Oddbean new post about login | logout How much do you end up paying after a month? You are probably using it to generate code right?
Our average user spends about $4 per month, but your mileage may vary.
No idea yet for the month. I did some programming yesterday - a python script that finds and scales all fotos of one person where the face is bigger than 2.5% of the whole picture and the picture is not too blurry. Some back and forth over libraries not being available and "Segmentation fault" not being a helpful crash message and explored using GPU which I gave up on in the end but the script worked well on an example folder of 1600 fotos. Found the 200 fotos I wanted to a fair degree of accuracy. That all cost me $0.66. And the detailed account activity is just amazing!! https://i.nostr.build/jdhmwnp7tdTnKpXL.png
If you have time but no programming skills, you can either hire a programmer or spend some time with an LLM. It's totally crazy. With an hour of chatting and trying what LLM told me to try I resolved a task that would have cost me many hours of searching and communication with gig workers not to mention the price: 66ct for the LLM against $$ for a gig worker. 3 years ago I thought programmers would be the last to be replaced by "AI" ... nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzq3huhccxt6h34eupz3jeynjgjgek8lel2f4adaea0svyk94a3njdqy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq3uamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3dwp6kytnhv4kxcmmjv3jhytnwv46z7qpq8h738qp24e7s2rfaqezk8pp2r2660que46uptxwfu202dzfjyvus8kf4t0
an LLM is just a big data aggregator, anyway. if it can be solved easily then it probably should be, and that time spent on actual development work instead of centering a div after some point you run into code quality problems, but as long as you don’t trust but verify, it’ll work
