Not speaking to the wisdom of filing taxes using LLMs, but just FYI (assuming US here) taxes being accepted doesn't mean they were correct. It just means the IRS hasn't found anything major wrong (e.g. SSN used on multiple returns

There's certainly a bit of dramatization/exaggeration here, but the main point is that it doesn't really fix the stated problem while also being a huge change for everyone to adapt to.

I mean, kind of. Series hybrids (where the drivetrain is all electric and fed by a generator) yes, but all the parallel hybrids I've driven are still pretty anemic because you have both a tiny ICE engine and a tiny electric motor. They

The article actually does mention using this technique, though it doesn't explain it, so thanks for the background from someone who isn't familiar with this space!

Yes, one might argue it's a little misleading, but it comes across as significantly more genuine and less scammy than TurboTax. The federal filing is completely free, no matter which forms you have, and you just pay $15 per state. They

In no way does it set a dangerous precedent. Fortifying flour and iodizing salt (both of which could be termed a "medical treatment") were huge successes, with universally positive results and at virtually no cost. Mandating somet

I was under the impression it was more of a distribution problem than a quantity problem? This chart suggests we're building on the order of 1.5 million units of housing per year, which (unless all of those people are occupying a singl

Agreed on all points! Very plausible that 250W is peak; other motors on the market vary whether they state peak or sustained so the waters are a little muddy (e.g. I know that the popular BBS02 "750W" motor can put out over 1kW pe

Also curious what "50%" means in their specs; the top power for the motor is 250W and top speed of 25kph would take ~100W on flat ground, which would throw off your calculations considerably. (Not that I take issue with your calcu

This is an interesting alternative to existing kits where you need to replace a wheel (hub-drive) or do surgery on your bottom bracket (typical mid-drive). It also appears to not need an external charger (the charge port appears to be a uni

It's difficult to explain without spoilers... one of the characters feels significantly more fleshed out and real because of some artistic choices in the voice acting. I am not sure I'd go as far as GP and say that the book is not

NXP also has an automotive line of chips called S32. In addition to only some of that line being 32-bit, it's terribly confusing to have those juxtaposed with STM32... would be nice for one of them to change their naming up a bit

Close, but it's a little bit different than how you describe it. The router is connected between the phone and the other devices in this user's scenario. The default TTL on Linux and Android is 64. If you tether, the packet will g

Chrome actually does have that feature, but maybe it differs a bit from how Firefox implements it. It gives you a "switch to this tab" option in the omnibox if your input matches the title or URL of an open tab.
