  • I remember back in the day this automated downloader program… the links had a limit of one download at a time and you had to solve a captcha to start each download.

    So the downloader had built in “solve other’s captcha” system, where you could build up credit.

    So when you had say 20 links to download you spent some minutes solving other’s captchas and get some credit, then the program would use that crowdsourcing to solve yours as they popped up.









  • It can be surprisingly helpful. I needed a small program to change between three “states”, two separate programs that use the gpu and can’t run at the same time that I run on a server, and an “idle” state where none of them are running. And a simple web ui to check and change state.

    This was the conversation: https://chat.openai.com/share/661322bc-2bd2-4608-9c7f-ec6d9f488601

    Note that it did mess up the transitions code a bit, but it was easy to fix after a brief look at the documentation. However, the http page worked 100% straight off the bat, and the flask code and running of the commands worked perfectly. It’s not a big thing, but a lot of “boilerplate” code and double checking docs was avoided. And this is the free tier.
