Neat product. Small thing on the demo: perhaps using Stripe in the demo isn't the most effective choice. Stripe surely has already A/B tested the heck out of their landing page; "Financial Infrastructure for the Internet" is (IMO) an incredibly strong tag line for the hero text. The alternatives generated by your tool pale in comparison.

Perhaps it would be more effective to put a lower-quality landing page in as your demo. Off the top of my head, something like https://www.intuit.com/ might work. Their existing tag line is "The global financial technology platform that gives you the power to prosper". Doesn't mean much to me - I'm sure your tool could give me some better options, which would serve much better for a demo.

Who's going to build the cluster? Who's going to operate it? Who's going to decide how time/access gets allocated? Are results of compute going to be in the public domain?

Given the glacial speed of government products, will the cluster be using obsolete tech by the time its finally up and running?

Token-based pricing gives me a bit of anxiety. Concern that'll never use them, or that I'll use them too quickly.

Any thoughts on a pricing model where I pay an upfront cost, but get to generate images locally on my own machine?

I assume you're quoting ~$20M based on a search like this: https://www.google.com/search?q=weird+al+net+worth

Every one of those pages is absolute bunk with made up numbers. They're trying to drive clicks. Take a look at any of them and you'll notice quite quickly that they never cite any source.

This is fantastic. Thanks for the link.

Always frustrating to purchase a book, read the first page, and immediately realize that it really isn't my style.

Are there any recommendation engines like this that also allow filtering by books included in Kindle Unlimited?

I ran the 'create a snake' game example using the paper's source at https://github.com/geekan/MetaGPT

The creation process used 11,940 tokens on input and 2,993 tokens on output, which cost $0.35 and $0.18, respectively.

The game it generated consisted of four python classes in four separate files: Main, Game, Snake, and Food.

The game executed without error on the first try, but the snake wasn't able to 'eat' the food. Here's the relevant code for 'eating' food:

    # Check if the snake ate the food
    if self.snake.body[0] == self.food.position:
        self.score += 1
        self.snake.grow()
        self.food.generate()

The issue was that the snake's body was represented as a list of lists, whereas the food position was stored in a tuple. After changing the food position to a list, the game worked correctly.

I suspect shills are aware that people like yourself are looking for negative reviews.

Example: https://old.reddit.com/r/eero/comments/mk0l1w/eero_vs_orbi/

This entire thread dumps on Orbi Wifi devices and praises Eero. Maybe Orbi is inferior to Eeero, but the one-sidedness of the discussion is a bit unsettling.

The top comment was created by a poster who almost exclusively posts on the /r/eero subreddit over the span of one year. Many of their comments are specifically in praise of Eero devices.

I was three years deep into my engineering degree before learning that many of my peers would attend office hours regularly. I was shocked. Like you, I was under the impression that you only attended office hours if you missed a lecture or something similar. I had always assumed "I don't get it" wasn't a valid reason for bugging the instructor.

Use consistent tenses between bullet points. All other bullet points are written in past tense, but this one is written in the infinitive. Should be 'Built'.
