I lived in Aribnb's for roughly a year and a half. They actually did a profile on our family on the Today Show on NBC about it.

I think the thing I hated about it the most was the system of hosts rating the guests. It was always stressful especially when our ability to simply secure our next place to live was dependent on, to some degree, a hosts subjective evaluation of how they felt the stay went. For instance I have a toddler, at one location my toddler played with some toys that were in the house. We put them back where they were but they were incorrectly arranged (not damaged just put back not the way they wanted) and the host left us a negative review. We disputed it and airbnb sided us, but the whole feeling of constant judgement makes it difficult to relax in a space. I wish they had some better / more objective system as you never know when you'll encounter an unreasonable person. To me this is the single biggest negative. A sort of cloud of social credit hanging over your head.

At this point I would never use Airbnb except for long term (30 days+) type of travel. Between the extremely intense chores you're basically given plus huge cleaning fees hotels are superior in nearly every way for short term trips. The significant % reduction for staying a month too makes it a lot more palatable. I think Airbnb sees this too which is why they're leaning so heavily into the digital nomad / long term travel user segment. It's a place they can genuinely win vs a hotel. For short term stays not dealing with unreasonable hosts, not getting surprise fees, and there not being a bunch of chores makes things significantly more enjoyable. As noted on social platforms by others getting hit with a massive cleaning fee and also then being expected to do chores also feels like a slap in the face.

Redis command docs are excellent and you can try the commands on the site itself!

Also love that they include the availability by version and the time complexity and tag the commands such as @slow for potentially slow commands, etc.
I don’t think that parses with the current architecture of GPT. There is no “knowledge database”, just parameter weights.

See the Toolformer paper for an extension of the system to call external APIs, or the LaMDA paper for another approach to fact checking (they have a second layer atop the language model that spots “fact type” utterances, makes queries to verify them, and replaces utterances if they need to be corrected).

It’s plausible that Bing is adding a separate LaMDA style fact check layer, but retraining the whole model seems less likely? (Expensive to do continually). Not an expert though.
Well I don't know the frequency, but it is easily noticeable to me on most modern cars when moving my eyes. It's definitely not a question of aftermarket modules.

The PWM I use at home on an ESP32 is supposed to be in the 1-10 kHz range and I don't see flicker when moving my eyes.
This article is insight free. It’s essentially saying that being responsible and caring is for suckers. Of course that is true. So what? I am a sucker because I want to do good work instead of sticking it to my clients and users. Yep.

Testing is about learning what your wishful and arrogant ambitions have produced. Of course you can shrug and say you’d rather gamble and get rich before your users and investors find out that your product has terrible performance or security or functionality problems. This is not news.

I can make more money by mistreating my wife and family, and cheating on my taxes, too. I don’t do this because I have self-respect, and the respect of others matters to me.

Companies never test more than they think they need to. There is no pandemic of over-testing. This article is a waste of good disk space.

What do you call the other side of this? A startup funded massively by VC's, but can't actually turn a profit and is only sustained by the continuous funding pumped into it? A "zombie startup"?

- No, Geogram was not developed for AliceVision. AliceVision uses geogram, but is completely independent.

- Geogram is used in several projects and libraries, see the list here: https://github.com/BrunoLevy/geogram/wiki/Publications

Bugs and backdoors are indistinguishable. No software is bug-free. App stores make repeatable builds hard to achieve. Another vector to introduce changes. Might just be convenient target to attack via other means (e.g. rogue android update targeted for this special app).

I'm just a bit paranoid recently, I don't have any proofs or something like that. I, personally, would use Signal today as off-the-shelf easy-to-use solution. But for something that's absolutely must not be disclosed I'd use age (write message in text file, encrypt it via age, send base64. Supports symmetric and asymmetric encryption, schemes are simple enough, software is popular enough and super-focused.
> Did they roll their own?

For example, in the US, Francis Energy quickchargers require a Francis Energy RFID card or use of their app.

Some gas station pump terminals will allow you to pump your debit card’s available balance and no more. No charger I have come across can do this, billing some arbitrary amount like $40 that is eventually replaced with the correct expense, if not outright requiring credit. Forget paying with cash, even for quick chargers located at gas stations.
Sure, the wealthy would have means to pay for cures, life-extension, organ-regeneration while the poor would not. Imagine the dystopia that creates.

Let's say there was a 100% effective treatment for cancer/MLS but cost $20,000 per month. We'd all be "willing to pay" for that for a loved one but "willing" isn't "able." That's the problem with US-style for-profit healthcare. Economics breaks down because there's no ceiling to what the "consumer" is willing to pay, only a profit-based decision by companies of how many people it wants to divide into people deserving of health and those not.

Seriously, as a society, if we don't grapple with economic ethics of "miracle cures", corporate greed plus technological advances will lead to endless class wars over who's grandma/child gets to live or who's withers and dies unnecessarily.
"You need a minimum 3 phase 480v electrical source to charge even a small battery in under an hour. We are talking 150-200Kw?"

