Would there be rate limiting applied for these / IP banned if used for web automation tasks? Is this treated as a bot by when visiting other websites?
What kind of API is it? Curious if it's a common problem that the AI was able to solve?

Re:Cursor 1.0 on Thursday June 05, 2025 @08:29AM (#44191013)
I've been using Cursor since they merged with Supermaven, but I'm concerned with how they handle controversial feedback on their subreddit.

Recently, there was a post with detailed evidence suggesting Cursor was intentionally throttling requests [1], including reverse engineering and reproducible behaviors. The team initially responded with a "happy to follow up", but later removed their replies that got downvoted, and banned the OP from posting further updates.

Their response sounded AI-generated too, which wasn't very surprising based on the way they handle customer support [2]. I wish they were more open to criticism instead of only claiming to be transparent.

Ask HN: How do you manage your LinkedIn connections?

I have been seeing some LinkedIn profiles with hundreds of new connections every week. Are they using automation tools to achieve this, or is it all done manually?If they are using automation, how do they manage to avoid the limits or restrictions? For those who connect manually, do you only send requests to people you personally know or find interesting?
