MLS puts a lot of eyeballs on it and likely can and will increase the sales price. A sign in the yard is not likely to ignite a bidding war. Although I'm glad this worked out for you, it seems like bad advice in general.

> For example you might think the agent is motivated to get you the highest selling price. But in reality they are much more interested in making a sale at any price, because that lets them get paid and lets them move on from marketing your property

This is true. Although, it's just important to remember your contract with the realtor is to sell it at a Listing Price. You have no obligation or liability to except a lower offer or reduce your list price, ever. They are salespeople and lean into the friendship thing, but remember they work for you and treat it as a big important financial transaction like it probably is (to you)

Totally. Sometimes [Hanlon's Razor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon%27s_razor) applies too -- often times the easiest thing to do is pile on without refactoring anything. And what makes sense in the scope of one PR doesn't necessarily make sense holistically over several years of changes.

Most folks aren't incentivized or simply don't bother to think through things and try harder. The "this way looks more smart so I made it all complicated" thing definitely happens too, but in eng orgs like I'm part of where we go through design reviews to try and cull that sort of thinking, the other less-intentional version is still common enough to be a problem at scale.
I would note that Wikipedia coverage of the Ukraine conflict is also superior to anything I have even slightly seen in major world news sources. Tend to look at AP, Reuters, AlJazeera, TASS, SCMP, Xinhuanet, none are close in details about the actual battles and conflicts - at least from the coverage that gets filtered for me based on their algorithms.

There are two Large articles covering:

2014-present issues: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russo-Ukrainian_War

2022-present invasion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine

Interestingly you're having the same experience as the person you are replying to, but you haven't reached the understanding they've reached.

If all those people you say refuse to question their beliefs are actually chasing a higher form of good for themselves, why would they engage in any kind of activity that would undermine that pursuit? It doesn't make sense unless you propose to replace it with a structure that is more strongly aligned to with the goal of achieving a higher form of themselves. Which nobody ever actually is when they argue against religion, they just got hurt by somebody's interpretation of it and are trying to find validation for that hurt.
Yes, it is. I'm trying to spread the word... but maybe this is the kind of thing that needs a good full-size articulation for it to really click.
Encouraging researching the scientific method is itself indoctrination, though it is done differently from other indoctrination.

This isn't bad. I don't think it is worth you while to research cannibalism, or a number of other things that people have done/believed in over time. Even if you come to the "right conclusion" there is just too much too research to look into everything people have come up with. My life is worse because I - a non-doctor - had to research all the anti-vaccination claims to see if they really were baseless (they were, but I know from history experts are not always right and once in a while a conspiracy really does occur)
The graphics don't help clear things up, either. Showing the growth rate over time is interesting, but only if you also show the percent of kids in each camp. It's not immediately obvious whether homeschooled kids are 2%, 8%, or .2%, from looking at the charts (and even doing a ctrl-F on "percent").

It's kind of embarrassing that this article doesn't once mention the rough percentage of students that are being homeschooled.
This is nice in that it has standardized threaded mounting points, but doesn't solve the distance from the chair arms outs to the keyboard halves. So there'd still be some doing.

Definitely not in most markets. This is very unique to the US.

Also, what's the advantage of paying someone whose goals don't quite align with yours? And isn't it a massive conflict of interest?

> I know you just said “religion,” but I can only speak about Christianity as I’m deeply familiar with it.

I believe you when you speak of the bad experiences you had, but you seem to think that what you've seen is the only (or at least the typical) manifestation of Christianity. But that isn't true, and if you do indeed believe it's true I respectfully suggest you aren't deeply familiar with Christianity the way you believe.

I am a Christian, and I was raised Christian. I have never once seen a community such as you describe. I realize they exist (everyone knows about the WBC, for instance), but they aren't the norm. Christians I have known aren't trying to indoctrinate anyone, and they are quite happy to entertain respectful discussion and debate about their faith. They are only human, of course, and like all humans they don't wish to constantly debate things they settled for themselves ages ago (so you are sometimes going to get individuals who shut you down). But on the whole Christians are perfectly willing to engage in introspection or intellectual debate to the same extent anyone else is (because let's not forget, many people don't do introspection or intellectual debate of any topic).

