Re:Airbnb bans making guests do dishes and take out the trash on Wednesday October 21, 2026 @09:45PM (#50190112)
I found some hair in my Mariott bed sheets. I didn't think it was a big deal but decided to see if I could get fresh sheets. The hotel changed it at 9pm within 10 minutes. Offered me points. Apologized profusely.

What do you think would have been my experience at Airbnb?

Anthropic has amazing models. But they should really stop commenting on software practices. Most of what they say seem out of touch with what's happening in software shops. A lot of it seems hype driven. And the entire message looks to be written by AI.
As it should be. “Safer on average” is not a defense for failing something as basic as stopping at a stop sign. The bar for not running one and killing someone is not unreasonably high.

I didn't get the reference. Please elaborate.

Sorry to be blunt, but Google needs a better Product Marketing team.

As an engineering manager with an AI budget, I'm always looking for better and cheaper tools.

I have a decade of engineering experience and consider myself fairly intelligent.

I still can't figure out what this is, who it's for, or how much it costs.

Hi Peter,

Thank you.

What should my next steps be if my employment-based green card renewal is denied?

How does this compare to AutoGluon's Time Series AutoML?
I tried it to summarize some lecture videos. And the summary ranged from average to bad. Nothing I couldn't already get from the description. Even ChatGPT 4o spits out far better content.

So far my method has been to take the transcript and use an LLM with customized prompt for summary.

How is /r/machinelearning
How do you inform your relatives who are fascinated by this feature and use it on the road? I am scared for them, but I dont know how to educate them. I also dont want to come across having an Anti-Musk Bias.
I agree. The complexity doesn’t lie in the abstractions that these frameworks are selling.

What's this community's take on Triton? https://openai.com/index/triton/

Are there better alternatives?

Would you mind explaining a little more on what is happening in the background?

- What is your core technical value add?

- Do you have the data sets in your own database and you are using OpenAI to query them?

- Looks like you have your own home built database?

- Are you using LLM Agents?

- I saw that you have Airtable integrations, are you able to do the same for any datasource including Airtable?

How does this affect Mac users who had the vulnerability?
Re:I think GCP is better than AWS – by Fernando Villalba on Wednesday October 25, 2023 @07:11PM (#38019536)
We unfortunately have three vendors (AWS, GCP, Azure) at my company because of acquisitions and the cost involved to consolidate.

I am part of the central team that manages the provisioning users and accounts and billing.

AWS is miles ahead of how we can express what we want in accounting.

AWS reps are much much more knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with when it comes to billing.

I don’t have a citizenship unfortunately. I am assuming that’s going to be a blocker.

I will be working remotely in my current position. But I would like to transition as soon as I get a good opportunity.
I want to setup part of the development team outside of a US in Nepal. The country has very restrictive policies around transferring dollars outside of the country. It maybe the case for others as well. I am not sure what to do next. Do you recommend different kinds of attorney - tax? corporate? Do you recommend a company that has done these kinds of setups?
