Given it affects PE funds that have gouged up all the supply, yes that is sound logic.
My province's capital has 43% of unhinabitated houses. They are not even on the market, as we are in a housing crisis. Vast majority of them are property of large housing groups that are backed by black rock and company.
The same firms are manouvering the politicians to get approvals to build modern monstruosities, because there is a housing crisis, but they build only luxury homes thst cost too much and remain unhinabitated.
Yes it is sound logic to force big conglomerates to dissolve by law. Law should aim for the public good.
There should be huge taxes on empty houses. This breaks the supply demand price negotiation, if they can gauge price by 2x they dont care if they rent half the houses.
Such a law existed in San Francisco since 2022 and it was just cancelled by court order. The problem is: there are so many edge cases for empty apartments that it is impossible to account for. In Berlin, e.g., just imagine all the empty apartments in 10 years because no one wants to rent unrenovated, uninsulated apartments because of energy prices. The landlord cannot pay renovation. Forcing landlords to pay an empty apartment penalty doesn't help here.
Yes, I mentioned SpaceX a few minutes ago before your post. I didn’t like that but that’s only one company and it is Elon. He’s been scamming investors well before SpaceX.
I think Anthropic is postponing their IPO because OpenAI is killing it.
1) i write code for a living. Without the tool. I have never been impressed by the tools and don't want to use them for work because i know my brain will rot pretty fast, pretty soon. Amused, sure, but they are still stupid by large. Useful idiot remain a useful idiot even if it appears smarte. My boss shows me some cool shit he experimented with all the time, only to have the thing redone from scratch every other week. Still useful, still a mess, still requiring competent people to keep the castle from crumbling. And you can't get competent people without having them do the hard work.
2) i want them to fail and disappear forever. Let open models stay. Let the VC fuckers starve to death before they use MY retirement fund without my consent because they bribe regulator to include them in protected indexes even if they have not followed the process, just because they are the future and too big, trust me bro
3) fuck me if i identify myself with my job, and only my job.
About 1), boss is a smart person that tries things for himself so we are not overemcumbered with everey little idea or thought, tries then sees what's not working then we discuss about it and proceed accordingly. If we have time we do the trying ourselves, but again there is only so much one can do in a work day. Tool is useful to him and that is good, but there is not enough prompting that can save you from "you're absolutely right." even if you use a local model with zero kelvin temperature. It's the nature of the tool, actual skill and experience can never be replaced.
Now, onto how we can get current year juniors and low tier managers to understand that...

Probably aligns with #2. They probably will buy the dip.
3) fuck me if i identify myself with my job, and only my job.
i can assure you that if coding will ever die becuase of AI (it won't.) it doesn't matter because i have a list of other interests and skills i cultivated growing up, and even now. I even have a few i haven't fully explored because a day is only 24 hours, and if i need a job, a competent person will always have work, he can get up to a new task in little time. I have friends always looking for someone with half a brain. Do you have at least half a brain? As a matter of fact, i feel sorry for those that can't see past their day job.
The other poster is right, i took the bait (willingly)
This is absolute nonsense. He is explicitly saying he does not feel threatened by it because he is confident in his own coding skills, and that he does not tie his identity to his work, and you are just making things up saying he actually believes the opposite.
is it yet another vibecoded website? akin to the poster discussion, all vibecoded websites do not need to look like the same, please put some care or taste in your prompts.
The consent dialog is one of the most unhinged examples I’ve seen. No “reject all”, I clicked reject on each of the visible sections which kept the save selected button grayed out. To fix that you have to click all providers and reject each one, and there are nearly 200.
I know. In this case i usually set firefox in reader mode, and if the page doesn't load, nothing of value was lost. (Clickbait anyway. The option had been there almost as long as sponsored links in home tiles)
ever used backports? no need to go to sid. Flatpack/Appimage/Compile from source for the rest (on my debian machine it's just kicad that is not installed from APT, well and the couple of softwares that don't do deb)
Firmwares, that's another story, i have fedora on the laptop for that.
> The problem comes when you have to use proprietary software made by incompetent vendors, and that only works in Ubuntu
If i want to do FPGA development, either ubuntu or a distro old enough to package JDK 11 (sigh) and X. not XWayland. Debian 11 was the last one to have JDK 11 i think (talk about ancient..)
Needless to say FPGA is done on the windows machine these days.
