This is why, folks, you push to production on Monday.

AWS Status Page, Dynamo down

AWS Dynamo down.

Affects Dockerhub (worldwide CI downtime), Slack (no comms in Enterprises), Signal, Medium and many more.

Fun fact am Morgen: Biokäse ist nicht vegetarisch (per Definition!). Der Grund: Das Lab, das zur Herstellung verwendet wird. Es wird nicht, wie in der konventionellen Variante, mit Kulturen mirkobiell hergestellt, sondern aus Kalbsmägen gewonnen. Konventionelle Produkte nutzen oft (aber nicht […]

Ich bin überzeugt, die meisten Leute wissen nicht was "Verhandlungsbasis" bedeutet. "Wie tief können sie mit dem Preis gehen" ist es jedenfalls nicht. "Können sie am Preis noch was machen" auch nicht. Angebote macht keiner mehr.
Dann eben Originalpreis.

Was die deutsche intelligenzia noch nicht so ganz verstanden zu haben scheint ist, dass es sehr wohl für sog. "Fachkräfteeinwanderung" wichtig ist, wie man Flüchtlinge behandelt. Wenn du Menschen nur anhand ihrer Ausbildung wahrnimmst (und nicht als Mensch an sich), dann ist das ein dauerhaft […]

Kein Joke Intro bei LNP @linuzifer hallo was??

Freetube dev stages are wild rn.
App was broken for a long time. New update fixed it for Linux, introduced new bug in Windows. New hotfix patched it in windows, rendered it broken in Linux while working in Windows now.

ich möchte Sie eigentlich nicht belästigen, aber...[...]"

Emails, keine gute Idee so generell.

I don't wanna be in c-suite. I aspire to live a life of sufficient mediocrity. C-suite is the deep end for psychopaths.

Although I hate Excel, this is pretty funny. (I know it's old, I'm slow ok?) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFdCM2kHL64

for a website that presents itself as an archive of the Epstein docs with added analysis (people mentioned in documents, places, etc.)... it doesn't even start with the text of the documents properly OCR'd, instead it is fed to chatGPT with a system prompt that tells it that it is an expert at OCR system prompt: You are an expert OCR and document analysis system. Extract ALL text from the image in READING ORDER to create a digital twin of the document. IMPORTANT: Transcribe text exactly as it appears on the page, from top to bottom, left to right, including: - All printed text - All handwritten text (inline where it appears) - Stamps and annotations (inline where they appear) - Signatures (note location) Preserve the natural reading flow. Mix printed and handwritten text together in the order they appear.

Wow this sucks so bad.

a person posted on /r/datahoarder that they have created an archive of the Epstein files with added metadata like mentioned people and etc. But everything is LLM-generated.... Including the "full text" of the documents.

Rather than […]

Got a really good phishing email recently. So good, in fact, that I suspect something in the service they pretended to be seems to have gone awry. Notified them, let's see where this goes.

Almost wrecked my home network by copying the wrong thing and setting it as the router login password. Fortunately, It could have only been a certain few things I copied and a few tries later, I could log in again...scary.

Are suicide rates among typo3 users higher than average? Would make sense.

It's in the name.

British politics has evolved into a show of people flailing their arms in despair, flinging feces in random directions, hoping some of it will stick somewhere. Nobody has a plan, none have a vision apart from "everything needs to get better". Meanwhile the fight for power at the top is crushing […]

Just set up an Android Tablet without a Google Account. Annoying, but manageable.

McD spicy challenge dips review:
"Flame": Für mich nicht scharf. Geschmack ok, nix besonderes.
"Fire": Gutes allgemeines spice Level für mich. Smoky Habanero ist nice, mein Favorit unter den dreien.
"Burn": Für mich scharf (erträglich), aber Geschmack ist scheußlich. Keine Ahnung was sie da rein […]

Something new I've come across in grading is that, more frequently, students write something I call a strawman answer: they make up or imagine a totally different thing that is thematically related to the question but not at all part of it, and explain that in great detail.

@ditsch42 Kinder sind der #CDU nur wichtig, wenn man sie vor den Karren der Massenüberwachung spannen kann.

Moved the Chilis inside and put them under a lamp, as it is getting very cold outside in the nighttime, and darkness sets in early now. Learned some lessons this year:
1. Pasillas work, but need to be sown rather early (say, early March), so they can get full blast heat during summer months when […]

Review time. Authors start their hypothesis paragraph with "We believe", then bring forth no theoretical prediction or empirical data. Sigh.

I got a phishing text message for my birthday. Kind of fitting.
