Amazing! If only it would appear on my AppleTV...

Shorting is more dangerous than buying long dated puts. At least with puts, if it's volatile there'll be opportunities to sell out of it if the direction isn't down in the long term.

It's so hard to time these things that short term bets are insanely risky. Yeah, thinks should go down, but they might or might not do it soon, and it might happen overnight because somethingsomething Yen Carry Trade or a surprise in the Middle East or some LatAm crash or an election result or God knows what.

How will OpenAI become a channel ? Has it become more clear how ads will be served from inference?

Free healthcare, I think you mean single payer healthcare or a public option for healthcare, exists in most countries in the world. How is it different? How about how is it the same?

I, for one am very thankful for what Microsoft did with Windows 11. It has exactly the feature set, and AI value-add ... to inspire me to take the plunge to Fedora Workstation and I've never been happier. Even Steam games (kind of) work. More importantly dnf update -y becomes exciting.

Windows (and increasingly Apple) updates are more of a sigh and lip biting experience than an exciting one.

I'm really happy not to have touched Windows recently at all.

At work Microsoft's updates are buggy - Outlook and Teams are pretty awful on corporate Macs. Teams especially, it has a bunch of papercut type annoyances. And updates torture Corp IT.

Define letting? The political system has de-criminalized vote buying by re-branding the bribers as 'lobbyists' and protecting it as a 1st Amendment right. Even Guilfoyle's controversy was asking for 100k to her Amex account from a "lobbyist". In most countries it's a jailable offense.

This lobbying means that the politicians might be elected by "us" but they work for "them" - the "lobbyists."

Does this answer your question sufficiently?

There's just one small problem. The AI costs money, and the premise is AI is cheaper than people. If you augment your 100 engineers with AI, they'll cost what, 10% more? That's +10 percent to your cost center, and would be considered very bad. There are tons of tools that make us more productive - think about it, how many of them did we have to beg demand or leave for? You assume they care to maximize productivity, which is your first mistake.

That it exists? Sure.

That it's a degradation in some environments? There's not a lot being said about this. The laments are usually developers sad that they're prompting instead of coding. My lament isn't about the art of it, it's the human reasoning that seems to have gone away in my workplace when it comes to engineers.

People at work are cutting and pasting Claude output for use in routine messages on Teams, troubleshooting suggestions, and proposed architecture designs, and honestly it's some of the dumbest shit I've ever seen. I have to tell people to reword it in their own words, and I believe they often can't.

I've seen developers use Claude to make suggestions for infrastructure design that made absolutely no sense and did not consider our environment. I've seen people write English that grammatically made sense but logically did not.

I don't see enough complaints about this and it can't be just my company.

Is anyone else seeing really severe Dunning-Kruger?

I always check what AI says to me, and I use my own words. I think the average engineer is not.

Any tips to get started with just one rig? A 4070 ti on a two year old Fedora workstation desktop?

What are the tools to look at first for usable models at that thin compute capacity and how do you go about exploring training for hobby and learning purposes?

>Back in the 1800’s when the more dense haussmanian architecture was put in. I’m sure their equivalent of pretty jazz clubs then were mowed down too. But over a 100 years the more housing made space for more people and better culturally richer city.

Absolutely wrong. Haussmann's restructuring of the city was intended to REDUCE overcrowding and darkness due to the narrow alleyways, not to mention illness from the overcrowding. He lowered density, built parks, and then Paris expanded a lot when they absorbed the suburbs in the 1860's. Today Paris is extremely high density, and they're again expanding into the suburbs - look up Grand Paris projects. But the 6 story buildings aren't being demolished to make 30 story buildings like you seem to be suggesting is the thing to t do.

As much as I rail against a soulless place like Houston (with no housing restrictions like in NYC or Cali), I also don't want to turn our cities into Shanghai or New Delhi.

And by the way, what makes you think building more makes housing cheaper? It's not like making widgets in a factory. Gentrification makes things more, not less expensive - have you seen the history of Williamsburg, Brooklyn? Rezoning it turned it into a lux neighborhood with an Apple store, and attracted people from around the world.

What are you talking about? Where do you see Paris being demolished?

How would Greenwich Village look if you turned it all into towers of rental apartments?

France uses expansion of the suburbs to make housing more available, and that includes trams, buses and yes, Metro expansion. You don't need to demolish the fucking bistros and parks to replace them with towers.

In NYC it could be done with NJ Transit being replaced, and better transportation. Then the border areas would become more dense because the investment returns would support it. People would want to move there to work in Manhattan.

Please don't turn world class cities into your LA or Houston Hellscapes of cars and highways. I'd rather pay a million dollars for a tiny one bedroom apartment in a real city than half the price in those soulless, cultureless places where you spend all day behind the wheel of a vehicle.

California bias.

Go to Manhattan and tell me that housing isn't built because of NIMBYism. It's: RTO (very important!), cost of land (land isn't increasing in volume), end of tax subsidies (programs that gave developers tax breaks), zoning (hey let's demolish all the jazz clubs in Greenwich Village and replace it with affordable housing - is that what you consider the correct line?), jobs (the economics of people moving to a place) and many many many more factors.

About once a week someone with a singular conception of the world of housing comes and you need to open their minds up a bit.

You want to lower housing costs? Maybe increase public transportation, give workers rights to work from home, and invest in expanding the suburbs by making them more dense. But don't do that until AFTER you've established the infrastructure piece. Not everyone wants to live in LA or Austin and spend hours in cars.

If you don't do these things then people all want to live in the same place, which is far more impactful than this "NIMBYism" thing, not everything is your local HOA or little town's regulations.

They're in the process of training the models for those professions, too. They're offering people hundreds of dollars an hour to run recordings of workload they create and questions they ask. It's only a matter of time that companies sell access to those models and sell it as that profession.

That makes a lot of sense.

It's just weird that a bot or political campaigners would think they would sway opinions with one sentence "Reddit-like" comments, since HN isn't like that normally. Also who actually gets swayed? This green guy who's mic-dropping his comments are surely not swaying anybody.

I just hope the mods start upping the bar somehow. The one line mic drops are what make Reddit fairly high noise and low quality unless you really know what you're searching for.
