There’s probably a reason I logged on early, and it wasn’t so you could call me for a ‘quick catchup’.

Apropos of nothing, stop putting your fucking CMKs in Key Vault, ya maniacs.

I have 384TB of ECC DDR4 across two blades with 4 CPUs for a combined core count of 96.It powers a fully populated 192 disk solid state SAN.I was told it was old and in need of replacing, but apparently now it’s worth more than the GDP of the UK.Can’t afford to run it (or hear my thoughts when in the vicinity)… but I can sit atop it like a fucking dragon.And I will.

I will exhaust every last one of these SATA SSDs before I pay a penny more per gigabyte than I would have 2 years ago.

I am LOVING seeing so many AI projects being paused or binned.There’s one silver lining in the mass layoffs, they can’t lay off their absurd investment in power, cooling, and hardware. Loss adjusters and liquidators are rubbing their hands with glee.Also, many silicon spinners are demanding 5 year agreements on production. It’s go big or go home time, and there will be some casualties.One org I reluctantly work with pivoted their entire operating model to AI and agents, and they royally screwed their staff over.They’re now hiring them as consultants at twice their original salary as everything fell on it’s arse, and who knew that go to market suits with a prompt can’t keep infrastructure or business running. Hilariously I know one engineer negotiated a one-sided 12 month contract notice period. These people are going to get desperate, fast. Fetch the s’mores and let em roast.

Love getting flagged by an AI service for using AI to plagiarise coursework.They quote a reference on a AI slop outlet site which scraped the content from another source.That source was…. Meeeeeeee Currently arguing with their submissions team.

Another related issue, but not AI as such, but I’m being marked down on elements of my work that too closely align to Government policy and legislation.Of which I’m an unnamed direct contributor and reviewer.Life as a mature student. 😭

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@samhenrigold/116216357692725093The MacBook Neo is an important, landmark device. You just don’t know it yet. I say this as someone for whom the sheen of Apple has worn off, and I’ll look to move to different, open hardware in the coming years.A good read from Sam.

@older @Pibert @mntmn The problem is that the NMT device is twice the price for 28% of the performance of the Neo. Even with less RAM it still has faster memory and storage, better cache, better bandwidth and IO, better graphics performance, better screen, keyboard, touchpad, and better battery life.That’s a really hard sell to even the keenest tinkerer.I can see it being the hot new Linux machine with a large enough user base. Fingers crossed.

Ok this is interesting. The desktop app has no such restrictions, only mobile.

I’ve just witnessed a horrific LinkedIn trend in person.There’s an increasing contingent of cultists saying:“We should refer to the field of IT as ‘AI’ because that’s what the future is”I’m not sure what podcast they heard it on, but some guy just said to me:“You work in AI, don’t you?”Um… no? Security and IT“Yeah, AI”This person made a choice to attend a major tech conference and be this stupid.Stop the planet, I’m disembarking.
