   The best cloud platform out there

   You could say a lot of things about AWS, but among the cloud platforms (and I've used quite a few) AWS takes the cake. It is logically structured, you can get through its documentation relatively easily, you have a great variety of tools and services to choose from [from AWS itself and from third-party developers in their marketplace]. There is a learning curve, there is quite a lot of it, but it is still way easier than some other platforms. I've used and abused AWS and EC2 specifically and for me it is the best.

   Pros:    Great documentation|Website structure visualization|You have control over everything|Flexibility

   Cons:    Learning curve|A lot of dashboards for different things

• Postgres rewritten in Rust, now passing 100% of the Postgres regression tests

  > but it's still a singleton instance, so where do you run it? Most hardware doesn't give you enough uptime for what you need here, because what you actually needed was a re-architecture for distribution / failover / whatever, and while you could ask your LLM to do that you aren't going to run your bank on the result. If only we had a way to solve these issues with tools capable of running Rust programs in that... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• My Experience Moving from AWS to Sevalla

  Not because infrastructure isn't important. It is. Not because Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a bad platform. It isn't. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• How to Use Pre-Signed S3 URLs for Direct Browser-to-Storage Uploads

  The AWS S3 documentation covers all of these in detail. The configuration takes about an hour to get right the first time and rarely needs changes after. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Why Your File Upload Endpoint Times Out at 4GB

  The first pattern is direct-to-storage. The client uploads chunks directly to an object storage service like Amazon S3 using pre-signed URLs. The application server creates the upload session and grants permission but never sees the file bytes. This pattern scales well because the application servers do not handle the upload bandwidth. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Turned Charlie Munger writings into a language model you can query

  I used the website it's hosted on, Pickaxe. And gathered a lot of books/documents. Source: over 2 years ago

• China releases strict regulations on the development of AI

  I'm reminded of the recent revelations about how the vast majority of Binance's customers were located in the US and China, jurisdictions in which Binance was banned. It seems impossible to stop tech like this. Much better to focus on education and on preparing for changes that are coming. I recently founded Pickaxe and we're trying to find ways to make this tech more accessible to people who wouldn't otherwise... Source: over 3 years ago

• EX Ark Analyst Looking for Feedback on New Venture

  I used to work at ARK (me) and now I'm working on a startup of my own. I started Pickaxe to help all kinds of organizations integrate LLM tech like chatGPT more seamlessly into their processes. I was wondering what this community thinks about how LLM tech will change the working world, and whether or not ARK's strategy is aligned with that future. It used to be that their estimates were considered wildly... Source: over 3 years ago

• Finally took the plunge: just simply asked ChatGPT to produce a major work product.

  At Pickaxe we see this happening all the time. If you want to let your coworkers or employees use ChatGPT, but what to have control and oversight over their usage, Pickaxe is a great option! Source: over 3 years ago

• Finally took the plunge: just simply asked ChatGPT to produce a major work product.

  I recently founded Pickaxe which does the same but includes some added functionality like document interrogation and the like. Source: over 3 years ago