> It’s slowly dying in every developed country because it doesn’t make sense when logic and science are applied.

You are welcome to your opinion, but it stands at odds with the fact that there have been many Christian intellectuals throughout history. Scientists, theologians, and philosophers have all found that their faith still makes perfect sense in the context of their intellectual pursuits.

I tried with that option enabled and now it can't generate code at all. Here's my prompt:

```
You are given an array prices where prices[i] is the price of a given stock on the ith day.

Find the maximum profit you can achieve. You may complete at most two transactions.

Note: You may not engage in multiple transactions simultaneously (i.e., you must sell the stock before you buy again).

Write Python code to solve this:
def maxProfit(self, prices: List[int]) -> int:
```

Output:

```
It seems like you want to find the maximum profit that can be achieved by buying and selling stocks, with the constraint that you can only make at most two transactions. Is that correct?

Could you please provide some example input and output to help me better understand your requirements?
```

I also tried a more basic prompt, but the output is not what I'd consider good code.

Can you maybe share some examples where we can see how it exceeds GPT-4's capabilities? Thanks!

Some gig workers here, including DoorDash, Favor, and Lyft, don't read instructions, are unreliable, act unprofessionally, are lazy, and are prone to outbursts of anger. I gave up on them for personal security, cost, and reliability reasons. The problem is "YGWYPF", but I think the platforms are keeping all of the money and exploiting their "contractors".

One Lyft driver took me on a half mile "bank heist escape" ride and refused to let me out the vehicle. Fuck that. Contacted the platform and the cops, but of course they didn't do anything because there's zero accountability.

Ask HN: How realistic is it to land a remote internship?
(nb: throwaway account)

I'm currently a Master's student in NLP in France and I need to complete a 2-to-6-month-long internship between January and September 2024 to complete my degree. The thing is I have had jaw surgery planned for March for a long time already and I can hardly move from where I'm staying right now because subsequent visits to the surgeon's office will be required after surgery.

I only have two options: find an internship in my city or find a remote internship. It seems that offers are very scarce in both cases, but I might be more lucky with remote internships. I've had a certain number of interviews for non-remote internships in NLP, data analysis/science or full-stack dev, most of them going great, but every time I mention that I won't be able to move it's a big no-no for them (and I perfectly understand why). Lately I've been getting really stressed about that because I feel like I'll never be able to land an internship and get my degree simply due to health requirements.

Has anybody else been in a similar situation? How doomed am I?

Due to the scarcity of remote internship offers, I'm also not really sure where you are supposed to find them? I'm primarily using LinkedIn when it comes to searching for internship offers. Is it a good place to search or should I use/do something else?
Broken systems linger despite themselves all the damn time, are you really suggesting otherwise?
Which is precisely why I said “genuine creativity” in hopes of avoiding pedantry around word etymology. It’s hard to have these discussions when people are deliberately being obtuse.

> That’s what religious people want you to believe, but if you watch how they act, how they vote, and how they discriminate it could not be farther from the truth.

While your deep understanding of a few people around you is your own, Christianity alone has over a billion people from all cultures and walks of life ascribing to it. I don't think you can realistically claim to treat them as a bloc, and to attempt to might cast doubt on your ability to even judge well the people you do know.
All of that might be true, but the end result is that the social media feed for all politicians will be dominated by crazy people yelling at each other, and the politician won't participate and nobody normal will read it. Basically the same as comments on newspaper articles, really. Any unmoderated forum is going to be worthless as a forum.

That might be the constitutionally mandated outcome, but it's probably preferable to just not allow comments at all.
Could you open source these great models? OK yes you need a competitive advantage. So maybe open source them when you are say 2 models ahead in production?

In any case I am happy there is some competition and that it has come from a more pragmatic scrappy space than one of the multiple billion dollar funded places.
> Its the lawyers, inspectors, insurance underwriters, loan originators, and title companies that do the real/legal work.

