Maybe chickpeas are expensive where you live, or maybe you miscalculated. Either way, take a look at my numbers for comparison.
We can get a 3.63kg bag of chickpeas here for $7.49 (CAD). Assuming you fulfill all your Calorie and protein needs from chickpeas alone (2500 Calories and 150g protein per day), it comes out to about $600/year. That’s $1.64/day. In order to be $10/day, you’d have to pay 6x as much for your chickpeas, so that same 3.63kg bag would have to cost $45.50.
More variety in your diet is likely to always be superior to less. That goes for both kids and adults. The trouble with younger kids is that deficiencies can impact their development and have more severe long term consequences, and they’re also less capable of seeking out foods to fill that gap.

In theory, the value they create is in handling all the home maintenance. Of course, many of them don’t do their jobs in practice.
I mean, this is how businesses work in general. If you don’t buy their products/services, then they wouldn’t be able to continue providing them.
I understand that we’re trying to draw attention to exploitative landlords, but if anyone can afford to keep their property regardless of whether or not you pay rent, it’s the exploitative ones.
Well, if that’s how it worked before, they must’ve changed it. I installed it last night without paying and it never blocked me.
So you should really stop calling it laziness. It’s doing a disservice to yourself and anyone else suffering from the same issue. An inability to complete simple tasks when your brain is actively working against you is not a character flaw.
Are you talking about DeArrow? The website gives you the option to pay or just download without paying.
I mean the “person” in the car, not the car itself.
That kinda looks like… SCP-173.
Is this an issue of executive dysfunction? Putting the cart back is such a trivial task that I have a hard time attributing it to laziness. It doesn’t sound like you’re doing it on purpose to be a dick either. Do you find that you sometimes can’t do other things that should also be trivially simple? Like getting up off the couch to grab something two feet away, or deciding that lunch is too complicated because you need to put it in the microwave? My partner and I have both gone through this for most of our lives and it really sucks, but it doesn’t have to be that way.
And if you don’t, someone else will do it for you on your dime.
Before I started adblocking, I’d get “relevant” ads in that I can understand how someone of my age/gender might like it, but they’re never things I’d purchase myself. I just want a mostly empty home with as little visual stimulation as possible, and buying more stuff doesn’t help with that.
So yeah, I’m definitely saying “ads don’t work for me”, but it’s probably only because these companies refuse to make ads targeted to people like me.
mathematically “correct” sounding output
It’s hard to say because that’s a rather ambiguous way of describing it (“correct” could mean anything), but it is a valid way of describing its mechanisms.
“Correct” in the context of LLMs would be a token that is likely to follow the preceding sequence of tokens. In fact, it computes a probability for every possible token, then takes a random sample according to that distribution* to choose the next token, and it repeats that until some termination condition. This is what we call maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) in machine learning (ML). We’re learning a distribution that makes the training data as likely as possible. MLE is indeed the basis of a lot of ML, but not all.
*Oversimplification.
Bills that go towards the goal of keeping someone alive. That someone being either a person who helps victims of conversation therapy through an organization, or a person doing the same thing independently. What makes the former more deserving of compensation for their work than the latter?
It wins in the sense that you still have access to the software and code, and you have the option to either hire someone new to maintaining it or switch to something else. Closed source proprietary software only leaves you with the latter choice.
And what happens when you donate the money? It’s used to pay some other dude’s wages, which then goes towards their bills.
An important component of the cost to consider is how long we expect a company to support a piece of software, and how much it would cost to migrate everything when they drop support. FOSS wins in this regard, especially if you can get a support contact with the devs.
I don’t see how donating it is any less morally wrong. Between what he did and what you propose, both involve using the money to fix the same problem. The difference is just
As a developer? You’re not going to get very far if you refuse to write websites for the world’s current most popular browser.
