The magic trick is to "just show up". You don't have to be good when you show up, you don't have to perform well, enjoy the thing, be personable nor engaging.

Literally your only measure of success should be whether or not you showed up.

It takes a lot of pressure off once you do show up.

LLMs have no concept of truth, they just pattern match.

The current approach to fix this is to add an "agent" in front of the LLM with the ability to search for citations in papers, load that into the LLM context, then reply.

The only path forward for Europe is nuclear.

Spain proved it, over-dependence on solar brought the country to its knees.

Any green against nuclear is uninformed or malthusian. Neither should be in a position of power.

Sniff test smells of AI Gen.

The bolt seems way too pronounced, scope seems off too but I'm not an expert.

The coloring is very AI.

So Platform #Engineering is going to overlay a layer of AI Infrastructure as the next big evolution in the #DevOps space.

Platform Engineers will do well to have knowledge of how these things work, because it's going to be a massive part of the job going forward.

And the thing is, I think this is going to be primarily bespoke workloads built by platform teams.

One size fits all approaches will scale as well as a one size fits all infrastructure strategy. It doesn't scale.

All companies have specific needs that require platform teams to carefully manage.

Because Agentic Workflows are going to be a massive improvement to DevEx.

Semantic expression of dev workloads is such an obvious, target rich environment.

Platform teams will need to build agentically aware pipelines. From env setup, to CICD, to monitoring, you want devs to ask in plain english.

The challenge to reliability and security are the same: Agents of immense power, with retrograde amnesia, in an env of move fast and break things.

The security reckoning of AI isn't even on the map yet, and it's gonna be a hellscape.

But I think it's going to be the catalyst for opportunity.

Love the top, but you need to compliment with a looser fit for the pants, and preferably a darker color/material that matches the jacket.

As a software dev, LaForge's "we can do it... With 15 years and hundreds of researchers" hit home

I somewhat agree, if you're describing sexism in absolute terms, which is fine.

But there's limits to how useful that approach is, as all media is sexist on a long enough timeline. Hard to find nuance- let alone move the culture forward- without grounding media to its time and place. 🤷

I have to say it's an uncharitable take to call WoT sexist.

The series was progressive for the culture of its time- gender equality was the culture.

It falls flat today due to no gender fluidity, a concept I expect Jordan had exactly zero exposure to.

Not surprising for an old man in the 90s.
