Folks read "mass 16k layoffs at amazon" and may think it's not great, but I don't think they realize how deeply it can, will, and is impacting stability of services they may be rely on.

Rushed mass layoffs like this have lead to stories emerging of on-call staff having accounts locked on them as layoff notices arrive early 6am in the morning as they are mid response to pageable sev2 events, leaving the event on going and unaddressed, and the rest of the team asleep while there is no oncall coverage for that and future events till the team wakes up and starts triaging that their on-call was axed in the early morning with no notice.

This article very nicely puts into words my thoughts about the absolute mess that is today's software industry.

One point I want to add: please finish your software. Please define a finite scope of problems that your product solves, and when that's fulfilled, put your project into maintenance mode where you only fix bugs. Finished software is beautiful.

I’m on a train and someone clearly hasn’t realised that their headphones aren’t properly connected to their phone. That in itself is nothing new. However: by the sounds of it, this person is listening to an AI-generated audiobook. As in: both the writing and the voice seem GenAI’d, and both are so bad lol

Happy Friday / Friyay to all the #BSD folks!

I'm thinking in building a HomeAssistant compatible stack for FreeBSD.

I want HA in my router, not in a dedicated machine.

What should i name the fork ?

It going to be compatible , but with a more civilized architecture.

I recently posted about not wanting to CW certain political posts, and someone gave me a bunch of shit about it. This post I quoted is one of the most relatable, meaningful things I've read in quite a while, and I skipped it the first time I saw it because it was CW'ed and I just didn't feel like reading about age verification. Had it not had a CW, I'd have read it the first time. I only even clicked it because I'm super bored and can't sleep.

I can't overstate how meaningful it is to me. I want to make everyone I meet read it. "Look, fuckers. It's a god damn miracle that anyone queer even makes it. Look at this. We are alone, scratching out our existence despite your weird, vague hatred. Cobbling ourselves together out of bits and pieces of flourish, weird sex stuff, and yarn that we've accumulated over decades. Fuck outta here with your genocidal age-gate."

Greybeards will already know, but it may give a new learner just a bit more of a chance to learn the old magic more easily. Help maintain the front door as well as the foundations and plumbing.)

With traditional/domain-specific ML, you can optimise your models to reduce the rate of that inevitable decay (you may also settle into a local optimum if the model allows it). So what happens if the model is not tuned to the problem domain (which an LLM really can't be)?

I'm taking a bunch of mental notes about the utility of LLMs, and one thing I keep coming back to is how they evade any means of measurement of effectiveness. NOW: We know that for any probablistic process, if you compose it repeatedly, the probability of the "right answer" approaches 0.

@mapacheMaho 🦝🍻 I had a nice belgian sampler in Le Vintage - it was real tasty, bit on the pricier side with 28 tho.

Nearby C'est bon, c'est belge seemed good too - though so did most of the international options in the city centre.
