    I've used LLMs enough that I have a good sense of their _edges_ of intelligence. I had assumed that reasoning models should easily be able to answer this correctly. And indeed, Son…

    Hey, I’m on mobile right now and can’t remember this off the top of my head. Will check and update in a few hours.

    Hey, no. We are not dealing with raw card numbers. It’s just a layer on top of the existing stripe SDK that makes using stripe easier. PCI compliance does not kick in here.

    haha yes, it’s definitely a bit of a silly name. The idea is you the user does not have to deal with the webhooks!

    That’s a fair point. But of course, this library also helps with other matters - wallets, credits and a code as config based system which can be quite useful too. And also, if you …

    Well it’s a silly name, yes. _You_ don’t have to deal with webhooks - it happens in the background and is taken care of by the library!

    Great question. Basically, you would change your billing.config.ts and update the price. Then, you run the `sync` command - it matches prices by a composite key: `productId:amount:…

    Yes, this is one of the bigger use-cases for this library. Lots of folks want custom analytics on their Stripe data and this provides a nice way to do just that. Let me know how yo…

    Hi HN, library creator here. I've linked a demo app linked in the post to try this out: https://snw-test.vercel.app > It uses Clerk for auth and Clerk seems to be having problems: …

    Hey Felix, yes you can. This library is simply a wrapper around Stripe with easier implementation and some additional primitives (credits / wallets / real-time usage). So, just as …

    Are you seriously asking why Airport infrastructure should support English or is it rhetorical? If you are not a backwater that doesn't get any travelers, you should cater to touri…

    This is really cool! I suck at organizing my filesystem and I've lost track of how many times I had to find _that ONE_ PDF which I KNOW I have but cannot find! This would have solv…

    Right? This one is also very clear ChatGPTese > That’s not a marginal improvement; it’s a different way of building classifiers. They've replaced an em-dash with a semi-colon.

    Somewhat tangential but I’m curious how people are dealing with these new LLM addons (mcp, extensions for vscode, now CC plugins) at big orgs. I’ve been using it for personal proje…

    Offering a perspective from Berlin - a decent-to-good senior engineer goes for $120k-$130k so I'm guessing for Warsaw, you could get someone similar for $90k-100k

    Really illuminating. Reading the comments, I can't help but think how bad most of us are at predicting the future. While the OP's world might still be somewhat far away, it doesn't…

    I disagree. Sonnet 3.6 (the 2022-10-22 release of Sonnet 3.5) is head and shoulders above GPT-4 and anyone who has been using both regularly can attest to this fact. Reasoning mode…

    This is really cool! Any chance of adding support for the Arc browser? Right now, Chrome allows for some websites (WhatsApp, Spotify, YouTube Music) to be made into "apps" already …

    I've heard Rust is especially hard for LLMs, what with the need to thinking deeply about variable ownership and lifetimes. I wonder if it will work better if you try o1-mini (as lo…
