Today's puzzle is a beauty! It was created by Cam Dennis and it fools Simon again and again. You can play it here:

https://app.crackingthecryptic.com/sudoku/74pnqPrLt2

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. In cages, digits must sum to the small clue in the top left corner of the cage. Digits may not repeat along each of the marked diagonals. Cells separated by a "taxicab" distance of 4 may not contain the same digit. A "taxicab" distance from cell A to cell B is the minimum possible distance from cell A to cell B when traversed only through orthogonal cells. In other words if two cells are H horizontal moves and V vertical moves away from each other, their taxicab distance from one another is H+V.
