The more I think about this the madder I get

This is AWESOME!! EventBridge now delivers events to cross-account targets directly without having to send them to the default bus in the target account first. More details here: aws.amazon.com/about-aws/wh...
I just wanna triple down on saying: push to create environments in your work where people feel okay saying "I don't know" or "I'm not aware of [...]" So much time is wasted on egos and optics to know everything that could otherwise be used to identify gaps and next steps. Get out of that trap.
As someone smarter than me said, there are two takes on Elon Musk: one is that he's Henry Ford, and the other is that he's Henry Ford. It just depends on what you actually know about Henry Ford.
The rich are engineering an existence only for themselves and largely don't really realize it I think
Yep. I think a lot about "pinch" the concept I first learned from mobile game design that by making something inconvenient, you can charge people to make that inconvenience go away. And once you learn to spot pinch in all aspects of society, you can't unsee it.
Dennis Detwiller@drgonzo123.bsky.social · 3y agoNothing works. Airlines. Making movies. College. Retirement. Mass transit. Medicine. Housing. Everything is a scam, or on its way to becoming a scam. Nothing works and it’s all by design, because every hitch in the process is another way for the rich to make more money.
Oooohhh these are some great additions to AWS Step Functions: - Custom error messages in fail states - JitterStrategy for retries (!) - MaxDelaySeconds for retries
AWS Step Functions launches enhanced error handling

Not ready to implement Zero Trust, so we’ve decided on a security posture based on “Two Truths and a Lie”
it'd be cool to nationalize basically everything Musk owns
Some news: next year I'll be starting a job at Siemens Digital Industries in Erlangen, Germany! Looking forward to many interesting challenges to bring the serverless mindset to. And I'm going to be an EMEA Hero!
When people are nostalgic about Ye Olde Internette and wonder why we can't recapture that, this is why: the old internet was atomized **and that was good, actually**. But no one's gonna become a billionaire off of 3 million different self-hosted niche interest phpBB sites so here we are.
Anil Dash@anildash.com · 3y agoThis is good, but just slightly misses the point — we don’t just have to kill the idea of the “one killer app” everyone uses for community online. It’s recognizing that we’ve *always* been using _lots_ of sites & apps. https://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/we-dont-need-a-new-twitter
I don’t think it can be emphasized enough that large language models were never intended to do math or know facts; literally all they do is attempt to sound like the text they’re given, which may or may not include math or facts. They don’t do logic or fact checking — they’re just not built for that
Popular Science@popsci.com · 3y agoUnfortunately, it repeatedly offers incorrect answers for straightforward math questions. 🧪
as a junior engineer: "can't wait for the day I have prod access!" as a senior engineer: "take prod access away from me RIGHT NOW"
Even after more than a decade of Uber, people don’t seem to get that the venture capitalists only subsidize the “disruptive” tech long enough to throw the displaced workers into permanent precarity, then they raise prices after destroying the overall market. Cab driver suicides are the strategy.
They-Ra@xanindigo.bsky.social · 3y agoAt an end, your rule is. And not short enough, it was.
Literally every bus driver on the planet does more for green transport every day than musk has done in his life
This is just to say I honored and commemorated the place and the deeds which you had sent me a message about Forgive me The danger was present in my time as it was in yours
Don't worry physicists, programmers don't know how to do reproducible builds or document them either.
very classic blockchain use case, in that it would be better served with a solution like "literally do nothing, it would be cheaper and more effective"
meanwhile let's see what the most powerful man on the planet has to say about this issue

At this point, I think it's the receiver's responsibility to manage notification settings
Joe Beda@h.olysh.it · 3y agoiMessage feature wish: a way to send a text and deliver it silently. I'd like to send something (good!) for when someone wakes up but not wake them up. How do you text "good morning!"?
Good morning, Tesla is a fraud https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/tesla-batteries-range/
It's still weird to me that FedEx/UPS/USPS haven't come up with a system for using opaque identifiers for shipping. Two people should be able to exchange a package without revealing either address
