Opening Membership

Hello, this is Rcat.
This is sudden, but I've decided to try opening a membership.

Introduction

Regarding comments

Please check the guidelines in the Terms of Service before commenting.
Comments that do not comply will be deleted.

Reason for launching the membership

Now, the reason I launched this membership is that I wanted to create a plan where you can read past works at a good value while effectively utilizing the paid areas.
Also, if it works out well, I think it might be good to create higher-tier plans with more benefits in the future.

Utilizing paid areas

Those who follow me regularly might already know, but I basically post source code as images.
The reason is simple and clear: it's a countermeasure against scraping and AI. *It's in the Terms of Service!

However, that meant that those who viewed it had to type it out themselves unless they went as far as downloading the source code.
Honestly, while I thought it was a bit of a hassle, I won't change this policy in order to protect the information.

So, I will use the paid areas that can only be seen if you purchase the article.

From now on, I will write the source code directly into the paid area and add it to the membership benefits magazine, so that members can copy and paste it at any time.

Of course, tools will continue to be distributed as before, so they are excluded from this.

Membership benefits (Lv1 Plan)

With this plan, you will have unlimited access to paid articles added to the following magazine.
It includes many articles that are basically free but have some paid parts. Please check the content below for future additions.

I just want to see the results quickly. Results summary related

For example, here, I am doing LLM benchmarking, but honestly, I think you're done if you just look at the final results summary. Sad.
I personally want you to look at the parts during verification, though...

So, from now on, verifications and benchmarks will be basically free to view, but if there is a summary where you can understand everything just by looking at that part, I will make that a paid area.
And, members can quickly check that part, which is the mechanism.
In the first place, maybe those who become members read every corner, so they don't need it? I don't know.

Text information such as prompts

In LLM-related topics I've been doing a lot lately, instructions to cause a certain action are prompts.
It takes a fair amount of time to build these up, so some of them are paid individually.
However, I think it's a heavy purchase if it's just a single item, so I've decided to change it to a form of disclosure via membership.

Basically, it often includes not just the prompt, but an explanation including the reason why I did it that way.

Low-priced tools

With the exception of items that sell reasonably well on their own, you will have unlimited access to download information for older tools, most of which are priced under 300 yen.
As for tools, purchasing individual articles will remain the standard, but you can consider that if a tool is priced at the 100-yen level, it is generally available through membership.

Simple hacks

Simple hacks refer to ideas I come up with during my daily development.
For example, this content covers my investigation into how to copy PNGs.
Since not many people seem to do this, and it doesn't come up when searched, I have made it paid content. Things like this will be included in the future.

Bonus-related content

For example, this is a life hack for using a PC power supply as an AC adapter, where only the diagram is paid content.
Things like this, which are just 1% bonuses at the end, may be included.

Right to ask questions

Depending on the duration of your membership, this is the right to have questions, inquiries, or consultations accepted even if they ignore the guidelines.
Basically, my policy is not to provide services that are not worth the price, and it is standard that there is no support even if you buy a tool (excluding major defects).

Therefore, I do not accept questions that can be answered by general research or dumping errors as per the guidelines.

However, the right to ask questions is what can override that.

Please note that, as mentioned above, I do not do things that are not worth the price, so there is no such thing as 'once you join, you will be taught how to set up Linux step-by-step', so please confirm your understanding of that. You can think of it as a way to make up for periods where you didn't get much value after joining (like rolling over unused data).

Right to request

Depending on the duration of your membership, this is the right to make requests for tools immediately after they are released.
Basically, this is a heavier right than the right to ask questions.

Conditions for fulfillment

• Must be feasible
  Even if you ask for something difficult, if it's impossible, it's impossible

• The scale and the value (or interest) of the function must match
  I cannot spare time for things that don't have much meaning even if added

• Must be immediately after release
  Older tools are not eligible because I don't remember their structure and the cost of modification is high

• Must be a long-term participant
  Unless the modification would drastically increase the value, or it's at a level where I would implement it proactively if I thought of it myself, I cannot accept requests from new members.

Rcat LLM API

This is the right to use Rcat's local LLM as an API.
After becoming a member, I will issue an account to those who apply, and you can start using the API.

The main features, such as being able to input anything and not being used for training, are what set it apart from commercial AI.
In particular, what is provided through this API is a Heretic-processed model, which will not refuse to answer unless it is something considerably malicious.
