Seeking opportunities to use my skills I'm interesting ways, helping people do their jobs better, easier, or faster.

I've been a developer for close to 20 years, working primarily in web application development and data processing/ETL work.

Sounds like you are had some experience that might leave you with some unique insights into markets underserved by small players that can deliver continuous improvements.

Are those costs from the pay as you go credit system or is that on top of a max subscription?

I've tinkered with the pay as you go, but wonder if a higher cap on max for 100/month would be worth it?

I bought $20 of pay as you go API credits to test out the models and how to use them.

I have not tried the $100/month subscription. If it's net cheaper than buying credits I would consider it, since that's basically 10 features per month.

Gotcha. I am in the same boat with pay as you go credits and evaluating what it can do. There are limits with the max subscription but I'm not sure exactly how to measure it against the pay as you go tokens. So for now I just use tokens sparingly.

That is definitely a search engine I would like to use. If it existed.

Where do you do recommend someone start the journey of being a llm service user to a llm tool user?

What kind of hardware is needed to get something useful running locally?

I had a aimilar situation with SO Jobs, but I was the technical lead, but it was very similar. I was able to manage the listing, was involved throughout the hiring and onboarding process. Within his first year, he ended up finding one of my answers on SO as well.

Definitely disappointing they shut down the job board, because the quality of candidates was higher than any other board we've used since.

Ironic that the diesel that replaced steam and pure electric is actually diesel electric.

Not really. The problem with electric (in 1930) is the low voltage (relatively low - still 600-1000 volts!) couldn't handle the needed watts for diesel.

Steam was more fuel efficient than diesel when it was replaced. But a diesel engine could start in less than a few hours, and needed one less person on the crew so it was cheaper overall.

While true and a pragmatic approach, that's another part of the same root problem.

While that is definitely true, you can ignore it and choose local options. I often try to ask locals where they go to eat. Most people are excited to share a recommendation or two and why they like it.

Another thing I do, is avoid online menues at least ahead of visiting a spot and make my selections once I arrive. I can't say it's better, but it definitely keeps the serendipitous and suspense that I remember from my younger years before everything was online and had a million reviews.

That seems a plausible outcome. Pretty dystopian for sure, but plausible.

Sadly the cat is out of the bag, so banning it for the general public means that only the bad guys have it and they're already presumably doing illegal things so why do they care about using illegal software too?
