How much would this cost if I did it via API?

URLs from my pocket archive (~4200 items) were around 85k tokens, assuming a 2k output token, it would cost me 18 cents to run this via API (o3 model) [1].

Amazing.

Thanks!

I recently migrated to Linkwarden [0] from Pocket, and have been fairly happy with the decision. I haven't tried Wallabag, which is mentioned in the article. Linkwarden is open source and self-hostable. I wrote a python package [1] to ease the migration of Pocket exports to Linkwarden.

Yet another subscription. $48 per year for bookmarks.. no thanks.

I do this to determine if a person I'm talking to online is potentially a troll. I copy a big chunk of their comment and post history into an LLM and ask for a profile. The last few years, I've noticed an uptick in "concern trolls" that pretend to support a group or cause while subtly working to undermine it. LLMs can't make the ultimate judgement call very well, but they can quickly summarize enough information for…

After reading this I realized I also have an archive of my pocket account (4200 items), so tried the same prompt with o3, gemini 2.5 pro, and opus 4: - chatgpt UI didn't allow me to submit the input, saying it's too large. Although it was around 80k tokens, less than o3's 200k context size. - gemini 2.5 pro: worked fine for personality and interest related parts of the profile, but it failed the age range, job role,…

You should take this as a sign, and shoot for SWE jobs - given your interest. What you do at work today doesn't mean you can't switch to a related ladder.
