@jeremyphoward @NirantK @paraschopra waiting eagerly for the next SolveIt training ! Another one coming in 2025 ? @jeremyphoward

@NirantK @paraschopra Yes we're working on that now as it happens!

Steal this idea. Make educational videos on YouTube interactive. Take a video (like 3b1b Linear Algebra), chop it into sections and then put them in a Jupyter-notebook like environment where learners alternate between learning a concept and exploring it via code/exercises.

Vive la France ! 🇫🇷

seeing the results from France 🇫🇷 🥲

@markburgess_osl @jamesurquhart wrote in his book (Flow Architectures) how he uses Promise Theory to validate the relationships between components in a Wardley Map.

I often notice how my work on Promise Theory for human cooperation closely aligns with the approach of Wardley Mapping. I use different terms and the origin of the ideas is different, but the conclusions and methods end up being sort of the same. This is a good thing!

@jeremyphoward @karpathy I also love Quarto, I use daily for my notes and to publish to my blog.

@karpathy Another vote for Quarto, which is a really smooth experience. To get convenient image paste functionality, use a vscode extension like this one: github.com/mushanshitianc…

Thinking about the ideal blogging platform: 1. Writing: - in markdown - with full WYSIWYG, not just split view (think: Typora) - super easy to copy paste and add images 2. Deploying: - renders into static pages (think: Jekyll) - super simple, super minimal html with no bloat - hosting at a nice url 3. Maintaining: - analytics (think: Google Analytics) - comments section (think: Disqus) 4. Ownership: - full export, access/ownership of the raw files to perpetuity should the need arise to move elsewhere. I don't believe this exists. Github hosting (my primary blog atm) comes close. I use VS Code + extensions to write, but dealing with images is a bit of a pain and no WYSIWYG. I also experimented with Typora for writing, and then export to markdown, but still a bit clunky. Jekyll is ~ok but is very heavy and keeps breaking. Deploy is super easy (git push). Maintanace is non-existent, have to separately use and pay for Disqus and Analytics. Platforms like Medium/Substack are quick and convenient, but extremely annoying with all their log in requirements, popups, unnecessary features (e.g. highlights), various other dark patterns they invent over time and you down "own" your files, and can't download them as simple markdown if you wanted to. Right now feeling this close |---| to trying to build the thing 🤦‍♂️🥲

I will be exploring the idea of using containers as the default packaging for my Lambda functions. How practical would this be ? What changes would it bring to IaC and deployment pipelines ? #Serverless

I have published a second issue of my newsletter - The Architect Notebook - Enjoy reading ! #Serverless architect-notebook.beehiiv.com

@julian_wood Thanks for sharing, this is my watch list !

Catching up on #Serverless re:Invent videos? Here's a handy playlist of videos across a number of tracks. youtube.com/playlist?list=…

I've just invoked Art.99 of the UN Charter - for the 1st time in my tenure as Secretary-General. Facing a severe risk of collapse of the humanitarian system in Gaza, I urge the Council to help avert a humanitarian catastrophe & appeal for a humanitarian ceasefire to be declared.

Amazon Code Whisperer support for Infrastructure-as-Code - I was waiting for that !

Bedrock Agents GA is also a great announcement from yesterday re:Invent keynote. I am looking forward to test this.

I am absolutely thrilled by the new integration of AWS Step Functions with Amazon Bedrock. This opens the door to #Serverless orchestration of #GenAI actions. aws.amazon.com/fr/blogs/aws/b…

@danilop Really good blog post. Clearly demonstrates how a fully serverless architecture is not only compliant with PCI security requirements but also shifts responsibility of many of the requirements to AWS. For example, there is no need for a single customer-owned VPC.

This can be handy 👉 Transforming transactions: Streamlining PCI compliance using AWS serverless architecture buff.ly/460fMQq #AWS #Serverless #FinTech

I'll be speaking at Tours in a few days for my second AWS User Group. Looking forward to it ! 🚄 Expect some #Serverless vibes

I like this pattern: EventBridge enrichment with Lambda - pretty good idea to have 2 different rules, one to enrich the message, and one to consume it boyney.io/blog/2022-11-0… @boyney123

@theburningmonk Great summary, thanks for sharing. A good reminder of the great improvement we got in 2022 when the Lambda tmp storage was increased from 512 MB to 10 GB.

EFS is a fully managed network filesystem and you can use it to share files between Lambda, EC2 and ECS, but when does it make sense to use it? In this video, I explain how to set up EFS, how it works and why you prob shouldn't use it with Lambda... youtu.be/E6of7Xfuo4Q

@andmoredev @donkersgood A great post, exposing and dismissing most of the fallacies we hear against #serverless. I think behind all of this, there's also a lot of inertia due to past investment in other technologies (containers, k8s, ...).

Very well put! Have a read to see how @donkersgood tackles the topics people keep brining up against #serverless. * It's locks you in * It's too expensive * It's too difficult * It's too opinionated I'm still surprised these topics keep coming up. lucvandonkersgoed.com/2023/10/13/if-…
