Crossing the AI Chasm: Lessons From the Early Days of Cloud By @randybias.bsky.social

I can’t believe this guy is our president. I mean really can’t believe it. Can’t believe the words that come out of his mouth. Can’t believe anyone takes him seriously. Can’t believe he’s in charge. It’s nuts. Like an acid dream. A really bad trip.

Current Status:

OKC has 44 pts half way through the 3rd quarter? That’s nuts.

We should just label present times as the Age of Narcissism.

“The ‘Fuck You, Pay Me’ Presidency.” Nice one @RollingStone

“Free my soul”? For sure. Cancel all social media apps. Sigh.

Well. Here’s hoping the Timberwolves beat the Grizz…

Hello Paris.

British News….

In London. Watching Rugby. Having ChatGPT explain Rugby rules to me. This is an instance where AI is boss.

600 KVA in a single rack is totally insane. #nvidia

Vilifying villains. 🫶

Watching the Warriors play is so enjoyable again. Happiness.

Serious question. Has there ever been a better example of intelligent drum and bass than Photek?

One of the most underappreciated movies ever. Dog Soldiers. www.imdb.com/title/tt0280...

HAHAHAHA! Plastic Straws.

In a world where every cloud application's components are distributed, Mirantis offers k0rdent to help you manage your cloud native programs. By @sjvn.bsky.social feat. @randybias.bsky.social

China will step up. The EU will remain MIA. India will likely start to take some steps.

If you don’t know, you should know. Terminals have evolved. Make sure to check out: warp.dev (closed source) And waveterm.dev (open source)

Luka Lakers. Crazy.

I think this is our future unless someone stops him. Musk’s plan for X has been for it to replace the entire banking system. His keen interest in seizing control of Treasury payments (and its tech) may forebode an intention to have such payments go through X www.theverge.com/2023/10/26/2...

Brain hurts.

LOL. I said I was going to need a lot of 🍿for this term. I don’t think there is enough popcorn on the planet. Or that I could consume it fast enough. #day2

I regret installing Balatro on my phone.

Streamlined observability enables faster troubleshooting and better resource allocation.

Merry Xmas and Happy Holidays from the Philippines! 🇵🇭

I helped make the early Internet go. Sometimes I regret it. I wish the trend line was positive. It’s not. Is this our devolution?

"Build that shit for money", and "Don't give it away for free" Fantastic talk by @adamhjk.me, which perhaps could also be subtitled "Life Beyond Open Source: An Apostate's Opinion". If you want to sell software in the modern world, you couldn't spend a better 30 minutes.

Wrote up some notes on Microsoft's new Phi-4 LLM. They trained it on a LOT of synthetic data, and the details of how and why they did that are really interesting. simonwillison.net/2024/Dec/15/...

Democrats are morons. They believe that their “superior” value system will win. And it won’t. Neoliberalism is dead. Neo conservatism is dead. What now?

Entertaining myself by watching YouTube videos on philosophers and economists such as Adam Smith, Karl Marx, Hegel and others.

The last time I saw a hype cycle this big was the Internet itself. AI will detonate into a massive dust cloud. Smart people know this and are preparing for it. There are two other types: - foolish people who buy the hype - hypesters who are pumping so they can make money and get out Who are you?

Defend Gelsinger. Go!

Harvard historian Fredrik Logevall: Boot disavows any intention of writing a “hagiography or hit job”; his aim, he says, is to demythologize his subject. In this he succeeds. Reagan is the best, most balanced biography to date of the man and his era. www.the-tls.co.uk/lives/biogra...

Andy Grove’s celebrated quote applies to individuals as well as to companies. Complacency and hubris often precede decline and fall.

An overly negative take but lots of great individual points.

Why those singing Gelsinger’s praises are wrong. The writing has been on the wall for a very long time now. The fix was obvious. Intel failed spectacularly. Cisco will be next. And yes Andy Grove was right. daringfireball.net/2024/12/andy...

Is there anyone here who thinks that the left has misstepped? My sentiments are more progressive than libertarian but I am just so disappointed in progressives. The mistakes are obvious. I won’t even call them out.

Does anyone else find to fascinating that the USA is marching right into becoming an oligarchy, mostly driven by technocrats, and there is no opposition? Forget how to fix it. I’m just fascinated that it is so obvious and even discussed at times yet it just continues. As if it’s inevitable.

Anyone remember The Spot? It was The Spot and the Internet Underground Music Archive (IUMA) that first pushed InterNex into adding co-lo to our ISP offerings in 1994-1995. Good times. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Spot

“LG AI Appliances” … <sigh>

A key asymmetry of this era of American politics and how it’s covered is that Trump is expected to do bad and corrupt things, so when he does it barely qualifies as news. But Dems are expected to be beyond reproach, so anything that seems even slightly suspect is a huge scandal.

If you're hunting for gifts for the whiskey lover in your life, I threw together a quick list 📝 * Ice design tray— amzn.to/4g0fr6k * Fancy cherries — amzn.to/4eXzmRJ * Discrete on the go flask — amzn.to/3ZgYq0n * Long term flask, Stanley — amzn.to/3CXg01U * Crystal Glencairn — amzn.to/3B9zcch .....

No idea why this took so long. Shareholders should question the Intel board itself at this point. What a bunch of maroons. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Check my new Substack in which I explore the Python API for Bluesky using my own followers data! I find that my followers base are predominantly male profs/phds but being added to a *women* starter pack might have slightly helped:) open.substack.com/pub/laurenle...
