Agreed, OpenAI and Anthropic want to get as close to the user as possible. Browser is used more often than a specific website or standalone desktop app and much less work than an entire OS. Raycast also seems well positioned but perhaps more niche.

Perhaps Atlassian was sitting on cash and needed to make some bets. If you can build a big enough user base for a browser it can earn handsomely from AdWords type referral fees. Look at what Google pays Apple to be default on Safari and how much referral spend Chrome recouped for Google etc. Maybe Atlassian will try and promote Dia to its customer base and look to launch more AI type commercial product discovery experiences like Perplexity Shopping.

Posts laden with cynicism are always popular on HN. Gets boring after a while. Was hoping for a more measured take on a genuine issue like this.

Am not money conscious in that regard. Own a full suite of Apple products and have no issue paying the premium for them.

The issue is with the intentional misleading of people to think their device is slowing down when they just need a battery replacement. At Apple’s scale it’s significant and dishonest towards its customers.

This is great! Congrats and thanks for sharing your work! People have been asking for dark mode for years. This has it and so many other nice UI improvements too. Well done!

Linear.app is awesome. We switched from Jira and our team's participation on issues went through the roof. It's fast, clean, has keyboard shortcuts and replaces agile terminology with simpler, familiar paradigms. We activated Slack, Sentry and GitLab integrations too. It's a beautiful piece of software to use and part of the reason we chose it was to inspire ourselves to try build something of similar quality in our own domain. Seriously, it's that good.

I've also used Redmine a few years ago. It gets the job done but nowhere near as slick and fun to use.

I think this is going to be the natural side-effect. I remember seeing Monzo posting salary ranges of £40k - £100k for certain positions. So for the right person they'll make a plan but they can also lure in more candidates and low-ball them when making an offer at the end of the process.

> Maybe ultimately you open up spam fighting to your users. If you managed this well, you could harness a lot of energy.

Doesn't Google already consider that if a user returns to the results page (or clicks a second link) then the first link visited was not satisfactory. Seems like a pretty elegant solution.

I see, so the it's likely that a generic URL pattern (like your example) was accidentally included in their caching rules.

I guess I didn't think of that originally because I thought if you wanted to cache some kind of response data like this, why on earth would you use a generic URL? But perhaps they probably didn't intend to cache this endpoint.

The blog post doesn't say much more than the headline. I'm curious about the specifics of what could of actually happened here.

In my limited experience working with CDNs wouldn't you just cache the responses of unique URLs and have some sort of cookie check at the edge before serving it.

So my own app would request something like /api/account?id=123 with my own id in there.

How would you end up getting other people's data in your app if your app only calls that unique URL?

https://linear.app actually looks pretty cool. Real-time sync, keyboard shortcuts, clean UI, dark mode and a quick action CLI thing.
