tried testing it with my ios app but got: "The selected XXX build (com.XX.XX) cannot be installed because it is incompatible with the hosted iOS simulator. No XXX behavior could be tested."

would be great to have more details about whats not compatible, I assume iOS version? app requires 27

> This is also the basis for exercise - your muscles and tendons are damaged when you work out, but they get rebuilt stronger

This is an outdated view, evidence shows muscle/tendon growth/adaptation occurs primarily via mechanical tension and metabolic stress, with damage playing a minimal or even counterproductive role. hypertrophy happens despite it, not because of it.

clearly the error is in the number, most likely the actual value is 5.0 instead of 50.0 which matches the bar height and also the other single digit GPT-5 results for metrics on the same chart
What a train wreck, there are thousand more apps in store that do exactly this because its the easiest way to use openAI without having to host your own backend/proxy.

I have spend quite some time protecting my apps from this scenario and found a couple of open source projects that do a good job as proxys (no affiliation I just used them in the past):

- https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm - https://github.com/KenyonY/openai-forward/tree/main

but they still lack other abuse protection mechanism like rate limitting, device attestation etc. so I started building my own open source SDK - https://github.com/brahyam/Gateway

Re:Ask HN: Cursor or Windsurf? on Monday May 12, 2025 @04:27AM (#43960777)
Cursor. Good price, the predictive next edit is great, good enough with big code bases and with the auto mode i dont even spend all my prem requests.

I've tried VScode with copilot a couple of times and its frustrating, you have to point out individual files for edits but project wide requests are a pain.

My only pain is the workflow for developing mobile apps where I have to switch back and forth between Android Studio and Xcode as vscode extensions for mobile are not so good

Re:LLMs as Unbiased Oracles on Sunday May 04, 2025 @05:44PM (#43889842)
The amount of time it would take to write the formal spec for the code I need is more than it would take to generate the code so doesn't sound like something that will go mainstream. Except for those industries where formal code specs are already in place.
Could you share any good resources for someone to start brewing it? Or any tips?

If you don't mind sharing. What's the position title that you got/were searching for?.

I live in Berlin and I've never seen even a 6 figure senior software engineer position.

Wow! I was really into it right until the end. What an amazing imagination. Thanks for putting that together and sharing your creativity.
I believe this incident has been happening for more than 30 mins. I've had problems with gradle pipelines failing without reason for at least the last 6 hours

As a Venezuelan and victim of Maduro's constant anti imperialist propaganda I strongly believe the operation gedeon is just a fake. If the US would like to remove Maduro from power I don't think they would send 30 poorly trained, barely equipped men, from which the grand majority didn't even have military experience to disembark in one of the most popular coasts of Venezuela just a few kilometers from a navy base.

> looking at the companies who buy Google AdWords on their own brand - if someone's searching for your brand on Google your website will already be the top result - a click on the ad is not a true "conversion" in this case and is just wasted money

Could be a true conversion given that all competitors are paying adwords on your brand name search also. If you don't have them you will probably appear after a long list of competitors with really personalized clickbait titles prompting your customers to compare you with them

Re:How to validate your startup idea quickly on Friday July 24, 2020 @04:00AM (#23936905)
I've done this before, it also appears clearly described in the "Start small stay small book" which I recommend a lot. However after running it I found myself a little lost, conversion was not as expected and it's very hard to realize what failed. Is it the idea? or the design? or the speed of the website? or the wrong target audience? or the wrong keywords?.

More importantly should I jump to my next idea? or should I invest more time pivoting this one and pushing until I get where I want to be.

What happens when you're building an improved version of something that already exist? Would you skip this kind of validation assuming that if people pay for the big product they would pay for a small one? Specially if you're not aiming for a venture backed monster but just a bootstrapped small business.

Re:Ask HN: What's your latest failed side project and why? on Sunday February 23, 2020 @05:02PM (#22399843)
Hey!, tried Webase and looks very good. While testing it I found something that could be a bug?. I created a new app, and a new table with just one string field, and then whenever I create a new row it gets added twice. (Name of the app/table is Test App/Robot). Keep it up!
