Surprising no one.

A female experimenter, appearing pregnant, boarded the train. In the experimental condition, an additional experimenter dressed as Batman entered from another door. Passengers were significantly more likely to offer their seat when Batman was present (67.21% vs. 37.66%).

I wish the alternative to technology made by evil corporations was not technology made by deranged libertarians.

Shill harder, dickheads.

Get your establishment wrong-un name by adding HRH Prince before your name, removing it, and double hyphening what remains with cake and an English town.

Absolutely not.

Dude wandering through the airport with his headphones in, and the audiobook he’s listening to blaring out of the speaker from the phone in his pocket.

The Andrew formerly known as Prince.

Adverts should be representative of traditional British families.

The hypocrisy of Reform going on TV to allege that certain groups are constantly over represented on TV is truly epic.

Great time last night - thanks to all for coming! Big thank you to @sheenbrisals.bsky.social and Andrew Langhorn for two great talks! #AWS #AWSCommunity #EventDriven #EventBridge #EC2 #Nitro #AWSCloud #DevOps

Monday’s ads for its stupid purple AI slop machine can entirely fuck off.

Wake up babe, AWS incident write-up just dropped. aws.amazon.com/message/1019...

The hotel I stayed at when visiting Miami last year just sent a push message to my phone offering me 6 months of Perplexity. Why is a hotel brand shilling for AI companies? MAKE THE MADNESS STOP.

I had something for this about Spike Milligan, Harry Secombe et al, but I rather suspect “goonscrolling” has an entirely different meaning in the year of our lord 2025.

We should be asking this c o n s t a n t l y.

Imagine having less game than a fucking AI *and* thinking this would work as a tactic. Give me strength. “Chatfished” is an excellent word for it though.

New video is OUT! - How We're Building Audacity 4 youtu.be/QYM3TWf_G38?...

If you’ve been using an abandoned version of aws-vault, why not take a look at this fork? It has a couple of new features, and is now the default in Homebrew. Drop a star on the GitHub project if you’re using it.

Why are people such fucking idiots about football?

ME ON A TRAIN: Oh no, I accidentally clicked a video with sound! Oh god, people heard a second of loud sound from my phone. I have torn the social contract. EVERYBODY ELSE ON TRAIN: Shit yeah, train time, time to watch the loudest TikToks

Honestly quite surprised at the extent to which this makes me want to strange a horse - which I have so far failed to do.

Since 2019, we’ve learned a lot about building thriving organisations. What’s clear: clarity of intent and purpose drives speed, agility, and resilience. Tomorrow, the second edition of Team Topologies launches. Keep your eyes peeled 👀 https://www.teamtopologies.com/book

I always try and get my daily 2,000 fucking swears in.

Thanks, I hate it.

Did Shopify get appreciably better more quickly, or cheaper since 2021?

Worth a watch: Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

Vancouver, I am in you.

MFA is now a hard requirement for #AWS root access 🔒 Happy to see AWS is taking #Security by design approach for high level access 👍

Also: avoid pregnancy during alcohol

Of all the AI coding assistants, the one you’d expect to best be able to handle modifying code from using Bedrock’s InvokeModel API to the Converse API is Amazon Q Developer. Guess what? Nope!

I… what?

It’s the @awsuguk.bsky.social meetup! Solid turnout 👌🏻

See you there?

It’s worse than that. A lot of what’s available online as training data is far from best practices. See scalefactory.com/blog/2021/03...
