May I ask what your use case is? I've found LLMs are pretty good at parsing unstructured data into JSON, with minimal hallucinations.
jcjmcclean··on Launch HN: Highlight.io (YC W23) – Open-source, full stack web app monitoring
Hiya! I'm a long term logrocket user (around 9 years now). I've been looking at alternatives as the cost is so high for us as a startup (~300k sessions per month). Highlight looks great! I have a few questions:

1. Do you or are you looking to add redux recording? This is a must for us.

2. Why are session replay costs so high? Is there a lot of data stored? Nobody seems to have a cost effective solution once you get to high volumes.

3. I'd happily self-host to take the hit on the storage/database costs internally but $3k per month is unworkable for us. Is there a way around this (I can see how this would potentially break your business model)? 4. Do you have any plans to offer discounts for startups?

Thanks!

Pretty good read overall. Would love a little more depth but can't complain.
jcjmcclean··on Edge tech news - my shit hot startup
Edge is a real work in progress at the moment. I learned that the best thing to do is just say fuck it and get an MVP online as soon as possible.

It doesn't matter to start with if it looks like shit or has usability issues, they can all be ironed out. First of all make sure the idea works and then expand on it.

So here it is, the first iteration of my new startup Edge Technology News.

I aggregate content from the webs hottest tech blogs and display it all together in one place.

Edge also aggregates content from kickstarter and github so you can see the latest tech developments around.

There is a lot of work left to do on the site. Clearly usability and design need some work. At the moment I'm concentrating on getting the news aggregation working perfectly before moving on to the development section of the site.

jcjmcclean··on Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal released
What is likely to be quicker/easier and the best decision in the long term ... Upgrading to 12.10 from 11.10 or moving to Linux Mint?

This is for my work machine which I run PHPStorm for web development, virtualbox for CS5 and Chrome and various other apps.
