For the first time ever, I had to make a payment in crypto.
I can now confidently say that crypto payments combine the speed of a dial up modem and the ease of updating the drivers on a 1998 HP Laserjet printer.

Relax people. I don't write code in nano, but thanks for all the vim suggestions.

There’s a very surreal conversation I keep having on here where people seem unable to hold two ideas at the same time, and I’m not sure why. It’s simply true that the Big AI platforms like ChatGPT are:
1. Extremely bad for society, in many ways.
2. Very genuinely popular with lots of people.

If it works, you should be able to explain it in simple terms.

I'm seeing the same logic being used across the stack that people used to deprioritize training their own models and use "off-the-shelf" solutions. I'm seeing a bigger push for standards or abstractions such as vLLM and the adoption of open source tooling even if that means lower quality.

It's not that prices are going down, it's that people are starting to hedge their bets on datacenter spend, being open to using open source alternatives, or willing to put in the work necessary to leverage non Nvidia hardware, take Google's TPUs, or Amazon's Trainium chips for example.

We've reached the point with "AI" that no one wants to pay a premium today for what will become a commodity tomorrow.

NEWS — The Oregon Department of Human Services has issued 100% of November SNAP benefits, per an alert on their website. I've received reports that the funds have already hit recipients' EBT accounts.

Kubernetes is the sum of all the shell scripts, and practices, system administrators have cobbled together over time, presented as a single system behind a declarative set of APIs.

I wonder how many airlines have offered to pay air traffic controller's salaries during the shutdown, which has to be cheaper than canceling flights or refunding tickets.
Yeah so they’re cutting flights at the 40 busiest airports starting with 4% on Friday and ramping up to 10% through the weekend, and that includes ATL. If you’re attending #KubeCon and you aren’t threat modeling around this and making contingency plans already, strongly recommend starting now
So, uh, KubeCon attendees: how we feeling about the threat model of them shutting down the airspace? Are we all moving to Atlanta

This event kicks off in about 30 mins. Here is one of the slides from the deck we will walk through today as we attempt to find a solution to the cross config problem, which requires us to build configuration consensus across multiple tools.

Most configuration management systems have no way of expressing dependencies on external configuration, nor have the ability to validate or enforce configuration policies across multiple tools, which creates conflicts that lead to downtime. Take the classic firewall misconfiguration for example.
