I've found the nicer middle (upper-middle?) hotels offer the same thing, but often give some reward — a voucher for a drink in the bar, snacks, etc.

I'm fine with it; I don't want someone remaking the bed so I have to loosen all the tight sheets before I use it.

It would also be very unusual for me to have enough trash that it needs emptying, or use enough toilet paper that it runs out, but I guess others might eat particular take-away food which could account for both...

That iPhone got supremely lucky. They stopped making them strong after the 5s body design, that was the last one with a full metal back as well as the screen fully protected on edge. On the next generation “bar of soap” body the glass bulges out so when you drop it, often it lands glass first right on the edge and just shatters.

I don't think anyone said that.

Bad attitudes are damaging regardless of which team member acts that way. Manager, Project Manager, Jr. Engineer, etc. An anxious/spazzy Project Manager can unnecessarily put everyone on edge.

Shitty people make other people miserable, period.
You're correct except for the use-cases where one of these come into play:

A. Latency: for some systems, you need near real-time predictions. LLMs (today) are slow for that.

B. Cost: when the low dev. effort (for building and deploying an ML model) and low sample complexity (i.e. zero/few-shot) doesn't translate into proportionate monetary gains over what you pay for LLM usage.

C. Precision: when you want the model to reliably tell you when it doesn't know the correct answer. Hallucination is a part of it - but I think of this requirement as the broader umbrella of good uncertainty quantification. I think there are two reasons why this is worse for LLMs: (1) traditional ML models also suffer from this, but there are some well known ways for mitigation. For LLM's there is still no universal or accepted way to perform this reliably (2) the quality of generated language an LLM produces seems to be more likely to deceive you when it is wrong. I don't know how to scientifically think about this - maybe as LLMs proliferate people would build appropriate mental defenses?

There is also the practical problem of prompt transferability across LLMs: what works best for one LLM might not work well for another, and there is no systematic way to optimally modify the original prompt. This is painful in some setups where you're looking to be not locked-in. But I didn't put it in the list because this seems to be a problem for niche groups - everyone seems to be busy in getting stuff working with one LLM. Maybe this will become a larger issue later.

A pedant's corner deserves a devil's advocate's corner facing it:

A little outrageous (in a fun way) but perfectly reasonable choice in making the writing more vivid. It implies that Marcel's theory of innocence is like a religion. That might be an intentional implication whose subtlety escaped you, if the author intended that. Or it could be that the author didn't intend that and just misused the word. I would give the author some benefit of doubt here based on their command of language displayed.

"Marcel spent our entire first meeting trying to convert me over to his religion-like faith in his own innocence"

Would be a much more appropriate way to render it than the intentionally obtuse way you chose

I think I felt strongly enough to comment here simply because I really enjoy seeing fun usages of language like this so I hate to see them smeared as all being accidental screwups, and the only good writing to be really literal writing. (at the same time it is entirely possible this case is unintentional)

Dunno what kind of rules exist on the host side to block bookings under a certain rating. I know eBay’s are garbage because they’re not in the business of blocking sales.

I'd expect roofing to be less immune. No offense to any roofers out there, but roofing is a lot more formulaic than plumbing or HVAC.

I don't think it would be hard at all to design a robot to roof the large flat areas typical of modern architecture (if it can be dignified by that name), maybe with a human or two to make sure the robot keeps working, and to handle any peaks, valleys, plumbing or heating penetrations, or other weird areas.

My dad died with Lewy Body Dementia and it was absolutely terrible. He was hallucinating terrible things and would be up all night terrified.

I called him once when he was in the hospital and had to be restrained. He begged me to come get him because he thought he had been kidnapped and was being held in a barn somewhere. There was no convincing him that the people around him were doctors and nurses who were trying to help him.

After I told him I couldn't come (I was in another country at the time) he begged me to call the police. By the end of the call he told me the barn was on fire and he was going to burn alive. It was enough to convince me that I needed to be in control of when and how I die.

My dad had no idea what was going on and he was 100x worse for it.
Simple they just have a minimum fee, book whatever days you want.

Lets say their cost for cleaning is 100 usd. Without cleaning they the price per night is 150 usd.

How much should the price increase per night to cover the cost of cleaning?

So either too low for people staying one night or too high for people staying multiple nights. Why is it better?
Retailers are the tip of the iceberg.

