NYC surely does generate a lot of wealth, but a lot of vacant luxury NYC condos are just a place to park cash. No particular connection to the city.

They are not changing how property values are assessed for everyone

Seems like disincentivizing people from owning mostly vacant homes should free them up for someone who does intend to live there

No, there is no global change that I'm aware of.

How does a tax on SECOND homes decrease supply? Wouldn't it incentivize sales of mostly vacant properties to someone looking for buy a first home?

Those are two different things: the new tax, and fixing the broken appraisal process.

by eli 4mo ago
The tax is only on non-primary residences - one person owning multiple homes. I don't expect it to have a significant effect on housing supply, but I think it logically could.

Letting people know promptly is also the right thing to do and probably mandated by (at least some) customer contracts. You can't tell just some people; it would leak anyway.

We absolutely are doing that at the state and local level. Vehicle registration fees vary by weight and type of vehicle most places.

The headline is intentionally inflammatory, but that's pretty much what the article says. FWIW, the gas tax also only pays a fraction of the actual cost of maintaining roads.

It's quite expensive to self-host but you have many places to run it. OpenRouter alone lists a dozen different providers for DeepSeek 4 Pro. https://openrouter.ai/deepseek/deepseek-v4-pro/providers . So long

I think that's a common experience but not universal. Just about everyone cares about process and quality when things start falling apart. And at least with current technology, it seems like vibe coding your way into a large project wi

Yes, I believe it's xAI's position that they were technically in compliance at the time. I don't know that a judge would agree. The new EPA rule is more of a clarification; they do not concede that point.

When it works, it feels genuinely miraculous. Working in a common problem space, like gluing together APIs, it generally does well. Doing something novel or even a little complicated, it can really lead you astray.

A much more charitable framing: people who enjoy the process vs people who enjoy the result. (Though, granted, the results are a lot better if you craft it by hand)

They have rate limiting rules but they aren't on by default and are separate from the WAF which is mostly stateless.

The feature seems pretty obviously for Anthropic employees who are using unreleased models internally and do not want to leak any details in public commit messages.

Doesn't seem so crazy if the point is to avoid leaking new features, models, codenames, etc.

IMHO host mismatch is more serious than expired cert and browsers should treat it as such

Outside of their (hard to buy) GLM 4.7 coding plans, it's also extremely expensive.

Troubleshooting "works on my machine" issues most be fun when no two people have exactly the same implementation. Also seems like this will further entrench the top 2 or 3 models. Use something else and your software stack looks d

It depends whether anyone was ever actually going to spend that week doing it the "hard" way. Having Claude do it in a few minutes beats doing nothing. Put another way: I absolutely would have an intern work on a security audit. I

Why would a tool that works need to dissuade skeptics from trying it?

How does my email platform know which messages I want my agent to see and which are too sensitive? I don't see how it's possible to securely give an agent access to your inbox unless it has zero ability to exfiltrate (not sending

You still have to trust your executive assistant. I would never give someone I don't trust the ability to read and write emails for me.

That identifies the company that sent the email not the github account that scraped it
149.
by eli 7mo ago
I'm confused. How do you know what account scraped your email address from github in order to send you an email? Or do you mean going after the accounts of companies that make use of a likely scraped email address? That's not a ba

by eli 7mo ago
How would you know whether the account that did the scraping was banned?
