One flow I started to experiment with was using Google's stitch to get some initial designs put together, from there would feed that into Codex/Claude Code for analysis and updates and refine the design to get it to what I wanted. After a couple of screens the patterns that you want start to emerge and the LLMs can start using those as examples for the next set of screens you want to build.

Agreed, I think the simple answer is the tax rate is one thing for a primary residence and another for non-primary residences regardless of who owns it. For example in CA, Prop 13 stays in place for your primary residence, but properties are re-assessed every year like in Texas if it's not your primary residence. In addition, take away some (or all) of the tax deductions for SFH that aren't primary residences.

One of the areas where I've struggled to get effective use out of the LLM's is with UI/UX. That isn't my primary area of expertise (backend) so it definitively could be operator error here, but I use tools like v0.dev and just can't quite get it to do what I need it to do. Anybody have any tools, workflows, suggestions for this?

In my opinion the story here is that AWS allowed them to quickly build and prove out a business idea. This in turn afforded them the luxury to make this kind of switch. Cloud did it's job.

Questions:
- Can you do analysis of video captured from Trace cameras?
- Any roadmap for exporting the data for both team and player?

In my opinion, which doesn't mean much, we're in a very weird spot where it's like 50/50 on usefulness and uselessness. There are certainly approaches where GenAI can be incredibly helpful, I've seen it in action in the day job. However, there are also avenues where it's complete snake oil.

Was hoping someone would drop a HermitCraft reference!

Slightly off topic, however, the post references the Carlsbad desalination facility. If you find yourself in San Diego and like oysters, I would highly recommend you checkout the Carlsbad Aquafarm. Take the tour and pick up some oysters.
What's really interesting and relevant to the topic is that the oyster farm serves as a pre-filter to the desalination plant and there's an symbiotic relationship between the plant and the oyster farm.

Looks like Wrexham's transfer budget for next season just went up :)

Does this mean Goonies is now based on true events?

Let me preface this by saying I'm so far out of my lane on this, however I have some thoughts on the paper.
- One thing that I've picked up from a number of sources that isn't mentioned in the article, is that millennials entering the home buying phase of their lives as being a big reason why housing was primed to pop between 2020-2024. Basically demographics have played a huge part in this boom. - Most mortgages are actually in good shape from a paper perspective [1] - Most mortgages are 30-yr compared to the crazy ARM instruments [2]
My theory is that home prices will NOT drop, like in 2008, but rather will stabilize. Three reasons why: 1. Milliennials will keep overall demand up 2. Homebuilders will slow down on producing new inventory, and we're already at all time lows for inventory 3. Existing homeowners will be hesitant to sell because most are locked into a 30-yr with most likely a sub 2-3% mortgate
All of that, in theory, will result in less overall supply which will keep prices stable

I asked my CPA last year what could I do and his suggestion was what you mentioned start a business that racks up losses. The catch is I believe that you have to show that you are making money within 5-yrs. But I'm not an accountant, so get that fact checked by someone who is.

I think there are a number of reasons why you would.
- Built on top of the JVM
- Large number of 3rd libraries, i.e. Jackson, Jetty, Spring Boot, Hibernate, etc.
- Mature, can find support in numerous areas
- Dependency management, I'm sure many will disagree but I've found Maven to work well enough for what i need it to do both from dependency management and releasing
- It's the language I'm the most efficient with and if I'm building something brand new I favor speed of iteration over having to stumble over learning a new language. NOTE: I'd say the same thing about C#, Swift, Javascript, etc. If that either of those were my primary language I'd do the project in that because speed is your friend when starting out.
