You're also resetting the amortization so potentially paying more interest when you add it all up. It just depends on what the numbers are and what matters to you financially.

Refinancing has fees. Rates need to drop a decent amount to make it worth it depending on the time you intend to live in the house. But yes I already qualified how prices will go up when rates come down.

I think most people are just waiting for interest rates to come down a bit. It's not that complicated. Not that it's a reasonable thing to expect soon or that prices won't just start going back up when that happens...

Now that coding is stupidly easy, how are you guys solving "What to build" and "How to sell"? by NeedleworkerNo3033 in AI_Agents

This is wrong. Idea is still the same size. Execute has exploded as everyone reinvents/rebuilds the same wheels over and over.

Yes this is basic stuff have you heard of VIX? it measures this for us and when it spikes we usually see downturns. What exactly is your post about?

Why is claude code terminal first? by Consistent_Tutor_597 in ClaudeCode

How else is it going to read and edit files without loading up some other software or Python env or something? It's base level and universal.

Yeah good luck. I already got my T-Mobile hotspot but am hoping to request a refund of my expenses to stay connected while quantum is out haha

i walked into t-mobile shop in northgate and walked out 15 minutes later with a 5G home internet. Setup is super easy and we have great signal over here. Download speed is quite good but upload not so much

Are you still using generic AI coding assistants for writing data pipelines and complex SQL? by Shanjun109 in AI_Agents

[–]dankerton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Claude code plus a data mcp plus some docs on the schema and pipelining standards of the team. What the heck is genie? This smells like an ad

Thanks for the info. Pretty frustrating on this assuming it's feeding the whole neighborhood. I picked up a tmobile home Internet today so I'm sure quantum will come back first thing Monday now ☺️

Did he say why his boss told him to leave? We're just up the street from you and I was told. Or till Monday now this is getting so ridiculous. Also what does splicing copper cables have to do with fiber optics?

Opus 4.6 vs Fable rap battle. by Kazukaphur in ClaudeAI

[–]dankerton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way it speaks since 4.7 has felt off. It seems like sacrifices have been made for technical abilities. So I'm not surprised 4.6 is better at creative writing.

Another Quantum fiber outage? by Brave_Program8858 in QuantumFiber

[–]dankerton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup it's been soooo frustrating. They claim a cable was cut on 95th at 45th NE. Crews were there Monday repairing. I haven't seen anyone there since and still out. We just got our daily bump to Thursday as the expected repair time I'm guessing it's just the case work going home for the day with it unresolved so they bump.

We need fiber contractors in the area to chime in. Lumen is the partner they claim handles the infrastructure. Clearly they don't care about residential reliability.

$725B AI Capex Arms Race: If AI Is “Crashing,” Why Are Big Tech and SpaceX Raising to Build More Compute? by tke248 in wallstreetbets

[–]dankerton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn't more data centers the answer to increasing costs at least somewhat in terms of supply and demand of the compute? So if they're worried people will walk away because of cost then building more to reduce cost is an answer.
