I’m blowing through my 1000 mins in days.
Thinking to either pool some free tiers or figure something out with spot instances.
Also is it just me or is CI/CD tooling still sort of rough all around.
This seems nonsensical. Why would non-actions activity consume actions budget?
Code review ostensibly takes place inside a container runtime just like tests or other actions would. It makes sense to me.
Done that way it obfuscates cost of the code review and I think that's on purpose

> If the unit-economics work out and they can sell $0.99 of tokens for $1.00 I think the margins have to be a lot higher than that in order to give investors the return they're expecting, to continue the never-ending training treadmill, and to build more and more datacenters to accommodate people basically DDOS'ing the GPUs in order to run their workloads. Yes, in theory what you said makes sense. But the tightrope t…
VC investment isn’t about margins, it’s about finding a unicorn. It doesn’t matter if margins are negative if your product is dominant in the market as you can fiddle with the margins after the fact. You just need to be invested long enough to see everyone else fail.
Anyone have good alternatives for ci/cd on the cheap for a solo dev? I’m blowing through my 1000 mins in days. Thinking to either pool some free tiers or figure something out with spot instances. Also is it just me or is CI/CD tooling still sort of rough all around.

Hetzner has cheap VPS that I host my CI on. It costs like $10/month.
Pick the cheapest region, since CI runners location doesn’t matter much.
It is time to setup local models. It is cheaper, and you already have a computer. Why keep it idle and pay someone else for their CPU?
Expect to see more of these kinds of announcements as companies need to start showing returns on their AI investments. It's hard to say how subsidized the current AI products are[1] but we're definitely getting a free lunch at VC's expense the moment. [1] Ed Zitron speculates the actual prices with token based billing for heavy users will be something like 10x the subscription price, but this seems high.
Not that I give much credence to anything Zitron says, but the amount of inference you can get on a £200 a month OpenAI or Anthropic subscription is easily an order of magnitude more than what you'd get paying the same amount at subscription rate. Although I would also point out that OpenAI recently tripled the amount of Codex inference you get per month for £200 (and to head off the suggestion, this is distinct from…
Neither of those is how much it actually costs the company selling the service. And I have feeling they are running at loss here so the play is "get everything possible using LLMs then jack up the pricing"

My guess is that they're moving to a spot where they can pitch an LLM "doing something" as an action, and copilot is their first move. I don't see it as crazy to think of a "copilot code review" in a similar way to other build actions. But also - enterprise accounts already have budget assigned to github actions, and this allows them to start billing right away without having to actually get (or allow) businesses to…
Hang on, I read this as copilot reviews with bill both actions minutes and AI credits. Did I miss something?
