rainboiboi··on Statement on US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5
I feel like this is more of a marketing campaign for Anthropic than anything.
rainboiboi··on Launch HN: Neptyne (YC W23) – A programmable spreadsheet that runs Python
I noticed that AlphaSheets is no longer in operation - couldn't find the website. What happened?
rainboiboi··on Homebrew 4.0.0
Thank you for the hard work in maintaining Brew!
rainboiboi··on Updates to Google Cloud’s infrastructure capabilities and pricing
I do expect AWS to capitalize on this and persuade GCP customers to switch. I have no idea why GCP thinks that their customers are sticky enough to stay with them through the price increase.
rainboiboi··on Ask HN: What ML platform are you using?
I created something that lets you get free GPU on VS Code with Google Colab with just 1-click. Have a look at https://github.com/DerekChia/colab-vscode

This is my default go-to as a poor man ML setup, with environment and dependencies set up automatically via bash script on start up.

rainboiboi··on Show HN: Kaedim – API for 3D User Generated Content
Yup, would love to see more examples how this works!
rainboiboi··on Ask HN: Is it still worth learning Kubernetes in 2022?
Thanks, I agree that AWS Sagemaker would make sense and I'm already in the process of mastering it.
rainboiboi··on Ask HN: Is it still worth learning Kubernetes in 2022?
I define it as an opportunity cost to learning another technology or language that is in demand in the market. In other words, my perspective is from a career building (increasing total compensation, i.e. $) point of view.
rainboiboi··on Ask HN: Is it still worth learning Kubernetes in 2022?
Yes, I suspect there would be a rise in multi-cloud setup and K8s skills might be valuable here.
rainboiboi··on Ask HN: Is it still worth learning Kubernetes in 2022?
I have the opportunity to setup a K8s cluster (simple one) on-prem and get it to work. It was an interesting experience.

But I'm also cognizant that as more applications are built on top of cloud native services (AWS/Azure/GCP), how relevant then would K8s be?

rainboiboi··on 50 Things I Learned from the Amazon Management System
hi HN - I wrote this as a summary from what I have learned reading the book. As I have no prior encounter to Amazon's culture, this is quite an eye-opening. However, this coincides with the AWS incident [0] and I'm cross examining the principles with their response and the comments. Hope to write a following post to dissect it.

rainboiboi··on Canonical Multipass – Ubuntu VMs on demand for any workstation
Just curious - are there anyone using this at scale? Multipass has existed for quite some time and I frequently go back to the website to check for new features but always see the same thing.
rainboiboi··on DownThemAll (2019)
Whoa, never thought I can put in a word of thanks directly to the creator of DownThemAll. Thank you for your contribution - this made my teenager days much more fulfilling. =)
rainboiboi··on Show HN: Use your own clusters to train, track, deploy, and monitor ML models
How is this different from [1] deepnote? I have been using them for quite a while and it is a joy collaborating on notebooks real-time.

Thanks everyone for providing the insights, I have no ill-intention, just asking for curiosity sake.

Just wondering - would the engineer who made the mistake be fired?

Great dataset, thanks!
rainboiboi··on Open source applications for macOS
Some of the applications are way too old. Consult this list with a pinch of salt.
rainboiboi··on Shipping Clubhouse on Android in ten weeks
Let's face it - Clubhouse used to be interesting because the "high-value" people they managed to attract at the very beginning. As the hype falters, what's left is a bunch of "normal/man-on-the-street" people who contribute relatively low-value signals. They need to crack the longtail problem before they can take off again.
rainboiboi··on Fooling Neural Networks [pdf]

same, i guess dropbox went downhill from the day they did the UI/UX redesign

rainboiboi··on Google adds experimental setting to hide full URLs in Chrome 85 address bar
Can someone explain why Google is doing this? I cannot figure out why it can benefit anyone (or to Google).
rainboiboi··on Google Cloud Partial Outage
I guess the number of comments here reflect how many people are using Google Cloud - apparently not much?
rainboiboi··on Nasdaq Acquires Quandl to Advance the Use of Alternative Data
I understand every single word you said and fully agree with you. Good point!
rainboiboi··on Nasdaq Acquires Quandl to Advance the Use of Alternative Data
I think data scientists needs to produce more actionable insights as oppose to living in their own world. I suspect there will be an rising group of people who can understand data science techniques and communicate them effectively to drive business decisions. These people will be the ones who can clinch the top posts.
