This is exactly "information retrieval charges" from the film "Brazil"

This is awesome - and I love the look.

Can you add England/Europe listings? :)

On the backlog! The first data provider I integrated with only supports the US.

My advice in the meantime: Codex and Claude Code are much better at correctly reading theater and airline seatmaps than they used to be. If you've got a personal plan / one via your employer, I've had good results just asking them to set a schedule to watch a seatmap directly

Agreed. It would be nice if it supported London.

I think this is great, and the next frontier is to analyze how well calls can be handled by a local model. Realistically, to do that usefully requires response time as a new dimension of judging: Can a local model provide an acceptably accurate response in an acceptable amount of time?

Thanks. Yes, local models are gaining a lot of traction.

The measure/judge step uses LiteLLM, so it does sample local models. I just tested "--candidates ollama/llama3.2:1b", and that works - ignoring the lack of rich UX for local/unpriced models, as I was focussing on cloud cost, but you've inspired me to give this area some polish.

Noted: "response time as a new dimension of judging" - Added to the roadmap.

Try it and let me know if you hit a wall.

If you experience any issues with LiteLLM, you may try GoModel - the AI Gateway I'm working on. It consumes ~60x less resources and is more reliable :)

Would be nice for Mint to relax this limit between now and sunset.

Good old <local school>...

Good old punch cards. Betcha miss those, too, huh from when you learned programming in the 1960s?

That video is super interesting and amusing. Thanks!

I have some experience in this situation. About 20 years ago, I transitioned from employee to consultant. I do IT projects like fractional or temporary CTO in smaller organizations.

I do projects that last from 6 to 18 months, and in each one I learn about a new business, and often learn about a new technology. it keeps things fresh and interesting.

I can do this because my skill set is pretty broad and I have spent time building and maintaining a big network over my career - not necessarily attributes that can be acquired quickly.

I guess the only actionable advice is to consider working out side FAANG, and be open to consulting vs. employee. There's plenty of reward and plenty of interesting work out here.

As an expat, in modern usage, I have observed this as a US vs. Europe (or maybe vs. ROW) issue. In the US, IT is like networking and helpdesk, and in Europe, it is more the whole hw-sw-networking-development mass.

No, it actually does very well by that measure. Nothing needless to cooking is heated.

Anecdotally, rents rose in St. Antoni when the superblock was established.
