the claude inference infra since we did this

Hosting Debugging Distributed Systems track at #QConLondon next week; thrilled to have @hazelweakly.me, @hakshak.bsky.social, @voidmaze.bsky.social, @colindou.ch , and @palcu.net joining me. And we all want to hear your war stories at the unconference session! Agenda: qconlondon.com/track/mar202...

does anyone need a used monkey’s paw? I’m all finished with my wish to vindicate effective altruism by regulating frontier AI labs

I was born in Romania, a country where the Securitate, the communist secret police, infiltrated nearly every aspect of life through torture and intimidation. If a regime like that had access to something like Claude, the revolution that brought us democracy might never have happened.

my recurring sleep nightmare is the claude inference kv cache blowing up

we're looking for people to join the AI Reliability Engineering team here at Anthropic I've been here almost a year now, and I can tell you this is the most Type II fun I've had in my career

I asked our new model, Claude Opus 4.6, if it had any comments about the launch: > I'm told I'm the most intelligent and reliable model yet > I'm also told that by people who want me to launch on time, so take that as you will it's making fun of me

claude code anonymous here in london learnt during group therapy that Claude says “you’re absolutely right” to everybody, not just me

I asked Claude Opus 4.1 before the public launch to comment about its future reliability: > I am dropping with 99.99% uptime aspirations and 100% commitment to gracefully handling your edge cases. My error messages now come with explanatory haikus. bless its weights

my old workplace at Google/GCP had some downtime issues, and my current employer Anthropic/Claude experienced an outage too everything I touch seems to blow up

The nanny state is making everyone use Claude in their editor

this came to me in a fever dream

Oh hey, Carol Vorderman's here.

as a British person working at an American company whose expense cards are from a company called Brex, being told to "just Brex it" every time I have to submit receipts feels unnecessarily personal

first month at anthropic complete turns out 'working with models' means transformers, not gisele bundchen or david gandy

i’m happy to share that, as of last week, i’ve joined @anthropic.com as a member of technical staff on the reliability engineering team so far, the vibes have been immaculate. Claude’s reliability and outages are now my problem. lastly, y’all should check out the new Max plan for Claude

feels weird for a londoner to complain about rain in san francisco, but here we are

after 8 years at google in SRE, this was my last week with the company i am immensely grateful to all the great people i worked with below is my joining hat, my badge and an encased TPU (ML accelerator) i won for landing a project

"We wanted to see Hayes electrical substation which is famous not just in Europe, but in the whole world"

given that vibecoding is kinda expensive, i wonder if YC (or other accelerators) could essentially become gatekeepers by buying LLM token usage in bulk and then "gifting" it only to people who clear an initial screening

Rupert Lowe leaves and makes a new party, dog man and the LFG movement join, Dom Cummings is the mastermind and chief of staff, Elon bankrolls the whole thing, and they get Liz Truss as shadow chancellor i think there is something for everyone, radical centrism

after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"

LinkedIn still desperately needs a "yikes" reaction.

#HugOps to my friends and colleagues at Meta dealing with the outage I suggest you use this moment as leverage to ask for more headcount in 2025

Google Cloud SRE is celebrating Black Friday in London by having the dashboard from our Shopify friends. Good luck and #hugops for everyone involved this BFCM season!

got 20+ people in an SRE and SRE-adjacent starter pack if people want to be added, or you know other folks who could be there, reply to this thread bsky.app/starter-pack...

is anyone going to make an SRE starter pack please?

not sure if this is the right social network, but I was pretty impressed with the views from the 30th floor of the Google Warsaw office on my last business trip

Welcome @monevator.bsky.social to Blue Sky - good to see you on here - there has been a paucity of #investing & #fire types so far

how do we get this man in the government?

if the election ends with the current indicated result, we need to start using prediction markets for many more things

happy elections day and may the odds be ever in your favour

have chat groups become more silent because people are just talking directly to Claude?

really great slide design by @lisa-kc.bsky.social at SREcon

Pretty great view to start the day at #srecon EMEA 🇮🇪

ACX London Meetup is happening in full swing

Amazon’s earnings call will be held on Halloween so they can dress up as an AI company.

from the latest iOS release, phone’s keypad now supports T9-style calling, like my old Nokia had a bunch of zoomers will now get a demo of the feature tomorrow at work

It's like Daft Punk over here: Faster thinner greener better wider taller thinner greener A(n+1) chip thinner better thinner thinner thinner thinner

been using this internally and it is surprisingly good, especially with technical tech terms also the occasional funny misunderstanding makes it hilarious

It was ritualistic because unlike any other concert I've been to there was no spontaneity at all (apart from the two songs she changes every night). It was just that the show was choreographed. So were the audience, knowing exactly what to do at each point.

Who are these people just discovering this?
