RE: https://techhub.social/@manlycoffee/116649496228028837
Largely because the S&P 500's valuation just looks too daunting to me.
Not saying I'm right.
For all we know, I may feel even more like I've missed the train when things peak even higher, but frankly, I already feel like I've missed the train.

I'm not even asking for anything substantive.
Doesn't even need to involve using tax dollars to house the unhoused (e.g. doesn't need to involve forcing Canadians to fork over their own cash at the threat of fines and jail time to "charitably" house the unhoused).
Hell, in theory, I don't even care if prices come down (although, it will, in practice).
Just that, I don't know if Carney can pull it off, even with that basic ask.

To be fair, getting things done is a pretty strong metric for a lot of things in life.

Actually, what's funny about TERFs is that any post implying "best to mind one's business, and carry on" immediately has them accusing you of blowing a left-wing, pro-trans dog whistle.

Case in point: look at all the people arguing who should be allowed to go to which bathroom.
All of them are dragging in claims that make sense logically in a vacuum (have XY chromosome? Men's bathroom. Everyone else? Women's bathroom), but don't make sense in the real world.

By this definition alone, some of the dumbest people who I ever met are the types who love to "debate", and pride themselves on being "logical".

Canada is utterly incompetent with regards to housing.
What I'd opt for:
- ban improvements taxes; taxes should only be levied against the land not the improvements on them
- ban single-family zonings (sure, single family is allowed, just that municipalities are not allowed to ban higher occupancy)
- ban municipalities and provinces from levying annual rent control (maybe rent increase regulations to make it tolerable for tenants, but that's it)
- reduce the time for landlords to evict delinquent tenants
- Canada must compete with landlords rather than regulating against them; instead of regulating, lead by example! Increase supply (the government can be as selfish as it wants; charge as much rent as it wants, but it needs to remain operationally viable to cover taxes and other costs to unoccupied unit, so in competing with landlords, it may need to drop the rent, but NOT out of charity but out of operational necessity)

"The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth"
More: there's nothing more anti-LGBT than not backing housing starts.
Despite only making up 5% of the overall population of LGBT, 40% of unhoused youths identify as LGBT.

This post was a right-wing dog whistle (albeit, there isn't much of a right wing audience on this platform, unfortunately).

I know someone that proposed that chat interfaces are a terrible metaphor for LLMs.
I want to agree.
Maybe I lack the imagination, but I can't think of anything else.
That friend that I know also proposed that a "journal is a better metaphor".
Honestly, I'm intrigued.
I'd love to explore this one day.

What differentiates chatbots from ChatGPT and Claude?
- ability to have sub thread to explore various possible different responses
- ability to start entirely separate threadsFor the average person (or at least ones I have met), such feature immediately collapses the illusion of talking to something sentient.

RE: https://techhub.social/@manlycoffee/116575326246907562
Let me make this fucking clear: I love all incarnation of AI that we had.
I love well-implemented software that leverages tools and techniques that power said "AI". Think ChatGPT or Claude.
I just despise the AI bros.

Given today's Figma earnings call, I was right.
30 ROI on a month-long long position.
That's $1400 return.
And I have a bunch of calls that I bought, that are very close to at-the-money.
All the AI hype bros have been shorted this stock to a squeeze.

When Pierre Poilievre said that Mark Carney is badly educated on economics, sure, I don't think Poilievre should be the one saying this, but I still held back from hopping on the dogpiling bandwagon of laughing at Poilievre.
To quote Nassim Taleb on this "I don't care if we have 15 PhDs or 500 PhDs", in reference to people criticizing Taleb of unhedged risk moments that lead up to the 2008 recession, many of them claiming "these PhDs disagree with Mr. Taleb".

Canada needs more talented technical people who think from first principles.
My biggest concern is, no matter how much tech use feels liberating, the rollouts are far from it.
Something that will 100% not be liberating: technical rollouts mandating mobile phone use. Tech is supposed to make things more convenient (such as faster database lookups). It shouldn't lock people into forcing them to get a mobile phone that mandates the creation of an account with either Apple or Google.

Human beings have historically been regulating what we put on our ledgers for a very long time.
But suddenly, we start talking about adding regulations for stablecoins, and everyone (on the left) start losing their minds!

(Re-posting, but different, because I just found out today that my server supports quote-boosting.)
I wrote this parable to criticize Canada's immigration situation.
During heightened immigration, whenever I'd raise concerns that we're bringing in too many people without offering the proper support structures, I'd get accused of being a xenophobe.
Fast forward to a housing crisis, and increased youth unemployment rate, now people have unfortunately become jaded against immigrants, even though newcomers do not deserve the hate.
That, and the government has now slammed on the breaks on immigration.
This cut in immigration numbers is bad.

I tried using #mermaidDiagrams to create and edit simple project plans e.g. for proposals. I found the experience mostly frustrating because the feature set had unexpected holes.The ide is great.
