Never worn.

My theory for why "San Fran" is looked down upon is that the person saying it is perceived as making a claim to status: 'I am so cool and hip that I am on familiar terms with "San Fran".'

But shortening San Francisco to San Fran is both very obvious, and betrays a cheap attempt at sophistication that the soul of SF rejects.

SF feels like a transitory city as multiple successive waves of people drift in and out. That also contribute to why a shibboleth like this gets a lot of airtime. The episode probably recurs weekly in bars all over the city as someone who's just moved here calls it "San Fran", only to be corrected by someone who's been here for just a little longer.

A couple of results that I was convinced of, and then memorized without also memorizing the proofs:

A perfect computer would only need to do "work", in the entropic sense, when it deletes information. Of course we're orders of magnitude away from these theological limits right now and computing today is very hot and very gross.

Reversible Computing is the ability to compute a function without actually deleting, or otherwise confusing the states of your program. In theory you could run the program backwards, deterministically, and return your input. Reversible computing could be implemented on a theoretical "cold" computing substrate to not require any loss of energy.

One fundamental problem with the schema this author decides is how to separate the running of the program from it's output. Essentially this has wired the cpu % load to stdout. Naively, you'll start to leak output in arbitrary programs. You could be clever and specifically cap "computation" below 50% and output above it, but then I'd argue that you're just using your CPU as an output device.

I'm happy for you! Some feedback as I walk through the app.

I like the styling, it's really slick. I also like that you enable me to use the tool online without signing up. I was curious about how you're supporting this, and paying for inference, but I see now that you haven't really wired up anything. When I try to generate my 1pager, it returns a placeholder.

> Turn your messy ideas...

I'm not a fan of this framing. Messy has negative connotations, so it's not clear why you're insulting me when we just met. ;)

The wizard:

There's a bit of duplication, since you have "Tell the agent..." as well as "Tell me...", both conveying the same information.

I can jump through steps without competing prior ones. Isn't that going to cause a problem?

It's hard to truly evaluate this further without seeing it in action. As other authors have said, many agents already support Plan Mode, so it it's important for you to distinguish yourself from that.

Thanks for the response! I have wired it up...it's using gpt-5-mini. I just have API-level usage limits - I figured if it hit those, I could worry about how to adjust costs, rate limit, etc.

The jumping through steps is not intended - that's a regression.

I agree on plan mode - this one is just a lot more featured. I should include some samples to demonstrate that. Here's an example, if you're interested, of the prompt plan output - https://github.com/benjaminshoemaker/data_graph_gap_report/b...

Hey there, I changed the messy framing. Hope you like it!

I also fixed the wizard text, I agree.

I also fixed the step jumping.

Would love to hear your feedback if you try it again with the fixes in place :)

I'm honestly not sure how you got the "turn your messy ideas" placeholder - how did you get to that?

I think the "messy ideas" was a reference to the homepage copy "Turn your messy ideas into crystal clear specs.", not continuing the previous thought about the placeholder. I'd agree that "messy" might have more negative connotations than you intended.

Interesting, fair though. I think of my own ideas that way, but maybe not everyone does!

Bumping for interest too. Would love to hear what you believe is correlated to success.

Get this. Pen and paper. No need for silicon at all.

You're welcome.

To you and your parent, I present:

I think his point is that the link can be weaponized by others to deny service to his website, if they can get you to click on it elsewhere.

I see.

Moreover, there is no easy way to distinguish such a fetch from one generated by the bad actors that this is intended against.

When the bots follow the trampoline page's link to the honeypot, they will

- not necessarily fetch it soon afterward;

- not necessarily fetch it from the same IP address;

- not necessarily supply the trampoline page as the Referer.

Therefore you must assume that out-of-the-blue fetches of the honeypot page from a previously unseen IP address must be bad actors.

I've mostly given up on honeypotting and banning schemes on my webserver. A lot of attacks I see are single fetches of one page out of the blue from a random address that never appears again (making it pointless to ban them).

Pages are protected by having to obtain a cookie from answering a skill testing question.

Your solution is by far the best one. Especially if the skill testing involves counting the number of letter es's in the word lettereses...

You tend to find a decent solution when you're under attack and iterate until something works, and then iterate more to fine tune it after complaints of breakages from legitimate users (such as downstream distro packages pulling from your CGIT).
