    I played a lot with LLMs over the last year and built a multitude of products with it and it’s always just the same bottom line outcome: - be specific - keep it small - be precise …

    Just find a Hoster with low traffic egress cost, reverse proxy normal traffic to Cloudflare and reply with 2GB files for the bot, they annoy you/cost you money, make them pay.

    would be good to have an indicator if it’s available with your distro by default or what package you’ll need to install it since all tools are only as useful as available they are……

    +1 I dropped school relatively early (I was extremely bored and the way of education was certainly somewhere close from the Stone Age times). I did an apprenticeship as software en…

    I input text and preferably I output JSON but doesn’t matter much as long as it’s somewhat structured. Ultimately I’d like to extract information like date ranges, specific indicat…

    I switched as well and I actually use the AI assistant since then primarily. It’s awesome to connect search directly with AI, almost always get what I want immediately.

    yeah, but it doesn’t need to be that way. It can be simple and makes it easier adoptable, why over engineering and reinventing the wheel of at least 2 decades experience and better…

    OpenAI takes the backseat and wait until something stable/usable comes out of it which gains traction and takes it over then. Old classic playbook to let others make the mistakes a…
