I assumed this would be about prompt engineering. I often feel like I'm arguing with toddlers when interacting with LLMs :).

trtparity.com, looks like it's a local problem, loads on cellular.

Lots of complexity with that question. CB is voice, this is digital. Typically, digital communications can "travel further for a given watt" because the power is "focused" on a smaller amount of bandwidth. CB can propa

love ESPHome. Someone made an ESPHome driver for my Rheem Water Heater via the M5Stack ESP32 w/ RS485. I primarily use Hubitat rather than HomeAssistant, so I adapted it to Hubitat. I use it to automate my water heater based on my

One thing I didn't see mentioned, assuming you're all on Apple devices: Add your parents as "children" to your iCloud account. That'll let you restrict access to things and reset their password if necessary.

It may not be well known that VMWare Fusion supports this. I run Windows on a Mac Mini functioning as an ESXi server. From my Macbook Pro, I can connect to it with Fusion Pro and attach USB devices to the Windows VM. I use this to program

Tailscale or Zerotier. I recommend this anyway - putting parents' computers on your "local lan".

Thank you for that perspective. I spend a week a month in my airbnb, so it is considered more of my second home than a business. There are photos of my wife and I in the house, and I think the house feels "warmer" for guests be

I spend at least a week a month there. It's more my second home than a full-time business. It is not profitable.

I have a 4.99 rating with almost 100 stays, which seems to be telling me I don’t have a bad rap. In the end, it is my cleaners’ responsibility to leave my house ready for the next guest.

Are we arguing over the difficulty of loading soap and pressing a button? Yes, it would be possible for the cleaner to do it, and I don't negatively review a guest who doesn't. But it makes things much easier if the cleaner can

I pay my cleaners to make sure the home is clean. Simple as that.

If it stops being sustainable, I'll change my policy. I'm willing to change. I'm always revisiting my policies / listing / amenities / etc.

My existing solution does, by asking guests to remove the sheets. Obviously, if no sheets are removed, they would all be cleaned.

First, note that Airbnb shows it "built into the rates" when you put in the number of days you are staying when making a reservation. See this article from 2022: https://www.theverge.com/2022/11/7/2

6 beds (comprising of 4 different sizes of beds/sheets) make it quite wasteful if a bed is not used. It already takes ~5 hours to clean the home.

How am I not honest? The listing shows my cleaning fee and checkout list. Everything is transparent.

by klinquist 3y ago
My cleaners travel 25 mins each way to my remote home and spend 5 hours cleaning. In a hotel, with identical setups in each room, they can do a lot more work in that time. My checkout list is clearly defined in my listing, which is doing g

My existing solution of asking guests to pull the linens off their beds seems to be working great :).

I do go over the reasons in the automated message you receive the night before checkout.

I have 6 beds. Change 6 beds when one is used? Talk about energy use and wear/tear on the linens themselves. Hotels have cleaning "scale" on their side. I'm also operating a large home with a full kitchen, balcony,

Given my airbnb rating and constant positive feedback, I'd say that my existing solution is sufficient.

I'm a host. I charge a $200 cleaning fee and my cleaners charge me $250, so I lose money on cleaning. I ask guests to: * Strip the beds (otherwise, I find that people re-make beds and it's hard to tell if they have been slept in)

As brilliant as Antirez is, he can't get his own valid SSL cert? :)
