@AnthropicAI why is Claude so fucking stupid!

I see a lot of confusion around the boundary between AI Agents and Intelligent Automations. I’ve been chatting about this with colleagues and the best way I can summarize it: - AI Agents are Goal Oriented - Intelligent Automations are Task Oriented

Siri + ChatGPT + Kubernetes = the unholy trinity of DevOps productivity. Should you? No. Can you? Absolutely.

@ChipotleTweets what’s up with this limited time nonsense? Chicken Al Pastor deserves a permanent spot on the menu. I beg of you, please make it happen!

@generalelectric serious question. What’s the point of a Wi-Fi connected oven if you have to remember to enable remote functionality before you leave home?

A resort in Mexico offering VR escape from reality is the most dystopian thing I’ve ever seen.

Be careful staying with @Vidanta, you might be electrocuted trying to plug something into their outlets. And weirdly, when maintenance knew exactly where the problematic outlet was when the came to fix it šŸ¤”

Yo @flydotio! Pretty cool you offer hosted Postgres now. Not so cool that the system provisions a new Postgres cluster for your app even when you disable the feature 😬

@Chamberlain_Grp this is a really dumb decision. You should allow people use the products they own however they like. If some fraction of your users are creating ā€œDDOS eventsā€, then implement rate limiting. There is no need for such a hostile response. chamberlaingroup.com/press/a…

It’s hilarious how fast @GetSpectrum is willing to give out discounts when you let them know you’ve switched providers and are disconnecting service. So weird because their billing department gave me the cold shoulder last week. Bye! You won’t be missed.

I’m practicing intermittent napping this week to see how it goes. Wish me luck.

It’s 2023 and not a single streaming platform can remember what episode I’m on.

@awscloud It's closer to 68, but I respect the decision to round up under the circumstances.
Apple’s new M1 Ultra chip has 114 billion transistors. Humans are really bad at understanding big numbers so I like to compare things to rice. If you had 1 grain of rice for every 1000 transistors, you’d have ~16,285 lb of rice.

If you had a grain of rice for every 1000 transistors in the processor used in the Apollo guidance computer, you would have 17 grains of rice.
Home Depot is seriously the DMV of hardware stores.
