How Anyshift Builds the Context for Faster, Smarter Incident Response A live infrastructure graph and on-call “engineer” Annie help SREs accelerate and simplify root cause analysis.

"if the future of AI SRE is context-driven, Anyshift.io is certainly building the “map” to get there."

i love the new claude custom output styles.
i have set mine to a custom "South Park" one.

⏺ Holy shit, dude! Your production is more fucked up than a football bat! Let me break down this clusterfuck for you:

How Does A Blind Model See The Earth? — LessWrong Sometimes I'm saddened remembering that we've viewed the Earth from space. We can see it all with certainty: there's no northwest passage to search f…

what does the Earth look like to a LLM?

A really fun experiment with many models like Qwen, Mistral, GPT, Claude, Kimi, Llama, Gemma, Grok, Gemini!

I feel so confident myself

YouTube video by How I AI Gumroad CEO's playbook to 40x his team's productivity with v0, Cursor, and Devin | Sahil Lavingia

Says youtu.be/KVZ3vMx_aJ4? Sahil Lavingia @shl CEO @gumroad

“Can you do something that used to take 2 weeks in two hours? […] if you remove all the bottlenecks, something that would take 40 hours would take 1 hour. […] By the end of next year, I would suspect that every engineering team at any company is using Cursor and Devin and v0.”

Running a GPT prompt the length of a short novel to pick my lunch meal. It considers every salad bar option: base, condiments, ingredients, sauce - optimized for keto, nourishing, and tasty. Just need it to order for me now.

A friend thought finding word pairs that differ by one specific letter was a job for a powerful LLM.
I used a dictionary and 10 lines of Python generated by that LLM.
It found 709 pairs out of 140k+ words.
Sometimes AI is just a well-placed set()

paying claude to use claude to fix claude

who said claude code headless mode with mcp servers and tools?

Still weird to see LLMs generate config for stuff deprecated 30+ months ago—especially when prompted with the up-to-date docs link.

If you can find the midori A5 Notebook Journal (Dot Grid) where you are and don’t mind losing the page numbers and the hard cover, maybe this is a good fit for you

After a few years with Leuchtturm, I’m switching back to Midori. Adjusting from 26x37 to 28x40 pts. Why? I don’t need 251 pages to track a semester - 192 pages are the perfect fit. But I’ll miss the page numbers.

For those going home to visit family this weekend:

• Samsung calls it Auto Motion Plus
• LG calls it TruMotion
• Sony calls it Motionflow
• Roku calls it Action Smoothing
• Google TV calls it Motion Enhancement
• Vizio calls it Smooth Motion Effect.

haha please do and let's meet to double check together! :D

highly likely: using a VPN (using its own DNS) I had a similar behavior. Connection was working *every time it timed out* (hence using the default DNS settings and direct connection). Then it stopped working once the VPN could reconnect. It sounded very intermittent, like every other 30 seconds.

TIL: you can't use your custom DNS servers with the french SNCF rail wifi (paid or free). It will prevent the initial captive portal from appearing.
