I know this isn't really here or there but it's wild to me that the bomber crews woke up in their beds, flew across the world to conduct a risky mission, and then returned home to their beds.

Notably, I don't think of AI SRE as autonomous agents replacing people. Its a mistake to think of SRE as a role. It's really a mindset that you scale by building software.

We will still need SREs but I think the job will change. For one thing we will need to start building evals.

SRE = building software systems to manage infrastructure reliably at scale
AI SRE = building AI systems (in addition to software) to manage infrastructure reliably at scale

Intelligence is embodied. The intelligence of your AI App is the combination of your LLM and your tools. Better/smarter tools means your LLM can be dumber. This has gotten me thinking about when to invest in improving the tools versus the LLM. I find I have a legacy instinct to improve the tools.

I'd love to believe people on the right were as outraged by Trum's authoritarian actions. But I checked how fox news is portraying Kilmar Abrego and they are fully amplifying Trump's message that he's a violent member of MS13.

Senator Chris Van Hollen Heads to El Salvador to Check on Deported Immigrant Senator Chris Van Hollen said he would press for the release of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran immigrant who was mistakenly deported by the Trump administration and imprisoned.

Nice to see there are still some senators who think being a senator should count for something and are willing to do something in the face of an authoritarian president

This is brilliant and hilarious.

"And it’s amazing that others [who have been] in this room underwrote electing a man who, in the last week, single-handedly destroyed all of American science,” he said.

"It’s amazing how much good science you can destroy with $320 million and RFK Jr, very fast,”

The Trump administration has admitted they deported Kilmar Abrego. He was ordered by the Supreme court to bring him back. By all accounts if he just asked they'd send him back. Yet he refuses to do that. It is an exercise in raw, unchecked power.

Is there a possibility that people get so angry Republican House of representatives actually do their job and reign the president in out of self preservation
