The second part of what you wrote is really the key.
Both real estate and debt aren't real markets, so they just keep doing things to raise the prices to make boomers feel rich and keep vooting, and all that means is future generations are stuck borrowing a career worth of cash (1 million in Toronto, 2.5 million in vancouver for a Single Family Home, but 800,000 canada-wide at the peak around 2020) just to have a place to lay your head at the end of the day.

Simultaneous multithreading, I believe it's the technology on Intel called Hyperthreading and AMD probably calls it something else, where on one physical core multiple logical CPUs are presented to the OS and they can run completely different threads to keep the pipe filled.
Housing is one of those things where I think you shouldn't treat it like a financial investment. Practically it has been, but I think morally it shouldn't be.
Morally speaking, unlike most things it's actually a zero-sum game. If your house goes up in price, then that just increased the cost of living for the next person who buys it (and probably for you too if you intend to live somewhere after you sell it). It also increases rents -- Not because of the fallacious economic reasoning that says prices are a direct function of the cost to produce a thing, but because the landlords who aren't raising prices ultimately get run out of town by the ones who are.

I wish I could find it, but a few years back I was having an argument with some lefties who thought you could just spend debt forever without consequences, and I warned about this exact scenario. Eventually all those shiny government programs will go away and instead we'll be paying all our money to bankers in New York and Beijing.
The Democrats are so scared of the guy that they're destroying their party and the nation to spite him. Projection methinks.
I wonder if he talks to her like she talks to the other people who disagree with him?
I have been saying for a while that chatgpt is a "verisimilitude engine" which has no interest in producing output that is true, only interest in producing output which appears to be true. In some cases, a correct answer is the most true looking answer that it can come up with. On the other hand, often an incorrect answer is the most true looking answer that it can come up with.
A lot of people that claim that it will replace software developers haven't been in the situation where it gives you provably wrong information, so you correct it, so it gives you provably wrong information, so you correct it, so it gives you provably wrong information, so you correct it. I also had a fun situation where I asked it to create a review of Beowulf in the style of beowulf, and it created something that was rhyming which Beowulf does not. I pointed out that Beowulf does not rhyme, and it said that's right Beowulf does not rhyme, so I said create a review of Beowulf in the style of Beowulf that does not run, and it produced a review of beowulf, that rhymed.

It's incredibly frustrating that so many people were screaming from the rooftops about the danger the world's governments are in, but people who want unlimited free stuff were like "Naw, it'll be fiiiine" ignoring many historical precedents of the fall of empires and their conversion into backwaters

A great post from one of the guys who ran one of the freest instances on lemmy for about a year. He talks about the oppressive problems of activitypub.
He honestly makes some really good points. Everywhere you go there's an implicit and sometimes explicit threat: "you better do what we want or we're shutting the world down for you and you'll be all alone".
He makes some good points about those limitations and then talks about @alex and his view that nostr is the path for the future.
I've got nostr on my phone, I run a nostr relay, but the thing for me it isn't comfy like my soapbox/rebased instance. I'm hoping with the recent news that Alex will be doing more work with nostr (though that was such a badly written article it might even just be fake, I dunno) that he'll integrate nostr into soapbox so we'll that its just another part of the fediverse on my comfy instance rather than a whole other app I cant expect to even use from anywhere I'm not an admin user.
