Back prop and attention are just extensions of interpolation.

Even worse, a lot of municipalities are losing population. But no-one wants to drop everything in their lives and move to a dying city, specially not high intelligence individuals who tend to gather causing home prices to skyrocket. Worse, those individuals tend not to buy into the types of housing typically seen by large developers building "relief" housing.

A huge portion of why home prices dont fall is because most people dont pay for their homes up front, the actual cost of the home after the interest is 2x the total loan amount. So people dont want to sell for what they feel like is a loss.

I'd argue building more supply just makes the problem worse, since the builders almost always try to extract as much money from the potential buyers. With the internet and everyone reporting salaries most sellers price houses to extract as much money as possible included possibly expected "crypto" or other hidden sources of income.

The reality being we likely won't see a dip in home prices until the population holding homes ages out, saying there's a "housing crisis" is just spreading fear uncertainty and doubt to trick buys into unsatisfactory houses.

Worse, most if not all "REST" apps have security vulnerabilities because of how browser front-ends handle authentication.

To handle authentication "properly" you have to use cookies or sessions which inheritly make apps not RESTful.

Disassociates the value of the underlying assets which devalues the currency. Probably why regulatory bodies had to get involved.

What about arresting and sending to the mental hospital multiple times to deal with psychopathic caregivers whose purpose is ultimately to make you homeless?

A good Christian or any good person would viewing that scene would actively fight to make the person sufferings life better instead of feeding into the false "caregivers" or more aptly put abusers who are more interested in robbing people than improving their lives.

Simply put the observer affect shows that somethings cannot be measured without causing change to the system hence may not be verifable.

Maybe the only way to make enough random looney until they outnumber the "sane" individuals. The only issues being how do you organize the new pyramid structure which will evidently be formed by this new "religious" organization?

The fact that in different parts of the world the voices can be helpful instead of intrusive makes me feel like the drugs are not the problem but how external forces view the drugs or if we really wanna talk like crazy people how the drugs influence the people around you even if they do not directly know you are using the drugs.

You could argue it's all the nice GPU debugging tools nVidia provides which makes GPU programming accessible.

There are so many potential bottlenecks (normally just memory access patterns, but without tools to verify you have to design and run manual experiments).

Cant even tell you how many times vibe code leaves obvious security bugs. Atleast it makes me feel like my job isn't going away anytime soon.
