I want to become a platform engineer, but I don't have experience on my resume. If you have a medium sized workload you want to deploy on my AWS account, I can do it for free for you because I want to gain some troubleshooting experience that I can mention in interviews.

I thought this was something the Hacker News audience would appreciate; it's an aggregator of computer and security news. We initially built it for ourselves (we have a monthly newsletter, for 12+ years), but realised that others might like it as well. Although we collect a wide range of news, we currently promote to the front page what's on-topic for our audience, which is (currently) Web PKI, TLS, post-quantum cryptography, some cryptography, some security, and some privacy. We generally don't do vulnerabilities at all (although those will inevitably be picked for in the "all news" section)…
Hi everyone, I am a professor in AI, and I often build AI apps as a hobby and for academic projects. I felt that I was wasting too much time setting up backends, DB, and secrets for each app, and testing the prompts, updating them, and redeploying seemed tedious. So I built Backprompter to do all this without any setup. You can create agents, track different versions, test them, create mock users, simulate conversations, and track your evaluations. It supports usual agent setups - model selection, prompts, RAG, and tools (currently, HTTP API calls). Agents can also be combined by simply taggi…

Hi folks, Alex here from ThunderPhone. Today we're launching v2. Voice AI has been a hot topic for the past year or two, both for automating phone calls and for adding voice features to apps. Most of the voice agents deployed have been using a "3 step pipeline": a transcription model to turn user speech into text, an LLM to generate a response in text, and a TTS model to turn the response text into audio. But the performance of these 3-step voice agents has often been so-so, largely for 3 reasons: 1) Voice agents have to be fast, usually requiring non-thinking LLMs to handle the conversation.…

I've spent most of my career leading GTM teams, and there's one blind spot that I've watched repeat at every company usage sit in one tool, deals sit in a second, support sit in a third and none of them tell the whole truth about customers. So we built Rimplo to close that gap set of revenue agents that runs across CRM, billing, support and product data and watch for three important moments customers about to churn, deals ready to expand and deals going quite in the pipeline. Also we have very powerful ai assistant that replies on anything from the GTM data sources connected powered with the…
