delivering my opening keynote for PyCon Balkan 2018. #pyconblkn

We’re acquiring Promptfoo. We’re buying Safetysnoot. Proud to announce that the Ragschlorp team is joining us. We own a majority stake in Chunkwad.

finally, people can lease just a massive EC2 instance and run their entire kubernetes cluster on it ❤️ aws.amazon.com/about-aws/wha…

JUST IN: 💵 Stripe in talks to acquire PayPal. My only hope is they buy it and then turn it off.

Who opened the door? An Al agent harassed an open-source maintainer. Everyone is asking the wrong question. open.substack.com/pub/chaosg…

Yesterday a quasi-judicial body in Italy fined @Cloudflare $17 million for failing to go along with their scheme to censor the Internet. The scheme, which even the EU has called concerning, required us within a mere 30 minutes of notification to fully censor from the Internet any sites a shadowy cabal of European media elites deemed against their interests. No judicial oversight. No due process. No appeal. No transparency. It required us to not just remove customers, but also censor our 1.1.1.1 DNS resolver meaning it risked blacking out any site on the Internet. And it required us not just to censor the content in Italy but globally. In other words, Italy insists a shadowy, European media cabal should be able to dictate what is and is not allowed online. That, of course, is DISGUSTING and even before yesterday’s fine we had multiple legal challenges pending against the underlying scheme. We, of course, will now fight the unjust fine. Not just because it’s wrong for us but because it is wrong for democratic values. In addition, we are considering the following actions: 1) discontinuing the millions of dollars in pro bono cyber security services we are providing the upcoming Milano-Cortina Olympics; 2) discontinuing Cloudflare’s Free cyber security services for any Italy-based users; 3) removing all servers from Italian cities; and 4) terminating all plans to build an Italian Cloudflare office or make any investments in the country. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. While there are things I would handle differently than the current U.S. administration, I appreciate @JDVance taking a leadership role in recognizing this type of regulation is a fundamental unfair trade issue that also threatens democratic values. And in this case @ElonMusk is right: #FreeSpeech is critical and under attack from an out-of-touch cabal of very disturbed European policy makers. I will be in DC first thing next week to discuss this with U.S. administration officials and I’ll be meeting with the IOC in Lausanne shortly after to outline the risk to the Olympic Games if @Cloudflare withdraws our cyber security protection. In the meantime, we remain happy to discuss this with Italian government officials who, so far, have been unwilling to engage beyond issuing fines. We believe Italy, like all countries, has a right to regulate the content on networks inside its borders. But they must do so following the Rule of Law and principles of Due Process. And Italy certainly has no right to regulate what is and is not allowed on the Internet in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, China, Brazil, India or anywhere outside its borders. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT FIGHT AND WE WILL WIN!!!

If Ukraine 🇺🇦 really did attack Twitter, I think the only logical thing is for @elonmusk to sign a cease fire immediately, give them half of Twitter and make sure he says thank you to @POTUS.

Just finished up my first day at CrowdStrike. Got to push a quick fix to prod before logging off for the day. Looking forward to a long weekend!

All of the people claiming AI is useless are the same people who were claiming that blockchain is a massive scam, that NFTs were worthless, that social media was just pushing open standards in order to increase their stranglehold over the net and choke out small business

"[Microsoft Azure] is excited to announce Retina, a cloud-native container networking observability platform that enables Kubernetes users [...] to visualize, observe, debug, and analyze workload traffic" Cloud-native Kubernetes is an oxymoron ┻━┻ ︵ ¯\(ツ)/¯ ︵ ┻━┻

Gymnastics is the Turing test of video generation models

Universally: “I am trying to do X. The documentation HERE says I should see result Y. I am instead seeing Z. Here is a minimal reproduction case.” This will cause you to close a majority of cases before submitting them as you discover a mistake you’ve made.

Alan Moss, Amazon’s VP of Global Ad Sales (and apparently a user-hostile schmuck), appears to have forgotten who Prime Video's customers are. Prime Video costs money. Am I the customer or the product here?

I hate merge commits. First thing I do when I join a repo is turn that shit off. Rebase or squash only.

giving a talk about not using Kubernetes audience member: we use Kubernetes because it's 25% cheaper on Google Cloud me: yeah, because you're doing 50% of the work yourselves *surprised Pikachu face* 😂

google wasn't satisfied killing their own products, had to start going after their customers products, too
