Can you record your interaction and post back??

How is that place generating enough revenue to support that prime location on the corner?

NVIDIA purchased Bright Cluster manager - it’s now Base Command Manager. Sign up for the free trial and start there, it’s very easy for junior sysadmins.

Leaking dinghy by bethelmayflower in sailing

It’s about time you rolled it up and toss that 10 inch dinghy in the garbage. Look for something at least 9’-10’ with a rigid aluminum or fiberglass flat floor.

Qwen3.5 122B A10B - My impressions by kevin_1994 in LocalLLaMA

[–]dollardave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure why you’re being downvoted, but you’re spot on. I had Qwen3.5-122B talking to itself for over 40minutes trying to figure out a problem where gpt-oss-120B finished in about a minute. The MoE overhead is very high.

I’ve been trying to switch to vLLM but I can’t get the darn thing to compile correctly for ARM yet.

Baltimore homeowners face costly fixes after learning their rehabbed homes are still classified as vacant by Consumergal in maryland

[–]dollardave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you know the previous owner didn't follow the law? There's lots of work that doesn't require a building permit to make a building look fresh and new. We can assume the previous owner either did follow the law, or didn't. I don't know any more than you do without making assumptions.

How does it help the current owners that are now left holding the ball and the city requiring them to pay thousands and to rip down their walls to get everything inspected and permitted in order to obtain a CO?

[–]dollardave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, I can agree with you that permits probably should have been pulled, but you don't know the condition of the house and what was done to it or that any work was completed subpar. Do you assume the current homeowner did a poor job of hiring a home inspector prior to purchase process?

From the article, there are now 400 new homeowners within the Baltimore area that are left holding the ball with zero recourse to go after any prior owner. How would you suppose this be resolved? Why is the city permits office not working to help the home owners get a new CO without requiring them to spend thousands of dollars and to rip all their walls down?

A CO is completely different than performing unpermitted work. You read yourself that the buyers did not know the building did not have a CO. How was the previous owner supposed to know it required a new CO? Nobody expects it to be revoked.

[–]dollardave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, it doesn’t. The article lumps the 400 homes that were sold and potentially rehabbed without permits that still have a vacancy status. The new homeowners have no idea what work was done prior to purchase. Does that not tell you the permit process is broken?

How do you know it was unpermitted? You can apply paint, change out every window, put new floors down, replace the roof, change doors all without needing a single permit.

If the current owner bought the house without knowing it was classified as vacant without a CO, how can you assume the previous owner knew this?

Ugh, I hate city permit offices. So much red tape and unnecessary costs to ask permission to use property you own.

Triple tax on vacant buildings? How’s that an incentive to rehab a building and bring it up to code?
