Show HN: This AI Does Not Exist https://bit.ly/3OJb6Ho

Show HN: This AI Does Not Exist Hey HN! Author of the site here. I tried a few tricks to keep the text-generation part of the site up, but even leaning hard on Huggingface's API and bumping time-outs up, it looks like the site is struggling a bit. I'm going to see if there's anything I can do to keep the text-generation part available, but in the meantime, the pre-generated set should stay pretty stable. Not sure if there's much else I can do without burning a hole in my cloud bills — sorry for the troubles! I've put up a more detailed description of how this works on the GitHub - https://bit.ly/3EEGceA PS - if anyone at Huggingface is reading this and wants to help out with keeping the API up, that would be super :) https://bit.ly/36F6DnI April 23, 2022 at 08:04PM

Show HN: A better Reddit search engine to find Menswear recommendations https://bit.ly/3L9ZydS

Show HN: A better Reddit search engine to find Menswear recommendations Hey HN Community! We built this simple community search tool that basically allows people to search through thousands of past Reddit threads and tens of thousands of recommendations using tags. It mostly covers a few bigger subreddits like r/BIFL, r/MFA, r/AskMen, r/SkincareAddiction but along the way, I expanded it to include other smaller subreddits too. In addition to filtering by category, power users can also search by -Body Fit (big thigh, long torso) -Occupation (work in retail, teacher, doctor) -Age (18-24, 25-35), Size (height, weight) -Brand comparison (similar to: X) -Use (suitable for wedding, everyday wear) -Location (available in UK, use in Northeast US) -Mood/Style (minimalist, vintage, retro) Check it out. Buy fewer, buy better. Happy Earth Day! https://bit.ly/3k42ay3 April 23, 2022 at 10:42PM

Show HN: [Experimental] Fleet – A build tool for Rust that's upto 5x faster https://bit.ly/3EJEIjk

Show HN: [Experimental] Fleet – A build tool for Rust that's upto 5x faster Fleet is an experimental fast, lightweight, open-source, build tool for Rust. Builds with Fleet enabled are up-to 5x faster! For a production repository (infinyon/fluvio) which we tested, we were able to cut down our incremental build times from 29 seconds down to 9 seconds, boosted by Fleet. We saw even better results on dimensionhq/volt, with our build times cut down from 3 minutes to just 1 minute - a 3x speed improvement! How does fleet work? Fleet works by optimizing your builds using existing tooling available in the Rust ecosystem, including seamlessly integrating sccache, lld, zld, ramdisks (for those using WSL or HDD's) et al. You can get fleet at the official website. Check out fleet over at https://bit.ly/3K9aIOE and our website at https://bit.ly/3L9zjo7 Looking forward to your feedback and thoughts!

Show HN: A programmer's approach to finding gifts https://bit.ly/3v5XcHo

Show HN: A programmer's approach to finding gifts Hey Folks, I’ve been really annoyed with the search part of finding gifts. It’s hard to use keyword search for something when it’s an “I’ll know it when I see it” kind of deal. So I thought, what if we scraped/indexed TONS of products and then just focused on removing the things we don’t want and then see what’s left to see if there’s anything cool? I built it in Flutter so it's both iOS and Android but it could be web too. I’ve only just started the scraping/tagging of products and if anyone has suggestions for bulk tagging images/content I would love to hear them. That’s the current bottleneck. Any feedback would be welcome! cvanvlack AT gmail DOT com if you want to discuss 1-on-1. https://bit.ly/3v7xQJn April 22, 2022 at 11:35AM

Show HN: I built an app to help with Windows container networking https://bit.ly/3L8MYvo

Show HN: I built an app to help with Windows container networking I've been playing with cross platform windows/linux Kubernetes clusters recently and have had endless problems with installer scripts misconfiguring networking by using the wrong NIC etc. I got frustrated with the tooling on windows to debug container networking so I built a tool that attempts to stitch together the HNS (Host Network Service) & HCS (Host Compute Service) resources into a tree that shows the relationship between configs. You can also search over it to find the networking impacting your containers or launch the windows built in packet capture tool to create a network trace you can open in Wireshark for analysis. I'm not a desktop app developer so it's pretty rough around the edges and I've only really tested on Windows 11 and Server 2019. https://bit.ly/3v3oA8P April 22, 2022 at 07:38AM

Show HN: Dassana. JSON-native,schema-less logging solution built atop ClickHouse https://bit.ly/3L8fhdm

Show HN: Dassana. JSON-native,schema-less logging solution built atop ClickHouse Hello HN, I’m Gaurav. Founder & CEO of Dassana. We are coming out of stealth today and would like to invite the community to give us a try. https://bit.ly/3k020rv First, a bit of a backstory. I grew up with grep to search log files. The kind of person whose grep was aliased to grep -i . Then came along Splunk. It was a game-changer. For every single start-up I started (there are a few) I used Splunk and quite often we will run out of our ingestion quota. SumoLogic wasn’t cheaper either so we looked into DataDog. It was good until we started running issues with aggregate queries (facets etc), rehydration takes forever and the overall query experience is not fun (it wasn’t fun with Splunk and SumoLogic either). All these experiences over the last two decades led me to wish for a simple solution where I can just throw a bunch of JSON/CSV data and query it with simple SQL. These days most logs are structured to begin with and the complexity of parsing logs to extract fields etc has moved to log shippers such as fluentd, logstash etc. Enter HackerNews and ClickHouse. I first learned about ClickHouse from HackerNews and was completely floored by its performance. Given its performance and storage savings due to columnar storage, it was an obvious choice to build a logging solution on top of it. As we started doing POC with it, it was obvious that it is a perfect solution for us if we could solve the problem of schema management. Over the last six months or so, that’s what we have working on. We designed a storage scheme that flattens the JSON objects and exposes an SQL interface that takes a SQL and converts it to our schemaless table query. Being JSON native, we allow querying specific JSON objects in arrays. This is something that is not possible with many logging vendors and if you use something like Athena good luck figuring out the query- it is possible but quite complicated. Here is sample query - select count(distinct eventName) from aws_cloudtrail where awsRegion=us-east-1 Also, there are no indices, fields, facets etc in Dassana. You just send JSON/CSV logs and you query them with 0 latency. And yes, we do support distributed joins among different data sources (we call them apps). And like any other distributed system, it has limitations but it generally works great for almost all log-related use cases. One amazing side effect of what we built is that we can offer a unique pricing model that is a perfect match for logging data. Generally speaking, log queries tend to be specific. There is always some sort of a predicate- a user name, hostname, an IP address. But these queries run over large volumes of data. As such, these queries run insanely fast on our system and we are able to charge separately for queries and reduce the cost of ingestion dramatically. In general, we expect our solution to be about 10x cheaper (and 10x faster) than other logging systems. When not to use Dassana? Not suitable for unstructured data. We don’t offer full-text-search (FTS) yet. We are more like a database for logs than a lucence index for text files. With more and more people starting to use structured logs, this problem with either go away on its own but as I said, we do plan to offer FTS in the future. Note that you can already use log shippers such as fluent, vector,logstash etc to give structure to logs. What’s next? 1. Grafana plugin. Here is a sneak preview- https://bit.ly/3L3LNxb 2. Alerting/Slack notifications. You will be able to save queries and get Slack notifications when results match. 3. JDBC driver. 4. TBD. You tell us what to build. Email me and I will personally follow up with you: gk 8 dassana dot input/output I will be online all day today happy to answer any question. Feel free to reach out by email too.
