Don't do that. You'll use too few tokens if your script is reusable.

> Conscious verbal thinking is a detriment to thinking

?

TFA literally links to a study contradicting this core claim.


Read the study as what is reported by TFA has nothing to do with the study.

And of course it does not as any serious problem solving is not only hindered by verbalization but by sight as well, closing your eyes will improve your problem solving massively.

They prompt after solving the problem, they don’t mandate verbalization during the process, in the study.

There are studies that show no hinderance with verbalization except longer solve time, but the problems being solved are too simple.


Functions in Haskell have no side effects because nobody runs them.

Very exciting!

Wait till you see what the exchanges make.


Rents are already as high as renters can bear. If a tax is introduced, you'd expect landlord competition to drive down the landlord margins, not increase rents.


And if margins are decreased, then... (what happens to new supply?)


The supply of land is inelastic. Property developers can't get more land by building more houses on it (and as a corollary, the eventual owner also do not get charged more in taxes).


They can make higher density buildings that generate more income and house more people on the same amount of land.


I don't think this is why it won't get passed on. In theory the lowest income could leave the state and higher income renters would come in.

But in reality a land value tax incentivizes higher density housing. A single house and an apartment complex pay the exact same amount of tax, while the apartment building can split it up over many occupants. Land value taxes are a very natural hands off way of encouraging the right use of land, empty lots and car parks become unaffordable in highly desirable areas while apartments become relatively very cheap.

In theory the land value tax could be set so the overall taxation is the same as before, but but the distribution is such that the people with massive blocks of land in highly desirable areas foot most of the bill. This would over time make housing cheaper over time as more housing is built to reduce the tax burden.


> a land value tax incentivizes higher density housing. A single house and an apartment complex pay the exact same amount of tax, while the apartment building can split it up over many occupants.

That would only be true if the LVT replaced the existing property tax structure, which is not what TFA is calling for.


> In theory the lowest income could leave the state and higher income renters would come in.

Why would a land tax make the state more attractive to higher income renters than where they currently live?


youd think that, but you can fit another 10 people into that studio apartment


In what world is a square not a rectangle?

I don't understand how your wife interrogated the AI to be told a square is not a rectangle.

And how can two tutors disagree on this?


> In what world is a square not a rectangle?

In the world of object-oriented programming: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liskov_substitution_principle#...


Real squares and rectangles are immutable. You might as well make a rectangle mutable and turn it into a pentagon.


I read their comment as the teacher (who was correct) and a tutor (who used AI) disagreed, not two tutors.

With the amount of blatantly false information I've seen LLMs spew out in response to my very simple questions, I can very easily imagine one would get this basic information wrong somehow, although I did just Google it (as Gemini, and particularly the on-search-result-page version of it, seem to be the absolute worst of the common models in my experience), and it did get the answer right.


There's an "open only" button?


If you dont fill out openings hours or if you dont even claim your business google maps lists it as open.


Oh I didn't find it, I have to say I don't use google maps very much. I normally use OSMAnd only. But most businesses don't bother updating their opening hours on openstreetmap.
