Here's my latest weirdly specific GPT-4 enhanced project: we wanted to measure the temperature of a microwave Raku kiln (yes, that's a thing - talk to @natbat about it) over time without tediously watching the thermometer for hours... so instead we recorded a video of the thermometer then used ffmpeg and Google Cloud Vision to OCR readings from it into a database https://til.simonwillison.net/googlecloud/video-frame-ocr

This is another example of how ChatGPT et al are making me more ambitious in my projects: normally I would have got as far as "we could video it and then split the video up into frames every 10s and run OCR..." - and then given up on the project, because figuring out how to do that would take longer than just sitting next to the thermometer and writing the measurements down by hand https://simonwillison.net/2023/Mar/27/ai-enhanced-development/

@simon Have you considered streaming a project like this? Would be interesting to see how you’re using ChatGPT in real time!

Just noticed that was my 400th TIL post! I started writing these back in April 2020 - I really like the format because the only bar to "is this worth publishing" is "did I just learn a new thing?": https://til.simonwillison.net/

@daveharrington I've not been brave enough to stream anything before, but I have thought about maybe recording a video of one at some point

@simon Nice! Do you actually ever go back to past ones to remind you of that thing you learned?

@simon I like this format and might steal it to get me started writing 🙂

@simon @iansu I like this idea as well, but I don’t want to leave my IDE to do it. hmmm… many ways to shear that sheep

@simon @natbat this is great! I’ve been idly considering doing something similar with the display on my water softener.

@simon Why not just use a sensor? For example with an arduino or raspberrypi.

@aijooyoom I'd have to research one, then buy it, then wait for it to arrive, then figure out how to use it
