I remember listening to Reid Hoffman interview Airbnb’s founder Brian Chesky [0] and Chesky gave a very compelling story about “11 star customer service.” He claimed Airbnb used this during their design to make amazing products.

It made me use Airbnb more for a while and I had some really nice experiences, years ago. Now they seem kafka-esque and just a tricky value extraction machine of bullshit. I browse every time I plan a trip and end up choosing hotels because of price, simplicity, quality, and just predictability. The exception is Europe, but that was 4 years ago and I think they just have more of a bnb culture so I expect the culture is better and Airbnb is just the interface to the old bnb catalogs of yore.

I wonder if it was all bullshit all along. Or if they failed. Or if they don’t care any more. Or, most cynically, these found that you make more money off crappy customer service and chose to suck and not be great.

I call this the “don’t need to outrun the bear” philosophy. That’s good for survival tactics, but I don’t want to get running training from the company just trying to be the 2nd most horrible.

If I want 11 star customer service I’m just shelling out the cash for an expensive hotel. This takes a lot of research as 5-star doesn’t mean much. But I’ve had success with Park Hyatts in tokyo, Paris, Zurich and other big metros where their staff and facility was truly willing and capable.

It's time to think not how to ban the privacy-invading AI (it will never work), but how to have a smaller footprint that may be used to invade your privacy, and, most importantly, how to run things in such.a way that invading your privacy is not profitable, even though still possible. And, inevitably, learn to live with even less privacy by default.

When 50%+ of the cars driving around your city are Google / Waymo cars which are essentially intelligence gathering tanks with unparalleled surveillance capability, I don't see how anyone is going to be reducing any footprints ? Cashless society? Home assistant robots that "phone home"? Face it, this is not going to be getting better anytime soon. We can try adapt all we like but maybe we should just be walking around with EMP emitting back packs on if we care about our privacy?

The thing with content is that it costs money to produce, and so you (generally) have to pay money to get it.

I know some parents who have super strict "screen time" rules but let their kids watch (during the allotted time) any random dumb youtube show, or play those shitty iPad games. Those parents are not tech savvy, and they assume that all digital experiences are shit.

In contrast I pay lots of money for Nintendo first-party games because I know (I play them too!) that they are engaging digital experiences with good screenwriting. I pay recurring subscription to streaming services and apps because real storytelling for children DOES exist on devices with screens!

You point to the argument that "we have to calculate with them, therefore they are real", but another aspect of the debate is about which mathematical entities are real in the sense of being physically realizable. From this perspective, it's not even clear that real numbers are real, e.g. whether and how it would physically possible for a real-number based quantity to be present in a finite space.
I'd generally recommend not paying too much attention to what Paul Graham or Sam Altman say, just on general principles.

However, as you mention him:

> In 1996, Graham and Robert Morris founded Viaweb and recruited Trevor Blackwell shortly after

At this point, he was 32.

Don't worry about it. The main reason that most startup founders are young is that older people are more likely to have responsibilities which make trying something new difficult for practical purposes.

Give people the option to create, import and export their own on the official site, and a means for browsing a catalog of them. You can infer how good they are (and thus their ranking) by how many interactions are made with the map or something, or just use a rating system that can be done anonymously.

Or, consider that Airbnb is different in different countries and experience varies accordingly.
The bias runs even deeper. I directly know someone who worked in this role pre-pandemic. Barring any QA review of the actioned response, associates assigned to these roles are given a wide berth of discretion to action these disputes based on factors that have little to do with the evidence presented by host or guest.

For example, an associate can side with a host simply because the guest uses ALL CAPS in their dialogue. Extrapolate this to any and every other personal bias.

For big groups or families with kids it might make more sense, since the places are generally larger than a standard double hotel room.

Relevant part:

"Om polisen skjuter mot en person ska de sträva efter att bara för tillfället oskadliggöra personen. Skotten ska i första hand riktas mot benen, men om omständigheterna kräver det får polisen skjuta direkt mot överkroppen – till exempel om den hotfulla personen befinner sig nära i avstånd och angreppet går fort."

Google translation:

"If the police shoot at a person, they must aim to render the person harmless only for the time being. The shots must primarily be aimed at the legs, but if the circumstances require it, the police may shoot directly at the upper body - for example, if the threatening person is close in distance and the attack is fast."

EDIT: some data from https://polisen.se/om-polisen/polisens-arbete/polisens-befog... -- out of 1.13 million police interventions in 2022, shots were fired at a person or vehicle 21 times. Out of those, 2 had lethal outcomes.

My favorite angle is he left Xerox to run IH. How does that line up time-wise with all the seminal developments at Xerox PARC? Did he also leave money lying on the table that would later be scooped up and parlayed into riches by Jobs and Apple?
Yes, that's the point: it didn't work. It won't work again, right now (or in January). Until the cost is manageable, which I think we'll see in a decade or so. But right now I'd bet against it. They might actually go through with it in some remote location and claim victory, or, alternatively they might do it and then roll it back quietly. But 3G isn't going anywhere because some interests trump others.

Infrastructure is always longer lived than it is intended. Next time you're in a London tube station have a look at the cabling and signalling hardware and take a guess at when it was made. 3G gear is brand new by comparison and just as critical to the parties using it.

