mathverse··on Automatic K8s pod placement to match external service zones
If you have the setup on 3 AZs how would you route traffic only to the AZ where your RDS resides?
mathverse··on Automatic K8s pod placement to match external service zones
Typically you have multi-az setup for app deployment for HA. How would you without traffic management controll solve this?
mathverse··on Tauri binding for Python through Pyo3
I have never seen a Tauri app that was significantly less bloated than Electron. Can you share any?
mathverse··on Handy – Free open-source speech-to-text app written in Rust
Yeah exactly. Tbh Tauri is touted as more lightweight than Electron but I have never seen a Tauri application that lived up to this claim.
mathverse··on Handy – Free open-source speech-to-text app written in Rust
But do you start onnx and whisper.cpp on fresh install / start? I did nothing. I literally just installed the app and started it without selectin a model.
mathverse··on Handy – Free open-source speech-to-text app written in Rust
You dont have that using Electron app as well. The runtime is bundled with the binary.
mathverse··on Handy – Free open-source speech-to-text app written in Rust
Even being in Tauri this application just by doing these things takes around 120MB on my M3 Max. It's truly astonishing how modern desktop apps are essentially doing nothing and yet consume so much resources.

- it sets icon on the menubar - it display a window where I can choose which model to use

That's it. 120MB FOR doing nothing.

mathverse··on Abundant Intelligence
I think AI compute is one of the biggest grifts of century. A capital that is being redistributed from talented people to this compute when we can clearly see it is not making a huge difference (oai vs deepseek) feels like a grift.
mathverse··on SAP splashes €20B on Euro sovereign cloud push
As a european I dont believe in European anything. I worked for European scale-ups and they are all bunch of nationalists that primarily succeed in their primary country and then fail to expand in any other country because they meet the local alternative.

The best market to expand besides your own Euro-country is the US but tthen when you enter that market you are too small of a fish to do anything.

There is no such thing as european companies. It's german companies, french companies all mainly focused on their main markets.

mathverse··on SAP splashes €20B on Euro sovereign cloud push
Lol. They are not paneuropean companies. All of them have different nationalities and priorities. Europeans cant work together on mega projects due to their strong nationalism.
mathverse··on Mark Zuckerberg freezes AI hiring amid bubble fears
To me AI is a like phone business. A few companies (Apple,Samsung) will manage to score a homerun and the rest will be destined to offer commoditized products.
mathverse··on SK hynix dethrones Samsung as world’s top DRAM maker
Korean conglomerates are focused on hard sciences and there is very little room to do anything else that's why they excel here. They hire from the best Ivy style schools in Korea and focus on cutting edge stuff or improving cutting edge manufacturing

Here's the catch. Because of these constraints Korean conglomerates dont create as many jobs.Korean software or services industry is almost non existent or heavily constrained to Korea.

mathverse··on Why Nim?
Nim is a programming language for an expert programmer. The ecosystem is very small and for everything a little bit more specialized you need to make a library yourself.
mathverse··on Why there are so many more South Asian CEOs than East Asian CEOs in the US
But that is what's happening in Singapore.
mathverse··on Why there are so many more South Asian CEOs than East Asian CEOs in the US
Racial quotas for non chinese :)
mathverse··on Why there are so many more South Asian CEOs than East Asian CEOs in the US
Sheer numbers. In Singapore there is more chinese ceos than indian.

I am not american so i wonder what is the situation like in US but in Singapore it is very visible that each race stick to its own and pushes its own up. Indians to indians, chinese to chinese, filipinos to filipinos.

SG is touted to be multicultural but what is the true meaning of this?

mathverse··on .NET 10 Preview 6 brings JIT improvements, one-shot tool execution
I would not touch C# unless you are already using it. Microsoft proves over and over it cannot be trusted in what they say. Watch what they do:

- basically dont use ant UI framework they say is the future and they are not using themselves - be vary of the future of some of it stuff like C#

mathverse··on The North Korean fake IT worker problem is ubiquitous
Because it's contractors. You are not an employer in that person's country.
mathverse··on The North Korean fake IT worker problem is ubiquitous
This is entirely US's companies fault for not favorizing people from 1st world countries. At this point it's not a question of $ but not really giving a shit.

If you have 2 candidates and one is from lets say Czech Republic and the other one from 3rd world then it's fully on you for getting screwed over.

mathverse··on AI coding tools can reduce productivity
$25k was not an amazing salary for senior in 2016. Thats a ridiculous take. Most seniors in CEE are at least on 50k euros.
mathverse··on Why Is Fertility So Low in High Income Countries? (NBER)
Because elderly voting for social policies that basically make living in such country a nigthmare. It's one of the reasons why a lot of Eastern European countries are stuck and not evolving (economically and culturally speaking).
mathverse··on Ask HN: How did Soham Parekh get so many jobs?
US companies are afraid of litigations or European labour laws (irrelevant if you hire a contractor) but will not hesitate to hire questionable people from 3rd world countries for about the same pay like they would europeans.

That's bonkers.

mathverse··on Microsoft to Cut 9k Workers in Second Wave of Major Layoffs
Nope this is not the case.
mathverse··on Microsoft to Cut 9k Workers in Second Wave of Major Layoffs
It's also bizarre...all those american-indian or indian CEOs firing americans and replacing them with indians.

I mean lol..have u heard of american-czech CEO doing that to americans with czechs. Not really right...

mathverse··on Microsoft to Cut 9k Workers in Second Wave of Major Layoffs
It's not only about cheaper workers but an army of controllable drones.
mathverse··on The German automotive industry wants to develop open-source software together
So? Tesla can do it and they use the same thing like everybody else. Their UI feels apple like and yet they just use QT like everybody else.
mathverse··on The German automotive industry wants to develop open-source software together
Everybody just uses QT Auto and they create horrendous interfaces plus they use cheap electronics with not enough resources to power all of that eye candy.

The chinese can create good looking and useful UIs and they can even go deeper in the stack.

mathverse··on New Linux udisks flaw lets attackers get root on major Linux distros
Name the additions.
mathverse··on New Linux udisks flaw lets attackers get root on major Linux distros
Yes grsecurity offers actual hardening instead of touting snakeoil.
mathverse··on New Linux udisks flaw lets attackers get root on major Linux distros
There is https://grsecurity.net/ but it's not free. It's developed by people with much more experience defending against attackers than all of the other projects combined.
