I feel like this is more of a marketing campaign for Anthropic than anything.

I noticed that AlphaSheets is no longer in operation - couldn't find the website. What happened?

I do expect AWS to capitalize on this and persuade GCP customers to switch. I have no idea why GCP thinks that their customers are sticky enough to stay with them through the price increase.

I created something that lets you get free GPU on VS Code with Google Colab with just 1-click. Have a look at https://github.com/DerekChia/colab-vscode

This is my default go-to as a poor man ML setup, with environment and dependencies set up automatically via bash script on start up.

Thanks, I agree that AWS Sagemaker would make sense and I'm already in the process of mastering it.

I define it as an opportunity cost to learning another technology or language that is in demand in the market. In other words, my perspective is from a career building (increasing total compensation, i.e. $) point of view.

Yes, I suspect there would be a rise in multi-cloud setup and K8s skills might be valuable here.

I have the opportunity to setup a K8s cluster (simple one) on-prem and get it to work. It was an interesting experience.

But I'm also cognizant that as more applications are built on top of cloud native services (AWS/Azure/GCP), how relevant then would K8s be?

Ask HN: Is it still worth learning Kubernetes in 2022?

rainboiboi — Sat, 01 Jan 2022 06:52:46 +0000

I'm building up a list of technology to learn in 2022 and I'm wondering if going deep dive into K8s is worth the time.

Background: I'm a ML Engineer building up skillsets in MLOPs. I have experience with AWS and have a couple of AWS certs under my belt. For now, I'm reviewing how deep I should go with K8s, e.g. getting CKA certified etc.

Thoughts, please?

New comment by rainboiboi in "50 Things I Learned from the Amazon Management System"

rainboiboi — Sat, 11 Dec 2021 05:18:04 +0000

hi HN - I wrote this as a summary from what I have learned reading the book. As I have no prior encounter to Amazon's culture, this is quite an eye-opening. However, this coincides with the AWS incident [0] and I'm cross examining the principles with their response and the comments. Hope to write a following post to dissect it.

Just curious - are there anyone using this at scale? Multipass has existed for quite some time and I frequently go back to the website to check for new features but always see the same thing.
