  • Elon claims he rejected Epsteins invitations to visit his island, but the released files show he was BEGGING to go - And it seems like Epstein was letting him down gently

    Noted family man Elon Musk evidently tried to make Pedo Island trip scheduling an annual Christmas tradition.

  • Yeah, I've wrestled with my share of poorly documented APIs. It's a problem with free software - writing the code and solving the puzzle is fun, doing the writeup isn't, and so that's when most people give up on a project. Automating documentation is probably not a horrible use case for LLMs assuming they can interpret the code correctly.

  • If you have to qualify praise with "aside from the widespread pedophilia and systematic institutional cover-up," you do not have to hand it to them.

  • that's ok, i love not being able to own a home anyway.

  • Suppose my house is currently worth $600k. The government guarantees that value, then crashes prices by 50% (presumably by some means other than creating new stock, as that would be time consuming and expensive). Now a house near me that used to be $800k is worth $400k. I could then sell my house to the government without having to bother cleaning it up, doing repairs, getting a real estate agent - all the things that add friction and cost to home selling - then turn around and outbid all the people that previously couldn't afford that kind of house because $400k was their ceiling because I have a ton of house money (

    ) to play with. Plus, I would be incentivized to help bid prices back up because profits on home sales are taxable unless they're invested in a new home. Maybe there would be some sort of statutory price ceiling that prevents bidding wars from driving prices up, but that would have to come with some sort of scheme for choosing from among equivalent offers.

    In the absence of price controls, there would probably be a lot of hermit crab shell swapping as existing homeowners get a massive incentive to upgrade their current homes.

    I don't really see the solution fitting in with the existing housing market dynamic; we'd need to fundamentally change how homeownership worked.

  • Current nominal value of the housing market is $55 trillion. Government crashes housing prices, everyone with the guarantee sells because they can take the cash to buy a better home for less money, demand shoots through the roof, housing prices reappreciate, and the government bond market explodes in a spectacular fireworks show?

  • I still feel like it's nicer to be able to install from the command line rather than searching out and downloading the binaries.

  • It depends on what you want to do. Like, if you're just doing basic computer tasks, you can get away without touching the command line. For most other things, there are GUI front ends or utilities that you can find or use, but in some cases learning to use the command line is quicker and easier. Or you make the mistake of starting a home server and suddenly you have to get comfy with the command line because it's the only way to do stuff.

    It's not unprecedented, Bill Clinton turned vegan after he was president, and Joe Biden was an actual vegetable.
