thought leader take: what if kubernetes could feel fear

they’re not “replacing workers with AI” they are doing a much older thing that is making the people who are left do all the work

somebody who is good at task management please help me budget this. my computer is dying.

John Carpenter's The Thing, Yeah That One Over There, Behind The Other Thing

Trying to fit a backpack into another backpack; I believe this is what they call CONTAINERIZATION

We need more of beautiful tender things like this

when u tax the rich

They suspended @cara.city for this!!! Dogshit website run by absolute babies. It is a Serious Violation to point out that the head of trust and safety’s pants fell down and everyone saw his little red ass and laughed

Elon Musk accidentally revealing his mom's account is one of his alt's means that he has both impersonated his own infant child and mother online

Again, the best time to leave Substack was yesterday. The second-best time to leave Substack is now. Friends don't let friends hang out with Nazis and TERFs

When I first started looking into this I did NOT think it would be this wild of a ride. I just wanted to know who decided to put up an AI generated mural. www.coyotemedia.org/how-did-an-a...

Once again putting out feelers: if you have a Google propeller hat I would like to buy it so that I can continue with operation “General Grievous”

I have been waiting eagerly for www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7Ae... to be posted so that I can send people @chrisjrn.fyi’s extremely good talk from @northbaypython.org this weekend. If you make software in a thoughtful way, this is a talk for you. Otherwise – watch it anyway, maybe you’ll be convinced?

wotc workers now have the Banding keyword ability

Did you know that you can use a lambda as a decorator? Now I do, and I must inflict this knowledge on others.

I hope you’re all very proud of yourselves! I mean this entirely unironically. Excitedly awaiting the recordings so that I can share the fantastic talks with friends

Cursed realization: JupyterHub has the same number of letters in the middle as Kubernetes. #NBPy

Headed to @northbaypython.org, and excited to make it back for the first time in ages.

Saw this meme and I did it. Opening line to Neuromancer.

Hi Kashyap: “And I think one of the things that has been most gratifying, after– immediately after the story published was, I have been inundated by additional sourcing going up to the highest levels of the government, thanking us for doing the work, providing additional corroborating information.”

It's very funny how accurate this is

Extremely excited for @northbaypython.org this weekend!

(Kccchhhh) this is callsign grandpa. come in grandma, grandma come in over. report to the kitchen your tea is ready (Kkkkcchhh) (Kkkchhhh) grandma here i read you grandpa over. copy that im Oscar mike. inbound via the garage door over (kkchhhh)

So much to process

⚒️🧪 Got an @earthscope.org email saying that the #ArtemisII re-entry shockwave may be audible in coastal southern California between 17:00 and 17:15 PDT or so today! If you're in this area, fill out a USGS felt report with details of what you do (or don't) hear! earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

This damn post has absolutely ruined my brain every time I hear someone mention "for the time being." Major kudos to the poster, if I ever meet you in person I will congratulate you and then punch you in the face.

Get, and I cannot stress this strongly enough, rekt

Sounds like a new day breaking in a saga of the war between immortal sea-creatures

Sometimes having a dog feels like being a megafan of some band that no one else is really familiar with

I keep seeing people in comments threads marveling at how good Claude Code is at doing code which will "take developers jobs" and I think the average person really doesn't have a fucking clue how good a human being who knows how a computer works is for comparison.

True story: I thought that the Very Involved Political Plotting stories would be what got my partner interested in Star Trek, and then we watched Move Along Home and he was like “wait hang on, I like this”

🐤 Baby chicks know their kikis from the boubas! New research shows that newly-hatched chicks perform almost exactly the same as humans on the bouba-kiki test (It’s almost like if wugs took the bouba-kiki test 😀)

My employer asks me to complete a survey on AI usage for which this is the first question (required):

Imagine you're paying like $100 a month or whatever for Claude and realizing the government used the same shit to kill schoolchildren in Iran. And they're using your tax money to pay for it. So you're paying Claude twice to kill kids. Crazy.

It’s kinda nuts to me how many of the problems I see software engineers applying LLMs to could also be solved by learning how to use a regular expression.

Just re-read High Wizardry by @diane.dianeduane.com in the modernized format for the first time and (1) still love that book, (2) it’s a different emotional journey as an adult, and (3) I didn’t realize it would feel so weird for Dairine Callahan to be my younger brother’s age

What is this “super bowl”, is it some kind of Dreamforce?

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Catherine O’Hara has died at the age of 71, TMZ reports. (www.tmz.com/2026/01/30/c...)

It's not even an issue of framing. It definitionally the Entscheidungsproblem as stated by Hilbert. I feel I'm going somewhat insane as I watch people around me litigate whether a model that encodes first-order predicate logic can evere produce consistent results. Oh wait that's Gödel.

The saying that keeps popping to mind with regards to LLMs is “one person can know nothing, but two people can know even less”. Till now, I was mostly applying it to trying to rubber-duck debug with an improv yes-man robot, but apparently it also applies when they work in teams?

I wrote about my time in Minneapolis last week, about what is involved in creating bottom-up, decentralized networks of care. margaretkilljoy.substack.com/p/our-neighb...
