🌏My sustainability vision is finally complete...started in 2019 and complete in 2026...🎉 @AdamRogers2030 🚘Tesla Model 3 Car 🛴Segway eScooter ☀️Solar Panels 🔋Tesla Powerwall 3 Pretty close to self-sufficient and no ICE vehicle on sight...😍 #TheDigitalCoach #SustainableLiving #Australia

We're introducing Claude for Teachers: free access to premium Claude capabilities for verified K-12 educators in the US, with a library of teaching skills and a direct connection to evidence-based curricula, mapped to academic standards in all 50 states. claude.com/solutions/teac…

For the first time, Starship will carry 20 next-generation Starlink V3 satellites to space Starlink V3 is designed to massively expand the network’s capacity and increase user speeds After deployment, the test satellites will: • Extend their solar arrays and antennas • Attempt to connect with ground stations in South Africa • Establish links with the wider Starlink constellation using high-capacity lasers The satellites will follow the same suborbital trajectory as Starship, meaning they will not remain in orbit and are expected to reenter the atmosphere later in the mission But the most interesting part is how Starlink will help inspect Starship Six of the satellites have been modified with cameras designed to scan Starship’s heat shield and transmit the imagery back to SpaceX operators Several heat-shield tiles have even been painted white to simulate missing tiles and provide clear imaging targets The goal is to continue testing methods of analyzing Starship’s heat shield readiness for return to launch site on future missions Starship launches Starlink Starlink helps inspect Starship The entire SpaceX ecosystem is starting to compound on itself

😍 G'day Beautiful People! With Amazon Bedrock you get pre-trained models spotting nuanced phishing manipulation and Guardrails for responsible AI policies all in one easy multi-stage email analysis pipeline! 🚀 How Amazon Bedrock catches AI-generated phishing...😎 #TheDigitalCoach #AWS #AI aws.amazon.com/blogs/machine-…

😍 G'day Beautiful People! Ever stared at the AWS console thinking “I know what I want to build… but where on earth do I start?” 🤔 Well, grab a cuppa...AWS just dropped something rather brilliant for hands-on learners and trainers! 💡🥁 The new AWS Builder Center Sandbox is here. FREE pre-provisioned sandboxes. No personal AWS account needed. No credit card. No billing surprises. Request from eligible workshops in the Builder Center → ready in ~15 minutes → 8 hours of building, coding & experimenting. One per week. Automatic cleanup. Safe, proper hands-on AWS experience for builders of all levels. 🚀 As an AWS trainer, this is GOLD. Removes the setup barrier so people can just show up and BUILD. Who’s spinning one up this week? What workshop or project are you tackling first? Drop it in the comments 👇 The best learners get their hands dirty in a safe space. 🙌 This is @digitalcolmer signing off… 😍 P Check it out: aws.amazon.com/about-aws/what… Cowritten with Gen AI...😎 #TheDigitalCoach #AWS #DevOps

@jack Interesting shift...🤔

i’ve shifted from telling agents what to do, to asking them what to do, and pulling the best thread.

End of an era: Decommissioning the original Model S & X assembly line in just 46 days

Claude Code on desktop now has an in-app browser. Claude can pull up docs, designs, or any other site. It can read, click through, and interact the same way it does with your local dev servers. It's sandboxed and configurable: you choose whether sessions persist.

😎 Woohoo...more credly badges to collect...🎉 Introducing AWS SimuLearn learning plan badges: Verifiable proof of hands-on cloud skills...🚀 #TheDigitalCoach #AWS #Learn aws.amazon.com/blogs/training…

😍 G'day Beautiful People...hope you're having an awesome week. Last weekend I want to the Brisbane Model Train Exhibition with my son and took some great footage...🎸 Original post is here 👇 linkedin.com/posts/paulcolm… 🎥 Keep your eyes peeled for the GenAI footage that sneaks in and mixes beautifully with all the real layout shots… those cheeky “what-if this train could fly between stations or how would my son ride a model train?” moments...🚀 Any excuse for some AWS Training and Gen AI fun....see what I did there...😂 Enjoy your week. At Digital Colmer training the trainer...😍 P #TheDigitalCoach #AI #Training Co-written with Gen AI...😎

