Students stay in dorms "for the experience". I don't think any middle aged person is looking for any communal living type experience. Also, what do you mean by "short term"? Usually it only makes economic sense to b

Who owns them probably has an effect on whether new housing will be built. A city of mostly renters will vote to have rent controls. Your property taxes are a percentage of the assessed value of your house, usually 1-2%. If your houses valu

I always wondered if there is still an ROI for writing a well researched in depth article. If the insight in the article is actually unique, it'll just get regurgitated by other writers and AIs a hundred times, maybe even with better v

Scrimba is really cool. When I first got into programming, a few years ago, I tried to build something similar using rrweb but with server side code execution in docker containers so that it could support all the programming languages like

I don't think killing is a natural act. Most people throughout history died from disease, not war. In the past, if you killed someone, like in a battle, there is a good chance you're going to die in the next battle of the military

How would you rig whatever is in the stable diffusion generated image automatically? You'd have to find a way to identify the objects in the image, segment them into their individual limbs/pieces and rig and animate them. Maybe Me

It seems the first few batches of YC were VERY successful. But, the number of successful YC companies I can think of from the last 10 years of batches is very minimal despite them investing in thousands of companies. Makes you wonder, does

Many years back, I wanted to learn Arabic, but, the problem is, there isn't one "Arabic". It seems you have to decide, do you want to learn Moroccan Arabic, Egyptian Arabic, Levantine Arabic, Iraqi Arabic, Quranic Arabic, Mod

There's a huge price difference between o3-mini and o1 ($4.40 vs $60 per million output tokens), what trade-offs in performance would justify such a large price gap? Are there specific use cases where o1's higher cost is justified

I don't think this is so much a "shift in culture" more than a generation getting older. Most Millennials are in their 30s now. I shouldn't be speaking for you guys because I'm genZ... but it's probably to do w