The Tesla 3 Long Range AWD has a 76 kWh battery with a range of 358 miles (576 km). The average European car drives 18,000 km/year, or 72 km/day or 10 kWh/day with Tesla's efficiency.

If everyone has giant EV pickups with 200kWh batteries driving 500 miles every day, yeah you have a problem. But that's the tiny minority.

Am I the only one who thinks this may be a good thing? We saw ridiculous growth in marginal VC firms; they SHOULD experience the same trials that their portfolio companies are now facing. The funds are actively managed and then wound down; why shouldn't the larger organizations do this as well? If you're VC firm is no longer relevant, and was only raising money because low interest rates the alternative investments so poor, good riddance.
Then the Oakland city council should make hard choices and reduce discretionary expenditures in other areas. That's a shame and it will hurt underprivileged city residents who are already struggling, but they need to face reality. I hate that we essentially all have to pay a "tax" to protect against IT security threats but what is the alternative? There doesn't seem to be a cheaper option that actually works.
Indeed. I do know Azure has special provisions for compliant computing for a couple of industries. Regarding GPT-3, besides the original OpenAI offer, it is now possible to consume it from Azure instead. My understanding is that this is not just rebranding, but actually different machines and additional software. Azure folks have their own privacy constraints, which I guess is meant to address PII concerns, among others. Here's the link:https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/cognitive-service...

He was his own anonymous source to news media. Though I don't know whether the Enquirer should count as news media, per se. Given news was not its focus.

> However, he is still fundamentally correct about the issue that the media deliberately misleads or outright lies consistently enough to not deserve our trust, be it Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, or even NPR.

That doesn't make him, or any other source of information, more trustworthy than the corporate news media.
I agree with pretty much everything you wrote here, but I would add one small caveat:

Cars are complicated. DIY requires time to learn, basic skills that not everyone has, and a number of tools that even I don't own, like blocks to lift your front end when you change your oil and the correct wrenches to swap out various components. If you've been raised in an environment that familiarizes you with those things, or teaches you those things, or even gives you access to some of those tools, you have a big leg up. The whole space is complicated and fucking up some small component could cost you thousands of dollars and weeks getting something repaired. It's scary!

I've gotten into bicycle maintenance, an order of magnitude simpler, in the last couple of years. I'm confident about most of the small stuff, and I've built a bit of a foundation of knowledge. But with so many confusing standards and tools an opinions, even that can be confusing. Cars up the ante even more.

I guess I'm just saying we should remember our privilege in this space. A lot of people don't have the time, money, or foundational knowledge to do this stuff. I really hope adult learning can expand in the USA eventually to make it easier to fill these gaps, because as you say, if you're forced to go to the dealer you're likely getting screwed on price.

> I desperately want a "Vacation Homes by Hilton" offering, but it doesn't seem to exist, at least not broadly.

> The closest thing seems to be the rise of apartment-hotels, which I'm a huge fan of. Nice kitchens, big living room for people to gather, etc.

There's Hilton Grand Vacations properties, which are kind of like this. I really like staying in them when I'm in Las Vegas for business, because they don't contain casinos, aren't designed to encourage you to leave the room like casino hotels, and generally provide nice spaces to work and gather your team if you want to work together on a project. They're much more family-friendly in general than a typical business hotel as well. The only downside is that they have a separate status system from other Hilton properties, so your Hilton status doesn't incur any benefits and you don't get stay credits towards status.
Off topic rant, but in my personal experience brands destroy more value/goodwill on their email marketing campaigns than any incremental sales they generate.

Why even give me the option to not sign up for your email marketing list when I check out if you’re going to spam me anyway?
I have had amazing airbnb hosts in South America, but usually these hosts are essentially running hotels. Hosts in the US were the worst. One host in NYC, whose slum apartment I stayed in for a few weeks, checked up on the apartment several times while I was at work to turn off the air conditioning (that I left on to avoid coming home to 85 degree heat). Another charged a $300 cleaning fee for a week-long stay, and then complained to me that I left dirty dishes in the sink - apparently they didn't come clean the place for several weeks after I left.
Good advice, but I don't have to do any of this when I stay at hotels. I really like the core idea of AirBNB, but between their crappy hosts and the damage they do to neighborhoods, I won't deal with them anymore.
Maybe not 46%, but c'mon. No Democrats ever came up to me at a restaurant and told my three year old they hoped Daddy was smart enough for vote for Hillary. I don't recall any attempts by Democratic supporters to run a Trump bus off the road. I've never seen the equivalent of "Fuck your Feelings" flags flown by liberals. Remind me of the years long conserted effort on the part of liberals to claim a Republican politician was born in some other country. How many of that 46% you refer to believe to this day that Obama is a secret muslim or Kenyan? Please be honest.
If you downscale by a factor of 2 using bandlimited resampling every time, followed by a single final shrink, you'll theoretically get identical results to a single bandlimited shrinking operation. Of course real world image resampling kernels (Lanczos, cubic, magic kernel) are very much truncated compared to the actual sinc kernel (to avoid massive ringing which looks unacceptable in images), so the results won't be mathematically perfect. And linear/area-based resampling is even less mathematically optimal, although they don't cause overshoot.

