Try a different email address, that's what fixed it for me.


Sure, that may work; but what does it mean?


I can't speculate that for you. Try reaching out to them if you must know.


When we say open X, we expect something like the Via Negativa principle; instead of inviting members into a closed community, exclude those that violate the code of the open community.


This is false. Any "open" event (or anything, really) can be closed for select individuals.

The reason for this exclusion just can't be a banned criteria such as race.

(I.e. kicking someone out after they've stirred up controversy)

I'm not saying that this happened to you, I'm just addressing the point you made, that anything "open" can't or shouldn't be exclusionary.


Don't do that; use your AI, ask Claude for example


Yes, Yann LeCun posted about it on twitter ~2 weeks ago.

Edit, it was a month ago: https://twitter.com/ylecun/status/1793181068943639014


Was the lite model also tested?


No. I just benchmarked against the API at deepseek.com, which doesn't appear to serve the lite model.


Very nice, I was looking for something like this.

The only feedback I have is that on the frontpage it says "Download any tiktok video" but you support more websites than just tiktok. So maybe add that piece of information :)


>maybe add that piece of information

The faster it gets killed by YouTube


It DEFINITELY needs to mention the other services it can download from. In mobile it only says it's a TikTok downloader, which is what I assumed it was until I came here to read the comments.


Isn't that just what the average spam email these days does? Scrape emails and try to engage in fraud? I'm not saying it's ok but....

It seems kind of a waste of time to hunt one particular instance of this down. I can give you the emails in my spam folder, it's full of these kinds of people.


My 2 cents: you should offer a limited free plan so people can see if it's worth it.


Good idea - the code MONTH1 gives 75% off for the first month as a trial.

Implementing a free plan is a great idea though.


Yeah this is strange. If they are using, lets say $1000 in credits per day, then they will be charged $700 starting tomorrow. Like you said, they might not even see the email yet.


This isn't the case. If they received this email, it was because they were under the included credits amount. This way, even if they missed the email, they will have six months and we will continue to follow up. If you have a sponsorship, feel free to reach out to me and we can talk about it.


Russia often bans entire websites and IP ranges, making it harder for non-tech people to get certain software.

Mozilla was likely hoping that nobody from the West would notice that they complied and removed the addons.

Just goes to show you how all those "values" they stand for only matter when it doesn't make them lose any users.


>"In alignment with our commitment to an open and accessible internet, Mozilla will reinstate previously restricted listings in Russia," the group declared. "Our initial decision to temporarily restrict these listings was made while we considered the regulatory environment in Russia and the potential risk to our community and staff.


Translation: "We hoped it would go quietly and not ruffle anybody's feathers, but it got a real lot of bad press, and we aren't ready to sacrifice so much for Putin's pleasure, so we are rolling it back".


If I got a nastygram from the Kremlin I sure would spend some time figuring out if they have some leverage over me before I openly opposed it.


You're throwing out a speculative guess as to why they did something and using it as evidence to judge their actions


Is it about values or just complying with local government laws/demands?

If a western company for example bans sci-hub access because of US/EU demands then HN will be mostly, this is complying with local laws.


Eh, more likely a support person saw a government request and assumed it was something, something, court ordered take down and complied and forwarded it to the lawyer. Lawyer and CEO saw the press coverage and expedited the return.


Didn't this happen in April?

Edit: Yes it did, https://github.com/XuezheMax/megalodon


From the article:

> The EPA just announced stricter rules on ethylene oxide that would require commercial sterilizing outfits to dramatically reduce emissions.


More communist interference in the "free market". This would never have happened if Trump was president.
