Yeah weird, bc I just checked and it isn't oss. Only the SDKs are OSS, which...doesn't help much

I do something tangential. If you can pick out identifiers for these pages with deterministic features (financial pages have the most numbers on the page, or have the word "director", "general manager" and "managing director" on the same page, etc)

Pick those pages out and pipe only those to the llm

Luckily I work with excel w lots of sheets and don't need to do pdf to text conversion etc

I was going to type you a sympathetic message and took a peek at your profile, and...well that's quite a resume you got there!

Accountability. Same reason I want to read human written content rather than obvious AI: both can be equally shit, but at least with humans there's a high probability of the aspirational quality of wanting to be considered "good"

With AI I have no way of telling if it was from a one line prompt or hundreds. I have to assume it was one line by default if there's no human sticking their neck out for it.

Fair enough. I had a hard time advocating for good password flows because "standards" said frequent rotation etc.

And tbh when you apply those standards with context and are faced with people bare-minimum pointing at the standards, you sometimes come off as less knowledgeable - such is the authority of research/standards.

Anyway, I skimmed your profile and learnt a new word, milquetoast - so thanks for that!

You have no idea how glad I am to see you all here. xD

I asked it to add debug logs. Asked it to check debug logs. Stuck, locked me out.

Checked debug file, it was 1.6GB (!!!)

For a while I thought I was kicked out of the platform for violation of some T&C.
