It would be more accurate to say that rather than knowing anything at all they have a model of the statistical relationship between a series of tokens and subsequent tokens which words are apt to follow other words and because the training set contains many true things the words produced in response to queries often contain true statements and almost always contain statements that LOOK like true statements.

Since it has no inherent model of the world to draw on and only such statistical relationships you should check anything important

Maybe people need to learn that AI hallucinates

Ya you are holding it wrong. If it wants a different basic library version than you have available to you then the solution is never ever to somehow go and get the library this will never ever ever work and will only succeed in breaking your entire system as all the other stuff now doesn't work with the new library.

In my experience on average the incompetent are also kind of stupid. Is your experience different?

Sounds like self inflicted pain. If you absolutely needed the latest why are you simultaneously running debian again?

Two things.

One: You could literally say use Linux Mint in 2010 and in 2025 and be ok. You don't need to know about the totality of the ecosystem in order to use Linux any more than you must understand the totality automotive tech and every car to pick one and drive. If you pick the something different its also probably good enough.

Two: If they really are too stupid at some degree of ineptitude they are just going to need to pay someone smarter their money whether that is Apple, another Windows machine, or even a Linux OEM. Installing your own OS on an infinite range of hardware with a range of support is never going to be so easy someone who is entirely tech illiterate can do it and that is ok.

Mint is Ubuntu with cinnamon minus snap +user friendliness

Install Linux Mint Cinnamon. You don't need to be a coder and there is a discord for any tech support needs

Did you buy a machine that comes with Linux and just turn it on and let it update? Alternatively did you buy something for Windows and act shocked when the wifi card was crap and refuse to buy one that actually works for $20?

Honestly Linux Mint was ready for normal people a decade ago.

Thank you for the link I would like to note that from said link I draw this quote

Since the Treaty of Washington in 1871, when it first de facto recognized the new Dominion of Canada, the United States has never suggested or promoted an annexationist movement in Canada. No serious force has appeared on the American political scene that aimed to persuade or coerce Canadians into joining the United States. And no serious initiative for any move in this direction has come from the Canadian side either.

Trumps trade war with Canada which he said is to force them to submit to annexation is uniquely crazy in modern history.

America doesn't want Canada and Greenland trump does

It will NEVER be so that owning two houses in America doesn't involve being well into the 1% This is just an absurd take that has become true nowhere on planet earth.

Step one make schools mostly dependent on property tax by funding them almost entirely through property tax Step two watch the price of housing skyrocket to the point where half of them are owned by old fuckers Step three make old fuckers fully or partially exempt from this tax Step four wonder why your schools have basically been defunded

Lets imagine a scenario bob the old lives at 65 lives in a 2M home which isn't exactly a castle its just in a really desirable area. Bob is cash poor but house rich. He's going to be taxes out of his home sooner or later without relief. Suppose we provide him that relief.

Shall we let him sell his house and realize his gains. Tax those gains but leave him enough to live wealthy for the next 20 years and collect 20 years of 1% taxes or about 660k with 5% appreciation. We would also collect around 300k of that 2M in capital gains taxes.

All in all we are giving up almost a million dollars in tax revenue which will be collected by taxing people who aren't sitting on a 1.7M pot of gold. We will be taxing lots of folks barely getting by MORE to write a million dollar check to grandpa.

Then when he dies all those capital gains that were in fact real evaporate because the new owner who inherits it gets to start fresh at present value.

To justify your position I want you to imagine going around to a bunch of poor people's apartments and taking stuff out of their house to give to one rich guy. Yes someone who is "house rich" doesn't SEEM rich but assets are fungible and in a good market remarkably liquid.

Most places are around 1% of value with many having caps on increases in value or other differences in taxed and actual value. This means his house is worth 1,000,000 to 1,600,000

If he was really living on 24k he wouldn't be able to pay 12,000 in property tax. He bought when it cost almost nothing and spent most of his life paying neither rent nor mortgage unlike most of us and has a reasonable retirement.

He could at any time sell and live better than you or I even if he didn't have a dime other than the house. Instead he uses his time to whine about his good fortune.

If we view it through the lens of him actually wanting Putin to win and Zelinsky to lose because of personal insult its even easier. He merely needs a pretext to stop support. Zelinsky can pick between a pretence of peace followed by Russia regrouping and crushing them and total capitulation.

Easiest way is to front load so many demands that they never sit down. The important thing isnt even so much Russia winning as much as getting to snub Z.

His actions being that of an ignorant 4 year old rollin on whatever he was told last makes him easier to comprehend

If this was so it wouldn't be half his ss in property taxes. Average ss is 1900 a month

It trivially is in any hot market

Depending on area 40k property tax means a 3-4M house. Poor rich people!

Outside of fantasy no that is just nonsense

Nobody needs a summer and winter home tax the living shit out of rich fuckers with 2
