Honestly not expecting to see an answer to a question I had for myself and other residential appraisers who want to have our own AVMs to run thru, that we can develop ourselves!
Was at a conference last week where I was trying to figure out where to start with automated value models, and this is perfect.
Zillow, OpenDoor, Redfin, and Realtor.com all pay for API access to the largest Multiple Listing Systems (except for Realtor because they are the ones that are selling the access).
They then use their own “special” algorithms to give their price estimate based on “relevant” factors by what you are describing.
Your real issue is that the agents putting these homes on the market have a financial stake in it selling, and own copyright to all the pictures and descriptions of their listings. So you have more liability if you are scraping their info.
Another issue is who is the target audience for this? Most serious homebuyers are going to use an agent or a trusted partner for a transaction, and are not excited about compounding layers of hurdles to purchase a home

I’m not looking to be hired for any full time position, but rather to be a subject matter expert for those who are doing business in residential appraisal, the residential housing space, or require better understanding of the secondary mortgage market for their startup.
As one of few young people in my profession, there is much potential in making a fairly opaque industry better known, and I’ve seen very few of my older peers interested in sharing the knowledge we hold (which is also why it is so hard to get into this profession).
I work full time in my geographic area, but I am able to set my schedule to my liking, so if I am someone who seems worthwhile to talk with, don’t hesitate to reach out!
-to directly support artists with buying the albums or songs at full price, rather than letting Spotify barely pay artists anything for their music (especially independent ones without industry connections)
-knowing you own your library and that once you’ve purchased media, there is nothing to take it away other than the sands of time taking back its silicate
-one does not need unlimited access to songs they will never hear, especially when natural discoverability on Spotify is so so versus trawling through sites like Bandcamp, Earmilk, RCRDLBL (I know it doesn’t exist anymore), or other places where new artists show their work in a way that Spotify doesn’t provide

You can't post an open source project on this site without half the thread speculating that you're a grifting sociopath. <1% are going to pay for music on here.
I am curious, with the way you are using “<1% are going to pay for music on here”, is that to be read as “no more than 1% are going to pay for music on here” or that “less than 1% are going to pay for music on here”?
Is your point that people aren’t willing to pay for things if they have a choice not to?
Or is it that independent artists should be grateful that people see their work at all and that “most” people will just think they are a grifting sociopath?
Not sure what your issue with my comment is, but I’m interested in what you meant, as I feel I’m missing context that only you have at the moment.
I didn't really have issue with your comment, more a frustrated comment with who might be reading it. Apologies.
The context is people on this site regularly treat open source authors with complete hostility despite what they give us (even going so far as to call them sociopaths). Sometimes this same crowd justifies this rudeness based on protecting open source "purity."
It's not uncommon for them to upvote posts like this that take a shot at Spotify or promote piracy as an easy feel good moral high, even though they themselves treat artists/authors worse. Doesn't take away from the substance of your comment.
Wonder if this will muddy the waters for searching about info for the Gemini protocol..
I have no use for machine learning like this, and definitely not what I thought when I saw the headline. Hope the pivot works well for alphabet, but odd nonetheless.
While not my personal knowledge base yet, my personal use case for Obsidian is probably what gives me the most joy for it: as a Dungeon Master’s Worldbuilding Notes / Interactive DM Screen
Where I have used pen and paper in the past to track everything, Obsidian has supercharged my ability to sit down and flesh out my homebrew world in a way that was hard to do for myself prior. On top of the ease of writing and linking together notes, it also allows me to simultaneously tie in my pre-written lore with the session notes I take, so I don’t forget stuff that happens or that my players are supposed to pick up on.
I’ve also encouraged my players to use it, so that if they are taking notes on the right things, they can piece together stuff or make their own assumptions to inform how they choose to play.
It works for us, I get it’s not for everyone. But versus my old DM Binder in OneNote, it works perfectly for my needs!
On a similar, yet separate note, I’ve found the folder/note structure to be conducive to learning new TTRPG rules and essentially having my personal SRDs for different games (currently chunking my way through the Shadowrun 6e SRD and making my own notes or expansions on it to make it make more sense).
It has a lot there, and not every DM needs everything in here. However, I love this resource as another way to understand all the different things you could do with and without plugins.
I think they were working on an Obsidian plug-in at some point, and got some primitive functionality up, but don’t know what the state of that is currently.
So possible rendering point, though I guess falls under browser engine
Can agree this one is fantastic, and you don’t need to be polyamorous or in a poly relationship to get something out of it. I would recommend it for anyone who wants to be more secure in non-amorous relationships as well, as the stuff in here could easily be applied to those situations.
You could probably find other books on attachment theory, but the application of those ideas in a book that is based on the individual and how to navigate your own attachment issues in the midst of multiple relationships is great.
