Will it become normal to paste your OpenAI keys into a website and will it become the new curl-sudo-bash or checking cloud credentials into github?

Interesting thought. I then wondered if perhaps we could introduce some kind of mechanism like a token that is authorized to spend a certain amount, and then wondered if we could take that concept to the extreme and have one key with some money loaded that users could put into websites. it was at this point I realised I'd just invented the credit card.

Sounds more like a visa “gift” debit card

Pretty cool that the inventor of the credit card is here on HN!

This is the first time I have seen someone use GROBID. It seems like an incredibly cool solution

I've spent the last couple weeks diving into various PDF parsing solutions for scientific documents. GROBID is pretty cool, but it made some mistakes when trying to parse (I think arxiv) papers which removed some of the text. Even though it gave a lot of great structured options, missing even a single sentence was unforgivable to me. I went with Nougat instead, for arxiv papers. (Also check out Marker (mentioned on h…

Did you try Apache Tika?

Such a service already exists - https://openrouter.ai. They're basically an aggregator of a lot of LLM models and APIs with unified billing (with both Stripe and crypto). And the main part related to your comment is that on OpenRouter you can create capped API keys with a specified limit in credits.

Idk where this changing the url thing started but I really like it.

The oldest instance of it that I know is putting something like download before or after the youtube domain. This must have been 2008±2. I very much doubt that's the first instance ever but I wasn't around online in the 90s (aside from on my grandma's machine who didn't know her computer had a web browser, but that wasn't very conscious, just a neutral net (young me) clicking buttons to see the effect)

ss before youtube.com brings you to a download page (i.e. ssyoutubecom)

I used the example on the GitHub page, but found that I need to wait for Embedding. It would be beneficial to reduce latency and save API costs if there is a common cache.

There is a cache! You hit a new PDF but at least you will not have to wait for that one again ;)
