Maybe the price has upward pressure because the tax increases are capped. Fewer home sellers, less supply of homes, high demand, hence higher prices.

Besides, local government expenses have to be covered somehow. It’s just putting it on new homeowners who are not beneficiaries of the capped property tax from years ago.

Governments should not be dictating prices, they should be influencing supply and demand in order to affect prices. Doing it the “easy” way will simply distort supply and demand and the pain will still have to be felt somewhere.

For example, if the goal is lower property taxes, then the solution is lower local government spending / more efficiencies / more population to spread fixed costs over.
I find it interesting how these big (near?) monopolies are fighting each other through the anti-trust system. Even as it seems the anti-trust system isn't working well on its own.

I really don't know what the answer to all these related questions are (App stores and App store fees and payment systems). But it does seem to me that most of these biggest companies should be tamped down in some way. Not sure I know what the exact right answer is, though.
Generative AI is a good candidate for that.
It can be used for general purposes, but we focus on the data science landscape. However, our main website is built using solara, and we know a few startups using solara for their main product (public-facing, not internal).
And yet Wikipedia has ended up being more accurate than "Encyclopedia Britannica which was curated by experts".

How odd.
Why are other companies not jumping on this opportunity before 10 years?

They do, when they can. But often they can't. A patent covers not just the molecule, but the treatment. Often, they would need to license the original patent even if they have the more advanced molecule, and they can't get the license.

So the cost of educating consumers (marketing) is not offset by the difference in cost of selling the generic and the cost of selling the new patented version?

Patients aren't really equipped to make this decision. It's made by doctors and by insurance companies. They are often reluctant to prescribe/pay for the "almost as good and a lot cheaper" drug, for fear of exposing themselves to risk. Generics manufacturers don't usually have the influence to convince them otherwise.

There's also the regulators. If the drug manufacturer can convince the regulator that the old drug is dangerous, they can simply forbid it.
While I see what you mean, these two phenomena are really two sides of the same coin. If I'd wager a guess, I'd say OP is probably referring to cases such as [0]. Regardless of which mechanism is at play though, the end result is the same, either rising prices through collusion or rising prices through lowered supply. Both also benefit anyone else doing it the other way, so it results in highly lopsided markets.

not crazy with some of the results, e.g., https://www.bulletpapers.ai/paper/1d002187-927d-6775-94e2-a4...

- Bulletpapers title: Using robots to map and digitize construction sites

- Paper title: Multi-agent robotic systems and exploration algorithms: Applications for data collection in construction sites

- Bullets / Key Details:
+ Proposes methodology for multi-robot systems in construction sites
+ Robots use exploration algorithms to navigate autonomously
+ Information from building plans guides exploration
+ Robots digitize environments by 3D scanning as they explore
+ System is robust, efficient, requires minimal human involvement

- Generated Summary: This paper proposes using multiple robots with different capabilities working together to map and digitize construction sites. The robots use exploration algorithms to autonomously navigate and scan the environment. Information from building plans helps guide the exploration. The multi-robot system is robust, efficient, and requires minimal human involvement.

This all reads like the info was gathered from the abstract instead of the paper itself....that said, this is good AI generation info for IEEE explore to implement i guess

There's plenty of 150/200/250 m^2 flats in Italy (Rome and Milan especially), but they are very expensive.

Here's a non comprehensive list of actual apartments above 250m (I didn't filter by flat, but you can see plenty are) and this is only the core center of Rome (what would you call downtown), not the entire city.

"Absolute" means "unquestionable, fundamental, ultimate, no exception", etc. You've linked to a single study which did not test all forms of IF. You can't say you know something absolutely if you haven't even tested for it.

Specifically, there are much longer periods of fasting which may have a different impact on the result which are not tested for here. There is a claim about alternate-day fasting which is actually not supported in the linked study.

