Real estate is complicated but physical houses are depreciating assets - this is how rental properties are treated by landlords. Regular maintenance, land value, and market value usually offsets the depreciation.

In my state, homes are assessed using true cash value (TCV) when the property is sold and then the taxable value is adjusted annually. If the property values within a neighborhood decrease (e.g. due to uninsurability) then that would be ref

My #1 feedback would be to expand on the documentation. I really want to know how this is going to benefit me before I start putting in a lot of effort to switch to using it. That means I need to see why it is better than ${EXISTING_TOOL}.

The README would benefit from a comparison to other tools. I’m not (necessarily) motivated to switch tooling because of the language it is written in. I’m motivated to switch tooling if it has better ergonomics, performance, or features.

IMO the most useful features are the summarizations – something I'm not sure the average user even recognizes as "AI". Image/emoji generation isn't really useful but I expect the photo editing capabilities will get

Interesting because I pay for Copilot and Supermaven, although most of my coworkers don't. To be fair, it was twisting their arms to get them to use linters, formatters, and other tools so I think asking them to use AI auto-complete is

I'd like to hear more about this – both your reasoning against LangChain and suggestions for alternatives. My experience with LangChain has been a mixed bag. On the one hand it has been very easy to get up and running quickly. Followin

I really want solar just to power my AC in the summer – any extra production would be bonus. However, the payback period is still too long for me to justify it.

Apple also shows while Canonical tells. The average person doesn't care about an animation of a terminal or a chip with 3d composited "Performant" or "Secure" text. They care about "what can this thing do"

I agree. If I showed that video to anyone I don't work with, they'd have no idea what they were watching.

It doesn’t need to go to SCOTUS, Chevron deference was precedent for the lower courts, SCOUTS can always do whatever it wants. The plain reading of Loper Bright is that the courts should make their own independent interpretation of the stat

Since Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo (2024), the judiciary does not need to defer to federal agencies when the statute is ambiguous. In fact, the judiciary can completely ignore the expertise of the federal agency and substitute their

The FTC has rule making authority but it will certainly be litigated. My expectation is a case will quickly be brought in the Northern District of Texas, they'll rule it unlawful (following Commissioner Holyoak's lead), then it&#x
