Show HN: gpudeploy.com – "Airbnb" for GPUs (Score: 155+ in 9 hours)

Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/67g7d
Hi HN,
YC w24 company here. We just pivoted from drone delivery to build gpudeploy.com, a website that routes on-demand traffic for GPU instances to idle compute resources.
The experience is similar to lambda labs, which we’ve really enjoyed for training our robotics models, but their GPUs are never available for on-demand. We are also trying to make it more no-nonsense (no hidden fees, no H100 behind “contact sales”, etc.).
The tech to make this work is actually kind of nifty, we may do an in-depth HN post on that soon.
Right now, we have H100s, a few RTX 4090s and a GTX 1080 Ti online. Feel free to try it out!
Also, if you’ve got compute sitting around (a GPU cluster, a crypto mining operation or just a GPU) or if you’re an AI company with idle compute (hopefully not in a Stability AI way) and want to see some ROI, it’s very simple and flexible to hook it up to our site and you’ll maybe get a few researchers using your compute.
Nice rest of the week!

Ask HN: How to handle user file uploads? (❄️ Score: 150+ in 3 days)
Link: https://readhacker.news/c/673DU
hey, i work as an SRE for a company where we allow users to upload media files (e.g. profile picture, attach docs or videos to tasks..the usual). We currently just take a S3 pre-signed URL and let the user upload stuff. Occasionally, limits are set on the <input/> element for file types.
I don't feel this is safe enough. I also feel we could do better by optimizing images on the BE, or creating thumbnails for videos. But then there is the question of cost on AWS side.
Anybody have experience with any of this? I imagine having a big team and dedicated services for media processing could work, but what about small teams?
All thoughts/discussions are welcome.

Show HN: I built a free in-browser Llama 3 chatbot powered by WebGPU (Score: 151+ in 9 hours)
Link: https://readhacker.news/s/67dDT
Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/67dDT
I spent the last few days building out a nicer ChatGPT-like interface to use Mistral 7B and Llama 3 fully within a browser (no deps and installs).
I’ve used the WebLLM project by MLC AI for a while to interact with LLMs in the browser when handling sensitive data but I found their UI quite lacking for serious use so I built a much better interface around WebLLM.
I’ve been using it as a therapist and coach. And it’s wonderful knowing that my personal information never leaves my local computer.
Should work on Desktop with Chrome or Edge. Other browsers are adding WebGPU support as well - see the Github for details on how you can get it to work on other browsers.
Note: after you send the first message, the model will be downloaded to your browser cache. That can take a while depending on the model and your internet connection. But on subsequent page loads, the model should be loaded from the IndexedDB cache so it should be much faster.
The project is open source (Apache 2.0) on Github. If you like it, I’d love contributions, particularly around making the first load faster.

As commented before[1], I've been working on the past months to get the Dillo
back to life and today I'm happy to release the 3.1.0 version, after almost 9
years since the last one.

During this time:
- A new mailing list was created[2] which is beginning to get
some messages and patches. It is available in gmane via NNTP at
gmane.comp.web.dillo.devel.

- A LiberaPay page[3] which received the first donations (thanks!).

- Some more bugs where fixed and new features where added (details in the
release page and/or changelog).
Thanks to all the people that contributed with patches and tests. Now let's see
if we can make it land in some distros!

Show HN: Bloom – A shadcn like UI library for Elixir and Phoenix (Score: 150+ in 17 hours)
Link: https://readhacker.news/s/67e3q
Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/67e3q
I've been writing Elixir for 5 years and made plenty of sites with Phoenix and LiveView but my biggest gripe has always been with the lack of quality UI components available.
The JS ecosystem has so many, and it's the one thing I miss from being primarily a React & Node developer.
So this is my attempt at bringing some pretty and useful components most applications need to Phoenix projects to try and fill in the gaps between what makes LiveView such a productive joy to work with.
The library is very very raw and requires some initial clean up so PRs are very welcome to tidy up the DX as well as the general quality of the repo & components.
Hope you like it.
