If the goal is to reduce the number of vacant homes, then why not create a tax on those specifically. Corporate owned homes and vacant homes are not the same thing at all.

I think it's worth pointing out that congestion pricing is a policy that already exists in several cities around the world including New York City.

I think big box stores are popular largely because it would be inconvenient to drive between many smaller shops just to find the same variety of goods. It’s the same dynamic we see with car-dependent shopping malls, where the main advantage is being able to park once and visit multiple stores. If instead you had to re-park at each individual store, the experience would be far less convenient.

But if a town is designed to be fully walkable so that people can easily walk from store to store (similar to the experience of shopping inside a indoor mall), then I think the appeal of large one-stop-shop stores is greatly reduced.

I tried this one with ChatGPT o1 and it seemed to get it right

> The surgeon is the boy’s biological father. While the woman injured in the accident is the boy’s biological mother, the surgeon is his father, who realizes he cannot operate on his own son.

It's interesting that they consider the presence of ads and the presence of Yandex ads as separate factors. I wonder if this implies a priority for pages with Yandex ads.

I found that they worked for me in Chrome, but not in Safari

Here is a Python library that basically does that: https://gpt-index.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/readers...

OpenAI already taught GPT-3 to perform web searches and look for answers in the results, so I'm pretty sure that using a calculator would be very doable.

It is true that about 10% of large cap mutual funds beat the S&P 500 over a 10 year period (see the latest SPIVA study). At 20 years it goes down to about 5% that will beat the S&P 500.

I believe the Tor feature of Brave is an optional setting, so I assume only a small fraction of their MAU use it.

I think everyone has been able to tell convincing lies for quite some time before language models even existed.

If you use one of those smaller paid email providers you can still interact with people who use Gmail. If you tried to create a small Instagram competitor it's unlikely that Facebook would ever agree to federate with you.

I would argue ransomware is improving U.S. security by providing a direct financial incentive for institutions to improve their cybersecurity.

I think the pricing is alright. If for $7.99/mo someone can effectively solve their procrastination problem that seems totally worth it. Comparing it to the pricing on something like OmniFocus which is $9.99/mo, seems like there is a market of people willing to pay for this type of software.

The way I see it is that the main difference between FANG and TikTok is that the FANG companies do not have any incentive to sow distrust and division in the United States through highly targeted propaganda, however, TikTok being effectively controlled by the CCP does.

I know that Charles Schwab has some sort of OAuth flow which I used when connecting my account to TurboTax this year.

> allows you to ungroup windows of the same application in the dock

I believe that feature was also recently removed in Windows 11

There is an app called Session which I think uses the Signal protocol under the hood. It doesn't depend on phone numbers at all.

Yes, I would imagine so

I saw ads for DuckDuckGo at the airport the other day too

When I search for "python random" on Google, I get: https://docs.python.org/3/library/random.html as the first result, which is what I would expect.

I believe that the new Surface Laptop Studio has a haptic touchpad.

Hi, my name is Kyle, I'm currently studying CS and Math at UMass Amherst, graduating summer 2022. I previously sold one of my side projects for $50k which was a search API written in Flask, Django, and Elasticsearch, hosted on AWS. Looking for backend software engineering positions (it's a plus if your stack is lots of Python, but other languages are fine too).

I am willing to relocate anywhere in the contiguous U.S.

How about Google Maps and Docs

The Venmo website allows you to send and receive money just like the app.

If Instagram and WhatsApp were spun off, I assume Facebook shareholders would also get shares in the new companies.
