Interesting idea, I would argue the opposite on the basis that easier, more frequent transactions in a market improves price discovery and keeps the housing price closer to the "true" price based on supply and demand.

Its a conceit but not unjustified, they have been doing "AI" since their inception. And yeah, Sundar's term up until recently seems to me to be milking existing products instead of creating new ones, so it is a bit annoying w

Agree its a bit of a miss, but most of the battle with an LLM is pulling in the right context, so I'd imagine they could include resharper's output in the context in a future iteration. Seems like something they could iterate on.

I have noticed that in my remote-first organization, we've started being much more explicit in all of our communication, written _and_ verbal. This does add a lot of overhead to each of our conversations and I sometimes get impatient,

That aligns with my (admittedly anecdotal) views as well. I wonder if thats part of why so many managers and leaders feel lost without in-office culture. Most organizations are not good at that kind of explicit communication and organizatio

Slightly off-topic, but I've been learning a bit of Japanese in preparation for a trip to Tokyo, and I'm seeing the differences in how they treat written language vs. English speakers. Japanese has three alphabets: Hiragana (&quot

I think if you're asking those questions then you're ahead of where 99% of people are thinking about when they think about "AI" (as are most of the folks on this site by selection bias). I think as these tools mature and

Lotus exists in generally the same sphere as STS9, Big Gigantic, GriZ, which are all kind of the "electronic" side of the festival jam band scene. The "organic" side of that is generally made up of bluegrass and classica

I don't think anyone would care enough to sue or otherwise make a ruckus, so they'd probably get away with it.

I too found it a bit cumbersome past a certain code size. A lot of games don't necessarily need a lot of raw or complex code to run though, so the 1st class benefits of GDScript start to shine, like the native debugger, autocomplete, G

It builds to cross-platform pretty easily so that is a big bonus. Godot supports C# as well and its own scripting language but not much else. You won't be able to take advantage of native UI elements, but I don't think people care

This was confusing to me too at face value. Based on the article this is what sounds like happened: 1. Penn acquires Barstool (the whole business) for $550M 2. Penn decides ESPN Bet is a better brand for what they just bought 3. Portnoy wan

I don't think you need to get a tutor from a remote country. I would just enroll them in an after-school math program like Kumon. But yes, enhancing the education after school in general is likely what motivated parents with means woul

This doesn't really make sense to me as a ransom target. If it was a business that is losing $$$ per minute of downtime then a DDoS for ransom would make more sense, but a volunteer-run hobby site? If I were them I'd be happy to t

The main societal issue is that we've conflated a public health issue with a criminal one, and created a system of perverse incentives and propaganda that ensures that it remains a criminal one. When a drug user is labeled a "crim

Looks like you know more about it than me, but it seems to me that the main challenge is being able to include the appropriate context, and train it to output a diff which you can then apply to the codebase. Definitely looking forward to th

That is such a reductionist view on children's books. Children's books serve many other purposes: - Learning language structure and storytelling organization, as you say. - Learning about the world around them. Even fictional book

This is a big part of why I don't use social media beyond HN and Reddit (if those count). Being inundated with a constant stream of notifications is not only distracting, it makes me feel less in control of my mind, and therefore, my l

For miles, pounds, and ounces, I have no defense, but I will say that having a base 12 length measuring system (in/ft/yd) is much nicer for carpentry than base 10 (m/cm), since it can be divided evenly by 2 and 3. It's t
