I thought my SSH keys were revoked, whew.
nkzd··on Claude now has access to a server-side container environment
Hi, I believe my current Claude subscription is going to waste. Can I ask what 3$ plan are you referring to?
nkzd··on Imagen 4 is now generally available
I am currently building an AI product which relies on Imagen 3 to generate a lot of photorealistic, cinematic or HDR images. I tried Imagen 4 during preview, but results were too "cartoonish". Did anyone else have the same experience?

nkzd··on Nvidia Becomes First Company to Reach $4T Market Cap
I don't fundamentally get it. How can a fragile company which doesn't even make their own chips be the most valuable company in the world. Why is it not some oil or shipping company? Something more "fundamental" in sense. Can someone explain how can Nvidia make so much money selling inference to big silicon valley companies?
nkzd··on Successful people set constraints rather than chasing goals
I recognised myself in this one. Good job.
nkzd··on Tarpit ideas: What are tarpit ideas and how to avoid them (2023) [video]

> because they have zero clue about how to network and sell to other businesses. It's easy to set up a shopify account. It's hard to cold call your first prospect. Do you even have any prospects? Do you know how to find them?

I've found my current job at Remotive dot com. Not a lot of jobs compared to other job boards however.
nkzd··on Java is dying and it paid off my mortgage
Dying is maybe a strong word, but I think it's popularity is dropping. Couple of newer backend languages eating it's share of the pie, like Go or Typescript. I believe this trend will as more and more colleges replace Java curriculum with Python I guess.
nkzd··on IRC Driven – modern IRC indexing site and search engine
I've always wondered, why was IRC not developed further? Some of the features people take for granted in chat clients today never made it to IRC.
nkzd··on Tokyo is set to introduce a four-day workweek for government employees
I am not sure about this one. In the past, quality of life was terrible compared to modern life but fertility was not an issue.
nkzd··on Managing Large-Scale Redis Clusters on K8s – Kuaishou's Approach
In companies I've worked at I noticed databases (Both SQL and No-SQL) are never hosted in Kubernetes clusters. I am looking for opinions of more senior folks on why is that? Is Kubernetes simply not mature enough?
nkzd··on GraalPy – A high-performance embeddable Python 3 runtime for Java
What is the use-case for GraalPy? To be honest I don't understand why would anyone want to use it.

I use NearDrop for sharing files between my Samsung and Macbook: https://github.com/grishka/NearDrop
nkzd··on Anabolic response to protein ingestion has no upper limit in humans
Can you summarize what does this mean for an average gym goer? Should I take protein immediately after workout?
nkzd··on Ask HN: Daily practices for building AI/ML skills?
Hey, I am a classic backend software engineer looking to learn how to do things you mentioned. I believe if I learn these skills, I will know how to make "shovels" during gold rush :)

Can you recommend any learning resources for things you mentioned? I don't have an option to learn these on my current job, so it will be hard to structure CV to prove my future employers I know them when I don't have real world experience.

nkzd··on Ask HN: How can a Backend Engineer capitalize on the AI trend?
That's great, but what I am basically interested in, what roles will be in more demand if AI goes mainstream? Will demand for Data engineers or DevOps increase? I want to be a shovel seller.
nkzd··on Ask HN: What AI startups are hiring?
I would also like to know.
