We're seeing gpt-4o perform worse than gpt-4-turbo across the board, especially when it comes to hallucinations.
Not sure why this is not discussed, but
@OpenAI
clearly shipped an inferior model that's cheaper and faster.

Link by Stripe is low-key crushing it.
I knew it was doing well but seeing 12/20 of recent payments powered by Link is something. Also it looks like they just grabbed link .com which shows they're serious about this. 👀

I made my first dollar writing a 300-words article for someone on DigitalPoint forums.
My account dates back to 2007, so I was like 12 or something.
Some people remember their first dollar more than their first love I suppose 😂
Seeing people make their first dollar while doing things they love is one of the best parts of working at BMC💜
Congratulations Kiara and

Apple rejected our app for not adding ‘Sign in with Apple.’
Ended up removing our Facebook login to get it approved.
This is not right, and thank you
@benthompson

@dhh
for doing your thing!
I have now heard from multiple developers, both big and small, that over the last few months Apple has been refusing to update their app unless their SaaS service adds in-app purchase. If this has happened to you please email me blog @ my site domain. 100% off the record.

When we launched this product, it was

on ProductHunt - but no real volume/usage for over 3 mo.
We considered shutting it down to focus on the core product.. then it started picking up. Today it make up for nearly half the volume :)
sometimes it’s a good idea to wait ☕️
🤑 We can use COFFEE LINKS to SELL.
