugging along
or it all devolves into pizza and beer parties.

That's all the options.

so much prior art

I'm mostly utilitarian, but I hate the olds and the reckless, apparently.

ho! I can disable control C in vim mode too!

is (most likely!) switch to a company whose monetization plan is to sell out to a big company like Microsoft.

This isn't a pure hobby.

Is anyone on the chain intelligent? Why would they setup a stupid workflow like this? Is there like an opposite to Artifical Intelligence, because this would be it, natural stupidity. Is the aggregate smart? Would you like to invest in this startup?

Me and the 9yo finished in about 42 minutes. The Mrs finished in 54 with the 6 yo, who can run a 45m 5k in practice runs.

And someday twitter will show the code I'm linking to and not just my face again

Go join the vegans or the esperantists and look at how much progress they've made and despair at how hard it is to change hearts & minds. The papist court will create a papist legal system & it isn't going to change most people's behaviors.

(It is also possible we're all moral monsters and will collectively switch to brutal fascism if only the SC would give us the chance, but change is hard & the SC might as well be legislating we all speak Esperanto or go Vegan.)

For partisans, it's game theory and where one side wins the other must be losing. For ideologues, they got ideas, rules they want
Low tax Republicans = ideologues
Free speech Republicans = ideologues
Trump = partisan. Policy driven by opportunists & a desire to crush the other.

White supremacists are ideologues & there aren't a lot of them. What we got a lot of are partisans, the plumbers & exmilitary & office workers who don't have any policy opinions just want to see their enemies fall. The coalition structure makes it hard to make sweeping statements

The Rs are funded by billionaire opportunists who are not ideologues or partisans, they have a coalition with religious ideologues (Catholics who want the inquisition) & a coalition with a huge class of policy apathetic working class populist-partisans.

Somehow the left lost the working class & populism, that is the coalition that could be revived.

Anyhow, I'm just a bystander watching the tides roll in and out thinking about how much energy it would take to change it. I alone can at best make a small wave.

Covert messy input to real* types ASAP and keep most of the code base working with those.

* i.e. not strings, serialization formats, things that need parsing before you can work with them.
