didn't the underlying API they built upon ramp up their pricing and effectively price them out?
like a precursor to reddit's own API pricing changes that made it hard for 3rd party clients to compete.
The saving grace with these API wrappers is that local models being a thing can still let them hedge against the underlying AI labs eating up their stack.

It appears the individual was unable to distinguish a display name from the actual email address (common phishing tactic of having something like [email protected] as the email display name while the actual email address is a random throwaway). [1]
Good reminder to use a password manager as well (as it would also catch the 'npnjs' typo squatted domain too).
Similar incident happened to the HIBP guy who mentioned ignoring the password manager safeguards due to being half asleep while on the plane.
Also keep in mind you can disable install scripts in npm from running (if you happen to not do your development in an isolated environment) via configuring your .npmrc with
> ignore-scripts=true
Stay safe out there

> 2. They support premium domains, so you can be struck by lightning and randomly have the price of your domains dramatically jacked up (had to drop a domain due to this).
Do you have an example of this as it is against ICANN's rules IIRC.
The only instances I have seen about this were the posts here on HN when someone didn't read the registration price being at a discount compared to the renewal price thereafter.
If there is of course a legitimate instance of reclassification into a premium domain after the fact, you have a big case on your hands.

You might be interested in Linen to make your discord (and slack) searchable outside of the walled garden (can also use to archive too).

> An eggcorn is a soundalike though, isn't it?
Not necessarily, you might be thinking of malapropisms but yes probably a closer word would be the general term: protologism.
Another commenter added some useful info on the evocative alteration of metaphors [2]

What you are describing is also known as an eggcorn.

If the worst is a public mea culpa and following the agreements you should've done in the first place, that barely seems like a deterrent to infringe the license.
Might as well create a crawler bot on github and slurp up all the GPL/AGPL for your new AI-coding startup, iterate fast, make profit, then pay a pittance in legal fees and a small "We're sorry".

> I also see nothing to make this name make sense
Last time this was brought up it was just referencing the fact both "git" and "dolt" refer to variations of calling someone a dimwit.
It's like if you come across a project called "dunce" that is "git for X" or whatever tagline you imagine.
For context this discussion from 2 years ago probably might be worth reading[1]

I am in agreement with what you are saying.
> and if the spirit of HN is to judge without facts - then I apologize.
Although snarky, I am sure you would appreciate if HN doesn't devolve into sensationalist titles such as: "PHP sucks" ad nauseam since there are plenty of social media networks that get flooded with titles like that already.
Just as we (the audience) in good faith read and judge based off of the merits of the article's content - one could also argue that an author should treat the audience with similar courtesy of not needing to:
> misleading (purposely, because it attracts interest)
Not saying this applies to this article since in my subjective view I didn't find the title misleading or egregious.

> The titles are misleading (purposely, because it attracts interest)
I am neutral to this conversation but thought you might not want to justify this point as it is against the spirit of HN. Specifically in the guidelines:
> Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.
Which would give the submitter permission to change the title to something more substantive.

Cloudflare's domain management has sadly also had some questionable actions/decisions.

While I use and enjoy their other services, I would advice taking this incident into consideration about their registrar services that "prevents transfer-out of domains, sets to 'pendingdelete'"

I'm not the person you replied to but just dropping this here for others interested:
There are some 'open-back' and 'open-ear' headphones that let you hear your environment passively.
Others that have more active environment passthrough such as Ambient Sound from Samsung, also exist.
This might be a useful gift for a cyclist or jogger that needs situational awareness.

For anyone else curious on pricing, saving you a click
> Please contact sales for pricing details.
It is in the preview stage so perhaps that's why.
Here is a link to Lee Robinson saying they will do better to be more transparent with future releases.
> Agree with the feedback we should have mentioned the base up front, we will do that for the next model!
