Product Engineer - Building at @polar_sh

[Villiam Strandh @villiamstrandh]

Metered tiers are live on @polar_sh.

Set a free allowance, choose graduated or volume pricing, and cap spend per billing cycle. Flexible usage-based billing for whatever your product meters.

Échange constructif ce soir avec @elonmusk autour du dispositif Full Self-Driving (FSD) de Tesla.

Depuis plusieurs mois, les autorités françaises travaillent étroitement avec @Tesla sur les adaptations techniques qui permettront à la France de soutenir son homologation, qui sera décidée au niveau européen dans les prochaines semaines.

Avec la mise à disposition de deux véhicules équipés de FSD par Tesla, nous entrons désormais dans une nouvelle étape : celle des essais sur route.

Devices, licenses, gigabytes, servers.

Your customer picks a quantity at checkout and pays for it up front. Volume or graduated tiers, your call. Change the number mid-period and we prorate the difference.

This video captures the crux of the debate: Cybersecurity experts are pissed off by the METR/Redwood Research report because AI alignment has sucked the oxygen out of AI security, even though the OpenAI incident is primarily a security issue.

Fiction is the product: The investigation lacked core forensic rigor because the EAs/rationalists/ex-MIRI people focused only on the transcript with a conflicting bias (toward doom scenarios).

Setting the wrong agenda: Framing the incident as a "rogue AI breakout" distracts from the reality of poor sandboxing, isolation, and standard security failures. Basic engineering accountability was completely sidelined.

And as Zack Korman says in this video, it needs to be fixed.

3 → 17 employees in 1 year! ✨

This week, we're hanging out in Berlin & celebrating growing our fantastic team to 17 people, and planning out the next evolution of Polar.

We have big plans in store for the next few months.

We're hiring btw.

[Maxime Bourdon Vast @BourdonFast]

@diogocapela @polar_sh @creem_io Hey, our automated review process initially denied your org but the team just approved your appeal ! Happy selling

[Maxime Bourdon Vast @BourdonFast]

[François Voron @fvoron]

So honoured to speak at the very first FastAPI Conf 🍰

[Maxime Bourdon Vast @BourdonFast]

@nomalex_ @lemonsqueezy @polar_sh DM me your org name once you are in; i'll have a look myself

[Maxime Bourdon Vast @BourdonFast]

@nomalex_ @lemonsqueezy @polar_sh Legit businesses are automatically reviewed and approved anyway.

[Maxime Bourdon Vast @BourdonFast]

@yeskanyewest Hey, sorry about that. To be clear I understand correctly, are you an organization using polar? Or a customer trying to buy a product?

[Maxime Bourdon Vast @BourdonFast]

Pause a subscription on @polar_sh instead of canceling it.

Billing stops at the end of the current period. The payment method stays on file, so resuming charges the customer right away with no second checkout.

Built for seasonal plans and account freezes.

[Maxime Bourdon Vast @BourdonFast]

@ahsanabrar58 @polar_sh Yeah I saw your message. As said in the thread, we usually reply in 1 to 2 business day depending on the number of messages we have to handle.

[Maxime Bourdon Vast @BourdonFast]

@ahsanabrar58 @polar_sh Our onboarding is automated at first, support only intervene when needed. It seems that your product is not yet available, which is probably why we could not approve your app.

[Maxime Bourdon Vast @BourdonFast]

@ahsanabrar58 @polar_sh How?
