    Even if 2024, think how much smarter and further ahead of your peers you’d be:

    • you’re now at the head of the class
    • you job hunt, network, save like a pro
    • you’re the most mature person in the room
    • you get to live like a young person again (something I’d pay a lot to do)

    Downsides: never meet my partner and kids, gotta do the whole no-income thing again for a while


  • The intuition is exactly your argument:

    When the machine says yes it’s either because

    (1) the sun went nova (vanishingly small chance) and machine rolled truth (prob 35/36) – the joint probability of this (the product) is near zero

    OR

    (2) sun didn’t go nova (prob of basically one) and machine rolled lie (prob 1/36) – joint prob near 1/36

    Think of joint probability as the total likelihood. It is much more likely we are in scenario 2 because the total likelihood of that event (just under 1/36) is astronomically higher than the alternative (near zero)

    I’m skipping stuff but hopefully my words make clear what they math doesn’t always












  • Ok obligatory fuck late stage capitalism. That said, hot take, this is a perfectly valid move, 700 for location and a box to sleep in is a welcome option for many renters in the city. If there are shared spaces like kitchen baths etc this works.

    If you want your own space, ok, this isn’t for you, but this alleviates a ton of rental demand which could lower rents in aggregate if enough of these are built!

    The alternative is your whole paycheck goes to rent and you retire a week before death, i’d be all for this if I were single.

    Is someone making a profit? Most definitely, but I get a better option to run my career in the city, I’m down. Not only that, I hope this model picks up so more people can have the option.

    My gripe here is the city, removed about no windows when this is a pretty tangible solution to many renter’s problems. Either fix it yourself or get out the way when others are addressing it.

    Edit: lots of group think and virtue signalling here. If these aren’t there you don’t even have the choice, it’s 5k rent or move away from the city. That’s not bootlicking that’s fact. Whining about landlords being greedy isn’t a solution, and this is.
