direct connection can be problematic if you dont limit the scaling or don't use rds proxy yes.

The 3 lambda instances aren't going to break your db

Re:AWS Lambda Web Functions on Wednesday October 14, 2026 @05:15AM (#50084655)
It's just more effort then I want to or need to.

Just a lambda, a switch in the handler that calls my routes and that's it. I could make it smarter but I don't really need to

Re:AWS Lambda Web Functions on Tuesday October 13, 2026 @03:00PM (#50076847)
I've built 2 applications using Lambdas as a backend and I love how simple and it is. It cost literally 0$ (the lambda part).

The frontend is hosted on cloudfront, the backend is a lambda and you basically just pay for the database and certificate.

I don't want to manage a server or even a docker image. I just want my code to exist there so I like the idea

Re:Taste Is All That's Left on Friday August 07, 2026 @05:34AM (#49207944)
Copying means you have a valid target.

I'd argue that a well thought UX isn't easy to copy in the first place because it's not something that can easily be put into word.

It's the same for a lot of things, I have some clothes that I love because of their, design, quality and more ... something intangible that I have hard time describing and that can easily be explained with: It was done with taste.

If you can migrate using a strangle pattern, I can see it working pretty well and fast.
Re:The World's 2,400 Castles on Wednesday July 22, 2026 @11:25AM (#49008327)
Same in France, where I grew up almost all small village have a castle that is multiple century old.
The legal ground is: If you're rich enough you can do it.

Now only big tech companies can train models

They should deploy on sundays !
Code might be cheaper but it's still a liability. In that regard anything that's not been properly designed and documented is going to be an even bigger issue.
Apparently 200B isn't enough for proper support. Nice to know

My vision for a new internet is a space where we can guarantee something is coming from an human and is genuine. The second point is that we get paid for feeding our AI overlords

There's new evidences that even Sapiens "introduction" in Europe happend multiple times in the scale of thousand years with migratory waves comming from Africa/Middle East.

There's a 12h Collège de France course from Jean-Jacques Hublin that display new understandings that is really captivating. It's in French though

Re:Meta Horizon Worlds on Meta Quest is being discontinued on Wednesday March 18, 2026 @11:55AM (#47427361)
The product is a platform Meta control free of Windows, Google or Apple.

That's what meta(verse) was suppose to build.

Sub agent also helps a lot in that regard. Have an agent do the planning, have an implementation agent do the code and have another one do the review. Clear responsabilities helps a lot.

There also blue team / red team that works.

The idea is always the same: help LLM to reason properly with less and more clear instructions.

It's funnily enough quite the opposite front ends that have a focus on UX are pretty well protected from generative AI

Thanks for the input I was planning to do something like that with a CLI though
Re:Compressed Agents.md > Agent Skills on Friday January 30, 2026 @04:33AM (#46822336)
That's the thing that bothers me here. They loaded the doc of course it will work but as your project grows you won't be able to put all your documentation in there (at least with current context handling).

Skills are still very much relevant on big and diverse projects.

Re:Show HN: Turn raw HTML into production-ready images for free on Wednesday December 24, 2025 @04:11PM (#46379264)
At work we are using this feature. A lot of time we need to do some kind of pdf reporting. We built them as html pages and print them as pdf.

Works fine.

Re:Ask HN: Why hasn't x86 caught up with Apple M series? on Tuesday August 26, 2025 @11:45AM (#45028148)
I've got an AMD Ryzen 9 365 processor on my new laptop and I really like it. Huge autonomy and good performance when needed, it's comparable to the M3 version (not the Max).
LLMs fall short on most edge cases

Re:How we made JSON.stringify more than twice as fast on Tuesday August 05, 2025 @04:20AM (#44795574)
March 2022 is not that long ago for a codebase. It takes time but Javascript has come a long way and it's definitely going in the right direction.
Re:Ask HN: Why is Gmail so incompetent at basic search? on Tuesday July 22, 2025 @04:50AM (#44644654)
I've found Gmail search to be suprisingly good. It can parse pdf attachments from years ago and match it with the search.

It's miles ahead of Outlook from my point of view.

It's honestly easy to use and implements. It's a try it and adopt it product, it's even one of their sales tactics.
