Zuck's bot increased our Vercel bill 10x
I’m writing this after receiving a Vercel bill that was 10x higher than usual.The worst part: The increase wasn’t caused by more users, but by +1M requests from meta-externalagent/1.1.The requests targeted a Vercel preview deployment that we had shared on WhatsApp to test whether its link-preview metadata was working correctly.We naively never bothered with bot calls; they had never caused any problems in the previous four years of our app on Vercel, but that changed when Meta’s crawler beg

Show HN: Open-source revenue recognition and analytics for Stripe and Metronome
Hi HN,I’m Tanin. For about four years, I worked on the Revenue Recognition and Analytics teams at Stripe. Today, I'm open-sourcing Book of Revenue, a self-hosted revenue engine and drop-in alternative to Stripe Revenue Recognition (with optional support for Metronome).### The Problem:Most founders track MRR or cash collected in Stripe and assume that reflects revenue. But cash collected isn't revenue, and MRR isn't an accounting metric. Once you hit scale, raise institutional capi

Show HN: Rate.fm – Letterboxd for Music, on iPhone and the Web
I made rate.fm because every “Letterboxd for music” app sucked. I tried RYM (still 2004), AOTY (a charts website), and Musicboard (dying). I just wanted a fast diary where I could log what I heard, give it a number, write a little, and see what friends thought.The app lets you rate albums and songs out of 10, write reviews, make lists, and follow friends. We aggregate scores from 19 publications (Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, NME, AllMusic, The Guardian) and show them on the pages as well. Connect A

Show HN: GSL – I wanted to describe the architecture, not just draw it
I built GSL because I got fed up of building architecture diagrams that couldn't quite capture all of the nuance of the real world. I liked the idea of using a system like Mermaid or PlantUML to represent my systems but there was never really a satisfactory way of describing what was happening.I liked the easy-to-follow syntax of those diagramming tools but they very quickly ran into limitations. When you describe an API gateway component, you can't really say that it belongs in a spec
Ask HN: Are requests/demands coming from AI companies for regulation genuine?
Lately I have been hearing a lot of people from AI companies asking for regulation and expressing fear on AI's capabilities. Are these genuine, or do they now realize that there is a financial bubble and they are trying to deflate it a bit?It seems that it is too late for regulation to kick in. It has to be an international body and it will take forever to come to a consensus and give this body some teeth. On the other hand, if the growth is exponential, it is not surprising that you notice
