What’s in high demand for freelancers and easiest for beginners to start?
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1rppoqy/whats_in_high_demand_for_freelancers_and_easiest/

<!-- SC_OFF -->A friend suggested that web frontend, backend, maybe fullstack, or app development (Android/iOS) are the easiest to learn as a beginner and are also in demand. Is this true? How should I decide which one to choose, and where can I learn it? <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/Hot-Advisor-3353 (https://www.reddit.com/user/Hot-Advisor-3353)

What it costs to run 1M image search in production
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1rpx54f/what_it_costs_to_run_1m_image_search_in_production/

<!-- SC_OFF -->I priced out every piece of infrastructure for running CLIP-based image search on 1M images in production GPU inference is 80% of the bill. A g6.xlarge running OpenCLIP ViT-H/14 costs $588/month and handles 50-100 img/s. CPU inference gets you 0.2 img/s which is not viable Vector storage is cheap. 1M vectors at 1024 dims is 4.1 GB. Pinecone $50-80/month, Qdrant $65-102, pgvector on RDS $260-270. Even the expensive option is small compared to GPU S3 + CloudFront: under $25/month for 500 GB of images Backend: a couple t3.small instances behind an ALB with auto scaling. $57-120/month Totals: Moderate traffic (~100K searches/day): $740/month Enterprise (~500K+ searches/day): $1,845/month <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/K3NCHO (https://www.reddit.com/user/K3NCHO)
