I'm a cloud infrastructure & devops engineer, focusing on healthcare and compliance, and Kubernetes on GKE or EKS. I love Terraform, k8s, and am very fast at architecting and deploying new infra.

I also like to surf and do analog photography.

technics256··on A failed AI girlfriend product, and my lessons

I even tried it myself, lying in bed and creating sexual fantasies with Dolores through text, culminating in ejaculation.

This was an excellent read. And I applaud the creator for experimenting with this to the fullest.

technics256··on DockerHub container pulls are failing

Any mirrors we can use for images like golang, etc?

technics256··on Show HN: Gogosseract, a Go Lib for CGo-Free Tesseract OCR via Wazero

Off topic but in general how does something like this compare to cloud hosted ocr solutions?

technics256··on Life lessons from the death bed

This was a very touching piece. Thanks for sharing.

technics256··on Using Goatse to Stop App Theft

Haha yes. We even found a magic eye/autostereogram of goatse once. Was pretty epic.

"Hey come check out this amazing magic eye". Boom!

technics256··on Using Goatse to Stop App Theft

I saw it the first time as a kid. My friends and I tried to trick each other to see it too. I'm fine. We're fine.

technics256··on Atlassian Acquires Loom

If you have a mac, Cleanshot X I find is better across the board

cleanshot.com

technics256··on Show HN: HyperDX – open-source dev-friendly Datadog alternative

Is there a guide for integrating this in local dev, either locally or if you want to view it on the hosted?

Ideally hosted, devs can bring up our app locally, and view their logs and traces etc when testing and building

That's funny, I've only ever used Atlantis with a smattering of tfc

technics256··on Every time you click this link, it will send you to a random Web 1.0 website

This gave me very happy proustian moments

technics256··on Claude 2 Internal API Client and CLI

In my experience it is very hollow. It skips details unless you force it to.

Gpt4 is still way better

technics256··on Brute.Fail: Watch brute force attacks fail in real time

Guess it got brute forced

technics256··on Ask HN: Is it just me or GPT-4's quality has significantly deteriorated lately?

I really liked phind, but the new model doesn't compare to GPT4. I'd gladly, gladly pay to get the original phind back.

technics256··on Ask HN: Is it just me or GPT-4's quality has significantly deteriorated lately?

it's also really, really bad and fails compared to even open source models right now.

technics256··on The end of the accounting search

Can you elaborate? Just started building out a new platform centered on it

technics256··on 100K Context Windows

You likely got rejected. Was the same for me and I reapplied with a good use case and was let in

technics256··on 100K Context Windows

I have access to claude. It's not bad, but decently behind gpt4 for code

technics256··on PaLM 2 Technical Report [pdf]

PaLM 2 on HumanEval coding benchmark (0 shot):

37.6% success

GPT-4:

67% success

Not even close, gpt4 miles ahead

it did? not for me on my admin workspace account--how long did it take? :/

Was just thinking the same. But where is it from? Tailwindui?

That's a beautiful town

technics256··on My grandmother died at home, just as she wanted. It cost $145,000

What city in Mexico?

technics256··on Ask HN: What $500-2500 product improved your 2022

A bit unrelated, but I've been a runner my whole life and have been injured the past few months from plantar fasciitis.

Curious if you have any recommendations there.

technics256··on Ask HN: Has anyone here turned around their life in their 40s?

I agree with what other posters say. The big thing is learning to forgive yourself and taking active steps every day in healthy habits.

That, and a session with MDMA will work wonders
