There's no backend or mutable DB to cache the translations. Didn't want to deal with deployment complexity associated with that for now.

I've been working on a Persian classical poetry archive with LLM-generated translation. As a poetry enthusiast but a non-speaker of Persian, I wanted to read Rumi, Hafiz, and Bedil, but found myself jumping between ChatGPT and Google Translate. I sourced my data from Ganjoor, which was luckily available via their public API. Then I quickly put together a website with bring-your-own-key translation feature.
For now, there's no backend and it's hosted on GitHub Pages; it's a static website reading chunks from an sqlite-based DB file. I intend to change it in the future by running an LLM (preferably a frontier Gemini model, as works great for Persian) over the whole data set so you won't need a key to read the translated poetry. However, I don't have the budget of $1000-$2000 to spend on the tokens currently.

Spoiler Alert
The gotcha thing about this puzzle is sort of greedy approach; try to disentangle the local sub-graphs - concentrate on any nodes of your choice and their connections - and the global graph starts to fall in its place. It's trivial approaching it like this.

I'm no expert and can't examine all the bits in detail, however, I trust the likes of FSF and Stallman. So far, they haven't given approval to any laptop built after mid 2000s. I wonder why.

CS student at a top university, hobbyist developer for a long time, academic ML enthusiast. My last freelance project for NYC client involved building a screen and webcam recorder in C++ and Microsoft Media Foundation. Thanks to the memory-related bugs I encountered in C++, I decided to give Rust a go and loved it. In college, I took a semester-long Node.js and React.js course, so that's what I can handle on the front-end. For back-end work, I of course have a preference for Node.js, Rust, and Go but I'm a fast learner and can get started with any language in no time.

Of course, I should've added that but that's not the main point.

Yet another model that has probably been never used on high scale: letting people sponsor tickets (GitHub issues). The donation would go to the contributor who closes the ticket to the satisfaction of the main contributors. The amount, of course, will be decided by how a ticket is perceived as important.

The same reason Facebook loads multiple MBs of JavaScript code for something that could have been not more than 1 MB. One can't help but wonder about nefarious purposes: either collecting user data or abusing the computing resources. For companies that tend to hire the best and the brightest, the 'software bloat' theory is not compelling.
Curiously, major Linux distributions have also gotten significantly slower compared to early 2000s versions.
I wonder, for a thought experiment, what if companies stopped development on software when it reaches certain stage of maturity, say Windows 2000, providing only necessary security updates or optional visual changes?
