Protip if you're looking to travel to a typically well-toured place (eg Vail, Tahoe, Wine Country, etc.) --

The old school vacation rental companies are still the best game in town. These are often small local businesses with names like "Tahoe Mountain Rentals". They've been doing this for years (decades?), know all the local property owners, have the best inventory, and are usually professionally-run operations that come as close to the actual hotel level of hospitality as possible.

They've had to co-list a lot of their properties on AirBNB recently, but you'll often find better rates just searching for the properties and booking directly from the management companies.
Yes, it's a free country, people are free to unionize.
I’ve just always assumed that big stores were collecting and selling every iota of data they could.

I recall reading about retailers using license plate scanning in their parking lots in the early aughts.
It probably depends on location, but over Western Europe I'd generally say that if you just want a bed hotels are in the same price range as AirBnB while being much more predictable and reliable, and are available on short notice (booking the room at 11pm in the same night you want to sleep there isn't an issue, neither is checking in at 3am). AirBnB shines when you want more than a bed and a table, or when you want something more unique in local style.

Two frightening things before breakfast
Tell HN: The modern web dev toolchain is hilarious
It is very frustrating when I see the ration on how much time I spend coding my app and how much time I spend troubleshooting the toolchain :/

The code is full of ignore eslint here and there. I let prettifier format my code, WTF ??? Now with all the type definitions my function signature is 5 lines long :D

And why do I need TypeScript with a react app after all. The react prop types where an unnecessary bureaucracy already. I like TypeScript in the backend thought, at least until there is an exception and the backtrace shows the transpiled code and I have to reverse engineer it.

I'm not in the mood to figure out how to start a debugging session with VS code. So I'm back with console.log.

Now I think I'm done with my app, I run npm run build, open the browser, nothing works. I guess two days of troubleshooting ahead.

Please list these "many positives moves" made by YouTube, as just a content consumer of the platform I haven't heard anything positive about YouTube in a long time.

People just get around that by creating a multi-option listing and having one of the options be some cheap throwaway item like a dust cover or USB cable. That cheap price shows up in the sort and throws the whole thing off.

It has 4 headlights, two on each side, one above the other. The lamps are identical.

Unless you've replaced them, I doubt that's true. Looking up headlamps on RockAuto shows 35w low beams and 50w high beams, with very different fluting patterns.

So instead I just pointed them all down more, and now I can actually see the road. And, I'm not blinding anybody.

You're blinding anyone who has to misfortune to be looking your way as you crest a hill. It's probably just noise, though, compared to the same experience with modern projector lamps.
I did an AMD APU back in the A8/A10 days and that was the crankiest and most annoying build I did until that point.

It is so appealing to a non-hardcore gamer to get an AMD + graphics integrated chip, and it makes so much sense with all that excess silicon real estate, but the obvious lack of attention in the entire chain of software and hardware and firmware support is unacceptable.

The board (a B550) seemed to have gigantic amounts of support issues from what I can tell, because there were far too many people with similar issues, and they couldn't have been all refurbs. And obviously, a refurb/open box means there are lots of returns.

It was a bad decision on my part, but why is the board accepting an old PCI graphics card but not a "modern" one, even after the most recent BIOS (which is five months old at this point, so it looks like MSI is just abandoning this board from a support perspective, even though the advertised processor support was only enabled in one of the more recent BIOS releases)

I should have built it while I was close to a MicroCenter, but I'm not a person that likes to remount a CPU, so once the CPU is mounted, I'm pretty reticent to swap out a motherboard.

I'll just make it a containers / VM hosting box.

Finally, I just booted up my previous "fastest" box that I upgraded (problematically) to the latest Ubu and wow is it a lot slower than it was. I've had problems with snap update daemons and maybe all the snaps are eating available RAM with all their copies of libraries.

People, serial speed improvement is dead, it is the deadest of the dying "Moore's law" patterns.

