These are not crimes of poverty. These are crimes of people that literally don't give a f** about anyone but themselves and getting their next fix. Go ride along with your local PD or fire department to see the bulls** for yourself.

"It has become standard to describe A.I. as a tool. I argue that this framing is incorrect. It does not aid in the completion of a task. It completes the task for you. A.I. is a service. You cede control and decisions to an A.I. i

I know some fancy benchmark says "almost no loss", but... subjectively, there is a clear quality loss. You can try for yourself, I can run Mixtral at 5.8bpw and there is an OBVIOUS difference between what I have seen from Groq and

I left an issue to explain this in more detail, but I don't think the problem is chunking. The issue is the prompt. The local LLM space does itself no favors by thinking about and using prompts as an after thought. IME, the prompt shou

Great start! I have a feeling this is going to cascade (no pun intended) in ways we haven't quite wrapped our heads around. What is the underlying technology here? Is this an LLM driven workflow or Image generation driven workflow? I c

Refinancing costs money and resets the clock. Why does no one talk about that? Another poor financial decision that is paraded around like gospel.

Depends... It would depend on the price to service the mortgage. I would do a quick model to see the timeline to "break even" on paying in full verses the total amount of interest paid to service the loan for duration of the term.

We "made" $190k selling a home we bought as a foreclosure in 2009 in 2021. In reality we didn't make jack squat. We paid that much in interest alone over the course of those years. The blood, sweat equity, and money we spent

Agreed! I believe prices will break before rates, the FED has to break something to course correct. They know a loosening cycle would absolutely demolish what is left of the economy. Rates will be higher for longer.

The mortgage itself is a waste of money if you don't pay if off early. I wish people understood this better. There is almost no situation where owning a home makes sense if you don't pay it off before the term and we aren't i

Something is going to break. It will be prices or rates. My guess is prices will fall precipitously and it will happen soon. I further posit that prices will not be "sticky" as they typically are due to the extreme nature of the i
