   MiniPCs.zip – Charting the Pareto frontier of Mini PCs▲115

   The overall idea is to chart out the thousands of Mini PCs by benchmark and reveal the Pareto Front so you can get the most Compute per Dollar.

It uses Gemini to extract specs from listings (since they're not often strongly categorized). Quick blog post here: https://luke.zip/posts/pareto-pcs/

    Hi everyone, My name's Kaveh: I'm the founder of www.usage.ai EC2 Pricing: https://ec2pricing.usage.ai/ I thought the previous generation of EC2 Pricing Pages were getting quite slow and a bit buggy.

    Hi HN, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MN7RNVo9nc4 (The text below is based upon the linked video above) I'm Co-Founder & CEO of Vantage: a cloud cost observability platform.
