O(n^2) is fast enough to end up I'm production and slow enough to cause problems at scale. The worst troublesome cases of inefficient production are almost always O(n^2).

Speaking from my experience, it does scale to zero except you pay for 15 mins after the last request. So if you get all your requests in a 2 hours window then that's great. It will scale to zero for rest of the 22 hours. However, if yo

Yeah, anyone who uses GCP and AWS thoroughly will agree that GCP is a superior developer experience. The problem is continuous product churn. This was discussed at length at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41614795

I love Google Cloud Run and highly recommend it as the best option[1]. The Cloud Run GPU, however is not something I can recommend. It is not cost effective (instance based billing is expensive as opposed to request based billing), GPU choi

I would have loved more details on what you can accomplish with Devia that you can't do with Gradio or streamlit.

Here's a general rule that I follow along with this and that is "write tests along the axis of minimum change"[1]. Such tests are more valuable and require less maintenance over time. 1 - https://ashishb.net/p

Imagine you are reading files which can be of varying size (KB to GB). A byte array will do a contiguous allocation of the file size. A Reader can be much more thoughtful. And I say "can be" because someone can make Reader as inef

I was skeptical too because of the version number and then uv won me with a quick migration and insane speed. There docs around GitHub Actions and docker are also pretty succinct and usable.

Congrats on the launch. Here are my two cents, as I am very familiar with this space[1][2] The problem of trying to position your product as "an easy way to deploy on over GCP" or "an easier way to do K8s" is that your p
