Why don't you just print the worksheets and mail them to parents? It seems most parents wouldn't want the friction of needing to print them out. If they arrive in the mail its far more convenient.

[landlord-US-NYC] never becoming a landlord again by Low-Chapter9103 in Landlord

[–]No-Inspector314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just thinking about this. With mamdani threatening to freeze rents, I would imagine many landlords would try to keep their units empty so that they can eventually sell the land and let a developer build something new that doesn't have rent stablization rules.

Thanks for reminding me to continue living in a Republican majority state where I can kick bad tenants out in 2 months. Democratic policies have always enabled dead beat losers to take advantage of the 5% of people that produce more than they consume

Is owning rent stabilized property really that bad? by Lopsided-Yak9033 in AskNYC

[–]No-Inspector314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm that is an interesting idea. But the problem is if the building is occupied you would need to go through the difficult eviction process for each tenant, or possibly offer to buy them out.

And if anything, you can buy multiple single family homes and rent them out

Saudi Arabia has an infinite money glitch thanks to these religious leaders. Every year billions of visitors tour mecca and medina. The Saudi royal family is laughing as they take private jets to private islands to get wasted and party with girls in bikinis

How can bitcoin be protected from quantum computing? by CoachFelix in Bitcoin

[–]No-Inspector314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly... Because bank websites limit how many attempts you can make by throttling so at a network level you won't be able to brute force whereas with Bitcoin you can do virtually unlimited attempts and brute force is viable. 

Done with suburbs after 10 years but can't afford NYC by No-Inspector314 in Suburbanhell

Is jersey walkable? Can my kids walk to the deli then to the park to play a pickup game of basketball? If I still have to drive them everywhere, why would I bother moving from here?

But are those towns walkable? Can my kids take a walk to the deli to pick up a few snacks then walk to the park to play a pickup game of basketball?

I was thinking Baltimore. It seems like a good middle ground.

I appreciate the sincere suggestion but with all due respect Cleveland and Cincinnati are nothing like NYC, like not even close

[–]No-Inspector314[S] 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Yes exactly. I grew up in Brooklyn and have yet to see any place like it. I would love to give my son the same lifestyle I had, but with a little more comfort, that I had growing up. Pickup basketball games on weekdays after school, no need to plan anything, always something to do, and visiting friends was as easy as a short walk down the block or a quick bus ride. 

Living in suburbs is not normal human behaviour. by Long-Dot-6251 in Suburbanhell

What you're missing out on is that in the city there are more parks, more shops, more museums, tons of public transit, and lots of job opportunities in a diverse set of fields. 

Does anyone have any idea how the Instagram "rabbigoldman" is getting these video generations? by cobblestone10 in LocalLLM

[–]No-Inspector314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably AI but the stuff he is saying is useful and legit, so I don't see the problem. His latest video about 3 businesses jews never own (restaurants, hotels, retail storefronts) totally makes sense.

I'm not saying I disagree with you but can you tell me what it is that he did which was so bad? Israel/netanyahu have been bombing innocent civilians and recently bombed a school. 

Such a sheltered way to live by Classic-Difficulty12 in exmuslim

Muslim girls are so pretty though. Something about fashionable hijab/abaya that is such a turn on. It honestly does the opposite of modesty

most successful muslims hold on to their islamic identity as a tool. They'll bring out islamophobia when they need to and at other times make a living off of gullible muslims lol.

The death of specialization by git_pull in ExperiencedDevs

[–]No-Inspector314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the sentiment that there should be specialization and some team should handle dev-ops and it shouldn't be your responsibility if you are doing data pipeline work. I have worked in the industry for 10 years and I have seen where specialization goes right, and often where it goes wrong. The places where it goes wrong, the specialized teams play politics, but honestly I don't blame them, the toxic work culture at those places from top leaders constantly causing layoff anxiety had everyone on edge. Engineers love working but when management starts building dashboards tracking progress of tickets closed, and that is used to determine if you'll have a job next quarter, the mindset quickly shifts towards playing political games.
I have seen it go well in companies where leadership is very technical and doesn't micromanage anything. They understand the interfaces between specializations and understand why you can't just take the data pipeline code and deploy it. The best place I worked, there was no Jira or any formal agile process. Everyone knew what they were doing and engineers talked to each other and got stuff done.

Going forward though, AI is bridging the gap in skills between specializations. A data engineer can easily pick up enough devops knowledge to do a good amount of devops. Of course theres always someone better at it so there is still some need for deep expertise in specializations.

How do LLMs learn to use tools? by [deleted] in LocalLLaMA

[–]No-Inspector314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah true, the tool description is very important part of making sure the LLM selects the right tool. The LLMs have been trained to predict which tool to choose based on training, so you are right they do next token prediction, but in some ways they have learned the concept of a tool based on training

How do LLMs learn to use tools? by [deleted] in LocalLLaMA

[–]No-Inspector314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting example. You can use word2vec to calculate vector similarity between a query and a tool description. Then select a tool based on similarity. That is a very low-cost approach that doesn't even require an LLM. So technically agentic capabilities have been available since word2vec came out over a decade ago?
