A slack window the triage information for a degraded application is shown over ArgoCD in the background. The user responded with "Proceed with patch" and the Slack agent shows progress automatically patching the affected resources.

Thanks everyone who attended, it was a blast and I appreciate the great questions from the audience.

Here's me shooing away incidents directly from Slack thanks to Akuity Intelligence and AI powered runbooks.

Let application teams deploy a brand new app in 5 minutes? 😬

What if they were using templated, policy driven pipelines with full audit and approval capabilities?

Plus Slack notifications 😜

It's possible with @akuity.io - GitOps for the Enterprise

This 940-page reconciliation bill has a list of horrific provisions. One of the worst is a $211 billion tax break to the top 0.2% who inherit $30 million.

In this bill 16 million lose health care & hungry kids lose nutrition. Meanwhile, billionaires get much richer. Disgusting.

Over 100 first responders complete drill at PBG PLATTSBURGH | "Aircraft in distress" exercise supports emergency intraoperability.

Big thanks to all the districts and organizing agencies that participated. As a new firefighter I found the experience invaluable.

Anthropic's new AI model turns to blackmail when engineers try to take it offline | TechCrunch Anthropic says its Claude Opus 4 model frequently tries to blackmail software engineers when they try to take it offline.

Can everyone please watch 'I, Robot' again?

Unless we change something, this is how it ends..

Right

I can't even get a birthday cake into the next room. I call shenanigans

A portion of a medical form stating the applicant is clear to meet the requirements of class a firefighter.

Yay! The mind is willing and the body is able.

Have been accepted to join my local fire department and got a clean bill of health required to start contributing.

Cory Booker breaks record for longest speech by US senator in Trump condemnation In speech that began Monday night, Democratic senator warns of ‘grave and urgent’ danger of Trump administration * US politics – latest updates Cory Booker, the Democratic US senator from New Jersey, has broken the record for longest speech ever by a lone senator – beating the record first established by Strom Thurmond, who filibustered for 24 hours and 18 minutes in opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1957. Booker’s speech, which began at 7pm on Monday night, was not a filibuster but instead an effort to warn of what he called the “grave and urgent” danger that Donald Trump’s presidential administration poses to democracy and the American people.

Anthropic can now track the bizarre inner workings of a large language model What the firm found challenges some basic assumptions about how this technology really works.

"And yet if you then ask Claude how it worked that out, it will say something like: “I added the ones, then carry [...] resulting in 95.” In other words, it gives you a common approach found everywhere online rather than what it actually did. Yep! LLMs are weird. (And not to be trusted.)"

Yes. The pricing is based on the type and size of the 'executor' that runs the configured build steps. Could be a docker container, Linux/Windows/MacOS vm, or high powered GPU.

I'm surprised by this. Is it a public project I can peak at? We've run some pretty intensive benchmarking and consistently outperform our peers. I'd like to know what's different here.

The time travel involved in our super fast feedback can be tricky, there will be glitches.

Abstraction patterns like CircleCI's Orbs can help with this. [fin] #DevOpsDays

CircleCI build output showing a large ASCII art deprecation notice for eddiewebb/queue orb, and referencing new native features to serialize work.

A web page including the description and release notes for queue orb in CircleCI's orb registry.

6 years ago I wrote an orb to serialize work on @circleci.com

Last year it was used >10 Million times by >400 organizations and saw 35 contributors from major technology companies.

But most exciting? It's now unnecessary, replaced by native serialization!🎉

"It's ok, I'll eat food next month..."

Uzo Aduba is amazing, and surrounded by a great supporting cast. Highly recommend.

I need to come clean. The reason I'm not working today is that it's a quarterly wellness day we all get off.

The one exception to "never read the comments" may be @xkcd.com's posts.

This one broke me for a minute.

My sister and I don't talk much. But she puts molasses in her coffee, and I'm firmly in the maple syrup camp.

Modified @prometheus.io scrape jobs yesterday and successfully dropped disk use from 98% to 7% . That's why I'm not working today, it can only go downhill from here.

But he was hungry, it's ok.

I learned last week they make sellers at GitHub use issues for tracking deals and I'm still giggling about it.
