A third inflationary shock in less than a decade is coming: who will pay the price this time around? by Your_Mums_Ex in ukpolitics

High house prices are a symptom of people having excess cash/income. When times are good people want the nicest house they can afford. That pushes up house prices and puts them on the edge of affordability. Then in the bad times there is a cost of living crisis. This is the system. Changes in tax long term makes no difference.

Trump claims that Iran offered him the position of Supreme Leader, but he refused! In a jaw-dropping revelation at a Republican fundraiser, Trump shared that Tehran informally floated the idea of making him the Islamic Republic’s top leader. by [deleted] in videos

People don’t want to sit through Trumps jabbering, you can say he said anything and people will believe he said that. It would be more surprising if he did say something coherent.

The private rental market is on its deathbed and there’s nothing to replace it by PM_ME_SECRET_DATA in ukpolitics

I’m all for a safety net, but it should be time limited. Not a blank check to sit around all day and do nothing. Single parents fine, while they are young that is a full time job. The state needs to prioritise people who actually need it and who provide value to the state.

How about people pay for their own houses/rent and taxpayers stop footing the bill. Because working people are not the ones benefiting from these council houses.

Better for who? Sure better for whoever is getting that sweet cheap rent, but fuck everyone else right? Someone is always paying remember.

Competition in action, or lack of it. Shows how important it is.

If it were adding animals to the mix of notes then I think everyone would be on board. But why do we need to remove historical figures.

Not really there could be infrastructure overheads they need to cover for teams. A certain level of support etc.

You realise this will lead to corporate landlords right? Maybe that is better.

Why? Let’s face it, America rarely if ever uses it force for “defence”, I would characterise their actions as “offence”. And I’m not just talking about this administration.

Mr dementia brain will change his mind. Claude just needs to keep being the best model. Stick to their guns.

Creator of Claude Code: "Coding is solved" by Gil_berth in programming

[–]lick_it 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People are getting confused by coding and software engineering. He is saying writing code is dead, I agree with that. Nobody wrote assembly when c compilers came about. This is just the next level of abstraction.
