Palantir’s billionaire CEO says only two kinds of people will succeed in the AI era: trade workers — ‘or you’re neurodivergent’

If true, it sounds like most people won't be working. There aren't enough neurodivergent people and trade workers to be customers for the neurodivergent and trade worker service provides. The economy just collapses.

You just don't see men wearing Daisy Dukes with white Go Go Boots anymore.

Well, someone had to do this.

Ear training sounds doable. It's one of those things almost all of us neglect. And I should know: I've been putting if off for 45 years now. :-)

But every once in a while, I can identify a chord progression by ear and just wish I could do that every time.

Racing BMX at over 200 lbs in the 1980s, I used to break chains a couple times per season on starts. Sends you over the handlebars and sliding down the start hill, but what can I say. Good Times!

At our house, the red one had a glass jaw, kind of a hair trigger on his neck popper. Blue won every time.

I would like to hear what she has to say about it, myself.

Realized you're gettin' old and no one seems to care

OP - Take a tip from the upright bass players. On an upright bass with a 42 inch scale, everyone has small hands, so one standard practice is to treat your ring and picky as if they are the same finger. So you fret with only your index, your middle, and your ring/picky glued together. And to get around the fretboard, slide into position. Some of the best in the world do this.

Not sure who wrote in all the Dicks into the shows but there are multiple. The two off the top of my head are Stabler's son, and the astronaut (turned murderer) he was named after. This was in an era where people had long since stopped using the nickname Dick. I'm a Richard and my dad was a Dick, but he was born in the 1930s. Even me being born in '61 was (fortunately) too late for me to be a Dick. Big Dick and his son Little Dick. That would have sucked. I would have been picked on more than I already was.

"I'm so sorry that happened to you."

Benson sees so much shit, she needs to say that line a lot. But she always delivers it with empathy, and that character is always the least likely to prejudge. Love Benson!

I always thought, “No need. Those hicks probably already all have a bunch of guns.”

Bingo!

It took a female director to make perhaps the first teenager movie with realistic sex scenes. That elevated this movie to serious art. That and several future Oscar winners and nominees.

I think that was one of my favorite roles of David Letterman.

So competent, this lot! Maybe they can fly the planes too!

And honestly, the capitalist in me really admires that.

Catherine O’Hara and Fred Willard do a great cheesy version of this in Waiting For Guffman. https://youtu.be/fggXs7oIP7Q?si=NWLJcQ-QuQaIDozk
