If it becomes obvious that LLM's have a more narrow set of use cases, rather than the all encompassing story we hear today, then I would bet that the LLM platforms (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc) will start developing products to comp

Yeah Hetzner is amazing and I think if you’re looking at a single app for costs in the $5 range, it’s probably not worth it to use k8s. The magic with k8s is being able to easily host third party packages via helm. I often find for anything

Yep! I should mention that on the website. The only thing that was innovative about that is doing docker-in-docker builds which is as simple as mounting /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock in the containe

Shameless plug: I’m building https://canine.sh as a way of turning any managed kubernetes cluster into something as easy to use as Heroku. It’s been super frustrating in the past to be stuck on expensive PaaS vendors, but then r

The early warning signs are quite stark -- the BC liberal party (despite having no affiliation with the national liberals) effectively disbanded because of how awful the branding is at this point, and the most left leaning province in the

incumbents all around the world have performed terribly post COVID. UK, Canada, Japan, France, Italy, have all had landslide or shocking election results. Unsure what the general mood is that can lead to Keir Starmer dropping 30 points in a

We tried this approach at a former company with ~600 engineers at the time. Trying to boot the full service on a single machine required every single developer in the company installing ~50ish microservices on their machine, for things to w

I love this stuff, ignore all the haters! Just here to show my support! I'll be sure to throw this on my twitter bio as long as it stays up :) https://lynx.boo/chriszhu

For me Bret dereveaux is the Matt Levine of classical, Hellenistic, roman, and medieval history. https://acoup.blog (Never miss a chance to promote him, when I can!)

Actually, the $1 thing is a relic, I just removed it. I have no pricing whats so ever, since all canine has to do is connect to your cluster and do all the hard work there, it is totally free :)

I’m building a way for developers to easily deploy open source applications (Postgres, redis, sentry, elastic search, etc), plus have a full heroku like workflow for their own applications, all within their kubernetes cluster, with what I h

I think in that vein sports betting is also regulated, although I don't know the exact regulations, I do know that you still need a license.

by czhu12 2y ago
Well, I'd argue the net negative effects are people who enjoy responsible sports gambling aren't able to do it anymore. The state can of course, claim that no one should be gambling on sports anyways, so its not a problem that peo

I'm kind of the in "hey its their choice" camp but would love to hear an alternative perspective. My main gripe is that it seems like a strangely weird place to decide where we need protection. I would think a similar article

I loved the tensor puzzles you made. I spent the morning revisiting and liking all the videos on youtube you've made. Hope for many more in the future!

Given that LLMs learn by scraping the internet, wouldnt that imply the answer to how to conduct a cyberattack was freely accessible from the internet the whole time?

Could not agree more, these days I feel like I only really read more technical posts where "sour grapes" comments are hard to insert. Basically anything about politics, tech, finance, management, news, the top few comments are so

How do these tools source data for alternative keywords, visits per site, visitor breakdowns, etc, competitor rankings, etc The only thing I can imagine is buying it from chrome plugins. How else would you scrape Google at that rate?

Having never used after effects, I would like to say that photopea has probably been my favorite piece of software in the last 10 years. I diligently disable Adblock on that website and have donated a few times in the past to support them.

> doesn't require every single function to be pure having never done F# or haskell, doesn't that start getting into the territory of languages that encourage functional programming like ruby or javascript (modern javascript)?

No reason other than that cloudflare is quite a nice reverse proxy and I already use it for managing my DNS's. Thus far, I've not noticed any issues with it, other than when my home wifi goes down.

The problem is not that I want peoples real information, I really couldn't care less. It's the fact that some of these are clearly the same people creating hundreds of emails to just keep resubscribing to a free trial. I could tel

I do the same thing with cloudflare tunnels and managing the cloudflare tunnel process and the llama.cpp server with systemd on my home internet. Have a 13B running on a 3070 with 16 gpu layers and the rest running off CPU. Performs okay, b

I’ve launched apps with free trials in the past and when I allowed email, there were 100 fake emails from temporary email services for every 1 real one. Had to do more work to block those as they were eating up all the resources from paying

As a counter point to this, I’ve witnessed the practice of designing these processes to terminate someone creates a ton of burnout for the manager. Expect to spend at least 20% of your time managing the PIP. Documentation, one on ones, baby

This may be a dumb question but: What is a weather station exactly? How much does the hardware cost to install and then set up an interface to send data to this system?

it was indexing and mutating arrays / hashmaps that students had trouble with. Certainly a very different programming model than what’s presented in racket, with recursive iterations. Of course with years of experience it’s easy to int

I also was at UBC for that class and left with a totally different impression. I thought it was awful and set up introductory students very poorly for subsequent CS classes, especially data structures and algorithms that were taught in impe
