I think its a ubiquitous task which requires some amount of precision dexterity, so its an easy to digest example.

I happen to listen to ATP, a tech podcast of which Casey is a co-host.

I believe his family owns 2 cars, but had to replace one of them recently when a pebble caused a freak accident, essentially totaling the engine in one of the cars. Hence 3 cars purchased in 10 years.

Hard disagree. As a. swiss voter, this is close to my heart.

50% of all energy in the swiss economy is oil / gas. Of the remaining 50% (electricity), 2/3 are generated by hydro. The remaining ~1/3 by nuclear fission.

Swiss electricity prices are sky-high, and the demand for electricity is going to continue to rise.

To remain a competitive industrial economy, to transition away from oil/gas, and to offset any potential losses of hydro power as glaciers melt, nuclear + solar is the only real path for switzerland.

Your argument holds across the supply-curve of software-engineering-skills. However, there must be some threshold where a previously employed dev is now sol because AI+Human outcompetes him (ie the supply curve has shifted, and the point they used to occupy is not unprofitable)

You could vibe a language, feed the spec into a model and vibe the flight sim.

Might your impression of these pictures be colored by your life experience during that time, ie. you might have been in your early twenties with the iPhone 4, and those pictures carried the smell of that time in your life.

No because the goomba is the average of two real opinions, and the strawman is a distortion/reduction of any opinion such that its easy to argue against.

Really? I would have guessed you could argue that it qualifies as „one signal giving device“ since it is one single piece of equipment (ie the horn in a car also has many parts, but it‘s presumably fine) and also that it „only produces one constant sound“, where that sound is composed of different frequencies (again, car horns probably don‘t have a pure tone in Denmark either, right?).

For any individual owner? They are likely to leave before they recoup a project like this

How do you draw this conclusion? Like any other expensive, long-lasting part of the house, this should be seen as an asset which is “priced-in“ to the value of the building.
