After almost 10 years at @awscloud - it is time to do something new. Happy to announce that I have founded a stealth startup to focus on high-performance and scientific computing. We're also open to helping folks with their cloud computing needs!

You maybe should have looked at the track record @elonmusk before putting all your chips on red. Did you seriously believe he would put balancing the budget ahead of entitlement reform, tax cuts, and eliminating pork necessary to get his friends elected? And the only way the budget has been balanced since 2001 was through economic growth - as in dot com economic growth. So if you want to balance the budget, make the economy (and matching tax rate) look a bit like 1998-2001. Or dramatically cut services, which clearly Congress is not behind. There isn’t enough meat in just the @DOGE areas of focus alone, or the department of education, or truly discretionary @DeptofDefense spending. Just saying. The math needs to math more. You whack all the government employees, you actually reduce revenues.

OK. I thought @awscloud had gone crazy for #GenerativeAI @QuinnyPig - but really, @MoodysCorp - this is supposed to make us trust the ratings agencies more? The same group who rated subprime AAA is now going to use a probability model to rate bonds. 🤦🏽‍♂️

We really don’t need a new source of hallucinations in our rating systems. There is plenty of hallucinatory risk without adding a generative AI model into the mix.

Hallucinations are indeed still a major problem for LLMs @QuinnyPig. I don’t know if it is fair to ask it this - but I could see a beginner asking this question.

This is what makes me nervous about using LLMs in scenarios where being wrong has a financial, legal, or medical impact. It truly is a gamble still.

Tomorrow morning, in a few hours I will bid a final farewell to my eyes, my ears, my nose, my protector, my best friend, my partner and my son. I cannot express and won’t even attempt to express the contributions my partner made to the community he served, and to me whom he protected. At times knowing he was going into battle, and disregarded natural instincts and put his life before mine. Some will see him as only a dog, but to the lives he undoubtedly saved, and touched he will forever be CP109 K9 King, a hero. Here to take care of what needs taken care of, always ready to carry the burden. Rest easy son, if there’s a heaven for heroes, you’re there as the most beautiful of Gods creation, Man’s best friend, my best friend. In 1,000 lifetimes I’ll never deserve you 💙😢🙏 Share=RESPECT

Sharing my threads profile. I currently cross post across LinkedIn and Twitter. Threads will now be added to the list. lnkd.in/g6Mf3BZy

So ever since @elonmusk has taken over, my @Twitter feed has been dominated by pictures of adorable cute furry animals and open source advocacy from @_msw_. Is god trying to tell me something?

The real existential question is whether I treasure Max and Hawk as much as discussions about @RedHat.

Sorry @RedHat, you are not as important or as loved as Max, Hawk, Sam (blessed be his soul), or @amazon #Linux from @awscloud! (I may be a touch biased, just a smidgen). I would love to understand how Twitter determines my interests though.

Redundancy helps fight packet loss in real-time Internet voice communication. By leveraging neural vocoding, Amazon Chime SDK’s new deep-redundancy technology can reconstruct long sequences of lost packets with little bandwidth overhead. #ConvAI
