If they're already well versed in dodging fiscal rules, why do they need a space computer?
Physical location is difficult to dodge unfortunately.
Fiscal rules are sort of man made.
I wonder if text embeddings and semantic similarity would be effective here?
I have. For a similar-ish task.
LLMs still beat a clarifier, because they're able to extract more signals than a text embedding.
It's very difficult to beat an LLM + prompt in terms of semantic extraction.

Society should not be engineered to make sure members of the professional class don’t have to enter the working class. To do so would be unfair to the working class, not to mention bad for competition and productivity. Demand is high for a variety of trades and healthcare jobs.
The goal of society was to encourage upward mobility and not the other way around.
Not that working class has anything wrong with it. Most of us are. Preferring to do white collar is perfectly alright. Considering the emotional toil rote work has on you
Big box VM host running several VMs, hardware starts to fail, brings the entire setup to its knees. That wouldn't happen if you had each VM running on its own physical hardware, unless the UPS/PDU died...
VMs are able to live migrate these days. Single VM has a lot more uptime guarantee than a distributed system with multiple over the network communication layers.
I've been at too many startups with a devops team that would rather provision 15 machines with 4GB RAM THAN ONE WITH 64GB.
I once got into an argument with a lead architect about it and it's really easy to twist the conversation into "don't you think we'll reach that scale?" To justify complexity.
The bottom line is for better or worse, the cloud and micro services are keeping a lot of jobs relevant and there's no benefit in convincing people otherwise

Interesting, I was in a (minor) accident with a waymo and a cat in LA.
The cat survived, but waymo had no idea about the cat. It definitely could see dogs on the sidewalk fine, but cat crossing the street is just too small to notice
You are arguing with the article, not with me.
Yes.
The article is equating automation technologies to the laborers in Qatar and humans in General to the Qatari.
The comparison is bad and yes the article is ridiculous, but it does not argue for human oppression or capital accumulation in a small minority of humans, it argues that in fact such an accumulation will be meaningless.
> But there is a risk that those who own negligible amounts of capital prior to full automation will be out of luck. With nothing but their wages to survive on, they may live dreary lives, and perhaps even starve. However, at least for citizens of high-income democracies, this risk seems to be quite small.
And then the article goes on to explain, how historically governments have always redistributed wealth from rich to the poor.
The wealthy were incentivized to provide for the bottom of the population only because there was need for labour for the wealth to stay alive. but then, going by the article's analogy when there is no need for labour, there is no need for the bottom 75% as well.
I think it's the best of every world. Self contained, with an install script. Can bring up every dependent service needed all in one command. Even your example of "a simple script" has 5 different expectations.
