Deploying a Rails 7 + React app to AWS via Dokku

Deploying a Rails 7 + React app to AWS via Dokku.
The author talks about how Dokku came to the rescue when attempting to deploy to AWS in 2024 was nothing short of a nightmare with Elastic Beanstalk.
The article aims to set up an app, built with React and Ruby on Rails, deploy it to AWS and highlight considerations with Dokku and infrastructure.
The author explains that to connect rails and react, they leverage the fact that npm run build compiles everything into a singular index.html placed in Rails' public/ directory.
It also explains that package.json within the rails folder was created to
Dokku operates on buildpacks, which are sets of instructions to build your app using activation conditions.
The infrastructure for the project is simple: end users send a request to a load balancer, which routes the request to an EC2 instance within an auto-scaling group.
A launch template is used for creating instances in the auto scaling group, with the necessary buildpacks and configurations for setting up the app.
The article explains how to create the VPC, RDS Postgres database, security groups, IAM role to access secrets, and a launch template for EC2 instances to be part of an auto-scaling group.
Enabling HTTPS, EC2 launch script and dokku settings, and future recommendations like using terraform or setting up a CI/CD pipeline for the project are also discussed.

Microsoft Word may delete your files — here’s how to avoid it

Microsoft Word has a new bug that may delete files, and recovery is not always possible.
The bug occurs when saving a file with a # symbol in the file name or using capitalized file extensions.
To prevent file deletion, manually save the file, avoid using # in the file name, use lower-case file extensions, and enable a specific setting in Word.
Microsoft is aware of the issue, but there is no timeline for a fix yet.

TensorWave thinks it can break Nvidia’s grip on AI compute with an AMD-powered cloud

Chipmaker TensorWave is using AMD’s Instinct MI300X GPU to challenge Nvidia’s monopoly on artificial intelligence compute hardware.
TensorWave, founded in late 2022, is a cloud service that only deploys instances of AMD’s MI300X and requires a minimum of a six-month contract with a range of hourly prices depending on the workload and the GPU configurations chosen.
Co-founder Darrick Horton said the team wanted to democratise the AI industry, which had an unhealthy monopoly, by offering an alternative choice.
Horton noted the MI300X is considerably cheaper than Nvidia’s H100 GPU – widely used by the industry – and believes it will appeal to developers seeking alternatives that can handle AI workloads effectively.
With the cloud space as a whole enjoying huge growth, TensorWave is already generating $3 million in annual recurring revenue and is projecting $25 million by year-end.
TensorWave’s pricing strategy means it is competing in a market that includes GPU infrastructure providers such as CoreWeave and Lambda Labs.
The company’s burn rate is believed to be “well within sustainable levels” and it has recently received $43m in funding led by Nexus VC, with participation from AMD Ventures, Maverick Capital, StartupNV and Translink Capital.
TensorWave is planning to bring online the MI325X GPUs once they are released in late 2024, and also plans to turn the GPUs into collateral for a large amount of debt financing.
Horton noted there will be challenges ahead in taking on Nvidia. Its development software is more mature and easier to use than AMD’s, while the world’s largest companies continue to invest in their own custom hardware.
TensorWave was founded by three entrepreneurs who had limited knowledge of the hyperscaler landscape but believed they could solve the GPU supply problem driving their formation.

M4 MacBook Pro seemingly revealed again in ‘unprecedented’ benchmark and video leaks

Two separate leaks have seemingly revealed details of Apple’s forthcoming M4 MacBook Pro laptop.
Last week, photos emerged on X (formerly Twitter) of what was claimed to be the unreleased M4 MacBook Pro.
Russian YouTuber Wylsacom did a full hands-on unboxing of what they claimed was the same line of MacBook Pro.
The MacBook Pro in a recent video also shares a lot of similarities with the laptops featured in previous leaks.
Benchmarks for Apple’s Metal graphics API show that the chip’s GPU is roughly on par with the M4 found in the latest iPad Pro.
If these products are fake, they’ve clearly been produced to a pretty high standard and are quite convincing to the naked eye.
Apple has not commented on the alleged leaks, which arise in advance of the tech giant’s upcoming October launch event.
If the leaks do prove to be genuine, the release will undoubtedly be the most significant product leak in Apple’s history.
The big question is whether these leaks depict genuine Apple laptops, or cleverly disguised fakes.
Ultimately, we’ll find out if they’re genuine or not when Apple announces the M4 MacBook Pro at an October launch event.

How to speed up your graphics card

Proper care of the graphic card is essential for the best gaming experience. Updating the drivers is the first step. If you are unsure about the GPU model installed on your PC, then open Device Manager, click Display Adapters and check the expanded list.
Updating Windows ensures that you have all the resources to run your GPU smoothly and efficiently. The latest Windows updates ensure that you have the necessary resources to run your graphics card problem-free.
You can squeeze more performance out of your GPU by raising the power limit of your GPU. MSI Afterburner is a great tool that can find your GPU’s highest stable overclock and is a great way to start overclocking your GPU.
As you increase the power limit in MSI Afterburner, you'll see the temperature slowly increase alongside it, which is a limiting factor in your GPU reaching its full performance. To help keep the temperature low, you can use a custom fan curve that increases fan speed as the GPU temperature rises.
Adjusting the power settings on desktops and laptops plugged into a wall outlet might boost GPU performance. Open the Control Panel, click on System and Security. Next, click on Power Options and select the High-Performance mode.
Resetting the drivers for your GPU will ensure they are running without any issues. Cleaning your PC regularly and improving the airflow can efficiently enhance the performance of your GPU.
It's essential to recognize that a PC comprises multiple components influencing its overall performance. The CPU, memory, and storage collectively impact the system's speed, with a robust processor contributing significantly to frame rate improvements, particularly at lower resolutions.
If you're experiencing lag on a PC, it might be time to consider upgrading the memory. Noting that it doesn't necessarily mandate the most expensive option, upgrading Memory is a crucial consideration.
The relationship between CPU and GPU varies across different games, with certain titles stressing either component more. Use Windows Task Manager to evaluate system utilization and gain insights into GPU, memory, disk, network, and CPU usage.
To ensure the best gaming experience, several other ways can improve the performance of your GPU.
