I’m back to (recreationally) writing while figuring out what’s next. First looking what’s happening with the modern data/MLOps stack. With the flurry of M&A (and M&A talks), the long-coming and frequent joke that the MDS consolidation may have finally arrived! www.supervised.news/p/whats-next...
What's next for Supervised
I've made the extremely difficult decision to end my full-time job with the newsletter, which will shift to more of a hobby. Plus, is the thinning out in the modern data stack finally here?

The UNC-BC game, an almost inconsequential game (that we are going to inevitably lose because that's how this season is going), is being shown on the CW and there is a SALESFORCE COMMERCIAL.

When working with local models I've always found they act a little more loose and fun when you put the condition on it that the floor is lava. No idea why but goes in every one of my system messages.

I’m not sure how Spotify went from a music streaming app to one where I have to deal with at least 2 pop-ups the second I open it that makes it overly difficult to listen to my preferred playlists.

I feel like it’s on brand for the Apple weather app to say it’s supposed to clear out by noon only for it to start raining harder than it has all day and is like “whoops my bad it’ll clear out at 2 now”

I love how the two GOTY front runners this year are like an engrossing outstanding Game of Thrones-like narrative RPG and a platfotmrr that’s like “well what if we made them a giant sponge for this level”

I feel like Astro Bot pulls off the same trick the Lego Movie did back in 2014. Total destruction of the source material born out of deep love for its roots that serves as a base for a constant blitz of moments of unhinged creative genius that evoke so much joy it’s impossible to look away.
