I found a bug --- when I click on a circle with a number, the map correctly zooms in to the area and shows the companies, but when I zoom out, I am unable to load companies outside of that area, e.g. I clicked on SLC and saw the companies there, but I see no companies outside of SLC when I zoom out.

What do you mean by hand code?

I was able to get it running on MLX on my M2 Max machine within a couple minutes using their example: https://github.com/ml-explore/mlx-examples/tree/main/whisper

You can take their name and then reverse engineer the email format, e.g. First Last => flast@getaround.com | first.last@getaround.com

Why do you keep submitting this? It's also not an ask.

I found this on Atlas Obscura before a trip to Barcelona, and I was able to set up a free tour with them via email. I love the contrast of the computer against the shell of the old church, and it immersed me further into my Dan Brown book character LARP.

I've had success with Psychology Today search in the Seattle area --- if a provider is full or has no openings, ask if they know anyone who is not. That has also helped me!

The organic varieties are much more in line with what a consumer expects to find in Whole Foods --- this retailing choice makes sense to me.

> If someone was sufficiently motivated, they could probably dethrone OpenAI in 2 months with enough funding.

I'd argue Google is sufficiently motivated to dethrone OpenAI --- so why haven't they? They have plenty of money to throw at the problem as well.

Unfortunately, this is a design that is pretty common in many of Tempe's major intersections. I pass through a similiar intersection biking home from ASU and have had multiple close calls with human drivers.

Anecdata: The times I have interacted with one of Uber's autonomous vehicles at this intersection, they tend to hit the brakes pretty hard as they are about to enter the turn lane and I am around 10ft behind them. All of my interactions with them, however, have been during the day, and it was unclear if it was the human driver in control.