The software industry has to start making its code more efficient. We need to loopback and start improving the stacks and execution environments to squeeze more from less. I'll know when we stop putting our heads up our you-know-wheres when OS releases make old machines faster, rather than bogging them down with Javascript Electron monstrosities and memory-is-cheap containers with complete OS's in them to run a web server or web browser.

Linux in particular probably needs to start repackaging libraries into stability-focused libraries. Sweep the libraries for parts that have not changed much in 5-10 years, and start moving those into "mature" libraries, and have "volatile" libraries. But then again the constant churn in GPU compute, vector extensions, etc means that just is not going to stabilize.

We might still be 50 years from where hardware "wringing" is done and the hardware interfaces stabilize for decades rather than years.
It is always difficult to compare different "swiss army knives" with a completely different set of blades, and in the end this type of comparison often becomes something like "my library is better than theirs", which I don't like. This is why I do not have a "comparison table" with "this library does this and that". But I admit the list of features is not directly visible, I'll work on the main README.

> those two things are quite different.

Your grasp of English seems fine, to me.

I think your "quite different" distinction is incorrect. The distinction between lying and attempting to mislead isn't a clear one. There's a gradation from plain lying your face off, through mixing in a few truths with your lies, through lying by omission, through presenting true facts in such a way as to make the reader believe falsehoods.

The tactic most-used by newspapers is lying by omission. Newspapers routinely "spike" stories that aren't aligned with the paper's political agenda. You can search the paper's output, and you won't find a direct lie; but a parallel search for truth will also fail. Truth is to be found in the gaps.
To be fair, on the US site it's an "Early Access" feature that is in no way the default.

On airbnb.com.au, the full cost is the default view, and you can change the pricing to USD very easily in the bottom floating footer.

Show HN: Data driven decisions in OSS [helm-dashboard]
Helm dashboard (https://github.com/komodorio/helm-dashboard) is my first big open-source project, and during the last couple of months, we at Komodor have consistently been working on improving it (We released a GA and got 3K stars in a couple of months), but we were scratching our heads with the future roadmap!

The tricky part of OSS is that it's hard to know what should be developed next; we tried a couple of methods to make this work:
1. Reach directly to the users - but there's no easy way of doing so (we don't store any identifiers of who is using the project)
2. Github issues - not many people are actively opening GitHub issues, so you are left mainly with people reporting severe bugs or issues.
3. Reading about the problem in different places: Hacker news, Reddit, etc. - hard to get concrete insights.

To cope with those problems, we decided to create our first-ever user survey and ask the users and community members what they wanted (added CTA inside the product and GitHub to engage with the users).

Luckily for us, after two weeks, we got 22 answers! It might not sound like a lot, but it gives us a better understanding of where to lead the project, and it's 22 data points that we simply didn't have prior.

To make things even more transparent, we decided to share the results and the process with the community, in hopes of helping other OSS maintainers: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1E-gIa-EV7i3qrfajoIYYOCY1...

If anyone has any feedback on the process (and the next features we should develop!) I'll be really happy to hear it :)
Image resizing is one of those things that most companies seem to build in-house over and over. There are several hosted services, but obviously sending your users photos to a 3rd party is pretty weak. For those of us looking for a middle-ground: I've had great success with imgproxy (https://github.com/imgproxy/imgproxy) which wraps libvips and well is maintained.
It seems like the social credit system is actually quite good. The problem is it isn't page ranked or weighted. Low rated people should count for less and people who low rate everyone should count for less.

Dynamic range in your ratings should matter.

