    Alright, I'll bite... What led you to leaving the Linux world entirely? What can "the community" learn from your experience to make it better for others?

    Ask HN: Have you reduced costs by caching LLM responses?

    Providing a chat bot to a large user base means you spend a lot of money on similar requests. I'm looking for best practices or lessons learned from implementing LLM-enabled apps a…
