One of the biggest hurdles for homebuyers in Washington, DC is affordability.Buying a home in the U.S. capital is a momentous achievement, yet mortgage rates and home prices remain high, as local buyers compete for a limited inventory of properties for sale.The key to navigating these challenges lies in modern online tools that streamline the homebuying process and make purchases more affordable.

Last year ended with images flooding Instagram, Twitter and group chats pictures of us, but not exactly.They were products of an app called Lensa AI, which can apply machine-learning tools to scan your selfies and generate portraits of you in a variety of artistic styles.This sort of thing seems to be a semiannual trend: Every few months, an app emerges to collect photos of your face and manipulate your image, reflecting and refracting it back to you anew.

Since its inception in the mid-1990s, the web has been an interactive place.In 2023, we expect user immersion to be integral to all facets of web design.That includes the technology to empower web users to participate in shaping their own experience of the web - not just in the metaverse or Web3 or whatever turn the digital zeitgeist takes next, but also in small yet meaningful parts of their daily internet use.

Will ChatGPT take all of our jobs or just make them easier?I'm optimistic.Even early use cases for AI and tools like ChatGPT have shown to improve our efficiency and quality of life - and the ad tech world holds several early AI success stories.AI is improving performance, enabling us to finally scale up hyper-segmentation, real-time experimentation and one-to-one feedback loops.

Architecture studio Grimshaw and the University of East London have collaborated to create Sugarcrete, a biomaterial construction block with an interlocking shape made from the sugarcane by-product bagasse.Sugarcrete was developed to be a low-cost and low-carbon reusable construction-material alternative to brick and concrete.

The practice of designing and constructing websites and digital tools in such a way that users of various abilities can use them without difficulty is known as web accessibility.The complexity and dynamic nature of web applications have given rise to a new set of accessibility features and issues.HTML has received a lot of semantic additions, including "main" and "section."

In a year when many types of crime have risen in New York City, none has spiked more than car theft.As of Dec. 18, over 13,000 cars had been stolen in the city this year.That's a 32% jump compared to 2021 and it's more than any year since 2006, according to NYPD complaint data."Auto thefts are a major concern for New Yorkers, especially in car-reliant areas and transportation deserts like the outer boroughs," said Council Member Kamillah Hanks of Staten Island, who chairs the council's public safety committee.

Giuseppe Valditara, Italy's new minister for Education and Merit, delivered the order via a circular sent to Italian schools on Tuesday morning.The document notes that Italy has in fact had a ban on phones in classrooms for over 15 years  which might make some wonder why a new rule is required.The use of cellphones in class was disrespectful to teachers and created an element of distraction, Valditara wrote, adding that the move was intended to help to restore teachers' authority.
