Is this another "Dropbox is just rsync"-like post?

> Your one example doesn't make all of LLMs a lie.

It's not a lie though, because the truth isn't guaranteed by the mechanism that generates the answer.

The wide range of different responses to this post illustrates an important point; we can't agree on how to use LLMs in software development, and are still discovering new things.

And in a couple of months we might be doing things completely differently because of some new model or new framework.

That's really cool.

Have not had such big outage issues as what's described here, although I have noticed more stability issues lately. Is this worse while Europe is sleeping maybe?

Came back here to say I was wrong! I have been experimenting, and it is doable. I have been experimenting with setting up a scraping pipeline with LLM enrichment since I wrote the comment above, and have very positive results so far. :)

But LLMs themselves are literally not going away, I think that's the point. Once a model is trained and let out into the open for free download, it's there, and can be used by anyone - and it's only going to get cheaper and easier.

You will absolutely struggle to get all the info you need into 700 tokens per page.

Edit: There's also the added complexity of running a browser against 1M pages, or more.

My instinct was also to use LLMs for this, but it was way to slow and still expensive if you want to scrape millions of pages.

As a Norwegian, yeah you're not wrong. We have a lot of challenges to overcome as the oil age is coming to an inevitable end, although there are many here tho refuse to see the writing on the wall.

I used to be "anti Tesla", then I tried one, and now I own one.

Teslas are disruptive - they're not what you expect of cars. I will never look the same at a car again. Tell this to anyone who doesn't understand, and they simply won't understand what you're going on about.

Over a year in; driving my Model X still makes me smile.

Would be even scarier with eSIM, but I suppose it's just a matter of time before we get that.
