They should add testing from different ips and account countries, that would be fun too see that Americans are getting different models for example

I think text interface sucks, but at the same time I like how Claude code solve that with questionnaires, I think that’s the most elegant solution to get a lot of valuable context from users in a fast way

Well, previously people have spent countless hours on routines. Nowadays the biggest blocker for progress in the companies are (the lack of) well defined strategy and good planing. Companies pay money to retain the talent that they would need right after they figure out what's the priority right now.

Interesting, I’ve tried checkbot recently and it failed to do any cloudflare gated website, even 1 page. But maybe I’m on the old version

How cool! I didn’t expect it will end up with ZK proofs that I was curious about for a long time. (After reading it I still don’t quite get the details of how they are working tho)

Kudos for creating checkbot! Saved me hours at some point and we were a paying customers for long.

Thank you for listening to my therapy session.

Making me a good problem solver and solutions seller but unable to pass a single interview in my whole life .

Also I feel like everyone around went through the more fulfilled kinds of learnings and know subjects in depth, while I was just learning what I needed.

I consider myself an autodidact, but over the years learning became so hard mentally. Feels like my attention span shortened and I’m unable to sit on some problem for long

Humans can also autonomously hack websites. Just saying.

That's the thing I was struggling with, I can solve many of problems for the avg company – but I don't know how to solve a leetcode problem. I bet there aren't as many companies solving the complex problems on a scale.

But if we look from the perspective of the company – maybe it's just an filter to get someone very dedicated and nerdy about programming. Less churn, less questions.

Very clever solution! Would be cool to add a color coding of the time, maybe same way as Apple does sun position in the weather app. So when you scroll time you can see where of all these places the sun is still up.

The website led me to a Wikipedia article with a list of cognitive biases.

That was fun, thank you.

Sounds like a lab I was born for.

I think there’s a big group of individuals out there that are misfits both for regular jobs and science. Entrepreneur-ish generalists.

It was great to look through. I think a cool lens for this dataset would be the date of repository creation.

I’m particularly interested in tools that emerged during last year for example. Since there are many of the very old monsters in the list.
