kochieon Amazon S3 now supports the ability to append data to an object

AWS ranks features based on potential income from customers. Normally there’s a fairly big customer PFR needed to get a service team to implement a new feature.

kochieon Show HN: I made a Note-Taking app for people who keep texting themselves

Looks good! I like the idea of not taking based on a timeline like this. Something to consider in the future is the context of the notes. It would be great to automatically have photos and locations added to a note. Tags and hashtags for people and themes would also be great.

Looking forward to seeing this evolve!

kochieon Show HN: RedactiveGPT – Access your live permissioned data in ChatGPT

We've built this on top of our API, if you go to https://api.redactive.ai/api/docs you can see how to build custom agents.

kochieon Show HN: RedactiveGPT – Access your live permissioned data in ChatGPT

RedactiveGPT, is a custom GPT that brings real-time, permissioned data access to ChatGPT, seamlessly integrating platforms like Jira, Confluence, and Slack. It indexes your information and respects the permissions associated with that information without requiring complex setup. The GPT utilises Redactive's RAG technology to ensure live data interaction while maintaining strict data security through user-defined permissions. You can login now with a business domain and start asking question to your own data. It also integrates with existing workflows to allow people to build custom agents. We are keen to see what people are able to do with this!

kochieon Flux Pinning in sample of LK-99?

That's not true. Here's a video from a few years ago [showing a superconductor flux pinning](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSojjjvRCR0). You can see from the video it's moving around. Also if it didn't move when you applied a force to it that would be quite the immovable object.

kochieon Ask HN: Could you share your personal blog here?

https://blog.kochie.io

I'm trying to get into the habit of posting regularly as a way of remembering what I've done and to warn other that might stray from the path.

kochieon ‘Confirming we are cleared to land?’ Who said what at Austin

Because adding more technology doesn’t always makes things work better. I like this idea but the problem is you’ve just added another point of failure.

Sure it may avoid this situation, but how many aircraft lifted off and landed at airports in the same day? In America I’d hazard a guess at aground the tens of thousands. Any new system has to reduce the complexity or risks of flying and that’s very hard to do.

I’m not an aviation expert either but it’s assume that some form of system exists for this also in a more manual form.

kochieon What does an idle CPU do? (2014)

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Halt and Catch Fire - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halt_and_Catch_Fire_(computing...

kochieon Ask HN: Share your personal site

https://me.kochie.io

I've iterated on this design for a few years now, mixing in different technologies to get it where it is now. It's build on next.js and tailwind, I'm really happy with it. Personal websites are such a great way to be creative.

kochieon Ben Stiller’s New Series Is a Sci-Fi Take on Office Space

So... it's a glimpse into working for Facebook/Meta in 2030?

kochieon AWS Ground Station

Absolutely, so it’s possible to connect to weather satellites like NOAA-20 and Aqua and pull down the data from them as they pass. Check out the CloudFormation templates to get started. 1. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ground-station/latest/ug/custome... 2. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ground-station/latest/ug/choose-...

kochieon Everything I googled in a week as a professional software engineer (2019)

I think a good way of looking at it is like the knowledge circles where everything inside the circle is stuff you don’t google but everything outside is things you do. Over time the circle expands as you learn more but this leads to more things you need to google.

kochieon Everything I googled in a week as a professional software engineer (2019)

I try to find the balance between both of these options. I think it’s important to remember that just because someone wrote a blog post recently doesn’t mean it’s better. It also depends what you consider “core” knowledge, as an example I don’t need to google how to rebase anymore but I sure as heck do google something new about git every week.

kochieon Everything I googled in a week as a professional software engineer (2019)

I google a lot in my job as well, but one thing I’m trying to do is reduce the number of repetitive searches I do and remembering what to do afterwards. I think part of personal development is learning how to do something and not relying on google or any other reference because as we’re all aware they’re will be a time when stack overflow or GitHub goes down.

kochieon Compensate for Rockchip calendar deviation on November 31st (2015)

We're quickly approaching the point where it's going to be easier (and cheaper) to fix calendar glitches in reality rather than in the kernel.

kochieon Saying Good Bye to Hey.com

Out of all the services I pay for the $50 a year I pay for Fastmail has to be the best value for money I get.

Fastmail really is a no nonsense email provider that just works and the R&D work they're doing is going to be worthwhile in the near future.
