Though I respect the sentiment of his concerns, it is indeed a pipe dream. What do we expect the five eyes are doing? Certainly not sacrificing intelligence to bolster iPhone security, any day of the week.

It appears the large majority agrees that the *arr stack is fantastic and fundamental context to any vibe coded solution for similar services. I can also confirm resource contention or maintainability is not the issue for me with these.

> Anyone holding a 401k, IRA, or pension can purchase single family homes and apartments inside the account, and pay zero capital gains tax and zero rental income tax.

I am not sure on pensions, but this is not true for a 401k. Only an IRA can be used without paying capital gains taxes for a home purchase. Including first time home buyers. Speaking from experience, I learned the hard way the benefit you are describing applies only to an IRA.

How so? I am curious what cheating you are experiencing and how you detect it.

kappar··on AI's Affordability Crisis
Second this, I am also running qwen 3.6 35b Q8 on a 5090 liquid getting around 250 tokens / second and it is plenty capable. I actually haven't even looked at models recently because I am happy with what I have.

And.. now I feel the need to look again. Darn, there goes my afternoon
