Rarely have I seen AI described so succinctly.

It's staggering how many people have been killed by COVID worldwide The central estimate of the true death toll of the continuing pandemic, using excess deaths (as calculated by The Economist), is 27.3 million It's hard to imagine how many that is. How a big a pile that is 🧵

Hi there! Just a reminder that we absolutely crushed seasonal flu and and drove one lineage extinct when we made an effort to mitigate viral transmission. SARS-CoV-2 isn't so easy, but imagine if we cleaned the air rather than only relying on individual behaviour.

Great convo with @DSotnikov from @Cayosoft about preparation, best practices and resilience!

🧵 Psych thoughts re: the Seine: This was obviously a policy failure that we watched unfold in real time. ("Wait! Stop! Come back!" says Willie Wonka.) But it also demonstrates how people selectively trust authority figures when those leaders are... 1/14 cnn.com/2024/08/04/sport/bel…

Of course I'm living in fear. With global leaders ignoring a pandemic for 4 years, genocide, climate change, the steady descent into fascism. I'm living in fear of those who *aren't* living in fear. We need a total uprising

This is one of the funniest things I have ever seen and I love it. This is how you folks sound, you sound ridiculous. I know you don't think you do, but you do. #CovidIsNotOver

THIS. School closures weren’t unnecessary or an overreaction. The problem is that decision-makers failed to implement the measures needed to make schools safer for children to return to an in-person learning environment.

This is an absolutely incredible, must-watch, all-timer of a clip. The Secretary of State admits social media has made it almost impossible to hide atrocities and a sitting senator agrees by saying outloud that was a factor in leveraging the power of the state against TikTok.

Clean the air, FFS.

It was awesome to get to interview @Dixie3Flatline about the 1.30 release of Kubernetes, which is out now! Check out the episode to hear what's new in "Uwubernetes"! uwu 😆

i love this framing! the skill that most distinguishes a novice/ineffective engineering manager from an experienced, effective engineering manager, IMO, is the ability to right-size your team's workload by saying no to the right things.

A bunch of nerds: Your code needs to be memory safe to move the industry forward Every CVE in 2024: if you add a funny character to this URL parameter you can execute commands as root

The CNCF TOC is so strange. It's 11 members that get appointed to hotly contested seats through a series of elections, then it takes over a year to close out a vote on a single proposal and 3/11 people can't even be bothered to vote. github.com/cncf/toc/pull/956

We have 182 open engineering roles at Datadog right now, with more coming. If you're looking for work, check out the list and apply, or send me a DM if you have questions. Otherwise maybe give this post an RT so someone else may see it. Link below to appease the algorithm🙏⤵️

This wins the Internet tonight
