#12It would be great if we could use our own openAI/claude accounts and pay a smaller subscription...this may be cool, but it's too expensive, I'd just like to play around...

It doesn’t even surprise me anymore that someone is charging a subscription fee to use an off the shelf LLM with scraped data from a public site. The gold rush can’t be over soon enough.

#14“Favourite” Programming Languages on Hacker News - Key take-aways
Rust is the most talked-about language
2 327 stories – the highest volume
57 212 total points – the highest aggregate karma
Go comes a very close second in volume (2 259 stories) and total score (45 511).
Python and JavaScript still dominate discussion but are edged out by Rust & Go this year.
Smaller but passionate followings
Lua & Erlang generate the highest average score per story, indicating highly-engaged niche audiences.
Swift and Elixir also punch above their weight on a per-story basis.
Classic staples (C++, Java, Ruby, PHP) remain active but draw less relative excitement.
Quick ranking by story count
Rust – 2 327
Go – 2 259
Python – 2 029
JavaScript – 1 927
Highest average karma per story
Lua – 51.8
Erlang – 36.5
Swift – 29.3
Elixir – 25.9
Rust – 24.6
Interpretation: Rust and Go are currently the “favourite” languages on Hacker News by sheer attention and total karma, while Lua and Erlang have smaller but very enthusiastic communities
- Next time any Rust supporter telling you Rust is not popular on HN or Ada gets mentioned a lot of Zig gets similar attention as Rust. You may point them to this post.

Yea would be great if OpenAI implement some sort of "Login with ChatGPT” for Frictionless API Billing

#16Maybe just collect the answers to all those interesting questions and publish them as a blog post?

Not scraped. HN itself publishes a live dataset to bigquery. The product is meant to connect to your own database but I thought this was fun to connect to hn

Good idea. Will do that

#19These privacy policies and terms of service for all these AI sites give me such a gross feeling. It it opportunism at its max, likely due to our business ecosystem, but regardless. I don't want to engage in any serious manner. I don't think it's good for society at all.

The problem is that you can't host a free LLM based service the way you can host a website, without being exposed to cost spikes the moment it becomes popular (or misused). Lots of smaller apps need a better cost pass-through mechanism; this is even more of a problem for hobbyists/non-profit projects than for commercial ones. We can't keep going with a free trial (costs eaten by developer) + subscription for every little thing.
