This brings back memories! My first personal website used that orange gradient with the 3D text for the logo (my name).

Looks good - thanks for sharing.

Is this a hosted solution? Open source?

I can't tell from your website how you are solving this problem: "I think bloggers should have control over their own blog."

Airbnb includes the cleaning fee (and other fees) in the advertised price. I just checked our own listing and it shows the total cost.

For us, we charge the same cleaning fee whether you stay for 1 night or 7 nights. So I don't know how we can incorporate that into the nightly fee without either over-charging or under-charging for cleaning. Having it listed separately keeps it consistent and clear to guests.

I've been an Airbnb host for the last 3 years. We've never expected guests to do any cleaning or washing of dishes (although it's always appreciated when they do!) We charge a small cleaning fee to cover the costs of cleaning our studio which only takes an hour. We also have maintained a really high rating over the last few years (currently at 4.96). I would hope that other rentals that have ridiculous rules and high cleaning fees would suffer from average ratings?

I was skeptical, but this looks genuinely useful. I can already think of some use-cases for this, e.g. a spreadsheet I was working on recently had a list of user, and then a comma-separated list of software apps they were using. It was a bit of a nightmare to parse, but the example in the article would definitely help with filtering the list.

I'm confused - is this meant as satire? The blog author's other posts also look like they are generated by an LLM, so I'm not even sure if the author is trying to be funny or serious?

Not surprised at all - just making the point that getting a model to run isn't that impressive if it runs at a few tokens per second.

That's useful thanks. Also, looks painfully slow!

No mention of the performance of the models? I'm able to load a bunch of different models on my little mini-PC with 16GB RAM, but the performance is terrible. I always wonder what performance people are getting with local models that they find is acceptable?

I agree with Mitchell's original post: "stay frosty with AI", and I disagree with response that says "the houses are better". I'm assuming that Mitchell was saying you should treat all AI code with caution, and the more I work with AI-generated code, the more I agree with this sentiment. Even the frontier models (Fable, Opus, Sol, etc) all make fundamental errors from time to time, and if you're not keeping your eyes open these are easy to miss.

Just the other day, I got Fable to help generate a sign-up flow for a Django app. It looked perfect to me, and like the Twitter post linked to, I looked at it with marvel and delight. But I got Sol to review the code and it spotted some fundamental issues with the flow that would have let bad actors enumerate accounts and log in before their account was verified - both of which were supposed to be checked.

To continue with the analogy, yes we can "will houses into existence", but unless we've checked the bricks and the foundations, these houses can easily crumble into rubble.

Here in NZ, what Trump has been doing in the Middle East is having a huge impact on policy, especially with the upcoming elections this year. Trump has reminded us (and I imagine many other countries too) that relying on other countries for fuel is fraught with danger. EV sales have spiked here, and all of the political parties are scrambling to come with electrification policies. So for NZ at least, I definitely agree with the OP comment about Trump's influence.
