Sorry you hit this. 100 papers were processed today. Cost to me was $63.
Make this a paid service! This could go viral
Very nice of you to say.

#102Earlier quoted context omitted.
In some other apps, I've toyed around with charging for code access. Basically, a flat rate gets you into to the repo. Would that interest you? Personally, I hate subscription pricing and think we need more innovation in pricing models.
Yes I would be interested in that for sure, and I don’t have an issue with paying for the AI backend API too.
Doh! I didn’t think of that. Interesting idea.

#103I also have a a scratch-my-own-itch project[1] that leverages an LLM as a core part of its workload. But it's so niche I could never justify opening it up to general use. (I haven't even deployed it to the web because it's easier to just run it locally since I'm the only user.)
But it got me interested in a topic I have been calling "token economization." I'm sure there's a more common term from it but I'm a newb to this tech. Basically, how to optimize the "run rate" for token utilization per request down.
Have you taken a stab at anything along this vein? Like prompt optimization, and so on? Or are you just letting 'er rip and managing costs by reducing request volume? (Now that I've typed this comment out I realize there is so much I don't know about basic stuff with commercial LLM billing and so on.)

I asked Claude to educate me about the concepts I'm nibbling at in this comment. After some back-and-forth about how to fetch this link (??), it spit out a useful answer https://claude.ai/share/0359f6a1-1e4f-4ff9-968a-6677ed3e4d14

#104I picked the “Attention is All You Need” example at the top, and wow it is not great! Didn’t take long to find hallucination/general lack of intelligence: > For each word, we compute three vectors: a Query (what am I looking for?), a Key (what do I contain?), and a Value (what do I give out?). What? That’s the worst description of a key-value relationship I’ve ever read, unhelpful for understanding what the equation…
I keep trying these types of things with my own academic papers, asking AIs to summarise them, and they always produce plausible looking nonsense.

#105Have you considered going down the route of integrating this with citation managers like zotero?
To me that's where the benefit lies. Sure to do a deep dive on a single paper this is good, but you rarely need this out of context of your broader research goal.
There are quite a few of these though, certainly for zotero anyway.

#106Thanks to everyone who tried this today and those who provided feedback. I really appreciate your time. Here are some stats: 100 papers processed. Cost breakdown: LLM cost $64 AWS cost $0.0003 Claude's editorial comment about this breakdown, "For context, the Anthropic API cost ($63.32) is roughly 200,000x the AWS infrastructure cost. The AWS bill is a rounding error compared to the LLM spend." Category breakdown: Co…
tried it but it said limit was hit

#107I think this is extremely impressive if it's totally auto-generated. Is there any human guidance or is it completely automated - PDF in, web page eventually out?
Re: Show HN: Now I Get It – Translate scientific papers into interactive webpages
#108I like the idea here, but the final product is just so far from what good interactive articles/explanations actually look like. E.g., this style of article: - https://mlu-explain.github.io/decision-tree/ - any article from distill.pub - any piece from NYT
And those are all auto-generated?

It's about what I thought would be possible. I look forward to things of the calibre of redblobgames, but perhaps no this year.
