One of my bigger concerns with AI is its potential to spread misinformation, but does anyone know of folks using the models for detecting it? I'm not into the AI hype but I feel that's one area that has some potential benefit.
Totally. I get bank statements, paychecks and living history ready when I go into apartment hunting mode. I transfer around $4-5K to my checking account to be ready to get a bank check in a 24-hr turnaround period.

Some places I've looked in the past: Crown Heights & Prospect Heights, Flatbush-Ditmars, Prospect-Leffert, Astoria, Sunnyside, Financial District, Ridgewood, Bushwick, "East Williamsburg", LIC, Harlem, Hell's Kitchen, Lower East side (sometimes, though it's also getting some of the most overpriced apartments in the city for what you get).
Pros: Limitless number of things to do, people to meet, communities to be a part of. And Broadway (for me). I also enjoy not needing a car.
Cons: Yes it's expensive. Apartments are a choice between: good location, good size, good price (choose two). More shit seems to be going down in the subway (sometimes the literal kind).
Also, there's a kind of art to apartment hunting in NYC. Once you master it, finding an apartment isn't that bad. I've always gotten a pretty good deal and always had a choice between a few apartments. Staying away from trendier neighborhoods is my first rule (way overpriced.. and this is what most ppl see first before digging deeper). I guess the second rule is know thyself - knowing what annoyances you can tolerate will help you find the types of housing that'll conceivably work for you.
This is what's missing from the reactive-python project IMO.
A huge draw for React is that it _extends_ the JavaScript Syntax. If you still had to compose your React components with a bunch of nested `React.createElement('Component')` calls (instead of `<Component />`) it wouldn't be nearly as useful.
