This approach seems to be everywhere. But if you have a defined workflow, requirements, clear permissions, etc, it makes more sense to feed them to codex once and have it build a website that can be audited once and then runs deterministica

I was expecting this to be the point of the article when I saw the title. Popular projects appear to be drowning in PRs that are almost certainly AI generated. OpencodeCli has 1200 open at the moment[1]. Aider, which is sort of abandoned ha

All the use cases that popped into my head when I saw this were around how nice it would be to be able to quickly see what was really happening without trying to flop between logs and the AWS console. That's really how I use k9s and wo

Thinking about this some more, maybe I wasn't considering simulators (aka digital twins), which are supposed to be able to create fairly reliable feedback loops without building things in reality. Eg will this plane design be able to

This is sort of why I think software development might be the only real application of LLMs outside of entertainment. We can build ourselves tight little feedback loops that other domains can't. I somewhat frequently agree on a plan wi

I was hoping Bash would go away or get replaced at some point. It's starting to look like it's going to be another 20 years of Bash but with AI doodads.

How fast is it?

I've never had that great of a memory. The upside is that you can have a bad memory and good note taking skills and be more effective than the 'good memory' people. Really it's just that I forget in a day what other peop

And the implication is the 'quality' of engineers at the companies is actually reversed - the top performers at Dropbox are struggling and leaving while the under performers at FANG are struggling and leaving.

This looks kind of interesting. I might try this. Thanks.

Fair enough. Although that seems rather complicated for those of us just trying to get a quick cert for an internal host. The LetsEncrypt forums are full of this discussion: [1] https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/white

Another nuisance is that unencrypted port 80 must be open to the outside world to do the acme negotiation (LE servers must be able to talk to your acme client running at the subdomain that wants a cert). They also intentionally don't p

There are lots of simple things that are normally easier to do in the web framework that are suddenly easier to do in the database (with the side effect that you can do DB optimizations much easier). But the other consideration is that you

I'm on a POC project that's using PostgREST and it's been extremely fast to get a big complicated data model working with an API in front of it. But I guess I don't get how to really use this thing in reality? What does

That's what I want... this would force me to make a different account for every topic I might comment/post on, and they can have their own local networks. If it's a topic that I know a lot about (eg what I do at my day job),

Ok but how do I know I should trust Cure53?
17.
by pgroves 5y ago
This is a research university that moves very slow, so waiting two years for something better is actually a possibility (and prerendering to S3 works ok for now). I'll keep this bookmarked.

by pgroves 5y ago
Thanks, I hadn't heard of that and I will look into it. This is a research setting with plenty of hardware we can request and not a huge number of users so that part doesn't worry me.

by pgroves 5y ago
This is on our list of possibilities. It would take a little more time than I'd like to spend on this problem but it would work.

How to make png encoding much faster? I'm working with large medical images and after a bit of work we can do all the needed processing in under a second (numpy/scipy methods). But then the encoding to png is taking 9-15secs. As a

My boss did UI/UX on Mosaic (we are both at NCSA today). I will ask her on Tuesday when I see her. She has lots of wild stories about why things are the way they are.

Looks really nice. The big blob of parameters in the kwargs looks pretty intimidating to get correct. Maybe consider a builder object for the config: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Builder_pattern . It would probably be

The nice thing about programming on a RaspberryPI is that the only websites that are light enough to use are Google, Stackoverflow, Github, ReadTheDocs, etc. If you try to check Reddit/Twitter/Facebook you get frustrated with how

All it needs to be able to do is page-down or scroll-down and I want it (I have RSI problems in my hands).

Thanks for saying this ^^, it's the best explanation of what this thing actually is (sorry but I didn't really get it from the homepage). Define a state of infrastructure using a real sdk (not yaml files) and it can figure out and

Except for occasional flare ups, mine is pretty much gone and at worst was pretty debilitating (eg hurt to pick up a glass of water). I think all of these do a lot: - Exercises and stretches from the pdfs here: https://orthoinfo.

I don't think it matters much b/c of the super low volume but I do have it behind Cloudflare free-tier.

This is correct. Why would I put any more effort into it?

I have my site in an S3 bucket with the static-site flag activated. It would not win for 'easiest'. However, it's the only thing in my personal AWS account right now and my monthly bill is $0.83

Index fund performance is starting to sound exactly like "house prices have never gone down" in 2005.