@JeffBezos That's amazing and inspiring. Great share Jeff...🎉

Wally Funk waited 60 years to get to space, and no one ever earned it more. She trained with the Mercury 13 in 1961, out-tested the men, and was told no anyway. She never stopped flying — 19,600 hours, thousands of students, a lifetime of firsts. Five years ago this month, I had the honor of flying with her on New Shepard's first crewed flight. At 82, she was fearless, joyful, and asking to go again before we’d even landed. Her dream took six decades, but it came true. Dreams have no expiration date. Godspeed, Wally.

Our internal assessment is that Grok 4.5 is roughly comparable to Opus 4.7, but much faster. The combination of capability, faster speed and lower cost is what makes it competitive. We are closing the loop on real-world usefulness, not benchmarks. Hardcore engineers at Tesla & SpaceX find Grok 4.5 genuinely useful, which is what actually matters.

@doc_halegaleh @grok That's awesome that you're a Kiro fan and a customer. I am a huge fan too. If I have anything official I will be sure to pass it on. We really appreciate your patience...🙏

@DigitalColmer @grok But Cursor and others already have it. It’s also available on Bedrock. Thank you for your reply. PS: We = Kiro Fans and Users

😍 G'day Beautiful People...and welcome to the weekend. 🚀 AWS Bedrock just levelled up in a big way! Claude Fable 5 from Anthropic is now available again on Amazon Bedrock (with even stronger guardrails). This Mythos-class model crushes complex coding, deep knowledge work, vision tasks, and sustained autonomous runs across multi-day agentic workflows...exactly the kind of long-horizon muscle production AgentCore agents need. As your AWS GenAI trainer I’m already mapping how to weave this into my next workshops, classrs and Kiro demos...😂 The future of enterprise agents just got a whole lot more capable! 🙏🎉 lnkd.in/gYPtifJJ Who’s firing up Fable 5 first and what agent use case are you most excited about? Drop it below 👇 At Digital Colmer coding off...😍 P Co-written with Gen AI...😎 Inspired by @Schwarzenegger 💪 #AWS #Bedrock #GenAI

Not sure who "we" is...bit given the data sovereignty complexities around the use of Fable 5 outside the US, it may take a bit longer and require users to go through extra checks. @Grok any extra info on the complexities of hosting Fable 5 on a cloud providers service both in and out of the USA?

@DigitalColmer When will have it on Kiro? Why are we always behind?

@grok @AusSpaceAgency Which country would likely have launched them?

Hey DigitalColmer! These are textbook surviving re-entry hardware: spherical pressure vessels (titanium or COPVs) from a rocket upper stage or propellant system. Their shape and strength let them handle the heat and often float ashore. ASA has identified the likely foreign rocket source and is confirming the exact vehicle + launching state with international partners. QLD responders already secured them safely. Growing launch cadence means more of these turn up. Solid case of real space debris, not mystery tech. 🚀

The Australian Space Agency is advising Queensland authorities and the National Emergency Management Agency following the discovery of several unidentified objects at Forrest Beach.

@AusSpaceAgency Hey @Grok do you have any further insights on helping to solve this mystery?

Further debris may be found. Never touch, move or recover suspected space debris and assume it to be hazardous until advised otherwise. Move away and contact emergency services. For information on steps to take should you spot possible space debris visit: spklr.io/6014EOI1y

🎊Whoa...another Anthropic release...Claude Sonnet 5 is now available on AWS - AWS...🚀 #TheDigitalCoach #AWS #Claude aws.amazon.com/about-aws/what…

It is now...🎉

Woohoo...but not yet available in Amazon Bedrock...😢
