When a disgruntled employee pees all over a server rack and your crisis comms team is absolutely phenomenal at their jobs because @fxshaw.com didn’t come here to screw around:

Computers are now bad at math because the future is stupid.

Apple’s local foundation model isn’t the best on iOS.

Who’s the tenth?

Appeasing fascists somehow never works out the way corporate interests think it will.

Someone on the AWS billing team is stupid like a fox.

Amazon is a leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for AI code assistants, but Cursor is not. How plausible!

Today I learned that the Baader Meinhof phenomenon was named for a far left German terror group half a century ago. I always thought it was the scientists who discovered the thing. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequen...

Cool, so is that gonna be cash or card?

Meanwhile Apple’s recruiting AI folks from the local clown colleges, apparently.

Okay, show me your most unhinged domain / side project / thing that will tickle my sarcasm bone.

I am personally attacking 40 different AWS services at a minimum here.

I will never understand why Google *could not race fast enough* to completely torpedo their own generational credibility.

In forty minutes it's once again the Corey Quinn Comedy Variety Show, in the context of "Duckbill Office Hours." Come say hello, ask us anything about AWS billing / contract negotiation / what's wrong with me. www.duckbillgroup.com/officehours

My hobby: speed running how long it takes someone to go from “hey, let’s see who has the weirdest domain registered” to “Jesus Christ stop you win stop stop stop!”

Listen to @bscanlan.bsky.social talking to @quinnypig.com about how Intercom moved from AWS Aurora to @planetscale.com t.co/ZlRtVVr7Rs

Tis a tale of we hear today Adventures o’er in M&A Two companies together smushed Did he jump or was he pushed

Pour one out for an absolute fuckton of Lambdas Functions, only a decade after we really wanted this.

We can learn that people love to ignore opportunity costs

Not as disappointed as those companies are gonna be when they try to use Amazon’s Trainium chips.

A heist movie about a gang of art thieves but they’re just the curation team at the British Museum.

Remind me, how long have we been at war with Eastasia?

Filling out captchas is annoying; can someone create a Firefox extension that uses GenAI to do it for me? Thanks!

If you book a meeting with me my first day back from vacation, then you’re (like a good dogcatcher) gonna catch some strays.

Amazon remains nowhere close, as you apparently can’t Frugal your way out of an AI cul-de-sac.

My Linux laptop is named "Grandma" because every time it goes to sleep there's a terrific chance it's never gonna wake up again.

They’re about as good at naming things as AWS.

Almost like AI’s primary value proposition is personal rather than enterprise.

Creating an account that steals all of @thelouvreof.bsky.social’s content and calling it “The British Museum of BlueSky.”

If you’re a NAT Gateway pricing manager who can’t stand working at AWS anymore, the SFO United ground crew is also apparently hiring clowns. Half hour delays due to their jetbridge shenanigans or “gate still occupied” are commonplace.

“He was responsible for Siri” is one of the most devastating personal attacks imaginable.

Genuinely this part of woke pushed +5 to Trump

“He was responsible for Siri” is one of the most devastating personal attacks imaginable.

I can report after two months of hell that a bunch of things break subtly when you have an emoji in your Mac’s host name. This lesson is brought to you by my Mac Studio, “us-💩post-1”.

Can we get “Office The Good Version” in the US, too?

I must be podcasting wrong, because I don’t think I’m in any way qualified to be the head of the FBI. #ImposterSyndrome

Credit where due, this is an amazing feature that makes a strong case for “technology betters humanity.”

"uh, Louise, we really just wanted like... spilled coffee all over himself. Ya know"

If you depended upon a particular Google product for your workflows, you have once again been bamboozled.

Seriously considering hiring some Etsy witches to help make sense of my AWS bill.

Ed nails it. The markets are reacting like massive defaults / restatements in a year or three are some future idiot’s problem to deal with.

You know it’s a serious AI company because its logo looks like a butthole.

Five year projections for a startup are exercises in wishcasting.

Cool, so what is Apple doing with the voice data that contravenes EU law?

Did they just say Google had a tiny peener?

So, “slow, expensive, and shitty?”

Too bad it’ll be used to show ads.
