Whether we like it or not, online spaces are/will be shared by both humans and AI agents.

The person picking songs for the ends of each Alien Earth episode must have access to my music library favs. Banging tunes, every one.

The relentless ingenuity of the people working on Voyager is just so great to read about:

“ It’s just that one of our engineers had this insight that maybe there was this other possible cause, and it was fixable.”

Andor is by far the best Star Wars show/movie since the original trilogy created the franchise. Brilliantly done!

Really impressed with how Robert Pattison (Mickey 17) and Zac Efron (The Iron Claw) have evolved into solid actors. Career paths in the arts are weird.

Returned from re:Invent in one piece, only to get hit by a sledgehammer flue within two days. Flying these days is no fun.

AWS re:Invent 2024 | December 2–6, 2024 AWS re:Invent is a learning conference hosted by AWS for the global cloud-computing community. The in-person event cost $2,099.

Almost packed up (comfy shoes - check, lip balm - check, brain - check) and ready to go to Re:Invent’24, just a pesky 10.5 hour ✈️ to get done tomorrow.

Looking forward to lots of meetings with our amazing and awesome customers, unfortunately no U2 gig to end it this year 😕

AWS Lambda turns 10: A rare look at the doc that started it On AWS Lambda's 10th anniversary, I'm publishing the internal PR/FAQ that helped launch this groundbreaking service. This document provides insight into the customer problems we observed in the early ...

AWS Lambda launched 10 years ago this week, time flies in AWS! Loved seeing the PRFAQ again though, it still reads well.
