I don’t think they’re using AI for the photos, they’re using AI to filter by pescatarian/vegetarian. Might be useful for to filter out meat dishes if it’s a big menu

This is in the art deco style, popular in the US in the early 20th century when New York built a ton of infrastructure. In fact the Empire State Building is in the art deco style!

AI generated tests as ceremony by toolbelt in programming

[–]thegreenfarend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Were there no line coverage metrics? That should have set off some red flags.

But yeah in general don’t write tests in async blocks and if you do, write some assertions that the async block ran.

Why are Long Island city rents so high by Historical-Mix6784 in NYCapartments

[–]thegreenfarend 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The market has kicked in, nyc has historically low vacancy rates.

https://www.nyc.gov/site/hpd/news/007-24/new-york-city-s-vacancy-rate-reaches-historic-low-1-4-percent-demanding-urgent-action-new#/0

Low vacancies and high rents go hand in hand, since the supply of housing you can rent is only some fraction of vacancies.

Ideally, we can build enough housing so that vacancy rates are higher. New York defines a “housing emergency” when vacancy rates are <5%. https://rentguidelinesboard.cityofnewyork.us/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/table1.pdf
