@mymoneyview My point exactly @mymoneyview I never applied for a loan. Some Joe Schmoe applied, and some wise person decided to stick my email address on the application. DM coming up ...

@amrithkumar We regret for the inconvenience. However, We tried searching for your Loan application, based on your Google A/C name, but could not find it. Please share your Loan application I.D and connect with us at care@moneyview.in or Twitter DM us. DM-twitter.com/messages/compo…

Dear @mymoneyview how does one get in touch with you? Email to care@ goes unresponded, and I can't get through to your phone number. In the ongoing saga of "I'm not the Amrith Kumar you want" (see hypecycles.com/2016/09/18/the…) you sent me a 100 page credit report of one of

your customers. No password, no protection, nothing. His PAN, voter registration, ration card, address, workplace, income, loan history (quite bad), ... What protections does your customer have around data privacy and protection?

@jaypipes @JulieVPipes nice!! I still have a picture in which you look a lot like that, let me go search the interwebs ...

Yes, sounds about right. I think “stupid person’s idea of a clever person” is a good description of regenerative AI as it stands today. [source: A review of “The Olive Tree” published in Spectator, 11 December 1936, page 23, 24].

he is expected to be relentless, to administer intellectual shocks. This attitude to Mr. Huxley, to which his early work has been given credit has been maintained, and strengthened, for about twenty years.”

Elizabeth Bowen, writing about Aldous Huxley in 1936 applies just as well to #regenerative #AI today 🤔 “Mr. Huxley has been the alarming young man for a long time, a sort of perpetual clever nephew who can be relied on to flutter the lunch-party. Whatever will he say next?

@jeremy_daly Makes good sense, if you are buying a pallet of anvils, a battleship, or a large aircraft.

Am I the only one confused by this? 🤔

@somu_peri I tried to fold my pixel 7 and it didn't work very well after that. These guys may be on to something here.

Unless this thing can pull a rabbit out of a hat this is daylight robbery. I would rather donate 1800 to charity 😂😂

@thealexkates It is the blinky thing where you type. You can move it around with the mose and it stops where you click.

I'm working with a SQL engineer that keeps using the term "cursor" and at this point I feel like it's too late to ask what that is

@craig_tracey Nice, all the best in the next adventure Craig

It's been 6 years since joining Heptio, and now a little over 4 years since the acquisition by VMware. It's been a fun and wild ride, but tomorrow will be my last day at VMware. Incredible new things to come.

@gigabarb @XfinitySupport The problem with monopolies. But @Xfinity has perfected the art.

@xfinitysupport DM'd you no reply. Meanwhile, on minute 25+ on hold. first operator shunted me off to higher level of "service." i would dispute that characterization.

@XfinitySupport WORST. SUPPORT. EVER. FOR A MERE $280 A MONTH. honest to god RCN is looking better by the second.

@prithviontwtr @alexbdebrie @elrowan I know that you said "query" an index. With DynamoDB Shell, you don't need to think about GetItem, Query and Scan. You pick the target and the where clause. The first of GetItem, Query or Scan that will work will be chosen (most efficient). EXPLAIN will tell you which!

@prithviontwtr @alexbdebrie @elrowan Querying of indexes is supported (from the very beginning IIRC). CREATE TABLE CUSTOMER (...) GSI ( SOMEGSI ...) ...; SELECT * FROM CUSTOMER.SOMEGSI WHERE ...; The syntax is <table> (dot) <gsi or lsi>

@alexbdebrie @elrowan Thanks @alexbdebrie .. Absolutely - exploratory, scripting, maintenance, education, ... You should check out v0.5 (binaries available for linux, homebrew on mac) which supports rate limited queries. #rate-limiting" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">ddbsh.org/#rate-limiting

@elrowan This is from the excellent @amrithkumar ! I think it's really useful for exploratory purposes. Can be easier than writing a quick script with the DDB API. I actually like it better than PartiQL because of its intended use -- exploratory rather than programmatic within your app

@simonggillett @houlihan_rick @awscloud @simonggillett no compiler required for mac now ... brew tap aws/tap brew install aws-ddbsh

@houlihan_rick @amrithkumar @awscloud This is awesome - if only I had a C++ compiler . #singletabledesign

My friend and former colleague @amrithkumar just put out a very neat tool I wish we had when I was working at @awscloud. Check out the DynamoDB Shell. hypecycles.com/2023/01/25/hel…

@bradtopol @dims @richburroughs For $25

@dims @richburroughs I’m coining the term “Dims’ Law”. Which intuitively claims that raspberry pi clusters have 25% of the high availability of standard clusters! 😂

And a very good morning to this person!

@bradtopol @stevebot Nice!! Great to see you both!

Great running into an old friend, @stevebot, at #KubeConEU!