FWIW I use Airbnb and hotels extensively. They fill different needs for me. And sometimes I use the composites: Hilton Residences or whatever. So far mostly good. I generally don't do anything extensive. The most you'll get from me is putting the sheets in the dryer. If you want me to clean the shoe mat and stuff you need to have no cleaning fee.
The last thing conspiracy theorists are willing to blame is capitalism.
Security for front-end engineer job interview
> Doctors, nurses, and others are not being produced at rates necessary for replacement of retirees,

But the reason for that is not that no-one wants to practice these occupations though; it’s all solvable by ‘just’ money of which there is plenty in the US. If it pays enough, people will do it.
They've continued to push their patent pledge. If you want to use "NACS", you've got to turn over all your IP. This was true years ago, its true today.

While they published some schematics on their website for the connector, there's still patents and other proprietary bits to actually communicate and get the charging infrastructure to work. Without that associated IP, the schematics are effectively useless.

This isn't a huge deal for a company like Aptera, they're probably going to use a good bit of Tesla's IP in other situations for their EV and don't have large teams constantly cranking out IP. But companies like Ford, VW, Stallantis, etc., they've got like a combined billion dollars worth of IP they'd be turning over to all their competitors. A big win for Tesla and smaller companies like Aptera, but not necessarily a big win for the legacy companies to essentially write down all that IP value.

If they had just asked for normal kind of licensing, I imagine there probably could have been more support for the connector years ago. But they put it behind the patent pledge to try and eliminate intellectual property rights in the automotive industry assuming it would be a juicy enough carrot for everyone to chase. Turns out, it wasn't.
Unlike law and medicine, software engineering has yet to setup it's own guild that works to maintain its high salaries by gatekeeping entry into the profession with endless hoops to jump through and student loans to laden yourself with. It's relatively meritocratic and in many cases you don't even need a degree at all if you can otherwise prove you can do the work. Sometimes those people are even better than the degree holders who may have just been really good at checking boxes in school rather than learning.

Don't worry though, I think quite a few in the field now are ready and willing to start pulling up the ladder they elevated their lives with.
This is pretty much the end result of capitalism - the atomization of the individual and alienation of workers from one another. All interactions and interpersonal relations are now mediated through our relations to the means of production and the capital markets.

There at least used to be a remaining vestigial substructure to society in things like churches and civic organizations. As we've slowly grown into a society of unbelievers, the churches have splintered into myriad heterodox sects, and we've supplanted much civic engagement with work and internet use, this substructure is failing.

Chapo Trap House touches on this frequently, but their recent episode called Arrival (ep 706) had a pretty poignant example. It was commentary on a series of NY Post and Times articles about the supposed drastic increase in crime, and how people, especially those who live in the burbs, are starkly disconnected from the reality of the world. And specifically because of some of these factors I outlined above.

I have slowly formed a trusted circle of programmers on Discord of various political stripes that are able to keep each other somewhat in check and connected to reality WRT the happenings in the world over the past 7 years or so. It has definitely helped keep me grounded in the past few years of covid and suburbia driven isolation and a drastic increase in media consumption.
>Where do you draw the line.

when it becomes damage versus expected usage would be a good line just like hotels have been doing centuries.

basic cleaning services such as cleaning linens,dishes,furniture,light dusting, basic floor sweeping ,etc.

you destroy the property or require excessive cleaning because you had a party with excessive dirtiness like spilled drinks on walls , linens thrown all over the place and stained, etc. then include an abusive charge.
No, this is an early access thing that they have been rolling out slowly.

>There's over 600 freight railways in the US.

It’s extremely misleading to not factor in market share in this type of analysis.

Sure, there may be 400 airlines, but 10 make up 90% of the market. The notion that the other 390 make a material difference in the labor market for that industry is asinine.
Fine, I'll bite...

1. Password reset

If your password reset allows bypassing MFA you have a state problem.

2. Social Engineering

Yea, that's a people problem. Train your people to be vigilant.

3. Man-in-the-middle Attacks

Are always a problem when you are working with something the other side knows, SMS, TOTP, email codes etc.

4. OAuth Consent phishing

See 2. Also, don't use Google as your Authentication provider. Use Okta / Keycloak / whatever, to make sure you control which applications are allowed to interact with systems based on a user you authenticated.

