Daily short news for you
Rust is the time of its coming... It's "redefining" a whole bunch of things. Even the coreutils package containing basic Linux commands has been rewritten by it, and it runs on multiple platforms too 🫣
Attention everyone 🔥, Gemini 2.0 is the latest and most powerful model from Google, currently available for free trial, and the API is also free (But it seems they are imposing more restrictions as there are many users).
I just discovered a very simple way to public localhost on the Internet using VSCode. First, open the Panel using the shortcut Command + J (or Ctrl + J), click on the PORTS tab, click on the "Forward a Port" button, then enter the port you want to public and hit Enter, and that's it. VSCode will create a URL mapped to the port on your local machine 🤓
That's terrifying, grep.app is a website that allows you to search for anything in the public repositories of Github. Just type in a few characters and it will instantly find where that snippet is located. I wonder how much data one has to store to be sufficient 🤔!
Good news for those who missed the 5-day online course with Google GenAI last time. Now you can learn by reading and practicing the content. Join us now 🥳
Everyone check out if the free ChatGPT account has been given access to DALL·E yet. Today I logged in and saw this icon and was able to use OpenAI's image creation tool. However, I only tried creating 3 images and now I have to wait until tomorrow. It seems there's a limit of 3 images per day 😅
I mentioned bolt.new in a Threads the other day. To put it simply, it's an AI tool that lets you give orders to create interfaces and make direct editing requests. Turns out, it's open-source: stackblitz/bolt.new.
However, the original version only works with Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 3.5. Another wizard forked and modified it to work with "any llms": coleam00/bolt.new-any-llm.
The nemesis of obfuscator!
As you know, an obfuscator is a technique that scrambles code to make it difficult for humans to read. This is suitable when one has to publicize the code but does not want anyone to read it. It is often used in front-end libraries or by cyber attackers who love to use it. Because of obfuscator, users find it hard to know exactly what that piece of code is doing.
A person cannot compete with a computer. Now, just try copying a piece of code that has been obfuscated into ChatGPT and ask it to rewrite it for easier reading. Clearly evident 🫣
countless.dev is quite an interesting website as it compares the costs of using LLM models from different providers.
Here, you can see all the popular large language models from providers such as OpenAI, Azure, Mistral... The pricing for each 1M tokens in input/output. Or you can even compare them with each other to find the cheapest provider or model depending on your usage purpose.
1-2 years ago, Kubernetes (k8s) was suddenly mentioned as a phenomenon, probably because it was so powerful that everyone wanted to learn and use it. It is a tool for "Automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications" - Yes! Sounds impressive, right? 🤤
Back then, I was passionate about Docker, especially Docker Swarm, which is similar to k8s but on a smaller scale. Docker Swarm seems much less complex than k8s. And that was good because it was already meeting my usage needs at that time, while also reducing complexity and hassle.
However, in the last 1-2 months, articles titled "Do you really need Kubernetes?" have been popping up more frequently. Indeed, k8s is very powerful but also overly complex. Why bother using a knife "to butcher an ox to kill a chicken"? Unless you anticipate the complexity when wanting to apply a technology. Another thing is that k8s consumes resources and power tremendously; getting it up and running is not just about setting it up, but you also need a lot of knowledge 😨.
Oh, perhaps part of it is because the "big players" are focusing on Serverless, reducing the complexity in operations and instead focusing on application development.
Besides that, the name WASM is also being mentioned a lot 🤔
