I've been looking for something like this, however the accuracy makes it useless. Has anyone tried the new gpt4 to help with pronunciation? What's your recommendation for adding an accent? Speech therapist?

Housing costs have sky rocketed and vacancy rates for rentals are often under 1%. A 1 bedroom apartment often costs more than minimum wage earns. How is this not a failure of housing policy? The home owning majority have voted for restricte

The incentives are hilariously broken. 60-70% of the population owns homes and want to restrict new construction, while the federal government wants to solve economic problems with 2.5% immigration.

In Ontario the median hourly wage is $27 cad. It's not some huge difference. Probably on the level of other university graduates. For comparison US GDP per capita is 71k usd and San Francisco salaries are 172k usd. That's a big di

You are right. There's no good way to efficiently measure that - even just excluding people with a history of criminal fraud is costly. A secretary problem setup would eliminate the worst candidates while removing the traditional polit

Even simple things are hard to do in developed countries. Building a house now requires experts. From what I've seen developing countries don't have that luxury and they accept everything might kill you. Though driving a car is mu