5. Duplicate-Generator

This goes back to 3. If you are able to intercept anything, you're hosed.

And the TOTP problem with the static seed codes is a well-known problem.

6. SIM-Jacking

So back to SMS and Man-in-the-middle Attacks.

Don't use SMS, use eSIMs, notify your account manager that no overrides are allowed.

But reading this ^ feels like problems on multiple layers. And using a third party authentication system isn't gonna solve the MiTM and SMS problem if you keep on using SMS factors. Even if I use FIDO2 an MiTM attack is gonna get through...
There are models of the teams that are countable when looking at the model externally within ZFC. However, that model thinks it is uncountable. When you say “real numbers” what exactly do you refer to? I know you mean the standard model but other models think they are real numbers too.

How do you know a better understanding of these kinds of philosophical classifications will lead to a better grasp of the connections between mathematics and the “real” world? What is the definition of real world that excluded mathematics?

AirBnB has become a flee market and is cruising on past merits, just like Amazon.

Heh.

Does it really matter, though? Shady business, shady product, shady customers.

Just fine. GPT-Neo-125m can generate ~200 tokens in 10 seconds. Larger models like 1.3b use more memory (~6gb) and take longer (~20-30 seconds), but produces somewhat more coherant answers.

Seriously though, the answer is "better than you think". Go boot up PyTorch and see for yourself!
It’s still a change before it’s done and it’s pretty constrained. Scope changes too big are just completely impossible because of physical constraints, lack of permits, etc.

The requirements changes in construction projects are child’s play compared to the ridiculous stuff in software. “Oh, now that we have this data visualization app finished, please add in support for collaborative visualization exploration with synchronized views and voice chat.”

I think the issue is that the VC funds are sitting on billions of unallocated capital with interests rates at levels not seen in decades. LPs might want their money back for that sweet risk free return but VCs aren't going to return even though they're not investing it either.
YouTube is not under that TLD, though.
We have a generous free tier on stackblitz.com! Self-hosting does require a paid license though (we have to keep the lights on somehow :)
I browse the website in .com.au or .fr to see the final prices, then switch to .com to pay. It’s so dumb but that’s the American culture not necessarily Airbnb
If by “positive moves” you mean infestation of short shallow content to drive addiction, then I disagree.
Does this mean even more censorship or less?
Whats a TLD?
Thanks for the response.

One thing to clarify: It's a 300K x 300K similarity matrix, which means I have 300K embeddings. Each embedding itself only has dimension 512.

In other words, the similarity matrix is the similarity between each embedding & every other embedding in the 300K set of embeddings.

Regardless, I think Dask will be useful here.

But notice that these are all things you could do anyway. Why are we even bothering to impersonate someone else?

If local group "Superb Fun for a Superb Owl" is letting in anybody who wants to join, rather than pretending to be party animal Steve, by using SMS interception to impersonate Steve, why wouldn't a cop named Bill just join the group as Bill ? And if they don't want cops, perhaps because they suspect that "Set fire to the mall" will be considered a crime rather than a fun celebration of NFL Glory, they're not going to wave Steve through, they're going to want to check, and they'll discover that's an impersonator not the real Steve.
I hope they stop trying to push shorts into me feed, I'm that guy who hate shorts/tiktok videos with everything I have, at least give me an option to not see any shorts.

Google's first office was in her parents' garage
Read the article:

Wojcicki has been involved with Google practically since the beginning. The company's founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, set up office in her parents' garage soon after they incorporated Google in 1998. Wojcicki became Google's first marketing manager the following year and played a role in the earliest Google Doodles. In 2006, she encouraged Google to buy YouTube, which launched a year earlier.
I wonder how much of this is just people being bigger jerks now than before. Just anecdotally service workers and small business owners in general seem to complain about a major shift in norms towards customers more often being abusive or even vindictive towards them.