In addition, the longer alternate-day fasting practices may include ad libitum which may have a detrimental effect. Lack of adequate protein is presumed by many to be linked to loss of lean muscle, and the quality and form of feeding during feeding windows would therefore be of high importance, but doesn't seem to be accounted for in these studies.

Show HN: Bloo – Automate and Route Inbound Emails to Anywhere
Hello HN community,

I'm excited to show a project I've been working on called Bloo (https://app.trybloo.co): your go-to for efficient inbound email routing.

Bloo is designed to help you automate the routing of your inbound emails to a plethora of platforms, including WhatsApp, personal Gmail, support tools like Intercom and Slack, webhooks for developers and a lot more.

Current Capabilities:
The demo I've built currently showcases the WhatsApp automation with a static domain. It's a straightforward demonstration of how Bloo can streamline your email workflows.

A Note:
The current version is not mobile responsive – my apologies for any inconvenience this might cause.

Looking for Feedback:
I am keen on refining Bloo based on the community’s feedback. I would greatly appreciate any thoughts on:

User experience and the setup process.
Additional features you'd like to see.
Any other platforms you'd wish Bloo to support.

Thank you!

I assume that public recognition is important to diplomacy and therefore left to the state department to decide.
Yet. You don't see ads, yet.

But, what you are doing, is selling your viewing history to marketers, albeit indirectly. For that $20 box, you are giving away everything you watch, when you watch, and very likely anything that goes through that box.

That said, you might be 100% ok w/that for the price and that's ok. But, you should go in eyes open about what these lower-cost pieces of hardware are doing to 'permit' you to pay less than they cost from competitors who may or may not be doing the same thing.
This certainly doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in their new feature set...
Personally i'm of the opinion that if you can point at a game and say "that looks like a XYZ game" where XYZ is some period-specific identification then that itself makes XYZ a visual style.

E.g. "that looks like a PS1 game" or "that looks like a 90s game" or "that looks like a DOS game". And that includes "that looks like a PS3/X360 game" too, even if it is probably too soon for many to accept that :-P
You're literally referring to an era in which anti-Communist propaganda in the US was at its zenith. And where Capitalism was, in this propaganda, written as the natural enemy of Communism.
> does not require elementary knowledge of trig

As math fields go, trig is fairly easy. The part you need to understand for music is a nicely-delimited chunk that you can learn quickly. I find it very rewarding as a way to think about music; you might too.

(I'm not talking about Fourier transforms; just basic trig.)
It should also be noted that during those original studies significant weight loss was observed, which is why doctor's were prescribing tirzepatide off-label.

Nice, I use automerge with Rust via autosurgeon [0] which is their Rust wrapper, but looks like it hasn't been updated recently, any updates on that? I'm guessing with a small team that web support is taking priority right now, as I'm running this on my Rust client (technically Flutter but via the FFI package flutter_rust_bridge [1]) and server (via the Axum web server crate).

In other words I’d look at this as a milestone that opens to new and disrupting ideas

California homeowners pay property tax on the "assessed value", i.e. of the home. This value generally starts at the purchase price and then goes up with the lower of either inflation or 2%. The tax rate is the same for everyone but will be on different values. The rate is 1%, going to the State of California, and usually additional, but lesser, local taxes.

This is the correct answer, full stop. Every other factor is peanuts in comparison. The sheer magnitude of our housing shortage is astonishing: Pre-pandemic, there was something like a ~5 million home deficit. Post-pandemic it grew to ~7 million. This deficit is likely even bigger today.

It's simple supply & demand. We can't reduce demand -- people need shelter. The solution is providing supply. No amount of fiddling with interest rates, corporate real estate investment, or whatever else, will alleviate the housing crisis. (# of houses available) / (# of needy families) << 1. Fix the ratio, or live with the crisis. Everything else is lipstick on a pig.

It feels like the effectiveness and success of Rust could make that happen.

Rust needs more funding, labor, and organization to create an official language standard to prevent it from fragmenting.

