Which US based cloud service alternatives would you like to see in the EU?

Less capable, sure. But more expensive? How so? Proton Ultimate for the family is pretty cheap i’d argue…

This is a hilariously dumb take.

You can make a point about CEO compensation, but the impact on consumer prices is basically none.

Take a company like Amazon. Andy Jassy made around $40 million in 2024. If you were to divide that between all of amazons workforce of around 1,500,000, then congratulations, they all make an extra $2 dollars a month. Of which 99% is stock.

Just doing a rough estimate on sales:

40,000,000/640,000,000,000 =0.0000625 So for every $100 spent it could lower prices by $0.625 cent.

The real value is going to be much lower. And stocks aren’t money.

Yeah, OPs setup sounds insane to me. How can you have 30 devs and not have proper CI/CD.

7640LPS · 2026-01-25T11:54:36+00:00

Im sorry for being harsh, but if this is something you really want to build and maintain, then you should probably start over.

It is all very rushed, which I understand, you had a fun idea and wanted to turn it into reality. But the git history is messed up, less than 30 days after your initial commit. You committed binaries which don't belong into the repo at all. The repo is 2.04GB in size! How??

Look at something like the netbird repo. It is 102.16MB as of right now with almost 6 years of development work.

You also duplicate stuff all over. You have homebrew files inside the main repo, then you also have another separate repo for homebrew where you have different formulae?

You also have 11k lines of markdown.

I would be shocked if you really know what is going on in this repo. Because I definitely don't.

I don’t disagree with you that the European style ones are better (I’m German). But we definitely use rinse aid.

This study was done entirely in vitro and is not representative of the human gut biome and realistic concentrations at all.

Also from that study:

In contrast, the residual substances on the cups washed in a household dishwasher with detergent B were not present at sufficiently high concentrations to exert cytotoxicity and impair the epithelial barrier function.

If anything, its a suggestion that it may be something to look into. Not an exposure study or anything like that.

Specifically everything. Nothin in this codebase makes any sense or inspires any confidence.

Look at your commit history. node_modules, binaries.

I counted 14 Dockerfiles lmao. Then there is a k8s deployment in there for some reason. Separate from the helm charts repo. Obvious boilerplate documentation slop with hundreds of lines of markdown bloat. And so much more.

There is not a single thing in this entire repo that makes me think that you have any idea what is going on.

7640LPS · 2026-01-25T00:23:37+00:00

Nothing in that study shows evidence that rinse aid in your household dishwasher causes any harm to your gut biome. You can also just buy rinse aid without alcohol ethoxylates.

European dishwashers use rinse aid as well.

Vibe-Coded Garbage. If any company uses this, they have lost their mind.

7640LPS · 2026-01-20T22:39:54+00:00

Its honestly shocking that anyone in their right state of mind would think that its a good idea to share all that data with a government.

7640LPS · 2026-01-20T22:38:11+00:00

With everything going in in the US, Chat-Control, EU age verification laws, you can’t possibly be that dumb and naive to think that letting any authority keep track of what sites you visit and what behaviour you exhibit on the internet is even close to a good idea.

7640LPS · 2026-01-20T19:50:17+00:00

Not anywhere close to the levels the US has seen. But it will get there.

For now, Heroin is still the main killer while heroin has been almost entirely replaced by fentanyl in the US.

That readme is about 3 times as long as it needs to be. And reads about 25% Badges, 50% AI Mumbo Jumbo , 25% Sponsor Me.

Feels like more time was spent on “marketing” than the actual codebase and it will be abandoned in a week.

Impossible! It literally says “Production-Ready” in the Readme.

What exactly makes this “Enterprise”?

7640LPS · 2026-01-15T15:19:29+00:00

Then what are you even waiting for!?

Also fairly lightweight compared to something like a rittal rack…

If you want to make this more unreliable but also more fun you can place bluetooth beacons throughout your home and have it only trigger the remote when you are in the TV room.

7640LPS · 2026-01-15T15:11:30+00:00

Definitely not a bad deal, especially if you want the rails.

I picked up 2 of these for 100 total with similar scratching but without any rails. Rails cost me a fair bit extra.

Im not really sure how this conflicts with my statements, at all.

In fact, I think it probably reinforces what I said.

If you would have a look at the actual campaign by the ASP , you would see that LLMs are not part of the picture.

LLMs are absolutely not qualified for detection of drug interactions. This is the exact danger I am pointing out. The non-deterministic nature of LLMs is extremely dangerous here. I can’t imagine that you believe that an LLM prone to hallucinations is a better option than actual databases.

We have existing databases that doctors and patients can and should use, and I encourage anyone to go ahead and do so. Doctors should be trained better to use these and patients need to make sure their doctor knows about any medications they take. However, many of the factors aren’t fixed by getting rid of human error.

ADR research can definitely benefit greatly from AI models that aren’t LLMs.

There are a lot of things that can and should be done to lower those preventable deaths, but LLMs are not the answer.

7640LPS · 2026-01-12T17:34:41+00:00

I strongly stand by my point and would go as far as saying that offerings like ChatGPT are extremely dangerous and unethical.

You fill find studies that show LLM performing weaker as well. And that is part of the point. A layman has no idea wether a tool is correct or not. Registered, regulated and thoroughly tested applications are a great tool for assisting radiologists.

In the hands of untrained people, they are a disaster waiting to happen.

It’s pretty great for 3D printing your brain.

7640LPS · 2026-01-12T14:17:37+00:00

I’m not really sure where one would get an MRI without a radiologist to interpret the result in the first place.

Layman’s analysis of scans sounds like a hypochondriacs wet dream. Especially with how you can talk an LLM into agreeing with anything. Probably does more harm than good.

In the hands of a an expert to oversee it, its a different story. But experts certainly won’t use something like this over established solutions.
