Fascinating discussion on HN re: how burned out everyone in big tech is on AI: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4613...
I can relate. At this point, I've been working in the AI space for the better part of 2 years and I'm pretty sick of it. The value add just isn't there.

The New York Times reports on how David Sacks is using his position as the White House’s AI czar to benefit his investments and those of his friends.
While this sounds like conflict of interest, there’s an old Silicon Valley VC saying - “No conflict. No interest.”
Corruption is just good business.

Gave johncodes.com/ a new coat of paint: greyscale on both lite and dark modes. I think it turned out well! Removed ATON of cruft in the process. Amazing what you can get out of a pretty basic `PostRow.astro` component

Still haven’t found a container based CI/CD system I like as much as concourse: was way ahead of its time and interfacing with the “fly” CLI made the end to end experience just great
I still think Concourse is really great: github.com/concourse/co...
GitHub - concourse/concourse: Concourse is a container-based automation system written in Go. It's mostly used for CI/CD.

People pursing nursing won't be eligible for higher federal loan limits nor loan forgiveness programs

Amazon gutting the Amazon Games division and swiftly killing their only good product, New Worlds, is a great reminder of why the Don't Kill Games movement is so important: Amazon, once you kill the New World servers, just open source it! Let others go and run their own servers!!

when I worked at AWS, it just absolutely baffled me that nearly all customers just shoved their compute into us-east-1: Netflix was the worst offender - at the time, much of their CDN seeding originated from us-east-1.
