California is widely regarded as one of the most complex real estate environments in the United States.

Show HN: EloLup – guess reactions to short videos instead of scrolling them

For each video, you guess how others react by dropping a point on a 2D pad: Y represents resonance with the content, X represents certainty in that resonance.The closer your guess is to the crowd’s evolving consensus (which is itself based on others’ guesses), the higher your score.

It's a permanent feature of the "black box" architecture that even its creators don't fully grasp.We’ve been blinded by the fluency of these models, but it’s a trap. We are firing human experts and replacing them with a tool that lies with total confidence. In my field, if you trust AI without 100% human verification, you aren't just being
