dkoyon Pacing model development in an era of cyber-critical capabilities

> We aim to issue an alert within 30 minutes after concerning activity is surfaced through our monitoring system. If the monitoring system identifies a likely violation of a critical security boundary, it generates a highest-priority alert. In our current implementation, the safety, security, and research teams are paged. If they cannot conclusively determine within 30 minutes that the flag is a false positive, those teams are expected to pause the activity.

Can't a lot happen within ~60 minutes?

Have been doing this for ~3 years as a way to bring into the industry. Has more or less worked (to that end), but the art of finding + maintaining a pipeline of potential clients while working contracts full-time to sustain a family is.. difficult. (And now that I'm qualified to get a real job in the industry, many raise eyebrows at the plethora of short-term contracts).

I'm happy to hear it's been working out for you, though. How do you manage/succeed?

dkoyon Show HN: SnackBase – Open-source, GxP-compliant back end for Python teams

Briefly checked out the repo and demo, looks neat!

Bookmarked to keep a tab on for future reference.

I noticed that SQLAlchemy (an ORM) is part of the stack, and that “Postgres support” is in the roadmap. For people coming from Supabase and the like which is Postgres-first, some upfront clarification around which database is already supported, would be helpful.
