   Best cloud solution out there

   We moved our services to Render and can't be happier!

• Bitcoin Block 840000

  The only way I can foresee a cryptocoin actually holding value is if spending the coin meant spending processing cycles and RAM doing things like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_volunteer_computing_projects But in more general sense, less like https://boinc.berkeley.edu/ and more like AWS... It's the only way to have value, actually holding computing power in a distributed network. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Folding@Home: We empower anyone to become a citizen scientist

  Or alternatively: Boinc[1], which has a bunch of different projects. [1] https://boinc.berkeley.edu/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Distributed Inference and Fine-Tuning of Large Language Models over the Internet

  Made me think of Gridcoin and BOINC https://boinc.berkeley.edu/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Have you ever donated your computing power with BOINC? Take 5 minutes to fill out the 2023 BOINC Census!

  The BOINC Census is back for another year! BOINC is an open source software and network for volunteer computing. People can use it do donate their CPU/GPU power to various scientific research areas like cancer, drug discovery, mapping the galaxy, and more. Source: 7 months ago

• Ask HN: What should I do with my leftover bandwidth?

  A few years back, I was in a similar situation and found BOINC(https://boinc.berkeley.edu/) to be a great way to contribute. It's a platform that lets you support various scientific research projects by sharing your computational power and bandwidth. However, it's worth noting that BOINC might tends to be more CPU/GPU intensive rather than bandwidth-heavy. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Show HN: Pathway – Build Mission Critical ETL and RAG in Python (NATO, F1 Used)

  The main factor impacting the RAM requirement of the instance is the size of the data that you feed into it, especially if you need an in-memory index. (If you are curious about peak memory use etc., you can profile Pathway memory use in Grafana: https://github.com/pathwaycom/pathway/tree/main/examples/projects/monitoring who have a (somewhat modest) free tier for Docker instances, or reasonably priced ones like... - Source: Hacker News / 6 days ago

• Heroku Postgres is now based on AWS Aurora

  Same - I've been slowly migrating to Render (https://render.com) as my new favourite. - Source: Hacker News / 18 days ago

• Good alternatives to Heroku

  Render - I think render is more like a cloud agnostic builder/runner platform, this means that your application needs to be hosted somewhere else. - Source: dev.to / 24 days ago

• Build and deploy a Next.js ecommerce website in 5 steps

  Next, we'll deploy our ecommerce website to Vercel (which is a great choice to host your Next.js website). Other hosting options include Netlify and Render. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• How to ditch Neon

  1) Render.com currently offers postgres databases for $7 a month. The $7 instance is pretty weak as far as RAM and CPU, and their prices also get pretty unreasonable after that. However, this is a quick setup and cheaper alternative to Neon. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago
