A new article: "On communicating through writing":

In this one, I try to convey why I am so "document-driven", heavily leaning on writing up ideas (including technical documents, product decisions and so on) in a structured way.

This seems like a substantial foreign policy shift toward conditional support (from the previous unconditional)

The reports from #Gaza are terrible. Civilians seeking shelter getting killed is unacceptable. The repeated attacks on #schools by the Israeli army must stop & be investigated quickly. 1/3

Nice work Spain,
Good game, well played England.

Lovely people I am substantially reducing my personal and semi-professional (read: conference and community) for at least the next few months.
If I look like I'm ignoring things, don't worry, I'm ignoring things — but that's by design. Right now I need focus!

#SREConEMEA #CallForPapers ends soon! If you were planning on submitting a talk, you should do it now. Otherwise, you'll forget and you'll miss that opportunity 😥
It doesn't take too long. Checkout the website for details:

For a lot of us, it's labor day. And what better day to celebrate than doing some FREE LABOUR!
Okay, that was terrible, But #SRECon is on soon, and a public holiday is a good opportunity to write up that #CallForPapers. If you can, get on it!

@rootameen Nicee! I'll probably there. Come say hi!

@andrewhowdencom I'm very excited to hopefully attend this year, for the first time.

#SREConEMEA has its #CallForPapers currently open! You can access it here:

I have both been and spoken at this conference, and it is the conference I think is perhaps most valuable to go to.
If you have thoughts on software operations write them up!

@pauljwarner Uhhm nah I reckon it was all right. It definitely moved through material; it wasn't the same point rehashed 10 chapters

Another book bites the dust! This one "Quit" by Anne Duke. It felt almost like a reply to Duckworths "Grit" book at times 😅 but it points out excellent examples of the sunk cost problem, escalation of commitment and strategies to address that (such as kill or exit criteria)

Briefly, I want to address the issue of who is to blame. Easy — the people behind the attack. Lasse, the maintainer of xz, was the target of a patient intelligence campaign that invested more resources into subverting him than anyone invested into his project.

Another book bites the dust! This one a recommendation from @voidmaze. A super useful book for my new, vastly more diverse workplace but a book I am leaning on quickly even for intersections with colleagues, teams and vendors — for a bunch of professional relationships.

On a large enough training set (e.g. LLMs), are AIs just a super expensive regression to the mean

@Noahpinion I am still bemused at the anchoring of politics in a direction (left and right). In lieu of a discussion of the issues (or even sound bytes), it's degraded into Red vs Blue tribalism.

Leftists just want to smash America because they think their stupid ideology will arise and take power in the aftermath. It will not. If America fell, reactionaries would defeat leftists, killing many and dispossessing many others of their parents' million-dollar suburban homes.

First they said they’d never vote for Biden because he didn’t do enough on climate. Then they said they’d never vote for Biden unless he forgave student loans. Then they’d never vote for Biden because of Israel’s war in Gaza. Now they say they can’t vote for Biden because of the immigration bill. … I’m starting to think the real motivation is actually campaigning against Biden.

@mattyglesias Tbh for me it is not a question of "can I", it is a question of "is it the best for me". So far, the US brings substantial risks to my stability, and the work culture limits my benefiting from a lot of its natural splendor.
There are other places with better tradeoffs.

Without knowing too much about this impl, Otel getting profiling as a capability would be pretty freaking dope.
Halvar Flake@halvarflake
I am *extremely* happy to report that Elastic has filed a ticket to donate the universal profiling agent (the multi-runtime frictionless eBPF profiler formerly known as prodfiler) as project to OpenTelemetry. This is of course still pending TC review and many other step, but...
