protein

Probably that it's a soft food and so is easier to eat when you have no appetite. Protein isn't that relevant.

The business traveler who is less price sensitive and almost always books a solo itinerary.

> less price sensitive

As a business traveler I actually want the price to be as high as possible while satisfying the company rules on airfare. The fare is fully reimbursed, so a higher fare means I get more points on my credit card.

Now the company rules on airfare will probably reference something like the least-cost logical fare. So it is in a business traveler's interest for all airlines to raise prices simultaneously.

Business travel is weird.

It's a shame this is so far down the page (at least for me, at this moment) because I'm fairly certain you are exactly right.

HN comments vote need more than 40 minutes to stabilize

It's also literally in the article itself:

"It's just another way for airlines to continue 'segmenting' their customers, charging business travelers paying with a corporate card more while offering a better deal to families on the exact same flight."

All my solo flights over the last year were wedding related. That is probably a huge cash cow for the airline and hotel industry. The hotel is basically never full even with the hotel block so it is probably a very welcome cash infusion for them at an otherwise sleepy locale.

Maybe consciousness is just what lives in the floating-point annoyances

Not really possible. The models work fine once you fix them, it's just making sure you account for batching and concurrency's effect on how floating point gives very (very) slightly different answers based on ordering and grouping and etc.

Go Bills!

If only we could figure out how to buffalo the Chiefs in the playoffs…

Half of those games you win if the Chiefs don't get ridiculously beneficial calls.

I use croissant to cross post on social media accounts but I never use the services themselves to read any content. I’m screaming into the void and I’m fine with it.

Interesting. Do SM companies have an API that allows croissant to do its work? Or do they use unofficial means?

Can we also get the other direction, i.e. scrape posts from SM platforms and implement our own (non-toxic) feed algorithms?

Sure, in the same way SaaS companies are just thin wrappers on top of databases and the open web.

You will find that a disproportionately large amount of work and innovation in an AI product is in the backing model (GPT, Mixtral, etc.). While there's a huge amount of work in databases and the open web, SaaS products typically add a lot more than a thin API layer and a shiny website (well some do but you know what I mean)

I'd argue the comment before you is describing accessibility, features, and services -- yes, the core component has a wrapper, but that wrapper differentiates the use.

Don’t give Elon any ideas

I think twitter is where it was first used, actually. They stopped after a while, but from what I read, it was a code you got before hitting your API limit. (iirc, you got a 417/429 error when you ran out)

I use ChatGPT (4) to generate a lot of unit tests. The prompt is usually no more complicated than “Write comprehensive unit tests using <insert testing framework here> for this” and then I paste in the class/function to test

Nearly 20 years ago I was out to dinner with my girlfriend and who is sitting at the table next to us other than Kurt Vonnegut. He took a liking to my companion and basically pulled our table over to his as we listened to him regale us with stories. The man lived.

I can't say if he was universally nice, but on that night he was nice, charming, and a pleasure to eat dinner with.

Fought with getting a nice workflow with the cli that supports MFA. I got it working and wrote it up here. https://www.nicks.io/simplifying-using-the-aws-cli-with-mfa/