These companies would want to sell your info to any group who see you as a liability, not just law enforcement:

- Insurance companies want an excuse deny payment

- Potential employers want an excuse to not hire you

- Landlords, neighbors, social clubs benefit from an excuse to deny you

- People who despise you for any reason may use this to hurt you.

Any of these uses today might be seen as extreme, but these things have a way of normalizing themselves over time.

Usually when that happens, the shipping date jumps too, because it's chosen a faster shipping method. I'm not sure why but I'm not 100% convinced it's deliberate deception. However they also don't show shipping prices in the search view, and display the lowest-price configuration instead of the range.

Most EV owners charge at home because it's priced as a high end vehicle (some mid-range ones exist - I drive one of the few low-priced ones).

However a sizable portion of the population (35%) live in apartments - which are notoriously against any upgrades.

Without that population EVs will not be "mainstream". It's a chicken/egg problem where you need affordable EV chargers for that population to migrate to EVs and EV density so EV charger build-out can be justified.

Governments typically front this kind of shift (e.g.: 2022 IRA - mild support).

Nothing fundamental has changed, it's still capitalism. Capitalism is and has always been parasites getting a free ride off other people's labor. Just because more companies are doing what landlords have been doing forever doesn't make it a whole new economic system.
Your family was asked to do about 17 minutes of convenient, easy preparatory tidying that most considerate people would do even without being asked (as in a hotel or when visiting a friend).

Yet you benefited from coming into a home that, presumably, had all of its floors vaccuumed, its kitchen and bathroom surfaces sanititized, its linens folded and/or readied, etc. Whether it was the host or a service, somebody followed up behind you and likely spent at least several hours preparing the place for the next guest. And instead of it being bundled into your daily room rate like in a hotel, since it's only being done once per stay, it was applied as a per-stay cleaning fee. That's eminently fair.

There are about a thousand of things to complain loundly about with AirBnB and countless things in life more broadly -- being asked to tidy up a little bit or to pay a per-stay fee to cover cleaning? Not really a compelling one.

Anti-science propaganda has a purpose in today's political environment. It isn't a joke, and it isn't a troll. It's deadly serious.
"Ray" can share python objects memory between processes. It's also much easier to use than multi processing.
For my small house (~1200 sq ft) the woman who cleans my house charges me $150, and she's usually here for around 2-2.5 hours. She hasn't increased her rate for me for over 10 years, so I imagine she'd charge more if I started out new.

So in other words, even 10 years ago she was charging roughly $75/hr, which is much more than the $20/hr that grandparent was citing.

I apologize for my parent comment, it was terrible. I just don't know how to respond to the the broad idea complex that we need less/no economic growth. The way I see it there are two ways it could go. Either the poor countries don't develop or we somehow transfer the economic resources from away from the countries that are currently rich. Non-development is cruel, redistribution is impossible politically and there is also a chance that the recipients go the way of South Africa.
The stress of staying with a group at an Airbnb is not
Worth it anymore. One of our friends didn’t PERFECTLY follow the instructions of what to do with the sheets and just piled them all together in a corner for easy cleanup.

The cleaners used this as an excuse to scam the owner who lived 8hs away and saw the property every 6 months to tell them we had trashed the place and that they had to work 6hs. They took up close pictures of trash… (that was outside in the trash can btw) and claimed we just left it everywhere.
Took an up close picture of a crumb on the floor. Am
I supposed to vacuum the whole place?

If you’re a couple it’s easy to track everything and have a strong case.
With friends you have to start questioning your friends to see if any of these claims are true. I don’t go in their rooms to check, so I have to take their word for it.

Very much not worth it. Not to mention the quasi legal battle with Airbnb that is a pandora box and for 6 weeks or more you are unsure of what’s going on, the host trashes yours and all your friends profiles, and they expect you to “pay for damages”.

All this because they estimate the minimum possible time for their cleaners and if they go over the 15min they booked (at a rate that is only matched by HP ink) they pass the charges to you.

Screw that. Never again.
We’ve been staying at hotels with much better amenities for the money and actually REST. Checkout is at 10? I just leave. I don’t have to wake up at 7 to do dishes and bed sheets and trash and sweep and look for crumbs and take pictures to cover my ass later.
And I guess what I don't understand is why people choose Python for these use cases. I am not in the "Rustify" everything camp, but Go + C, Java + JNI, Rust, and C++ all seem like more suitable solutions.
One question I have that nobody, including an Intel AXG employee, has been able to answer satisfsctorily for me is why both Gaudi and Ponte Vecchio exist. Wouldn't Intel have better chances of success if they focused on one product line?

