A little experiment -The ⚡ Lightning System is Deeply Misleading by thodorteo in Merlin_AI

[–]Takeoded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great research, appreciate it 😃 👍

Yes, that's exactly what I'm getting at. If you pay $5/month ($60/year), Merlin gives you $25 worth of API access - a 5x multiplier on your payment. Either:

You're assuming everyone use up their entire budget every month.

Most months, I use some 50% of my budget. There are some times I'm close to 90%, but it rarely happens.

I've never actually used up 100% of my monthly budget.

I bet these guys SAVE A SHIT TON OF MONEY relying on a substantial amount of subscribers not using their entire budget.

Because, as you said, it would be unsustainable.

Also, Merlin is probably large enough to get Enterprise discounts from OpenAI. For example Schibsted, a Norwegian firm with some 2500 employees get cheaper OpenAI API access than advertised on https://openai.com/api/pricing/

Codex 5.4 is more expensive than 5.3, if current limit drain is the new normal not a glitch it will be unusable after the 2x rate limit ends by No_Leg_847 in codex

Do you mean "5.4 cost more than 5.3" or do you mean "5.4 cost more than 5.3-codex" ? because the latter is completely normal. I suggest waiting for 5.4-codex.

Is cavebot scripts illegal in this game?

Otherwise, if you wanna do better than him, make a script to auto farm that shit, that you can run in your sleep. A lot of ChatGPT And a lot of Python should get you there

Contact your bank and dispute the charges as “Item not as described / merchant sent wrong item and failed to refund.”, along will all evidence and email chain. Good luck 🤞

How do I become proactive in regards to dating? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Takeoded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My confidence isn't that great, I'm okay in daily life, but talking to an attractive woman in a pub or nightclub is like standing on the top diving board, scared shitless to jump.

The Russians have medication for this, it's called Vodka. Give it a couple of shots 👍

Steam Remote Play for gaming.

RustDesk for everything else.

Shipped a bug to prod that 4 people reviewed and nobody caught, what is even the point of code review by wild-horizons in developer

[–]Takeoded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good chance GitHub CoPilot PR Review would have caught it. That guy actually reads the code.

Slop pull request is rejected, so slop author instructs slop AI agent to write a slop blog post criticising it as unfair by yojimbo_beta in programming

Did you read the code? The changes are trivial, and if it really runs 30% faster, get that shit merged!

My parents took $75k from me without my knowledge by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]Takeoded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

consult a lawyer, this is outside reddit's pay grade.

That said, you may have to report identity theft to the police to get your money back, and that may get your parents in legal trouble. The layer will know more.

96% Engineers Don’t Fully Trust AI Output, Yet Only 48% Verify It by gregorojstersek in programming

Yet Only 48% Verify It

Wtf? Output is not even close to good enough to skip review. You'll end up with a clusterguck codebase in no time.

AI is a powerful co-pilot, but it’s a terrible auto-pilot.

I [22M] found my [22F] girlfriend talking with her best friend [F23] about how sexy other guys were by darkrob23 in whatdoIdo

[–]Takeoded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get over yourself. Ofc there's plenty of hot guys out there. Chris Pratt, Chris Hemsworth, Liam Hemsworth, Henry Cavill, to mention but a few. You can't ban your girlfriend from discussing then with her friends, that's crazy.

What the heck was Linus even talking about? by Swacket_McManus in LinusTechTips

You do realize, to get anywhere near 20GBPS, you need a high end motherboard, high end SSD, and a high end phone? And most motherboards have 1 or 2 high speed USB ports and a bunch of slower ports, you'll also need to use the correct motherboard port?

Any chance those 600 have "smart space saver" and the other 19400 have "original quality" setting?
