I really hope that it is important (I am being factitious) to force everyone to switch refrigerants every decade or so, to something that is inevitably more expensive and less reliable. We need to be constantly scrapping and replacing all this otherwise working equipment, because it is bad for the environment.

Attached to: Nvidia CEO Denies OpenAI's $100B Investment from Nvidia is 'Stalled'
What was accomplished with LLM is really cool, I am sure there will be many future applications of this technology, just like there were many new uses for WWW after DOTCOM bubble burst. However, I just don't see anyone investing into AI making any kind of return, considering that most of it will evaporate in the inevitable market correction. This will likely also take down Microsoft that all in on AI and maybe even Google.

Nvidia's plan to invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI to help it train and run its latest artificial-intelligence models has stalled after some inside the chip giant expressed doubts about the deal, people familiar with the matter said.
Is this the end of free money for AI slop?

China has executed 11 members of a notorious mafia family that ran scam centres in Myanmar along its north-eastern border, state media report.
Hundreds of thousands of people have been trafficked to run online scams in Myanmar and elsewhere in South East Asia, according to estimates by the UN. Among them are thousands of Chinese people, and their victims who they swindle billions of dollars from are mainly Chinese too.

I don't have to look it up to know that what you call improving is intensification, or tearing down single lot detached homes that families would want to live in and replacing it is prefabricated Soviet-style rental apartments.

Only if you exclusively build ground-level parking. Multi-story parking garages are effective use of land.

I am a homeowner. It beat the market. I had some extensive repairs that required excavation. It still beat the market.

Around here, detached houses are being knocked down so developers can build a block of condos on the same land and make a ton of money.
This is happening almost everywhere and it is done with encouragement of city planners. It is ideological.

For example:
The Rents of Whiteness: Dismantling Possession and Exclusion in Anti-Racist Urban Planning
Planners confront the rents of Whiteness in many forms, including neighborhood exclusion, environmental injustice, and the occupation of tribal lands. Conceptualizing these situations as racial rent-seeking clarifies how benefits captured by White communities are inexorably linked to harms done in non-White communities. I conclude with recommendations for dismantling these rents.
Planning against planning: Anarchist urbanism as a critical praxis
Taking up the debates between Marxist and anarchist currents within radical geography, this study argues that the value of anarchist urbanism lies less in offering scalable alternatives than in exposing how planning reproduces property relations, expert authority and capitalist spatial logics.

I'm halfway into a 30 year mortgage and looking back I'd rather rent something.
Really? 15 years ago means you purchased in 2010-2011. Rather implies that you would be better off in some aspect. Clearly, it is not from financial point of view, you'd pay more in rent and would have no equity. No roof or furnace costs would come anywhere near eating that equity, you'd have to have something really catastrophic, like foundation getting washed out, for that to happen. So why do you think renting is better?

It's not an accident that low density, single family homes are mostly owned by rich white people.
No, they are owned by rich people. Why are you trying to make it about race?

Canada has no shortage of land. Can you please explain how homeowners could conspire to prevent more housing getting built outside the existing urban boundary? They can't. Only urban planners, that have authority to not issue building permits, could do that. It is really bureaucracy that does that.
