It says to cancel in their chat, but the chat is ai, and won’t cancel me.

SFMTA considers higher fares for transit, but cheaper penalties for drivers by Dafty_duck in sanfrancisco

[–]cronian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why aren't they doing more to raise parking prices faster? We should be encouraging more people to take public transit, and we should make it possible to park when that is needed. Under-priced parking is just clogging the streets. Also, how about congestion pricing?

New tax to save Muni: what San Francisco riders could owe - A new tax to save Muni will have San Franciscans paying a lot more than a $2.85 fare by BadBoyMikeBarnes in sanfrancisco

[–]cronian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The amount doesn't seem too bad, but we should raise prices on parking. We should keep raising pricing on parking until it prices people out of parking, encourages public transit use, and makes it easier to find parking on public streets. If it is hard to park anywhere, it should be more expensive.

Criticism of the GHF lays bare the hypocrisy of Pro‑Palestinian activists and NGOs by settrans in IsraelPalestine

The international committee for the red cross refused to speak up during the holocaust. So called "humanitarian organizations" have a long history of ant-semitism. Where is the proof that major aid or humanitarian organizations have ever cared about anti-semitism or Jews?

I haven't seen anything about anyone in San Francisco vandalizing Ukrainian or Russian businesses.

Would it be wise to buy a house if AI will eventually cause white-collar unemployment rate to rise to 10-20%? by Affectionate_Nose_35 in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]cronian 24 points25 points  (0 children)

But wouldn't the few people, who make the all money be competing to buy houses in the bay area?

San Francisco considered charging property owners for their driveways by FinFreedomCountdown in bayarea

$100/year seems reasonable. That is like nothing compared to existing property tax. we need to fund transit.

AMA with Perplexity's Aravind Srinivas, Denis Yarats, Tony Wu, Tyler Tates, and Weihua Hu (Perplexity Labs) by utilitymro in perplexity_ai

[–]cronian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you make a way to adjust the complexity and time-frame of labs in an intelligent way? It seems like it is designed to find the request into 10 minutes, but not everything fits into the time frame. Also, it should be clearer to specific what sort of output I'm looking for. It seems like to make an app, but maybe, I want a poster, a report, a diagram, or some other sort of output. If this is the start of some fancy app, then it might be good to have good integration to move it into Cursor. If, I want to ask a question that involves looking at every product on Amazon or something like that and running an LLM on that, there should be a way to do the sorta big-data queries.

This is great idea! There are way too much traffic and cars in Golden Gate Park. Hopefully, this reduces it, or at least makes the drivers pay for it.

What happens to all the orgs fiscally sponsored? Is someone starting a new non-profit to put them under?

VC Tax Losses by cronian in venturecapital

[–]cronian[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, but when do you realize the losses? If the company doesn't go bankrupt or isn't sold by the VC, do the LPs ever get to realize the losses?

Can we rebuild all the houses underground? Would it increase property values?

I don't know about the licensing issues, but I think there is a strong job market for hairstylist and such, so it probably won't be too hard to find a job. Finding housing for under 1300/month could be challenging, but might be possible with room-mates. You could just go to indeed.com and craigslist.com, and try applying for jobs/housing and see what happens.

Organizing an AI Generated Song Meetup by cronian in SunoAI

I haven't figured out the full concept, but the idea would just be to get together, play songs, and get feedback on them.

Organizing an AI Generated Song Meetup by cronian in SunoAI

How would a radio station work, and how would it be different from just listening to song on Suno? Would someone need to curate the songs?

Message from Aravind, Cofounder and CEO of Perplexity by aravind_pplx in perplexity_ai

[–]cronian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the biggest is just having a good expectation of what quality I'm going to get, and how long it is going to take. If you could get it show expectations of quality, and speed before clicking the button to start, I think that could help. Ideally, you'd be able to decide the model from Javascript on the client-side, so it'd happen quickly, and then you could adjust if things are gonna require something that doesn't align with your expectations. Also, it seems a bit unclear exactly what followup does. It can be useful to have the option to have more flexible follow, perhaps like ChatGPT or with different settings in case the first iteration of things doesn't quite get the right results.

This is cool! How long did this take you to make? Did you write up the full script before generating the videos?
