DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING INTERESTING TO WORK ON?

OK, I guess you grab your attention.

I am bored and willing to work on something interesting and challenging and could compromise on cost or even work for free if it is super interesting for me. I do not claim to be a master of all but can get shit done. Below are my credentials:

pknerd··on Jina AI launches open-source 8k text embedding
Actually I wanna use langchain. OpwnAI is not free. I wanted to test two use cases:

- chat with documents(pdf, doc etc)

- chat with website. Like, if I integrate with an ecommerce site, I can ask questions from the website. What options do I have in free for both cloud and locally?

I do not have some specific use case in mind. I am a backend developer who has spend around a decade mostly working on command line backend tools in Python and a bit in Go. Tools like scrapers, bots(Discord, TG etc), automation of trading strategies for both crypto and stocks, APIs integration and making its webfront in PHP and Python. You name it. Besides this I also have published my own Google Chrome extensions like Currently Reading[1], CryptInfo[2] and ProducTab [3]

pknerd··on GPTBot – OpenAI’s Web Crawler
You are letting them to crawl your site and earn money, they came up with a genius idea to pay you. Simple
pknerd··on GPTBot – OpenAI’s Web Crawler
They are business, not some random visitor. Google scrapes websites all the time, provide Adsense, a way to earn money.
pknerd··on GPTBot – OpenAI’s Web Crawler
are OpenAI grifters? When Google can pay, why not them?
pknerd··on GPTBot – OpenAI’s Web Crawler
Just a random thought: While they are already earning money by scraping data, would it not be nice if they pay the site owners a certain amount of the money they earn?

pknerd··on Bookwyrm – A federated social network for reading books
tbh, this is not my issue. My only complain with Goodreads is their pathetic UI. My own purpose of using Goodreads is tracking and the UI is so confusing that it takes me a while to figure out how to find the last page I had read and then update it.

Found some negative comments by Indians but then this is a typical attitude of subcontinent, people hardly celebrate good things. I experience same here in Pakistan.

Anyways, congrats India, this is not something casual. The entire ISRO team deserves the applause.

PS: Dumb question, why is it taking so long to reach to that region of moon?
