<p>Use tag-based node authentication. Login as a user and then switch the device to use a tag. I just recently did that and retained the usual 6 months expiry. I can also disable key expiry completely.</p>

<p>Skill issue. Not to mention the ongoing effort required to maintain and secure the service. But even before that, a lot of people are behing CGNAT. Tailscale makes punching a hole through that very easy. Otherwise you have to run your own relay server somewhere in the cloud.</p>

<p>>Yet if I spent one hour making my app one second faster for my million users, I can save 277 user hour per year. But since user hours are an externality, such optimization never gets done.<p>I have never been convinced by this argument. The aggregate number sounds fantastic but I don't believe that any meaningful work can be done by each user saving 1 second. That 1 second (and more) can simply be taken by me trying to stretch my body out.<p>OTOH, if the argument is to make software smaller, I can get behind that since it will simply lead to more efficient usage of existing resources and thus reduce the environmental impact.<p>But we live in a capitalist world and there needs to be external pressure for change to occur. The current RAM shortage, if it lasts, might be one of them. Otherwise, we're only day dreaming for a utopia.</p>

<p>I am not a system programmer but, from my understanding, Torvalds has expressed strong opinions about microkernels over a long period of time. The concept looks cleaner on paper but the complexity simply outweighs all the potential benefits. The debate, from what I have followed, expressed similar themes as monolithic vs microservices in the wider software development arena.</p>

<p>Sure. Till an extent. And if you run some mission-critical application, definitely.<p>But most applications run fine from local storage and can tolerate some downtime. They might even benefit from the improved performance. You can also fix the durability and disaster recovery concerns by setting up on RAID/ZFS and maintaining proper backups.</p>

<p>As someone who has struggled with this before, your fastest way is to look for pre-built templates on github or buy one's you like.<p>Looks like GP is using the pocket template from tailwindui - <a href="https://pocket.tailwindui.com/" rel="nofollow">https://pocket.tailwindui.com/</a><p>There are hundreds of people selling pre-built components, landing pages, templates etc. This at least gets you up and running and not stressing over design. As a dev who lacks design sense, this was immensely helpful.<p>Other option as sibling points out is to use bolt or lovable and give it explicit instructions on what kind of design to use. For example, with lovable, try this prompt "use neo brutalist design."</p>

<p>If you don't have a lot of services to access, you can hard code the tailscale IP address in /etc/hosts.<p>My personal /etc/hosts is at 10 services all hard coded since the internal IP address of a machine on tailscale is static. Way cheaper and easier to deal with than setting up a separate DNS resolver.<p>Of course that won't work if you have hundreds or thousands of services to work with.</p>

<p>If I may ask which model are you using? I have tried OCR'ing my bank statements in AI studio and the results have been less than optimal. Specifically it has a tendency to ignore certain instructions combined with screwing up the order.<p>Some pointers on what worked for you would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>>don't ask them if they want it or not<p>After reading the book my understanding was to not even ask this question. See if they have already tried to solve the problem by looking for another app or going to excruciating lengths to solve it another way. If yes, then they will probably buy your product.</p>

<p>I am a JavaScript developer looking to expand my skills into AI and machine learning (ML). However, my research online has left me feeling confused due to the overwhelming number of courses, books, and resources available. I’m uncertain about where to begin and what to prioritize. In my professional network, I’ve received mixed advice. Some recommend starting with Andrew Ng's course on Coursera, while others suggest skipping it entirely.<p>To clarify my inquiry, I’d like to break it down into two parts:<p><pre><code>    1. Applied ML: What should I focus on when it comes to integrating machine learning into products?
    2. Theoretical ML: What should I prioritize regarding the theoretical or research aspects of machine learning?
</code></pre>
So far, I have shortlisted two O'Reilly books[1][2] for the applied part.<p>For the theoretical part, I’m considering the fast.ai course[3]<p>Is this a good starting point, or is there a better approach I could take?<p>[1] Hands on LLM -  https://learning.oreilly.com/library/view/hands-on-large-language/9781098150952/<p>[2] Applied machine learning and ai for engineers - https://learning.oreilly.com/library/view/applied-machine-learning/9781492098041/<p>[3] https://course.fast.ai/</p>

<p>Jaypee Group's failure is not the same as ghost cities of China. Ghost cities of China were fully built but people refused to move in. India has the opposite problem. Most people want to move in to the projects but the builder defaulted and could not complete the project.<p>India's half built cities are more of a financial fraud problem rather than people problem.<p>Not the same as China.</p>

<p>so in a quick glance, this does not look like nginx/caddy. It is not a binary you download, install and just configure to talk to your upstream servers. Rather a set of packages which you assemble to fulfill a particular use case. You basically end up writing a "new" reverse proxy just for your use case.<p>Not sure how useful this would be for anyone except very large businesses or someone like cloudflare itself.</p>
