   I think they are saying you’d need $1.86 of today’s money spent on housing to be equivalent to $1 spent on housing in 99?

   Totally agree, "open source strategy is not needed any longer" doesn't make any sense for many projects where open source of that particular software or information is the primary purpose. It's not solely an economic eng

   Not a substantive article, but important topic and there are better resources out there. TLDR: big rail projects get overloaded to become job creation programs and satisfy pet political agendas

   FWIW you can get duplo track under enough tension that the tracks no longer have loose give and you can lift it up the entire track without it coming apart. It requires a bit of work to make a track like the one in OP

   I gotta be honest on first viewing the site I was expecting it to be generative AI for animated text treatments (a la After Effects) instead of LLM text modification.

    Agreed you have to be very careful. The worst case I find very often is hallucination of a library for JS that either doesn’t exist or methods that are completely fictional. My initial response of wow that’s a perfect solution turns quickly

    I’m reminded of the difference between being efficient vs effective. So much of the example use cases I see people — including myself — using GPT for are unimportant short-term tasks that necessarily take away head space and time from long-

    Excellent, this solves the #1 problem I've had with LLM development assist -- providing context of the existing application source when making new requests. Delivering the output via a PR is a nice touch. Already created 2 PRs. Still n

    Having worked with WYSIWYG web editors dating back to Frontpage and also Wix the critiques here are similar to all editors — they’re finicky and quirky, slow to load, and hard to do truly custom things that go outside their templates or rig

    Agreed, and it comes to life when you ask anyone guess the most popular electric vehicle. It’s not a tesla, it’s an ebike. The good news is that even without mainstream press e-bikes are significantly outselling electric cars

    I'm not an expert but have served on BRT CAC for Geary. They could have done side running and defer utilities to another agency at a later date, after which point move to center running. Or any other of the plethora of options that did

    No one is behind the wheel. Right now there is no mechanism for a third party such as law enforcement to reliably stop or redirect the vehicle.* Yes, it is possible that an issue could occur and the vehicle will keep driving.* * you could s
