I actually agree with the hosts here that the guests should clean after themselves after they leave. That should be the bare minimum. I don’t use Airbnb regularly but that last times I did I cleaned because it’s a personal residential property that belongs to someone and you need to respect it.
As a landlord I expect my tenants to leave the unit spotless after they move out. I actually expect my tenants to pay a cleaning company so they clean for them and show proof of receipt. Otherwise I’m deducting the costs of deep cleaning from their security deposit.
I set my expectations very clearly in the lease agreement
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Airbnb guests are charged separate cleaning fees to cover professional turnover cleaning by hosts. Long-term residential tenants return units allowing normal wear and tear under state laws, with deposits for excess damage only.

You're in the hospitality business, not the paying-off-my-mortgage-without-consequences-or-inconvenience business.

Confirmed that 3090 unlock is successful
with 360watt power wall, I got 75T -> 135T (measured in Pytorch)
Which is insane

abliterated/low-refusal models are interesting from a competitive perspective because even if they lag frontier by a few months on most dimensions, they’ll do things fable or astra *won’t* which is very literally a capability advantage
gcs right now are filled with people sharing their deploys to harden their own software. they’re not using astra and fable. devs hate applying for access. talk to sales or safety is…well they route around that
