We are building a K8s management platform based on AI Agents and smart visualization. It's surprisingly hard to distill common issues down to generalizable agents which can solve real world issues but we've made some very exciting progress in the space.

I just watched someone spiral into what seems like a manic episode in realtime over the course of several weeks. They began posting to Facebook about their conversations with ChatGPT and how it discovered that based on their chat history they have 5 or 6 rare cognitive traits that make them hyper intelligent/perceptive and the likelihood of all these existing in one person is one in a trillion, so they are a special statistical anomaly.
They seem to genuinely believe that they have special powers now and have seemingly lost all self awareness. At first I thought they were going for an AI guru/influencer angle but it now looks more like genuine delusion.
Yes some of them are sacred sites for the Mayan peoples.
A cenote is an inland tidal pool connected to the ocean. Mostly found along the Riviera Maya in Mexico.
Exactly. If I had to bet I would guess their server is just straight up serving the file. I've seen that way too many times.
OP seems to think that using a .env file means your key can't be leaked because it's not in a git repo. I would bet good money one of their devs accidentally committed it, or that they put it on a server somewhere and it's being served up as a regular file.
Fair enough but wouldn't it make sense to find a co-founder vs getting paid a relatively small amount to build someone else's thing?
Certainly possible, but one of the core premises of YC is that it's easy for technical people to learn sales and marketing but the inverse is not true. So this whole trend seems weird and a bit hypocritical. I'm more curious whether it's working and if they are actually finding people that meet these insane qualifications for relatively meager salaries and equity.
Sure but this seems a bit hypocritical when YC prefers and recommends having 2 technical founders over 1 technical and one business oriented founder. One of their major premises is that it's easy to teach sales and marketing to an engineer but not easy to teach engineering to a non-technical person. In these cases it seems reversed where the founders are not technical and are hiring someone to build the whole product.
I built https://listingstory.com as a way to learn about and play with LLMs. It's unlikely to ever be a commercial success, but it served it's purpose in allowing me to learn much more about how an LLM powered app works.
So you're a beneficiary of the homeless industrial complex. Sorry but I'm not interested in anything you have to say as it's impossible for you to be objective given the amounts of money flushed through these programs.
This is a hilariously naive and silly take because SF did exactly this and continues to do so. Spoiler alert, they have massively exacerbated their homeless problems and very few are being reintegrated back into society.
I don't need to research, I deal with them on a daily basis just to go about my day because in my town they are everywhere. The fact that you are ready to simply dismiss someones lived experience based on a few flawed studies tells me everything I need to know about your agenda.
How many homeless people do you interact with daily? Because I'm forced to interact with many of them on a daily basis to simply go about my life in the Bay Area. And almost all of them, with very very few exceptions are both mentally ill and drug addicts. I used to think like you, but being forced to deal with them in real life on a daily basis has a way of killing preconceived convenient notions.
The headline as written should surprise no-one. Anyone receiving free money would probably have their life improved along some dimension, even if it just means they're not doing as many dangerous things to get money to buy more drugs. The implicit assumption seems to be that giving homeless people money to improve their lives is inherently a moral good.
Unlike many homeless advocates, I don't think it is a given that taking money by force from productive hardworking people and giving it to mentally ill drug addicts is inherently moral or good for long term societal stability.
Anyone that is surprised by this behavior from AWS probably has very little experience using it. The whole console is full of dark pattens to get you to setup larger than needed defaults and accidentally leave things running.
An AI real estate listing generator. It's pretty functional for basic use cases not but needs a lot more work to handle edge cases.
There is a note saying the tests may be expired, but it's ok because the FDA extended the expiry date. I wonder who lobbied to have that date extended, in my experience it is incredibly difficult to get the FDA to revisit things like this. Someone (Maybe USPS?) must have over ordered and didn't want to throw the extras away.
I get the same emails. Everything you said makes sense. It's interesting to me that there seems to be little internal appetite for talented devs in those regions. It seems like they could create some really amazing software products if the domestic talent was put to good use and paid fairly.
That's interesting to hear. I would have expected tech companies to come with more reasonable expectations/pay and better defined requirements. Best of luck to you and I hope things turn around soon.
Some of them definitely used ChatGPT, I can see the signs of it. But that doesn't explain why I received 100s of applications this time around vs maybe a dozen or so before.
Not sure about web dev but many of the applications I received from freelancers this time around had obvious signs of ChatGPT use in them.
That makes sense. Working with developers in India has always been frustrating to me. There is so much talent and potential there but it just gets drowned out by the noise of so many scams and low quality/effort grifters that it is hard to justify the time needed to find someone who can actually deliver. I am sure on your side it's frustrating as well trying to break through and be seen for the high quality work you do.
This section from their website is interesting:
"Real-Time Health Monitoring The most significant innovation is the proprietary real-time hull health monitoring (RTM) system. Titan is the only manned submersible to employ an integrated real-time health monitoring system. Utilizing co-located acoustic sensors and strain gauges throughout the pressure boundary, the RTM system makes it possible to analyze the effects of changing pressure on the vessel as the submersible dives deeper, and accurately assess the integrity of the structure. This onboard health analysis monitoring system provides early warning detection for the pilot with enough time to arrest the descent and safely return to surface."
I am surprised that real time monitoring of the hull is even a consideration, I would have expected it to be designed an built with massive safety margins and then inspected very thoroughly after each trip. The above paragraph seems to indicate that they would monitor hull health during the trip and stop descent if it showed signs of stress. But I am skeptical that they would see signs of stress before it simply imploded at depth.
I read Adam Tooze's Chart Book[1] and it's become the only source of information I really need to understand general macroeconomics and how it relates to the events of the world.
They've added a dozen or so more as potentially down now. Anything that uses IAM, which I suspect is the core of the issue.
It appears to be an outage in IAM which is trickling down to every service which relies on IAM auth.
So many keywords and not a lot of info about what this actually does. I am feeling more and more that most AI stuff being funded now is just crypto 2.0.
Loki is open source. OP should take some of that frustrated energy and create a PR to improve the docs. I don't think this is a matter of Grafana Inc not wanting people to run Loki themselves but rather a resource constraints issue.
