You have much more eloquently put the same feeling I had about the site.

It was a good resource but absolutely toxic to newcomers.

Good Riddance to SO.

Yep! I too hate the phrase "smoke test".

This website https://tokenpriceindex.com/ tracks Token Cost.

You are right - tokens are going up currently.

The Token Price Index (TPI) is a free, public, independent index tracking the cost of AI inference over time. And alas, it is trending up.

I have a friend with dyslexia and he has always agonised over writing email. At work he would often get me to check important emails for him.

Using AI allows him to feel a lot more confident in what he is writing, particularly when I suggested he tell the LLM tone (friendly and professional) he was wanting.

Well, if you or I did it - of course!

But when Corporate does it, we just handwave it way.

I'm the same, it's about the "Act of Creation".

Another option is to bring your coding skills to a industry not particularly known for using tech.

IMHO Good Riddance to such a toxic community.

This median of 5yrs experience is also backed up by Stack Overflow surveys (and Python surveys).

So where do they all go (I doubt the number of grads is doubling)?

I think a lot realise that programming is not their bag and move into account management, IT support, Business Support, or even other career's entirely.

Thank you for this. I had never considered this "drift" in recipes and ingredients.

So very true.

And then over time these Excel spreadsheets become a core system that runs stuff.

I used to live in fear of one of these business analyst folks overwriting a cell or sorting by just the column and not doing the rows at the same time.

Also VLOOKUP's are the devil.

When I first launched my SaaS I used one of this online review websites to help get testimonials and SEO and backlinks and stuff.

Went fine for about 3 months and then the bots came. 2 months after that the GPT bots came.

The site didn't do anything about the obviously fake reviews. How did I know they were fake? well 95% of my customer base is in Australia - so why are there Indians leaving reviews - when they are not even customers? (yes I cross referenced the names).

So yeah, I just need to get that off my chest. Thanks for reading.

I tried it on an image of me and a horse in front of a paddock and it worked perfectly. Really impressed.

Other background removal tools would find me - but erase half the horse or erase his tack or his ears. This tool worked perfectly.

Very well done!

I do!

The join form says:

- Your full name (e.g. Mary Smith)*

- Your short name (e.g. Mary)*

And I have placeholder text in the inputs with "Mary Smith" and "Mary".

My demographic is skewed to be about 70% female hence the female name example.

In my SaaS software I made the conscious decision to record names as "full_name" (e.g. Mary Smith) which is basically your legal name and then "short_name" (e.g. Mary) which is what I would address a letter to.

This handles a whole bunch of issues with people who have just one name (which I believe is high status in some cultures) and cultures where the family name is first and then the given name.

I have had very little issues with it - even though most customers expect first_name and last_name.

I had a police officer talk to me about my software and they were mucho impressed about how this naming system handles all the different name types. They say some of their system have issues all the time with some names.

Is it a perfect system? No, but it seems to be one of the better ones.

We have some for sale. :)

You can record Medication as an Medication event type or a Veterinary event type.

For required tests - you can create a custom Event Type called 'Coggins' and record that. Or there is a genetic test result section under the horse that you can record info.

You can also upload document for the tests you are taking.

There is also a Medication Task List feature. If you have a lot of horses that need meds - this allows you to check them off each day as they are done.

I developed this feature earlier this month but haven't publicised it yet as it is still being tested by the user who requested it.

Happy to have a chat - particularly about what USA users are looking for - just email me via === support at horserecords.info ====

Cheers!

So how do you withdraw the funds? Or do they sit in the online casino's site for you to put a bet on or something?

I have coded a tool to help record everything about your horses.

I have coded it to be as flexible as possible, so it works for all breeds and all disciplines.

I have collaborations with Racing Associations within Australia to provide the software to new owners of retired racehorses.

I am trying to expand to the USA via Texas and to the UK this year.

I love the effects. I use it on https://horserecords.info/.

Yes I have been using that as one of my main plugins. It's quite good.

Another one I use is YT Caption Retriever as I use it to 'summarise the auto generated captions of this youtube video [insert link]'

- this saves me heaps of time on certain videos where I just need the gist of them rather than listening to 10 mins of

"OH hai guys it's your boi Zurtri here coming at you with another great tip - and hit that subscribe button - it really helps the algo!'

I am constantly searching for this. To point a locally hosting LLM to a locally hosted code repo - and then start improving it from there would be awesome.

Agreed. I have found that generated horses never look right. The legs are routinely wrong. And the horses look more like a cartoon representation than an actual horse.

I launched my startup May 1st 2021. And yes COVID was still very much in play.

My thinking was if I can survive in the lean times, I can survive in the better times.

I will continue to build and improve my comprehensive horse husbandry software: https://horserecords.info

ChatGPT has been very useful to rearrange text for me. Particularly when a journo wants original content for a question I've already answered.

The code it produces is at a junior level. It _looks_ right at first glance but when you implement it, it is rarely good code and often needs tweaks. It is good at general stuff but the more specific you need it to be, the worse it is.

It's a great project IMHO - the rewriting of text is so, so useful to me and saves a lot of time.

I am waiting for this kind of tech to become viable for smaller 'hobby' type farms. you know, under 100 acres.

To get the spraying done by firing up a few drones would be excellent.

Particularly with weeds that are in hard to reach places on the farm.

I have a site using Bootstrap.

I find the easiest thing is to change the primary color and then remove border radii and you're golden - no-one notices or complains.

I run a SaaS in the horse industry. https://horserecords.info
