Yeah, Airbnb has been awful since 2022. Hotels always cheaper, easier, and better.

Airbnb is so much more versatile I almost always start there when traveling. (And then move to booking.com.)

A house for 6 people. A guaranteed view. A real kitchen. A remote location. Etc.


Airbnb is insanely expensive and I have to do everything myself.

The only reason to choose it is because it has some great venue that Booking is missing, but it's very rare.


The only time I ever used AirBnB the host cancelled on me 2 days before my trip while I was scrambling to find a replacement. Absolutely awful user experience that truly offers nothing to people in their moments of extreme need.

My mere fear of this happening keeps me away from the platform

Somehow I don’t think people are confusing raw seismic station earthquake counts with the three back-to-back high profile/magnitude earthquakes that recently occurred in Venezuela, Colombia, and Indonesia.

I understand the point, maybe those recent earthquakes aren’t ood, but still.


There are also likely a lot of earthquakes we don't notice because they don't effect populated areas. There's a lot of ocean around the ring of fire.


I don’t think mapping tooling to ability makes sense here, particularly when the “advanced” tools here just abstract more away, though I agree that Cursor is terrible. So many useless windows.


It was almost impossible to unsubscribe a few years ago. Seems like not much has changed.


Well, the average grade at Princeton is an A. Not sure how much this will change anything.


You can paste this exact response under your other post, as well. Emotionally compelling, scientifically weak. Worth nothing.

But also, what you wrote is just wrong. There are plenty of measurable, significant, ood effects in the last few decades on the climate and its impact.

Here’s one study onglacier retreat over the last 20 years.

And here’s a paper on the effects of the mechanism:

I’m sure you’ll read them earnestly.


Author clearly doesn’t know the field well at all. First few paraphrases reveal this. Opening sentence: I’ve been in the AI space since ChatGPT first dropped.

Everyone is allowed to have an opinion, but that doesn’t mean they’re all worth listening to. Unfortunately, right now, all of those opinions are about ai.


> since ChatGPT first dropped.

That'd be in November of 2022.

That’s just playing semantics. Nobody is talking about, “objective facts” or need define them here. If the step time is measured in days, and your model takes years to train, then it will never get trained to completion on consumer hardware (the entire point).


…against the viet cong, where the biggest risk was the pilot getting pierced from small arms fire (in addition to the helo going down from pilot error). Quite different from the anti-air weapons modern day Iran possesses.


Are you aware that hundreds of American fixed wing aircraft were lost to surface to air missiles in North Vietnam? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._aircraft_losses_t...


Ah yeah, well I didn’t know it was that high!

But I’m responding to the rescue mission comment, which, since Vietnam, have overwhelmingly employed helicopters (Huey’s then, Black Hawks today). But machinery aside, the larger point is that air operations will likely go worse here than they did in Vietnam, unfortunately for both sides.


Or a MiG-17 that could outrate your F-4/F-105 at every subsonic flight regime.


You're conflating the Viet Cong with North Vietnam.


No shame rewarded as expected in the post-cluely world of contemporary VC.


what's interesting to me about Cluely is that they had one of the smartest programmers I know there doing really cool stuff with React... and then they got laid off when the core team moved to New York
