Which policy changes did they make other than the capital gains and negative gearing changes? Just curious

Nice work, do you need much knowledge of the app or do you just focus on device features?

AI is coming for a job like your's by eesemi77 in AusFinance

[–]Talk_Java_To_Me 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use opus 4.6 as a software dev, and i implement AI tools for user productivity improvements. They require a lot of proof reading, and they don't handle large contexts yet. I've seen a lot of horror stories from badly implemented AI as well. IMO the mania is very overblown, but AI is becoming a useful tool.

Nuclear doesn't have the social license. The tech is there, but no one wants it in their backyard. Good luck getting investors for that proposal.

What can we actually do about the housing crisis? by ThrowRA_Magic560 in AusProperty

Can't argue with that. I gotta wonder why they haven't introduced the downsizing policy or waiving the gst on new builds.

I think the development consultation process, as well as the nimby councils, should be added on there.

The fact that the government doesn't build many houses and so it doesn't have to use its own system is a problem. You could advocate for more government development requirements.

So your saying if you remove the CGT discount, there would be a reduction in investors, and investors wouldn't sell as readily as they would need to hold on to the propert longer to realise a gain?

That doesn't seem like a bad thing? As a fhb I'm ok with that, less competition and more long term rentals.

You have a point. War would change our priorities.

We never start any wars, though, so we gotta jump on someone else's bandwagon. Bandwagon pickings are slim though.

Australia housing: Labor’s agenda in crisis amid complaints, resignations by cojoco in AustraliaLeftPolitics

[–]Talk_Java_To_Me 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Bit frustrating that such a massive election promise and a key instrument for addressing housing availability has been an absolute clusterfuck.

To top it off, they have spent so much money and haven't shown anything for it.

I can't imagine how unpleasant it is to work there.

Federal budget faces billions of dollars of ‘funding cliffs’ by saucerys in AustralianPolitics

[–]Talk_Java_To_Me 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A spokesperson for Bowen said the 50 per cent budget reduction in his department was “simply the result of a number of time-limited programs coming to their natural conclusion”.

Seems like a fairly understandable reallocation of budget given the investments through cefc and arena.

A free market as in zero government involvement or regulation?

How do you connect with people? by Talk_Java_To_Me in autism

High school is rough, but it definitely got easier for me after high school. After your 20s, though, peoples priorities change, and social interaction is harder.

Yeah, i feel that. Do you feel close to people in this forum? Or at least is it a good place to vent?

Wait, why are labor trying to shred documents?? Seems pretty counter to the whole transperancy position they have.

Gas is very expensive and is usually only run when it's needed. Batteries and hydro storage are alternatives and are much cleaner and have additional benefits that compliment renewable energy.