You can never construct a representative image of the past. You are operating with a limited amount of sources which have survived in one form or another. They are not evenly distributed across time and space. There is an inherent “data loss” problem when a person dies - gone are all the impressions, unwritten experiences, familiar smells. Even a living person’s memory may not be reliable at one point.
That case was different because the "murderer" was explicitly told nothing would happen and was pressured into this by the "victim" against her wishes. The sentencing was mostly for being an idiot.

There's nothing in Rhythm 0 to suggest that the gun or bullet isn't real or that loading the gun and pulling the trigger while aiming at her head won't kill her. So the killing would likely be considered deliberate. At best this could test the boundaries of assisted suicide laws but where present these are usually very narrowly defined and wouldn't apply here even if she said in advance that she'd be okay with dying.

According to a quick DuckDuckGo search, RE Village's download size varies between about 26GB and 29GB depending on what platform it's for—let's just round to 30GB for convenience.

At that size, and the speed I mentioned above, it would take less than 2 minutes (100 seconds, to be precise) to download the entirety of the game. I don't know about you, but I think expecting that a game like that download in less time than that—an operation you only have to do once, when you first install it—seems pretty excessive.

It’s funny but I think am unusually sensitive to latency in games.

I had a “gaming” laptop which had about 30 ms of latency on the screen which I measured by hooking up multiple monitors, running a clock, and photographing the screens. (I got photos where there were different numbers on different screens!)

I was playing League of Legends at the time and it always seemed like I’d get hit and there was nothing I could do about it. Once I started playing on the external monitor I started playing a lot better.

Earlier I was playing Titanfall on a Samsung TV and just getting killed despite Titanfall being forgiving to players who suck. Sure enough I put the TV in “game mode” and all of a sudden I’m “in the game”.

I’m a weeaboo so I play a lot of turn-based games, Musou games and others that are not twitchy but I find there are occasional of single-player games such as Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet that I just can’t progress on without the TV being in game mode.

This is despite the general advice that you shouldn’t use game mode for single-player games. Now I don’t know if other people can anticipate the future better than I can and tolerate latency better (I am a schizotype) or if a lot of people play multiplayer games with high latency and suck at it and don’t know why or if a lot of people try multiplayer games and quit because of their monitor or TV.
>People are labeling it as ChatGPT

If actual people are labeling it as ChatGPT instead of an automated process, it might be because it sounds like ChatGPT. Is English your second language? I sampled some of your blogposts and unfortunately I find the style writing similar to the style of blogspam technical content, it doesn't sound natural in parts. Obviously, advising you to "try to sound more human" is not helpful. If it sounds like ChatGPT to people, or if an algorithm is probabilistically deciding it's ChatGPT, any shortcut would most likely be fleeting.

Try studying the writing style of personal technical blogs people recommend on this site (how is it different than yours etc), and just keep practicing and publishing. I don't have time to list everything that feels "off" in your writing, so I'll just mention one: the overuse of "!" in your posts. It doesn't feel natural and rubs me the the wrong way. It signals forced/mock excitement.

Enshittification not just making a product bad, and it's not just rent seeking. It's more than any of those things.

It's about making a product worse than it needs to be, by terrible pricing and ad infestation, in order to recoup the investment of years of underpricing to capture the market and kill competitors.

This is exactly what Unity has done.
The sky was supposed to fall if net neutrality were abrogated, and IME, that hasn't happened. The only change I (and people I know) witnessed was throttling once broad data limits were exceeded, which IIRC wasn't what was at stake, and which I for one didn't object to, i.e., that people would have to pay for what they use. In short, I have not seen bandwidth or pricing weaponized at all to target specific businesses other than for morally objectionable content. Maybe my awareness is limited - I can't confirm that!
In the last years, our experience is pretty much the oposite, in Europe that is.
>> Authorities penalized families over a mere suspicion of fraud based on the system’s risk indicators.

The thing I love about the Bus Pirate is that you don't need to install any software to use it. Just connect to the serial port. The Glasgow is cool as hell but you have to use Python and to really master it you have to master Amaranth HDL to make use of the FPGA.
>Exempting services from data caps is not against net neutrality,

Excluding some services from bandwidth cap is perhaps slightly less extreme than throttling specific services, which is itself less extreme than blocking those services outright. All are violations of net neutrality. The job of the ISP is to provide network connectivity, not decide how I use it.

From what I see, it vaguely claims to create so-called ‘edit maps’ at compile time, similar to Svelte and million.js.

I don't think you are insincere. I'm certain that you are a very good person. But there is a certain arrogance in trying to understand things you are not equipped to understand. Not being equipped to understand things is not always a bad thing. And it certainly does not mean that things are always out of your control.

I find the room configurations on booking.com are harder for families. Bnbs usually have more configurable space so it’s good to know sleeping surfaces and whatnot.

Is it though? Maybe a gun is the most efficient way to send a destructive projectile to a nearby target. Any "killing living things" part is secondary to the primary function.

Okay but that may imply AI is a building technology, & cooking technology... and surveillance technology. That's how disruptive it is, it's coming at us on multiple fronts.
