Slope at road (which indicates how difficult/costly a driveway will be), no flattish spots, and noise level are total dealbreakers for me.

There is https://maps.dot.gov/BTS/NationalTransportationNoiseMap/ and https://howloud.com/ but I just looked up my house ~2 miles away from an airport and neither provide an accurate read of the noise-level.

For temperature, I use Open-Meteo and only consider the last ten years 'cause, you know, global warming.

Another thing I didn't list was property shape. The point of having multiple acres is to provide isolation and a long narrow property doesn't do that. My 350' wide property is too narrow, but I think 600' is probably good.

Doing that on public land is a risk. The USFS absolutely has restrictions on chemical usage. For example, pressure treated lumber is not allowed.

Gonna have the same "issue" with private lands. Over the 20+ years I owned a tree farm in rural Oregon, numerous of the nearby parcels were clearcut. This has benefits too. One day I was up on my ridge and was surprised to see a mountain I had never seen before because the ridge to the north was just clearcut.

It's weird how people think navigating through undeveloped land is like walking across a parking lot. Brush, branches, thorns, downed trees, uneven ground, etc can make walking through undeveloped land difficult to impossible.

So many of my neighbors never go out side except to get in their car.

That's a good point. What about wetlands? My property has a terrible mosquito problem and I just found out there is a pond/swamp hidden in the brush. Since it's my property, I'll take steps to reduce the mosquito problem next year but if it was public land, that'd probably wouldn't be acceptable.

This is interesting though not really for me. I know that without trails, I won't be walking past the end of my property onto other property. I've probably spent a year of my life building trails on my own property.

When I look for a parcel of land, I'm also interested in proximity to healthcare, groceries, airports (bad!), motor sports, shooting ranges; general steepness of the property particularly at the roadway (too steep makes the property unusable), topography in general (any flat spots to build a house?); availability of power; water features; bikability (checked by looking at Strava's heatmap); average number of days temperature > 85F; average number of days temperature < 30F. There's more but this list is long enough already.

This is interesting. Maybe add a couple examples of generated stories.

This is a complete overreaction from the cops. It's one guy with one camera. How's he tracking anyone? A cop (or any car) drives through a neighborhood and they are captured by far more cameras.

Sure, if it's right there in front of you in the editor. But if have to locate the file and the location within the file, it's easier to just type out what I want and have the LLM do it.

Expect to see more of this as people's writing skills atrophy. I have done this sometimes when the words aren't coming to me. But, yeah, it'd probably best not not bother with the comment if I can't come up with a coherent articulate comment myself.

One reason is older homes need repairs. Furnaces, roofs, windows, etc. What to do when faced with $20k in repairs? Borrow it.

When was that?

This post and the comments so far reminded me of 1984's two minutes of hate. When is Hate Week?

I think point 2 will change once this becomes common. Once there is demand Home Depot etc are the perfect place to sell individual medium sized panels.

Hopefully it won't take 10 years for this to become easy.

Yeah, I too long listened to radio after being a DJ in college. WXRT in Chicago was my go to. It's still running and I just listened to maybe 30 minutes: so many ads! I do enjoy the DJ banter and local references but with all the ads it ain't worth it.

Have you considered supporting other MIDI instruments like e-drums and pad controllers?

How well do these models do producing a proof-of-life video? Asking for a friend.

Define a MVP (minimum viable product) which is the minimum functionality that produces something useful and/or interesting. Implement that. I use Strava et al. myself. I'd say the MVP would include recording and storing and exporting the tracks. Then add your real-time team tracking feature.

I've looked at New a few times and have been disappointed with the quality of submissions.

We can do this today too (but definitely hopefully future LLMs make better architectural decisions). With Claude, I've been working on an application for the last 2 months. I didn't have a great vision of what I wanted when I started but I didn't want that to slow me down. The architecture is terrible - Claude separated some functionality into different classes but did a bad job at it and created a big ball of mud. Now that I finally have my vision locked down and implemented (albeit poorly), it'd be a great time to throw it away and start over. It'd be interesting to see the result and see how long it takes.

> Once you try the models, you realise how good they are, and there is the second incentive. These things write working code and as the models get better and better, the argument that they make mistakes will get quieter and quieter until it fades away, like all high conviction opinions that turn out to be wrong over time do.

Is this true though? Will the models get better and better? I'm not a hater, but Sonnet/Opus generates terrible code albeit mostly functioning code.

It has the university trainer airplanes near me.

This is cool. Now I can look out the cockpit of that plane that's been doing a pattern over my house for an hour.

No. I just told Claude to do it and after a couple of iterations it was working.

I use Claude Code Sonnet and Opus for this and it works pretty well. Not perfect but good enough. At some point, I will have but to go in and tweak layout but like 99% of the functionality and layout is done for me.

I had claude build a backdoor command port in the Godot application I'm working on. Using commands, Claude can interact with the screen, dump the node tree, and take screen shots. It works pretty well. Claude will definitely iterate over layout issues.

I hate to be that guy that points out other projects but YARG has vocals and there are a slew of songs that can be used.

Heh, she's 53 years old! Obviously her followers don't care they're looking at fake photos.