This doesn't actually happen even discounting the hyperbole. Airbnb sides with guests for little things. And hosts are much more affected by a bad review than a guest is.
More than seeing it in main, I'm happy for the "python thread slow" meme officially going away now.
About 35% of the US population lives in an apartment. Without that population you're never going to get mainstream EV adoption.
My experience was such that it wasn't that way at all. The camera was indoors but not in areas of the house where someone would be walking around without clothing, and they were clearly disclosed in advance before booking, and they were clearly visible in the home.

Like the QA person who was faking test results for specialty steel being used in US submarines because they couldn't be assed to actually test the sample at extremely low temperatures because "surely the sub won't actually get to -100 degrees, the water would freeze".

Of course, those tests were being done to build reliable models for how that steel would react to actually very cold North Atlantic temperatures that non-trivially increase the brittleness of steel and has had demonstrable negative impact on warship survivability.

Crits are great when there’s enough substance to do them regularly. If you fall off the cadence or have very little every meeting, it is a huge waste of time. In our case we tried it, but now resorted to async crits where there’s a set of reviewers and a date to be reviewed by, and people do it at their own cadence. It works for us in a reasonably sized team/org, but may not work for everyone.
I wonder what YC expects from such investments (considering the multitude of FOSS solutions in this area).

If I had a group of graduate students at my beck and call I'd love to try to factor out what effect single-family rentals have had on the rental market in toto - because once you remove appreciation, they're often losing money each month, which means they're subsidizing the renters (and willing to do so because they're making it up on highly-leveraged appreciation).
>If I'm shopping at a retail store, even Walmart, there is a certain floor I expect to the quality of goods.

You also get to inspect things a bit before you buy them. My girlfriend tried Temu, I explained what she was likely going to get, she insisted that the price was so good "we would be losing money by not buying it", the order arrived (late) and was the quality I expected, she realized it wasn't worth it and deleted the app. If we went to Walmart and saw the same things for the same price, she wouldn't have even wanted to touch them. There's no guarantee a shirt you get from Walmart will last, but you at least know the fabric is thicker than toilet paper before you buy.
Ah, thanks.

eBay could have fixed this a long time ago. Most marketplaces (at least in my country) manage the shipping transparently (by taking the shipping fee and providing a pre paid label to the seller).

It's a shame that when the SCART connector was conceived they didn't include X and Y signals along with the RGB ones. Would be cool to have every TV in Europe also being an X-Y monitor (and allow an extra cool free visualization mode when the TV is on but you are listening to music).
Indeed, we need to give credit to MS for what they did. However, it didn't catch up as you mentioned, maybe due to timing, skepticism toward MS, or the complexity of moving from Adobe to MS for PDF management. I will dig a bit into it and come back later if I find anything interesting.

I have a couple books here that carry terms like DO-178C, ISO 26262, IEC 62304 and so on on their covers. All that paperwork, all these processes, all that has a single reason: To make doubly^N sure that humans, who love to do all sorts of mistakes, don't.

Creating environments where these processes are kicked into the bucket in whatever way is NOT what workers do, it is coming from the very top. Do I need to continue on ... ? Maybe about what happens to workers if they try to do the right thing? Ever heard about engineers at Boeing who spoke up ... ?

It is time the head honchos not just at Boeing but more generally get to see that accountability, responsibility, and all these other fancy words also have some actual meaning. We have to stop playing this stupid game of "deferred responsibility", because in the end it is not a company but humans making decisions and there are always consequences from that. Some just take a while to cause some effects and not all of them take the direct route, either. But that doesn't make the decision makers less/not responsible.

I'm on the M2 MacBook Air, and it's pretty incredible. It runs cool, it's as fast as I could possibly want for daily tasks (I'm not doing video encoding or anything), and it's tiny. It's barely bigger than my iPad.

It's far faster than my top-end Intel MBP was. I haven't seen it struggle with anything yet.

I've found that where I used to take my iPad to do things (on the couch, in the car, etc.), now I take the MBA, because I might as well have my full computer setup. I've found I'm using my iPad a lot less overall.

I've been using Mac laptops since 2005, and it's easily the best I've ever had.

It's actually annoying that the MBPs are so much bigger and heavier for so little of an improvement in real-world usage (for non-gaming, non-video-editing tasks). They seem last-gen in comparison.
