@donkersgood I looked at socialbee earlier in the year, which looks decent.
English
Powered by Twitter's decline, the social media landscape is a lot more scattered nowadays. Content creators, what are you all using to crosspost to various networks?
I started using Buffer.com, which seems fine, but I'm curious what else is out there.

just looking at a classic partner logo slide at the #googlecloud event and i am not going to lie, i really like the new @Redisinc logo. it stands out. the typography runs against modern corporate brand conventions with everyone using sans serif typefaces and i am here for it.

Can anyone recommend some good instructions on salt-curing beetroot? I did it a year or two ago, from some instructions online, but they seem to have completely disappeared from Google. Everyone wants me to bake them or make them into kvass.

3x more talks where AI/ML has been crowbarred into them unnecessarily, more likely.
AJ Stuyvenberg@astuyve
There are 3x more AI/ML talks than any other category at re:Invent this year.

10 racks of 1U and 2U servers all named completely randomly: buffy. balrog. mottled. sirocco. rotten. An absolute shitshow to find the damn things at 4am on call.

Elder sysadmins: share your ridiculous server naming schemes. I'll go first: Dune. Mailservers named after guild navigators, all-purpose utility server that changed identities all the time was "Scytale," 40 DHCP servers all named "Duncan Idaho," etc.

Fun trivia piece: over the last week AWS started tweaking the AWS docs content to be better for GenAI/LLMs.
Tiny and unsophisticated changes (clearer section titles, first sentence in each section being framing/TLDR, excessive naming and context, etc) but changes nonetheless!
Vlad Ionescu (he/him)@iamvlaaaaaaad
Update, based on small tests: yup, tiered documentation does bring improvements on all metrics. Fabulous surprise: detailed changelogs have oversized impact. Up next: figuring out the economics and where and how this has the best return. Human UI TBC.

I wonder if this “bureaucracy mailbox” is open to AWS partners as well as employees because JFC, I have Many Fucking Opinions to share.

Two big updates from Andy Jassy today: - Taking a buzzsaw to middle management - Return to Office 5 days a week $AMZN has been dead money for 4 years. Time to crack some skulls

@colmmacc Could you have a word with the AWS partner org about the damage that bureaucracy can deliver pls? 😆😭
English
Bureaucracy in your business internals is a killer and you really want to shut that down, but there is also a certain kind of low-level bureaucracy which is great for gating risk-averse rule-followers and filtering through the driven results-oriented action takers who ignore it.

@BootsUK I’ve tried booking a COVID vaccination at Leeds Trinity twice now, and both times it’s been cancelled the day before with no explanation. What’s going on?
English
@mikejulian And certainly the first launch post I’ve seen that doesn’t desperately try and claim some tenuous relevance to GenAI in a long while.
English
I think it's been a while since a new service was announced outside of re:Invent/pre:Invent?

Grade 2 concussion, broken orbital, fractured wrist, scrapes and bruises, and one hell of a damaged ego.
Helmet likely saved me.

Had a bad accident on my escooter going into work today, flipped over the bars and everything.
Guy in front of me stopped, made sure I was okay, and walked to the office with me to be sure.
Didn’t catch his last name, but thanks a million, Jeff. 💯
