Pretty cool. I've downloaded and lightly tested. Works great. I love the "free forever, no ads part..." But it obscures what the app is for. Maybe start with the "Speech to text transcription" to make it clearer. Ei

They are spamming other websites with links to my website like in your example. Google crawl those other websites, follow the spammy link to mine, and I get penalized for having a page with spam content. The solution is to tell the crawler

I know this will sound a bit cynical, but I've stopped putting too much care into my employer's product. I'll deliver work and perform my best, but I'm not killing myself over it. I've built viable products where I

AI reminds me of the time Google+ was being shoved down our throats. If you randomly clicked on more that 7 hyperlinks on the internet, you'd magically sign up for google plus. Around that time, one of my employer's website had ad

I have been using zipbombs and they were effective to some extent. Then I had the smart idea to write about it on HN [0]. The result was a flood of new types of bots that overwhelmed my $6 server. For ~100k daily request, it wasn't sus

I had to revisit my strategy after posting about my zipbombs on HN [0]. My server traffic went from tens of thousands to ~100k daily, hosted on a $6 vps. It was not sustainable. Now I target only the most aggressive bots with zipbombs and t

Most companies using AI are just paying for a subscription. They aren't actually building LLMs or other machine learning applications that take over a known task. You could easily replace the term AI with just subscription. When they s

I can assure you, the original prompt was pretty well written and would have been received well. Don't let LLMs easy of use distract you from your own ability to write and get a point across.

I wrote a similar article (not published yet), but my conclusion was "Free GPUs for everyone" or at least cheap ones. Right now H100 are very specialized for the AI pipeline, but so were GPUs before the AI boom. I expect we will f
