Oof

Same, there was always very specific wording we had to use unless legal approved an exact number or scope.

Matrix also found that Claude was AB testing 4.6 vs 4.7 in production for the last 12 days.

I think it's time to have previous titles show as a edit * icon that can show the previous title.

This is not the first time where the more neutral (which imo is better) has caused me to be confused why everyone is saying something different in the comments.

That's probably too much ceremony for HN but petercooper made a really nice HN title edit tracker which is probably still running. Let me see if I can dig it up for you...

Very interesting, I wonder if this is some of the issues people were seeing

They haven't also worked at a company where the meetings have MRR said like every 4 seconds. I'm so jealous of them

I'm jealous of you, like seriously, you somehow haven't worked at a company where a C suite says MRR like every 5th sentence in meeting.

I decided to look at their website halfway through the post,

This is really what 10k mrr can get you? A badly designed AI slop website that isn't even mobile correctly compatible. The logo is white background on black website like a university project.

I can't believe that people are willingly spending money on this.

You'd be surprised at the amounts household name companies spend on broken software. I've personally seen multiple companies spend tens of thousands paying just for the opportunity to evaluate the broken software. And I don't mean the time taken for their own employees to spend doing the evaluation. I mean that plus forking over large piles of cash.

I have worked with healthcare clients paying gobs of money to completely broken sites that they have to call support about twice a week. I don't pretend to know why people spend money on things anymore.

I completely disagree, this is just another level of safety.

If everything went perfectly everytime we wouldn't need any safety equipment, but things aren't always perfect.

Or the simpler answer, their db/email list has been compromised.

I find the first option far simpler.

The simplest answer is they are voluntarily being scum and selling user data to make a quick buck. It’s almost universally true.

> It’s almost universally true.

It’s not. I give a unique email address to every service I register with, which means I can see who is leaking my email address. Very few of them leak my email address at all, and those that do tend to do so involuntarily through data breaches.

The other main factors in spam are the sleazeballs at Apollo, ZoomInfo, et al., services that use my email address internally for more than I consented (if I use my email address to register for a service, this does not permit that service to add me to their product mailing list), and the spammers who guess email addresses based on LinkedIn info (e.g. name + company domain).

The number of services who appear to take an email address I have given them and sell it appear to be extremely rare.

If you dont mind, What kind of unique email address do you use and how do you manage all the aliases?

There’s no real management involved. I set up a wildcard MX record for *.example.com and hand out jim@<some-id>.example.com whenever anything needs my email address. I don’t need to specifically set up an alias. If spam comes in, I look at the To address to determine where they obtained my email address. Fastmail can be configured this way, for instance.

Most mail providers also support plus addresses or wildcard local parts, so you can do jim+<some-id>@example.com or just <some-id>@example.com. Gmail supports plus addresses, for instance. The downside is that some services reject pluses and some spammers strip out the IDs.

I do the same, and seem to have a much higher hit rate (or a much lower acceptable baseline!)

>and selling user data to make a quick buck

Are there actually companies that will pay you $$$ for a list of emails?

Not exactly, but plenty will just sell everything to data brokers.

>but plenty will just sell everything to data brokers.

Again, "sell" implies that there's some company where they'll accept data from anyone and pay them for it, which so far as I can tell doesn't exist. That's not to say there's no selling going on. The fact that data brokers exist means they do, but that doesn't mean every business is in a position to "sell" data.

My boss has paid many people for lists of email addresses in the past.

Im pretty sure he is not a mythical being!
