Set it up so those that don’t work also don’t get enough money to do those fun things.

Enough to not die, but not enough to live.

What grade sudents is this for? Do you intend for this to be a dedicated class/semester or just a single unit? How good are they at operating a computer? (Typing, clicking, etc)

Although novel, there are also existing deployments of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flywheel_storage_power_system

IMO in the same way everyone learns arithmetic but doesn’t necessarily go into mathematics or finance, I think everyone should learn basic logic and coding, enough to basically use spreadsheet formulas, which is a half step away functional programming. (I’m pretty sure Excel even supports named functions and lambdas)

I’d think autonomous killing machines wouldn’t have a humanoid shape, as it would be optimized for efficient lethality and not things like grasping external tools and all-terrain movement that is calorically efficient and biomechanically sustainable.

What does it take to emigrate there?

Then you’ve used one without knowing, because somewhere between the ORM you used and the database was SQL, and that SQL was put together by the ORM’s query builder

If by “raw dog SQL” you mean dynamically concatenating strings (conditionally, interpolating runtime values), that’s literally a query builder, albeit a janky SQL-injectable one.

What do you mean? SQL query builders exist in pretty much every lang

when you can’t even tell if they just took the day off with pay or not

But if the output of technical work isn’t apparent in any way besides measuring indirect metrics like “hours of butt in seat”, don’t we have a much bigger problem?

I dunno, I remember it more like, “hey computer, make a LARP/natural wonder/cozy space/sing & dance number for my real humanoid (and android) friends and I to enjoy together”. When computer manifestations got regarded as worthy of personhood, it was either some exceptional case, or the story was about the character’s delusion.

Every line of code by Claude Code, eh?

How old were they, when they had those experiences? I’ve been thinking I need to have them feel they’ve wasted “their own” money to develop a sense of regret, too.

What did you do?

Do you have a version with type annotations, perhaps in a gist?

IMO that is a legitimate practical transition barrier to really having UBI, though

It’s hard for me to imagine a transition to UBI that isn’t fairly tumultuous

Then seems like they may have chosen these platforms because they’re not accessible and thus not threatening, in a malicious compliance way

Although, giving them the benefit of doubt, perhaps they wanted a low blast radius for their first integration rollout, which is considered good engineering practice.

That’s not “a fix”, that’s called “a practical workaround” which is used in the real world all the time.

What aspects of coding?

Turing Tumble is a marble run puzzle game that’s Turing complete, i.e. in the abstract sense, it can compute anything a computer could. It implements bit flippers, logic gates, and memory using falling marbles and levers. Completely mechanical and very tactile.

For textual programming, check out Hedy, a language designed for the classroom. It stands out vs others like Scratch or Snap because Hedy is gradual. A presentation by its creator

If “natural immunity” is playing a sport and winning against an opponent (pathogens), then vaccination is practicing beforehand.

And this is not a game you want to lose.
