I have spoken to many professionals and looked at some companies usage. I can definitely tell we are in a bubble.

I noticed when a non-tech person tries to solve a problem with AI, they only tend to think in-terms on LLM. For e.g. even for a calculator app they use LLM for compute instead of direct calculation.

Sure they have managed to solve it. But they are remotely usable.

I have seen multiple failed projects taking these vibe coded ideas to production.

I wouldn't be disheartened and give up.

I built a browser-based digital human that listens to a user and responds with generated, lip-synced video. I worked on this project 2 years back, I would like share the learnings with the community.

I’d appreciate feedback from anyone who has worked on real-time avatars, streaming TTS, or interruption handling.

"Apple's rep said that pricing isn't based on a single feature. It's worth noting that the watches haven't become cheaper to make, as they still have the same components as before."

Hey all, I would like to know your thoughts on our internal discussion.We are trying to establish a error handling framework.My peer came up with this simple POC. The idea is that this function will reduce amount of try catch used in the business logic.---function errorHandler(func, ...params) { try { return func(params) } catch (e) { console.log('error on function ${func}`) ...

Ask HN: Is secondary DNS setup worth it?

Posted by gkrishna on Wednesday June 22, 2022 @12:55AM
from the ask-hn dept.

After recent Cloudflare outage, more people are suggesting to go with a secondary DNS. I'm afraid that it would be difficult to maintain configuration across multiple DNS providers. I'd love to know your experience in maintaining multiple DNS providers.

This shouldn't be a big problem as you can use configuration management such Ansible to get around. In case of bastion loss you can simply create a new instance and run the script to recover your instances.

When I try to create a new instance on AWS, I get a warning:`Rules with source of 0.0.0.0/0 allow all IP addresses to access your instance. We recommend setting security group rules to allow access from known IP addresses only.`What are alternative security measures that I can apply to protect my servers?
