there is a quite big stackoverflow discussion about ideas how to protect your email on your website: https://stackoverflow.com/q/163628/1216595
cyptus··on Testcontainers
how do you handle resetting a sql database after every integration test? Testcontainers may help here by spinning up a new instance for every test but that seems very slow
cyptus··on Show HN: Searchbase – Plug-n-play semantic/fuzzy search for your data
What I struggle with solutions like this is permissions. When having a permission system like row level security in place for sql, how to rewrite all this logic for the search queries?
cyptus··on SQL as API
Is there any standard for describing filters in json like this, or any well known library that is also able to parse this back to expressions?

cyptus··on Ask HN: Is it just me or GPT-4's quality has significantly deteriorated lately?
same for me - also the api itself is very unstable sometimes the same prompt finish’s within a minute, sometimes our client timesout after 10 minutes and sometimes the api sends a 502 bad gateway after 5-10 minutes. the very same request then runs fine within a few minutes after a delay of 5 minutes. the results vary very much, even with a temperature of 0.1

requests that needs responses with over ~2k tokens almost always fails, the 8k cannot be used

I try to use the api for classification of tickets, which i thought the model would be a good choice to use for

cyptus··on Ask HN: Handle customer DB access in SaaS
thank you! these customers are not ready for an self-hosted app with this pricetag, i am searching for kind of an way in between these solutions. i think we are on the right way now.
cyptus··on Ask HN: Handle customer DB access in SaaS
thank you, for sure this will be an enterprise feature
cyptus··on Ask HN: Handle customer DB access in SaaS
which makes the cheaper approach by filling a second database by events and providing access even better, just want to check if i didn’t miss any simple option as for sure these kind of requests are quite common in b2b
cyptus··on Ask HN: Handle customer DB access in SaaS
Not that big as the costs for an own database or complete copy would suffice, including administrative expense
cyptus··on Ask HN: Azure has run out of compute – anyone else affected?
Interesting is that you can get instances in dev/test subscriptions without any trouble.
cyptus··on Ask HN: Azure has run out of compute – anyone else affected?
same goes for every App service, no matter which instance size
cyptus··on Ask HN: Azure has run out of compute – anyone else affected?
we tried escalating this through CASM and it did not work. The region is blocked for every quota, even a single instance.
cyptus··on Ask HN: Azure has run out of compute – anyone else affected?
we have the same issue and escalated it through multiple azure teams.

our quota has been silently set to 0 while there where still instances running. this worked fine until auto-scale scaled the instances down in the night to 1. at the start of the day auto scale was not able to scale back up to the initial amount which did lead into heavy performance issues and outages. we needed to move the instances as azure support did not help us. after many calls with azure and multiple teams involved we finally did not get the quota approved (even if we did have it already and was not asking for „new“ quotas).

also we decided to not be able to host in the German azure region anymore. Even if we could get the quota this is a business risk we don’t want to bear anymore to not be able to scale for unexpected traffic.

this is huge for us as our application requires German servers. We are still in research where to host in future.

cyptus··on Barclays using TeamViewer font to warn customers
but only because the local service in this example is not prepared to accept the websocket connection, the teamviewer client would be able to do this to enable some functions on the teamviewer website if a instance is running
cyptus··on Barclays using TeamViewer font to warn customers
shouldn’t it work by using websockets to localhost?
cyptus··on Barclays using TeamViewer font to warn customers
does teamviewer start any webserver on a local port which the banking page could connect to and check a _running_ instance? Would be much more interesting for fraud detection than a _installed_ instance

i did have the same issue today
cyptus··on WordPress themes, plugins backdoored in supply chain attack

cyptus··on At Axel Springer, Politico’s New Owner, Allegations of Sex, Lies, Secret Payment
> An editor of a German newspaper fucked an intern. International breaking news.

Julian Reichelt is one of most (if not the most) powerful chief editor in Germany. The story does not end with "he fucked an intern" but Axel Springer is using its power to make this story not public. Mr. Dirk Ippen (biggest shareholder of ippen medias) prevents huge publications from multiple medias of months of investigations to this case:

yes i am using outlook, would be awesome to see some approach here. I thought of AI as there are so many different ways of mail thread formartings these days.
cyptus··on Lobe.ai – A simple tool for training machine learning models
i am really looking for an ai service which is able to detect signatures and threads out of email messages and extract the „real new message“ part - does anyone know some tool?
