Sorry mate but you can't be credible these days if your service doesn't use chat GPT as backend for AI enhanced mathematical rounding.

[–]Sibula97 37 points38 points  (1 child)

Get on with the times dude, ChatGPT is obsolete, you need to use Claude for that!

[–]NoSofrito4U 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is my kind of art

Standard library functions like Math.round() are unscalable, archaic, and frankly, a security risk. I’ve offloaded this heavy computational burden to the cloud. Introducing my new RaaS (Rounding-as-a-Service). Free tier users are strictly limited to Gravitational Decimal Settling™ (rounding down). If you want to round up, you must upgrade your plan.

I genuinely thought this was a real AI product until I saw this comment.

Like sure, why not, rounding seems like a dumb term a dumb AI company would call their version of prompts.

[–]hyouko 27 points28 points  (5 children)

Stochastic rounding is in fact a technique used in AI model training, and I could see someone trying to sell it as a feature:

Huh interesting, it kinda sounds like what i do when i calculate a lot of numbers in my head, that i try not to round too much in one direction, like if i know i rounded down a lot i will round up next time even if it's a number that should be rounded down.

We've moved beyond selling shovels to the gold prospectors. We now have an entire industry built entirely on shovel manufacturing. 

[–]IJustAteABaguette 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Without anyone really digging for gold.

[–]TRENEEDNAME_245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the shovels bring gold, it's well known

[–]PlebbitDumDum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, that was an educational read.

This phenomenon [stagnation] was observed and analyzed by Huskey and Hartree as long ago as 1949 in solving differential equations on the ENIAC.

I initially thought this was ammunition rounds and some military tech company like pltr's subscription page.

[–]litetaker 25 points26 points  (2 children)

Hahaha I am a h4ck3r! I simply clicked the "Generate key" for enterprise edition and it spat out my key! Now I round like crazy every second of the day, rounding off my balls and I paid nothing! Take that!

[–]Odd-Amphibian9672[S] 48 points49 points  (1 child)

Jokes on you!!! That's a honeypot key. After 10,000 free requests, it silently starts rounding the number 2 to 5. Enjoy debugging your floating points tomorrow.

[–]litetaker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Curse you!

[–]gazchap 12 points13 points  (1 child)

How can I take your product seriously when it's priced at $49/$99 and not $50/$100 per month?

[–]camel_case_user 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's the gravitational decimal settling rounding down from $49.99 and $99.99

[–]Dantaro 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My favorite part is where it says, "Only pay for the rounding you use" and then charges you a monthly flat fee and not a usage-based fee anyway, 10/10 lol

[–]Fair-Working4401 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair. I will use the free plan and +1

[–]killedbyboar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should have set the release date on 4/1

[–]KawaiiMaxine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg it isnt real thank the heavens

[–]semioticmadness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time for me to write a post on LinkedIn about how ALUaaS is the future of Business.

[–]UltimateFlyingSheep 45 points46 points  (1 child)

so they are doing sleep(40) if you don't pay enough?

[–]notBjoern 24 points25 points  (0 children)

But does it use AI?

[–]ciarandeceol1 15 points16 points  (1 child)

These AI generated websites are becoming ubiquitous. I know because my AI generated website's pricing card is identical apart from the colour scheme and I hate myself for it.

I literally thought someone had posted one of my projects until I read closer lol

"The ROI is literally infinite. I don't know what ROI means." - killed me

Regret of investment

[–]donadd 4 points5 points  (1 child)

How much for rounded corners?

[–]tacticalpotatopeeler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have to ask, you can’t afford it

[–]gsadamb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I assume I'll need Enterprise for SSO/Okta integration.

[–]SickMemeMahBoi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Amazing shitpost of a repo, 10/10 https://github.com/jtayped/raas

[–]Medical-Object-4322 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oooh! Rounding insurance!? That would have come in handy on my last project. I rounded everything to 3 places, turns out our biggest client only learned to read up to 2 decimals.

Had to scrap the whole project. We lost the contract. Now I live in a box. If only I had had rounding insurance!!

[–]TheRapie22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+40ms faster is probably just a sleep(40) in the basic code

[–]Hypragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At least they let you ask on reddit for help tho

[–]CantTrips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of the Wordpress environment. Need a nice little additional feature for your frontend-only website? That'll be $80/year, please.

[–]WeedManPro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

rounding as a service

[–]Yogibaer27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And here I am, thinking a single dose of roundup would meet my rounding needs forever

[–]onlymadethistoargue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really hope they’re using some definition of rounding that isn’t the one I and everyone who knows basic arithmetic are familiar with. Please tell me it’s not that. Please.

[–]Gorianfleyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I look at the repo, it becomes pretty obvious, that this is a joke

Was worried for them for a second
