> a word for a person with a learning disability (= a condition that can have an effect on someone's ability to learn easily), which was used by doctors in the past but is now extremely offensive
Yes, in that context it's offensive, I agree. But when people use that as a slur they aren't literally talking about or referring to a learning disability so it's a different context
Sorry, but is this a joke?
That doesn't really help anything and just makes the exploit impact even worse since it would be effectively a denial of service
> since it’s safe to assume that prices will continue to rise (and must)
Huh??
> complains like a bitch
That's what you are doing, congratulations
That doesn't even make sense. People use environment variables to store things like API keys for third-party services. How do you expect them to magically rotate or decommission those keys?
In your analogy they can't pump the water out. Now it's up to their users to rotate their keys. How do you expect them to do that sort of thing on behalf of their users?
I assume it's fixed based on it being marked resolved and from what was communicated. Yeah I agree it's a major issue but if it's fixed what they have done so far seems totally fine
Okay so let's just say you are one of those affected users
The founder of the company has already emailed you with details and their support team is around for you to ask any follow-up questions. Also the bug/exploit has been fully fixed
At this point are you saying you would actually be upset and leave because the incident on their status page has been marked as resolved?
So the active incident is now fixed and they've already reached out to impacted customers but they can't mark it as resolved yet because they are still yet to publish a more detailed blog post?
If they fixed the exploit then what do you want them to do? Do they need to wait an arbitrary amount of time before setting it to resolved?
I never use customer support for these types of things unless there is a literal bug or downtime
I don't want to pay for customer support that other incompetent users rely on to function
Is this your first time encountering a freemium business model?
> We've had to change our registration confirmation mails too recently to not confirm on GET only, but with another form - in hindsight it was stupid before but many services do that.
This has been a thing since forever lol
Just imagine what the press would be when somebody breaks that NDA
That doesn't even make sense in this context lol
What did they get wrong? It is natural to have biases. In fact it's necessary to even operate on a day-to-day basis. When you wake up in the morning there's an infinite number of possibilities. It's your past experiences and biases that decide each of your actions going forward.
Lots of end-user API usage is from consumers and small businesses though, like a lot of my business's users
No, surely some feature which is already just using cached input tokens is the secret to their next funding round
Okay maybe in 2010 you could use a CPU but even by 2012 it was entirely dominated by GPUs and I think even dedicated hardware was coming out around that time or soon after
That's why I went with a paper wallet it seemed way simpler which is what you want for something like this
Ah yes that's the one, although the domain name isn't plural
If you were attempting to mine Bitcoin with a PowerBook I can confidently say you mined zero Bitcoin
Edit: I thought he was talking about 2012 but yeah in 2010 CPU mining was still a thing
Aren't you thinking of a hardware wallet?
Back around 2012 I created a paper wallet using an offline website (it was HTML and JS downloaded locally that worked without internet. I put it on a USB stick and then use it in a laptop without internet), printed it out and put it in a safe
Yeah I'd like to see a breakdown because I think there is a huge boom in single person subscriptions that is not sustainable long-term (they will churn high like consumer churn rates, not traditional b2b)
I would just say don't underestimate how many consumer/one person companies/freelancers have a Claude sub right now. Especially with all the AI hype on social media its a real frenzy. Would definitely be interesting to see a breakdown. My company spends way more on the API we integrate into our own app compared to our Claude Code sub costs so that's why I was trying to make the distinction across different API usage
The vast majority of revenue from Claude Code or from their integrating the API in their own apps?
I disagree because with their subscriptions and people using Opus I doubt the majority of users are hitting their limits often so this would just burn compute on their end