All US news stations covered Trump's campaign at least 20x more than Sanders.

All US news stations covered Hilary's campaign at least 5x more than Sanders.

That's without even getting into the hit pieces, the lies, the questions sneaked to Hillary in advance.

That style of narrative warping is repeated across every topic that might hurt corporate profits. There's facts, and then there's repetition, presentation, sentiment.

Look at how US media covered the Northern Southern train derailment - one story on page 20, with no context linking the accident to Biden's strike breaking, no context about Northern Southern's $10 billion stock buyback last year, no context about their lobbying against the very regulations that would have prevented this. The vast majority of corporate news ources didn't even name the company.

US media is absolute unequivocal dogshit across the board. It's utterly indefensible. That half of American's have any faith at all in corporate news is astounding. Trust them for sport coverage, sure - but that's entertainment friendo, not news.
That’s alright and a very valid point, I too will appreciate it if I’m working for an employer.

But the OP’s context is about creating your own startup, then things work very differently now, and that’s the reason I feel disappointed, because people are not thinking and replying in the OP’s context, but rather in their own, this makes their point pointless, including yours I’m afraid.

Not necessarily true. The suite/long-stay brands like Residence Inn usually have kitchenettes. (Not that I usually use them other than the refrigerator.)

Marqeta’s documentation is really good for describing highly complex payment topics.

Additionally the way they structured their API responses is brilliant. The API response data structures are deeply nested which means you have to perform less API calls to get related data (which often occurs with payments data).

I’ll second this one. They don’t try to be cute or too funny, it’s just written in a casual tone. My only (fairly minor) problem is that it’s not always clear where to start. Once I’m in the right general place, I’m pulled along really well but, because there is so much that’s possible, it feels like they need a better overall getting started place.

Still, grade A work over there on docs!
Its true, though. Pick half a dozen news articles from 2+ years ago, then find the current state of information we have on what happened. Its pretty obvious that journalists lie, embellish, misrepresent what their sources tell them, or simply never did basic fact-checking. I realized this a long time ago and its only gotten worse. No one wants to pay for news, and they certainly don't want to pay for news that consistently causes them cognitive dissonance on top of being boring. But thats exactly what the world is: uncomfortable and technical.

If your headlights are at the same level as my car's roof, there is no alignment that will both a) not blind me, and b) actually illuminate the road in front of you. It is geometrically impossible.

But I agree to some extent that adaptive headlights are a band-aid. The real problem is the American auto market's fetish for ever-larger vehicles with ever-brighter headlights. We are a nation of adult children bereft of restraint, unable to grasp (or, alternately, unconcerned by) the fact that these vain indulgences are killing people.
Honestly, I'm surprised only half of Americans thinks that the media misleads them. That's the whole purpose of those media.
The point that I am trying to make is that the ambiguity is what these hosts are using to slide the line egregiously far in their favour.
Yes, the size of those vehicles is definitely a factor. No alignment is going to account for the truck headlights being the same level as your eyes. Misalignment is definitely a thing though. Particularly with lifted trucks and the lack of auto-leveling when carrying a load. This affects halogens as well

But I think a lot of the blinding you see day to day is actually illegal HID/LED retrofits in reflector housings. Factory LEDs are not nearly as bad as those Amazon LEDs in reflectors.

Auto accidents are extremely serious. Wasn't that originally one of the arguments for why you should invest in Tesla? Because they will supposedly, one day, have cars that drive themselves safely?

But now that you completely punctured that thought bubble in my head with your incisive comment, I guess they are no big deal. They can all pack it up and liquidate.
> But what America really needs is more media literacy

You describe a mountain of problems _inside_ your own industry, and yet you walk away with the idea that it's the public that needs extraordinary change to account for this.

I appreciate your point of view, but I think your conclusion is horribly biased.
You are partly correct, but partly not. In this case, having the low beams on = 4 lamps, high beams = 6 lamps. I compensated for the high beams being on full time by aiming my headlights lower.

Some vehicles turn the low beams off when engaging the high beams, in which case you'd be correct.

Wonderful bit of whataboutism! Now please respond to the argument.
This isn't a refutation. If the markets for christian stuff and <everything else> are sufficiently disjoint then it can and probably is perfectly rational to choose the bigger <everything else> pie rather than trying to compete for the Christian market. You see "ideological capture," other see the market at work. Somehow I also doubt passing laws in Florida to force Disney to make Mickey Mouse less woke will have the intended effects but it probably feels exciting to you all the same.

To be clear I also think its a bit ridiculous to have Disney operate as a local goverment of a town. But I'd say that if Disney was a feed supply company and not a media/theme park outfit just the same while your (and Ron D's) concern seems to be that "Woke Disney" specifically had that jurisdiction.
