Yeah, it does seem a little weird in our hyper capitalist society for that law to be on the books. I also think it’s extremely wasteful for somebody to not even use a property for 5 years in a world where land is a finite resource. I think a better solution would be escalating tax rates based on number of properties owned and then if a property goes unused for fucking years it can go to the state to then be auctioned off for cheap. It might help reset property values instead of the ever rising investment market we have now too.

I’m a big proponent of use it or lose it. And a functioning society wouldn’t have a squatter problem.

I also decided to do a mild upgrade in my AM4 board rather than shell out for marginal upgrades. I’m rocking the 5700x3d 5700xt build.

It’s not even good for words. AI just writes the same stories over and over and over and over and over and over. It’s the same problem as coding. It can’t think of anything novel. Hell it can’t even think. I’d argue the best and only real use for an llm is to help be a rough draft editor and correct punctuation and grammar. We’ve gone way way way too far with the scope of what it’s actually capable of

That’s not a bad idea. I’m already downloading lots of human knowledge and media that I want backed up because I can’t trust humanity anymore to have it available anymore

Ai is literally just copy pasting. Like if you think about AI as a control C control V machine, it makes sense. You wouldn’t trust a single fucking junior Dev that didn’t actually know how to code because they just Ctrl C control V from stack overflow for literally every single line of code. That’s all fucking AI is

I built my PC in 2019 right at the end of the year and I thank the gods everyday. I’ve only done one CPU upgrade since and it’s still great for 1440p gaming. The whole tower minus monitor and what not was probably like $900 at the time

I actually use floorp. It’s literally the most customizable Firefox fork. It’s the only Firefox fork that allows me to have my tab bar exactly correct the way I want it.

But yeah name’s stupid. I kind of love it though. It’s so non-serious

They don’t even need that. current AI will tell them that. They’ve actually ran these questions and they ignore the answer every time