I would say that containers are the foundation of the practice of reproducible builds. They don't solve the problem on their own, but containerization is a core element of the best practice of reproducible builds, along with utilization of lockfiles and infrastructure as configuration. It's certainly a hell of a lot easier to get a containerized application to a reproducible state than one run on a local machine with an unknown architecture and OS.
I agree! Thanks for posting the link to Github issue, I was looking for one to also voice my thoughts. We are also one of the companies affected and I just spent the entire day researching alternatives and planning future moves.

For now we'll unblock ourselves with the modified binaries workaround, but who knows when we'll get blocked without any warning again? Unfortunately migrating to something else will not be easy for us (over 1.2k complex test cases written in 200+ spec files). In the meantime we'll probably have to limit number of tests runs and migrate to Cypress.io before we do any moves towards Playwright.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on Playwright. I constantly hear amazing things about it and there are issues with Cypress that really frustrate me (ekhem Cypress.Chainable...). Have you encountered any significant flake with Playwright? How easy it is to debug and solve?

Thanks!
How would you propose using generative AI to detect ETI, exactly?
Whoops, that scrolling header must've covered it up on my end. Disregard!
You're obtusely ignoring the commenter's point, and I suspect you know it.

You've got the mechanics a bit wrong, but the point is that your property tax, in real dollars, goes down YoY, as it cannot do anything but that due to Prop 13. In particular, it cannot even track the real dollar (let alone increase).

This is a well-known issue and underlying cause of a number of CA's political problems, biggest of which being the housing crisis. It's further well-reported how two identical homes, in the same neighborhood, can have vastly different property tax rates, with one paying very little, and one paying a lot, because the latter is owned by someone younger such as a millennial. These are the simple mechanics of Prop 13.

I'm glad you were able to raise your kids, but my generation is being screwed out of that, as we cannot break into the housing market, cannot get affordable healthcare, and cannot get meaningful real wage growth. My affordability limit as a SWE is something like $4k/mo, and homes in my market are ~$6k/mo. Either I do like the OP suggests — pay way above affordable and take on the huge risks that come with that — or I continue to rent and cannot get into a starter home from which I might start a family.
Or... don't get a job through a platform that requires a photo.

Code reviews seem to be the norm now. I'm struggling to see how that aligns with everybody not giving a fuck about code quality.

Maybe it was true. 40 years ago, we noticed code gets read many more times than it is written. It took us a long while to do something about it, but now insisting programmers produce readable code is easy to read where the industry is at.

It's not just "the industry" either. Try submitting a bad piece of code to the Linux kernel and see how many fucks they give you. It's the same for an open source project that does code reviews.

> Maybe walking out in the middle of the movie is a bad analogy, but, it would certainly be applicable to the streaming world, where half your audience might watch Episode 1 of New Netflix series but stop watching well before Episode 10.

What would be "applicable"?

The streaming world of a TV series would be comparable to a streaming world of games. Here the gaming industry is largely selling products of entertainment to customers who pay explicitly FOR THAT product, yet a significant portion of that audience actually never fully consumes it.

That's how it is different. CREATIVELY different. A team of possibly hundreds of people invest years to create a creative product which only a fraction of their paying audience will ever experience in full.

It's like a non-Spotify world where every Artist produces an Album to be sold on CD, knowing that 50% of the paying audience will never hear more than Track 1-4.

If you have sufficiently good hardware, the 34B code llama model [1] (hint: pick the quantised model you can use based on “Max RAM required”, eg. q5/q6) running on llama.cpp [2], can answer many generic python and flask related questions, but it’s not quite good enough to generate entire code blocks for you like gpt4.

It’s probably as good as you can get at the moment though; and hey, trying it out costs you nothing but the time it takes to download llama.cpp and run “make” and then point it at the q6 model file.

So if it’s no good, you’ve probably wasted nothing more than like 30 min giving it a try.
