Same! I worked on SNO’s neutral current detectors at LANL (as a student so mostly grunt work). Which project?

For posterity: Through a bit of engineering work and better anomaly management, I’ve been able to get the platform fee down to 5%! I’m quite proud of this as there’s a lot of moving parts. In time I’ll probably be able to get it lower too w

Full details on the permissions we request from GitHub are present here: https://app.clevercrow.io/github-access . Regarding bank access, all financial transactions are handled by Stripe in an incredibly conventional manner.

I've got a couple good docs in the footer of www.clevercrow.io that will answer the token stuff. GitHub app integration for all repo interaction. Yep, backers can target specific issues or entire repos, their choice.

I hear you. I'm trying to balance the needs of backers and builders and it's admittedly a tough one. 20% is too high and I'll be adjusting that. The numbers I'm getting from usage today are really helpful in calibrating,

100% expected, in fact, desired (maintainers should be/are in charge). My goal is to create enough surface area that backers see their tokens going to many of the things they care about, not necessarily all.

Well then, I'm hoping it's more of a San Junipero/Hang the DJ episode where good stuff happens by the end. I think there's a trust continuum that culminates at giving money no strings attached, but it starts somewhere el

Probably an oversight on my part. I was thinking that backers would find out about CleverCrow through the project maintainers so the public pages are repo specific. As an aside, when you do login, CleverCrow shows projects that you've

While I definitely like the Patreon for Software Builders idea, that's got some moving pieces which take additional legal work. My hope is that could come in time as it would be really cool. Regarding rewarding maintainer effort, I&#x2

NEW ACHIEVEMENT! ;)

Yeah, rising token costs definitely played into my thinking too. I want builders to be able to use the best models and it seems like they are getting more expensive. But maybe local models will get there?

Howdy Solar_Fields, these are great questions and I can give you my thoughts on how I feel it's different than cash donations (which are great if you can get them!). I look at this less like patronage and more an exchange of a resource

I'm working on https://www.clevercrow.io , Community-funded coding agents for builders. I'll be posting a Show HN soon, but the idea is to let the communities around GitHub repos fund the specific issues they care about

So you believe that you are in control?
17.
by zhubert 7mo ago
Yep. I agree. I’m assuming that the best model for coding is always six months advanced ahead for the investors. Even with that assumption, there’s a huge democratization effect. I’ve never seen a tool more accessible for people of all back

Yes. If they want to understand the author they should spend time with the author (via the books). I didn’t draw the original premise. I just pointed out that they didn’t understand the Dark Forest. At all.

And yes, Greg was 100% about grappling with the nuances. One of the smartest men I’ve known. We had an awesome book club talking about historical sci-fi and modernity. He always saw the optimistic side, how humanity could conquer, but I, ch

This sort of low effort post, we can all recognize right? Read the book series. Battle with a culture different than your own. The absolute depression by the third book helps you experience this more than this bullshit Cliff’s notes. Spend

The challenging thing for those of us that have gone around the sun a few times is that…you’re just going to have to figure it out yourself. We can tell you to be cautious or aware of security bullshit, but there’s a current that’s buying M

Not quite. Cixin Liu’s series had a premise of dramatic asymmetry. AI in our context is the inverse. Everyone can spend “credits” to get a supergenius coder.

AI only improves and changes. Embrace the scientific method and make sure your “here’s how to” are based in data.

I can’t believe I’m responding to an AOL article, but… You don’t understand what’s happening if you dismiss the leverage provided by AI as “vibe coding”.

I'm trying to bring a slightly different take to the pricing of ShipItAI ( https://shipitai.dev , brazen plug). I've got a $5/mo/active dev + Bring Your Own Key option for those that want better price controls.

That may well be the reason now, but they were never cost effective in my time. They were representative of an ethos the company wanted to promulgate. Built a few desks. Got a door desk award (not for my sub par carpentry).

Well this was an interesting thread to see pop up. Hi, I'm Zack, I was a Sr. Unix Administrator at AMZN in 1999 and worked alongside very talented folks like snovotny, lamont, yvette, grabatin, gborle, jamison, craig, and so many other
