At long last, @chris.blue and I have submitted the final manuscript of Designing Data-Intensive Applications, second edition, to the publisher. There is always more that could be improved but at some point we just have to call it done. Now it goes into production; probably shipping in ~4 months.

This is correct. It’s VCs who spend their time doing drugs and inventing weird religions, executives who have boners about firing workers, and non-technical hucksters who are pushing this stuff. The vast majority of people doing actual technical work on the ground feel the way this piece describes
Okay, for the folks who asked: here's the majority AI view, writing up the reasonable, thoughtful view on AI that the vast majority of people in tech hold, that gets overshadowed by the bluster and hype of the tycoons trying to shill their nonsense. anildash.com/2025/10/17/t... Please share!

Most robots will not be humanoid. The future of robots is an automated logistics and distribution system that can bring stuff from a container ship to your house, all with minimal intervention; and the robots involved are often huge and inhuman.

How Robots Bring You Your Stuff
Robots in shipping and logistics are basically the opposite of the generalizable robotics that we like to talk about and which capture the imagination

hi, federal judge expert here! this is not funny. conservative, Reagan-appointed district judges only use epistolary framing devices in their opinions when they are in extreme distress.
the postcard cited in judge young's ruling isn't just at the top, it's a framing device. the whole opinion is a letter to the postcard writer. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
![I hope you found this
helpful. Thanks for writing.
It shows you care. You
should.
Sincerely & respectfully,
Bill Young
P.S. The next time you’re in
Boston [the postmark on the card
is from the Philadelphia area]
stop in at the Courthouse and
watch your fellow citizens, sitting
as jurors, reach out for justice.
It is here, and in courthouses
just like this one, both state and
federal, spread throughout our land
that our Constitution is most vibrantly
alive, for it is well said that “Where a
jury sits, there burns the lamp of
liberty.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:maiw2rfujepnphhrejytvuu5/bafkreidbrekbkq3duu4ev7w4wmiamoiupplzgmu5nj5np4yyjze2svfyoy@jpeg)

It feels like the door to hell is unlocked but our leaders are pushing as hard as they can against it because that PULL sign can’t tell them what to do. I have no idea what to make of this.

performative public lying is a hallmark of authoritarianism. they’re just asserting dominance over the truth. better to never give them any credence whatsoever and move on to whatever you wanted to say.
can’t believe i still see so many liberals trying to debunk gop talking points as if they are actually outlining disprovable arguments, not clumsy pretexts for projecting power. you people sound like you are attempting to out-logic a squid dragging you underwater. use a fucking machete.
