Just launched a random thing on product hunt yesterday:

✨HelloCSV✨

Open source JS library that makes importing a CSV file a breeze.

It did alright.
Crash course on Kubernetes day 3: Namespaces. Pretty straight forward actually, just creates logical groupings of things

Been needing something like this for a while so I built it. Can’t believe this didn’t already exist that didn’t require a monthly subscription

Was perusing through SEC filings and came across this for TSLA.

Is this kind of language normal?

Day 2 for a crash course in Kubernetes.

Deployments. Basically the most important concept in K8s

Kubernetes crash course day 1: Containers ≈ Pods in K8s

(Let me know if this is too confusing)

Thinking of continuing a kubernetes crash course on warpcaster.

Been spending ton of time with k8 the past two years, and I think it’s severely underrated.

It’s crazy how much “stuff” there is to fill time in life. Booking flights, remembering to pay bills, getting back to someone, apply for / cancel something, appointments, chores, it’s like the world conspires against you to get anything meaningful done.
These robot ai voice calls are completely getting out of hand.

If your phone number ever gets leaked into zoominfo this is what happens…

Anyone else building the habit of spamming +30s after opening a podcast to skip the 4 minute ad wall at the start of every podcast
The weird thing with US politics post gerrymandering is that the only competitive race for house members is during primaries, and Pres. Trump has shown an amazing ability to primary members who don't vote with him.

Presumably all of this power goes away if his approvals drop among the Republican base, in which case, would expect a lot more Republican defectors.

Until then it seems the house probably won't be a useful counter balance, even though republicans only hold a tiny 2 seat majority. The senate is probably where that'll happen...
pro tip: create a `./tempdir` in your project root and add it to gitignore so you can put scratch files and random scripts, todos, helpful prompts, without having to check it in

we'll know we've reached AGI if theres a LLM that can successfully install an nvidia driver within kubernetes without trying to delete the operating system
A bear case on AI economics: Foreign governments deciding to subsidize local AI companies because of national security interests could have a significant distorting effect on markets.

This played out during the 80's with DRAM -- the Japanese government subsidized DRAM manufacturers (grant + cheap loans) to spur economic growth. This pushed American companies out of the market entirely.

It seems likely there will be Chinese companies that are willing to indefinitely sell LLM inference for significantly below the cost to operate, because the government will backstop their losses. No VC's can compete with sovereign governments.

It's worth noting however that in the end, the massive DRAM investments in Asian eventually lead to a global oversupply in the 90s, and a collapse in Japanese semiconductor companies. Partially caused the "lost decades" of economic stagnation.

1/ To play devils advocate on recent events, and try to make a good faith defense of the Trump administrations actions:

Since 2001, the US has been occupied by a non stop series of events that, at the time, seemed extremely urgent, but in retrospect, probably didn’t really matter.

2001 Counter terrorism in Afghanistan
2003 Preemptively invading Iraq
Counter insurgency for the next 10 years
2011 Arab spring = supporting fledgling democracies in the Middle East
2014 Russia annexes Crimea
2015 Syrian civil war
Iran nuclear deal, Palestine questions, etc, etc.

All the while, China has become a growing threat to the American way of life. https://youtu.be/vskdv9eH8kQ?si=vDo7g2k_Peamar4M&t=287
So... does the US president actually have the power to establish a strategic crypto reserve without congressional approval?
A couple other ripple effects that could shape the next decade with Americas new status in the world…

The nuclear deterrence of mutually assured destruction that’s been in place for half a century is no longer “assured” if the U.S. isn’t seen to be reliable. Seems likely that the second priority for EU, after upholding Ukraine, is a European arms race, so that at least the sum of European warheads and delivery capabilities matches Russian ones.

There’s a fringe pro unification group in Taiwan that advocates for reunification with China on friendly rather than hostile terms. It will be seen if that group raises in prominence after these spectacles.
