Saving for a down payment while paying California rent? The math is brutal. Prop 37 helps buyers over that hurdle, tying down-payment assistance to newly built homes — encouraging more construction, too. More homes. More homeowners. Yes on 1 & 37. calmatters.org/politics/202...
Prop. 37 on California's ballot would offer help with down payments

I honestly had no idea that the bay authorities had basically cleared the folks living on houseboats and failed to give all of them even temporary accommodations. Pretty bleak stuff, even for SF. They're harming no-one... Fuck this place needs more homes www.nytimes.com/2026/10/13/u...
These California Boat Dwellers Fear the Worst: Life on Land
For decades, dozens of people lived rent-free on a bay just north of San Francisco. A few holdouts remained as a deadline loomed to leave the water.

🧵 I want to make one point about the federal permitting bill. Before I do, I'd just encourage everyone who's interested in the details to listen to this podcast, which covers them ... extensively. There's a lot of complicated stuff in there & the cartoonish portrayals you see online are misleading.
What’s up with the new federal permitting reform bill?
A conversation with Daniel Palken of Arnold Ventures.

This is a must-listen for the policy nerds
David Roberts@volts.wtf · 2w agoToday on Volts: the new federal permitting bill is 417 pages long. Some people love it, some hate it, some are just confused. With Daniel Palken, I methodically walk through why it's happening, what exactly is in it, & the political rationale for doing it now. This one is epic & fairly technical.
CONCEPTUALIZATION - This is a serious violation of the karaoke code.
Total shot in the dark but I need about 12 hours of an H100 cluster to do a 4000 dimensional embed of a large research database using qwen 8B. If anyone could assist, that would be greatly appreciated.

I sincerely believe the endless arguments about slop, creativity and art miss the trajectory: This will be a Nozickian machine that will engulf some people. I say this descriptively, not normatively.
Adult responsibilities take many forms. For me it's ensuring most of my plant-children do not die while I'm away and, as a stretch-goal, I ensure my oncall shift and planned time of getting blind drunk somewhere in EU are not the same week. Sometimes I fail at this.

urgh... supporting musicians is good and all, but walled gardens... less so bandcamp's lack of progress towards any kind if web-ui experience for playlists, or any attempt to share curation experience is bad enough to make me want to do my own, but even that's hard with their walled garden.
Maybe it's not an entirely fair comparison, but I think it's quite funny that EDM/Dj producer culture is so empty of cultural shibboleths, devoid of much they can relate to with their audience. Metal on the other hand...
ahhh this reminds me of the time the chicago bears tried to reignite the troubles

Official monthly data is in today, and US solar power generation hit a new record high, up 20% compared to this time last year!
Just realized that, as a longtime vegetarian, I've probably been getting a bunch of essential vitamins (b12 I guess?) from energy drinks
I'm slightly saddened that a) there isn't a real part of the world where one can hike in nature and solve whimsical tasks, but b) real world hiking is now a nightmarish reenactment of Tremors but with ticks (according to every op-ed writer in the USA)
