Show HN: The Time Machine of Your Infrastructure

https://www.anyshift.io/

Hello Hacker News! We're Roxane, Julien, Pierre, Mawen and Stephane from Anyshift.io.Anyshift is a GitHub app (and platform) that automatically detects Terraform complex dependencies (hardcoded values, intricated-modules, shadow IT & clickops resources….), flags potential breakages, and provides a Terraform ‘Superplan’ for your changes. To do that we create and maintain a digital twin of...

agreed. it’s practically a prerequisite for everything else in the book. Staying calm and thinking clearly is foundational

Have you ever tried Source-graph ? To handle such consistency issues. (we are trying to do the same at Anyshift for Terraform code) For me the issue is only be exacerbated by gen AI and the era of "big code" thats ahead
Re:The AI Boredom on Wednesday January 08, 2025 @10:01AM (#42634926)
Agreed. AI is a great enabler but is becoming a commodity. Now it's more a feature that you leverage based on other integration to have real value on it. I se it as a great feature outside of creatively related tasks.

How we handle Terraform downstream dependencies without additional frameworks

Hi, founder of Anyshift here. We've build a solution for handling issues with Terraform downstream dependencies without additional frameworks (mono or multirepos), and wanted to explain how we've done it.1.First of all, the key problems we wanted to tackle:Handling hardcoded valuesHandling remote state dependenciesHandling intricate modules (public + private)we knew that it was possible to do...

Collaborative platform to train your models?

Hi, with my team we are training an OS LLM and want to train it/test it together (control of the experiments, evaluation, comments etc...)For now we use weight & biases but personally I'm not a huge fan of their UX.Do you have any other tools that you recommend ?Thanks!

Cannot reproduce the exact same training results – diffusion models

Hi ! In order to collaborate with my team we want to be able to get the same training results based on a finetuned version of https://huggingface.co/runwayml/stable-diffusion-v1-5.We have real issues defining the exact same environment, even if we have the same code/ use the same args with weight & biaises. We try to do our best with some versioning of the image datasets but it seems that...

Re:Backup If OpenAI Fails on Monday December 11, 2023 @12:14PM (#38602402)
argh so you had to retest the entire prompting / results ? did you do it exhaustively?

Backup If OpenAI Fails

Hi ! We are implementing a bot using chatgpt for my company but we have some concerns about downtime failures. Do you have some backup solutions that could be implemented in prod in case of failures ? Knowing that the model is kind of finetuned because we are doing information retriavial using embeddings (created with gpt 3.5)

first python, but do you have one in mind that's particularly painful?

Open-source testing made reallyyy easy

Hey ! I am currently developing a solution to help developers test open-source projects in a really easy manner.I want to remove the hustle to clone repositories and install dependencies just for trying a project specific function.The idea would be to host open source projects and allow developers to test any function in 2 sec in a similar way as with an IDE "debug" mode.I am searching for beta...

Open Source Contribution: Seeking Feedback on OS Project Unification Tool

Hello HackerNews community!Lately, I've been contemplating a challenge that I, and probably many others in this community, often face when exploring the realm of open source (OS) projects - the lack of a common format to navigate, test, and tweak these projects without having to delve deep into their complexities every single time.The diversity and uniqueness of each OS project are indeed its...