And they get paid a flat rate to do that work (hourly or per contract). There should be no reason for commission based compensation for brokers and RE agents in the residential market. I could see an argument in the commercial market for it though.
But it wasn't used to generate the music in this "game" that isn't a game. This was my point - that it is unclear exactly what AI did and did not do in this case. Like, I'm 100% sure my mom could not have done this, so, not "all" AI like the title says.

Probably because there's little disagreement about the existence of the benefits of it or what they are. That's not the issue.

For me, the issue (as with all things like this) is about consent. Opt-in telemetry? I have no issue with it. Opt-out telemetry? Very sketchy, but at least you can opt out. Undisclosed or mandatory telemetry? Completely unacceptable.
Do you think it is the same asking a small subset of users than having info on all the users? I work as a Product Manager, and trust me, it is not the same.
You’re not forced into taking any deal you don’t want to; your real estate agent can’t accept deals without your consent. I agree, agents are usually more focused on deal flow than particular outcomes, but it’s sort of a fundamental issue with agency in general.

A software consultant is more focused on you signing off on the work than your bottom line, it’s hard to get people to not act in their best interest, and for the average person the home buying/ selling process is probably too complicated for them to navigate without going through some training.

I think the biggest reform that could be passed is to disentangle NAR and MLS.

I think I can explain the confusution.

The state dictating and setting the rules is no more free than the parents setting the rules.

This basically comes down to an argument not of freedom, but if the children are property of the state or parents.

When you look at it this way, it makes perfect sense that libertairian minded folks would support homeschooling.

After all, the state isnt offering the freedom of choice and action to children, it is making legal requirements and demands.

You got lucky. Houses with lift stations are a thing. Usually a bunch of houses will go to a common lift station, but that's not always the case.

My dad runs a company installing and servicing various sewage treatment solutions and I spent a lot of weekends as a child going to nice houses on service calls because their lift station threw an alarm and it wasn't pumping their sewage.
That's fair. I believe in selective usage for some things too, but the thought came to me that what happened with Eich getting ousted is probably a very early instance of what people call "cancel culture" these days.
> the current mode of "anything goes, you can be whatever you feel like and there's no judgement of any of your actions."

That doesn't match reality. Do you have kids in public school? Of course they judge actions—especially those that harm others. Sometimes that's called social-emotional learning, one of the things that Florida politicians have tried to make a boogeyman. We're certainly willing to punish kids based on their actions.
I post it here. HN is a fun place and I love the kind of discussions that come out of it. I get excited when I'm about to post something.

The cgi module is still in 3.12. It will be removed in 3.13, which is planned for release on 2024-10-01, so not yet dropped.

FWIW, the Python developers have wanted to drop the cgi module for over 20 years. It has no maintainer.

Depending on your needs, you might consider:

1) versioning and maintaining your own copy of cgi.py;

2) use something like https://pypi.org/project/legacy-cgi/ (I have not vetted it) which is a forked copy of cgi and cgitb; or

3) use the CGI capabilities of wsgiref (I used it for one CGI project to allow a future transition away from CGI).

As for "crypt" - wow! I haven't seen anyone use that since the 1990s!

Again, the code is short, and easy to vendor, except for the _crypt extension module.

For that, you might be able to use ctypes, like this:

>>> from ctypes.util import find_library
>>> find_library("c")
'/usr/lib/libc.dylib'
>>> from ctypes import cdll
>>> libc = cdll.LoadLibrary(find_library("c"))
>>> import ctypes
>>> libc.crypt.argtypes = [ctypes.c_char_p, ctypes.c_char_p]
>>> libc.crypt.restype = ctypes.c_char_p
>>> libc.crypt(b"toomanysecrets", b"az")
b'azi4LBG1VJohQ'

Here is what Python's own _crypt does:

>>> import _crypt
>>> _crypt.crypt("toomanysecrets", "az")
'azi4LBG1VJohQ'

In the vast majority of cases, that is literally how the teacher knows it: they don't actually know the evidence or the chain of reasoning that science took to get to where the current theory is, nor how one could actually go about gathering the evidence oneself to prove it true or false.
