It definitely felt less capable recently, I thought I was imagining it, but it was noticeably more difficult to get it to help on tasks that usually aren't so hard.

Just helper functions in our code, very distinct function names, suddenly attempted to get invoked by bingbot as http endpoints.

They’re some helper functions, python, in controller files. And bing started trying to invoke them as http endpoints.

We had private functions in our code suddenly get requested by bingbot traffic…. Had to be from copilot/openai.

We saw an influx of 404 for these invalid endpoints, and they match private function names that weren’t magically guessed..

I got down to about 6% for a bodybuilding show. It was incredible to look at, but also literally painful to bump into any hard surface, to sit on any hard surface, etc. The amount of bony protrusions you have when the body fat is gone is eye opening. I walk around at 10-13% typically, then lean down for summer and shows.

Most people at 30+ lbs further away from 'having abs' than they think. I see it time and time again.

I'm a bit terrified of this as well. I have built a profitable product on the platform, and it were to drastically change or go away, I'd be hosed.

no feedback on this in particular, but I love supabase. I use it for several projects and it's been great.

I was hesitant to use triggers and PG functions initially, but after I got my migrations sorted out, it's been pretty awesome.

I'm curious, what kind of fees are hosts charging? I have a rental condo on AirBNB, our cleaning fee is $180, which is exactly what my cleaning company charges me to perform the clean.

We are hiring an experienced software engineer to join our team, developing software for our inventory management systems. We are a small (but growing) company. The incoming engineer will have a direct impact on our customers and the success of the company. You'll wear a lot of hats, from adding new features, fixing bugs, possibly interfacing with various hardware products, integrating a new front-end library, scaling the server infrastructure, etc.

We seek a smart engineer with broad experience with linux, python, aws, etc. We have some interesting scaling problems to address as well, so experience with concepts of scaling within aws would be a benefit.

Candidate must be within driving distance to come in to the office as needed, but can also work from home.
