I don't entirely doubt the landlord but the bizzarre part is the landlord showing up to take their trash and then somehow finding bundles of wires inside the unit. Why would an airbnb host enter the unit to take trash?

That’s part of the process of resetting a property for the next reservation. It’s not bizarre, it’s literally what Airbnb landlords do (or sometimes hire other people to do, but that lowers margins)

"Why would an airbnb host enter the unit to take trash?"

Not every airbnb host has a professional cleaning staff, and some of those who do may sometimes wish to check the status of their property. I don't find anything strange, let alone "bizarre".


Mid visit though?

Does the un-regulation cut both ways? A landlord usually needs to notify tenants 24hr in advance if they're going to enter the property. Does an AirBnB host need to follow any similar rules? It's not like the renters have a lease, it's not their residence.. Do they have any rights to privacy or notice at all?

They said they saw the wires through the window. Presumably they didn't enter the unit.

I read that the host took the trash, which was outside the house, and through the window he saw the cables and the man with the laptop.

Hmm couldn't find any pictures of actual results from using this?


Isn’t the screen shot of the app just below the fold good enough? Or would you like to see the finished product. The quality of that would significantly depend on the person making it (how well they can cut paper, how well they can glue) and their commitment to quality (how hard they’re trying), so I think it would either oversell the product by showing something the average user cannot produce or undersell it.


I didn't use this app, but I did happen to make a paper moai mask recently using a pattern purchased from etsy.

bizarre take and writing style. if the saas enables them to be more efficient it's overall net positive


how do you set that up? the default git tool version seems to be 3 pane


Looks like it's "Show Base" under the top-level "..." menu when working on a merge conflict

the whole obsequious nature of how LLMs also amp them up thinking they're onto something incredible is throwing gas on this dumpster fire.

"What a great idea! This will revolutionize linkedin commenting. Let's implement it together."


Anthropic tried to fix this I think. Because it's the only model that will push back, but it's even funnier.

Ask a question, it will say yes, ask "are you sure?", it will reverse direction full throttle, then ask are you sure again and it'll go back to initial response saying "yeah I confused myself there". You can do this until context window exhaustion and this will never stop.

On the other side of this, Gemini will stand by whatever it generated the first time, no matter how much you push back and no matter how stupid the idea is.


Oh for sure. When I present something to the LLM it always tells me how great it is until I make it "question" it, then it says it was overestimating this or that. Eh. Quite annoying.



You have to remember that LLM's don't have any persistent capacity to hold a "judgement". You ask for something, it provides an attempt at a completion for it. No fact checking, no reasoning, just a plausible looking output, tuned to hopefully get you to repeat the interaction.

Half the reason the dominant UX is a "Chat" is that's the only way to provide a facsimile of memory or persistence across requests. Append the last few turns, press go. Over time you can develop an eye for the model's tics/attractor topics.

Remember that they bill by token use, and suddenly, the entire UX/architecture starts making sense.


Did they train this on @lauriewired's voice? The demo video sounds exactly like her at 0:18


i can confirm that we did not.


What's the source of that voice then in training data? It sounds insanely close to her voice. Strange parallel to openAI denying they trained on Scarlet J's voice.


I love it. This is so much better for finding random things to watch than the algo


yeah I don't have this issue with airpods pro. charge them maybe every other week and never had issues pairing. The case charge should last for ~30-40 hrs of listening. The auto switching between laptop and phone is pretty great too for taking calls or walking away and not having to fiddle around with repairing


Agree they’re great but it does fascinate me when there are weird edge cases that Apple mess up.

For example if I have my phone and laptop running, and I’m listening to something on my phone, I pause with my AirPods, and then I unpause with my AirPods, instead of what was playing on my phone resuming through my AirPods, a video that I’ll have forgotten about will instead play through my laptop speakers, and pressing pause on my AirPods will do nothing and I have to interrupt whatever I’m doing to pause on the laptop. Possible they’ve fixed this specific issue though since I’ve learned to not have anything that has media controls open on my laptop.

The cross platform control stuff is probably very hard and usually works though.


you can put a time limit on it from when they start to submit. It's really the only way to solve high volume of unqualified applicants. So much time wasted talking to people who could barely code


Submit 30min after interview, “you have 20min” (remainder for bio break or whatever)?


feedback: your psuedo code example is just product requirements and not actual psuedo code. and I think if you wrote psuedo code it would just work as is without a skill


True (will fix) - but then still, Claude will still not change my pseudo code, but directly translate. I liked that part particularly.
