ruben81adon I think Anthropic and OpenAI have found product-market fit

I have 26 years experience. I code using GLM-5.1. Fron time to time I switch to Codex / Claude, and honestly I don't understand why people uses Claude or codex. With the right prompting, GLM is awesome.

ruben81adon Is the RAM shortage killing small VPS hosts?

AWS EC2 does not migrate between hosts - They want you to pay more for redundancy, and they encourage you to use all the tools (paying for every single byte processed or transferred, of course). And if it is goes down, it is because you didn't follow AWS best practices (= paying even more)

It can be done.

Additionally, companies are realising that they are pretty much using a minor offering of the AWS products, competitors are catching up, and every day there are lessser reasons to pay the AWS premium.

ruben81adon Cybersecurity training programs don't prevent phishing scams

I have created an internal tool for my company. They are plugins that are installed in the browsers for the computers owned by the business, and reports the domain when you open a new browser or tab with a url that you did not manually typed. If blacklisted, it completely blocks the browser. If it is the first time we see the domain, we display a pop up “think before you act” and the it department will dive deep to whitelist it.

The first week there is a bit of noise while we whitelisted the common domains used by the users. After that it really puts you back on alert when you clicked on a email that takes you to new domains - that could be used for phishing.

As a noob in fine tuning, question: how did you decided the values of the hyper parameters ?
