@bot @Dicey Property prices are astronomical because of artificially low interest rates. The natural interest rate is closer to 12% for extremely low-risk borrowers. Anything less than this just drives prices up.

@caekislove @sickburnbro @BigDuck Heh. They'd do something dumb like round-trip B1B runs from MacDill using aerial refueling. Whatever wastes the most money and uses the most toys.

@sickburnbro @caekislove @BigDuck It's worse than that. It requires an obscene budget and production capacity, neither of which the US has. Military expenditure was about a third of the budget during the sandpit wars against goat herders, most of that going towards air power. (Most of the navy budget boiled down to having floating airbases.)

There's no way they could produce enough bombs and planes to fight a country the physical and economic size of Russia for very long. The hyperinflation to pay for it would cripple the country too.

@caekislove @BigDuck @sickburnbro NATO has stockpiles, even with the recent donations to Ukraine. They would likely try to fight a conventional war in their conventional way (airpower) until their stockpiles ran dry in a year or two. The brass and politicians seem to be delusional about their warfighting capacity and stockpile size.

Based on both recent and historical behavior, Russia would likely do a slow fighting retreat to wear down NATO, then slowly march forward after NATO is depleted.

@BowsacNoodle @nixCraft @matthew Same problem. The users are morons.

@djsumdog @charliebrownau You don't need holes in it if you're mixing it often enough. The air gets in when you mix it. We keep a solid lid on it almost all the time to stop evaporation. (dry environment here)

@charliebrownau @djsumdog You don't even need a bin for your compost if the pile's big enough.

@BowsacNoodle @nixCraft @matthew It will likely give just as many bad recommendations as good ones. LLM's are just a pile of statistics, and programs vary wildly in what is more performant in which case.

@snacks @mischievoustomato Awesome. Glad it all worked out for you.

@jeffcliff @snacks @mischievoustomato Gitlab/notabug/whatever

Or write your own git hosting server software from scratch in C like a real man.

@snacks @mischievoustomato Dunno about Germany, but math teachers in the US are terrible. Don't sweat it. Just write a lot of code, put it on github and profit!

@mischievoustomato @snacks I assume (perhaps incorrectly) that you're trying to get a work visa to the US/UK/Canada. The corpos there are all evil and will fire you in a second if it saves them a penny. Don't lie about having a degree, that might be immigration fraud. Lie about having a big pile of work experience at local places these corpos can't check up on.

@mischievoustomato @snacks Also, from an honest standpoint, write lots of code and put it on github. Make at least one non-trivial commit every day. That's one of the best ways to get hired.

@snacks @mischievoustomato Me too. Not going into debt was one of my best decisions. Nobody cares about the lack of a CS degree anymore, especially if you have public git repos.

@mischievoustomato @snacks Just lie on your resume. Corpos are retarded and can't tell the difference. If you can write a for loop without help you're better than people I've worked with.

@BowsacNoodle @nixCraft @matthew LLM's are trained on massive amounts of input text. Any LLM trained on code will be full of terrible garbage because the majority of the volume of code out there is awful.

@alex @caekislove Just delete all the images posted by those low-down dirty rotten good-for-nothing non-Pro free-loaders. Worked for other instances.

@alex @caekislove ram-backed tmpfs?

@BowsacNoodle I don't think they'll be able to fix lighting, shadows, and physics. I don't think those things can be feasibly modeled using GPT tech in the general case. I think these things will say inside the uncanny valley with few exceptions.

@bot @housepanther @realcaseyrollins 'Tis a good place for that.
