Canada's home ownership crisis is likely to worsen over the next few years as proposed project sales languish at historically low levels, stalling the funding needed for construction, half a dozen economists and realtors told Reuters.

According to federal housing agency CMHC's Housing Supply Report from last month where it cites an independent study, new condominium sales were down more than half in the first six months of 2024 than in the same period a year ago.

Aled ab Iorwerth, deputy chief economist at CMHC, who co-authored the report said there are many developers who need money to start planned condo projects.

The Supreme Court has rejected an emergency appeal to remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from the presidential ballot in two battleground states.

Miller is facing two counts of intentionally signing false certificates and one count of casting an illegal vote. It is unclear if she will still be allowed to recast her vote before Election Day.

A new report reveals OpenAI's audio transcription tool, Whisper, has recorded consistent "hallucinations", according to multiple studies.

Soft-serve machines get a not-quite-parfait exemption to DMCA circumvention rule.

This is something that irritates me personally because I’ve used those quotes from Elon about service to counter the hesitation of many potential Tesla buyers regarding the maintenance and service of electric vehicles.

Elon’s statement reassured them, but if that was ever really the plan, it certainly isn’t anymore based on the latest results.

Tesla’s gross margins for service and selling replacement parts are surging, and Tesla is proudly saying it in its financial results.

Google is gearing up to unveil its latest AI language model, Gemini 2.0, in December, according to insider sources from The Verge.

Another indication of the plateau thesis: OpenAI has just confirmed that a new model, internally considered as a potential successor to GPT-4, will not be released this year, despite looming competition from Google Gemini 2.0.

Similarly, Anthropic is rumored to have put a previously announced version 3.5 of its flagship Opus model on hold due to a lack of significant progress, instead focusing on an improved version of Sonnet 3.5 that emphasizes agent-based AI.

"There is some chance that HW3 does not achieve the safety level that allows for unsupervised FSD," he added.

Translation: all the times Tesla has vowed that all of its vehicles would soon be capable of fully driving themselves may have been a convenient act of salesmanship that ultimately turned out not to be true.

Yet less than two weeks before Election Day, the Post’s opinion-section staff does not know whether the paper will run an editorial endorsement for president, according to two people at the Post with knowledge. (They asked for anonymity to talk about internal matters at the paper.)

The last time The Post did not make an endorsement for president in the general election was 1988, according to a review of archives. The Post has been endorsing candidates for local office this fall. The New York Times endorsed Harris on Sept. 30.

Bezos's new chief executive and publisher at the Post is Will Lewis, who has conservative bonafides. Lewis held the same role at Rupert Murdoch's Wall Street Journal; served as the editor of the London-based Telegraph, which is closely allied with the Tory party; and was a consultant to Conservative Boris Johnson when Johnson was prime minister. Colleagues have told NPR that Bezos selected Lewis in part for his ability to get along with powerful conservative political figures, including Murdoch.
