I was about to say what cantilever? Then I noticed that the thing is hanging off that little bump-out.

Interesting...

Absolutely not. The length of the joist cantilever should not exceed 1/3 of the total joist length.

Got pics of the attachment area?

Actually, you can tie into a cantilever if the floor/cantilever was built with this in mind. It does take a lot of extra engineering and framing but it can be done. It is however, not the most cost effective way to build that deck.

I thought I stated NOT allowed, which would require a free standing deck.

A free standing deck would (usually) still be attached to, just not supported by, the cantilever.

I know, I know... semantics!

Here is how to frame around it, but it could only be 6' wide.
