  • Not to tell you you don’t need a GUI calculator program, but the only times I needed one was on screen sharing when I had to show someone else what I’m doing.

    For all other cases, python in console is the best calculator ever. You don’t need to learn Python to use it, and it’s most likely already installed in most systems that you use.

    As an example of what’s possible with GPT4. Client wanted DNS auth in Letsencrypt instead of HTTPS, so we can close incoming port 80. They’re using a registar with a proprietary API. With ChatGPT I created a certbot plugin in about 10 minutes, feeding it a pdf with API description.

    I know how to do every step of this myself, but it’s a 4-8 hour task to research the registar’s API and how certbot plugins interface. Instead, I took another 15 minutes to review the code, ran it, and it’s done.


  • Which model is that? I tried several ones that were complete trash, then Mixtrail appeared and starting giving answers that are very basic but mostly factually correct. But none of these are even close to ChatGPT that I can rely on with writing scripts.

    Don’t get me wrong, I’d rather not give them my data and money if there was an alternative. But for tech stuff we’re not there yet.
