majdalsado··on "Don't You Just Upload It to ChatGPT?"
Some would say that's exactly what they do best, learn a language and be able to transform across them. Hence, "language" model.
majdalsado··on Daytona is going closed source
Due to the acceleration of AI-assisted vulnerability discovery. Wonder how common this will become in the coming years.
majdalsado··on Incident Report: May 19, 2026 – GCP Account Suspension
Unfortunately we had to make emergency migration off to Azure yesterday due to this. Thankfully our DB was not hosted on Railway and we were back up in a couple hours.

As much as we loved the simplicity they provided us, there's just been too many mishaps and shortcomings for us to continue running a B2B enterprise app on their infrastructure.

Sad day :(

majdalsado··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (February 2026)
Bidaya AI | Senior Software Engineer (Full Stack) | Calgary, Canada (Hybrid) | Up to $140k CAD + Generous Equity

We're an early-stage (pre-seed) VC-backed startup automating RFPs in the AEC (Architecture, Engineering, Construction) industry.

We are building a online platform along with a direct Microsoft Word integration, helping firms find and win more work, while serving as their knowledge management hub for all business development.

You would be the first full-time engineering hire working directly with the founders (I'm the technical co-founder). We need someone who can ship production code across the whole stack.

The Stack: Next.js, React (Office.js), FastAPI (Python), Temporal

Hard problems you will solve:

Deep Word Integration: Building a high-performance, "Cursor-like" experience within the constraints of Office.js.

Agentic Workflows: Orchestrating AI agents that can read complex government requirements, reason about compliance, and generate winning output autonomously.

Evolving Knowledge Graph: Architecting a library system that doesn't just store files, but learns from project history and feedback loops.

If you want a chance to work on a hard problem, in an exciting space, with a strong team that has validated the market and de-risked the business, with major upside, let's talk!

To apply, email me directly: majd [at] bidaya.ai or apply here https://app.dover.com/apply/bidaya/d5f29bbb-9c67-4c4e-82bf-5...

Mention HN in the application.

majdalsado··on State of AI: An Empirical 100T Token Study with OpenRouter
Very interesting how Singapore ranks 2nd in terms of token volume. I wonder if this is potentially Chinese usage via VPN, or if Singaporean consumers and firms are dominating in AI adoption.

Also interesting how the 'roleplaying' category is so dominant, makes me wonder if Google's classifier sees a system prompt with "Act as a X" and classifies that as roleplay vs the specific industry the roleplay was intended to serve.

I'm looking into a tool like this for my startup. Why should I use this over Langfuse or Helicone?
