For the first time ever, I had to make a payment in crypto.
I can now confidently say that crypto payments combine the speed of a dial up modem and the ease of updating the drivers on a 1998 HP Laserjet printer.

There’s a very surreal conversation I keep having on here where people seem unable to hold two ideas at the same time, and I’m not sure why. It’s simply true that the Big AI platforms like ChatGPT are:
1. Extremely bad for society, in many ways.
2. Very genuinely popular with lots of people.

If it works, you should be able to explain it in simple terms.

Swing by the @flox.dev booth today at 13:00 EST. @kelseyhightower.com, Flox Founder/CTO Michael Brantley and I will be talking about running our Flox Environments (powered by nix) in Kubernetes. Not just how, but why, and how conversations 8+ months ago got us to this point.

Kubernetes is the sum of all the shell scripts, and practices, system administrators have cobbled together over time, presented as a single system behind a declarative set of APIs.

I wonder how many airlines have offered to pay air traffic controller's salaries during the shutdown, which has to be cheaper than canceling flights or refunding tickets.
Yeah so they’re cutting flights at the 40 busiest airports starting with 4% on Friday and ramping up to 10% through the weekend, and that includes ATL. If you’re attending #KubeCon and you aren’t threat modeling around this and making contingency plans already, strongly recommend starting now
So, uh, KubeCon attendees: how we feeling about the threat model of them shutting down the airspace? Are we all moving to Atlanta

This event kicks off in about 30 mins. Here is one of the slides from the deck we will walk through today as we attempt to find a solution to the cross config problem, which requires us to build configuration consensus across multiple tools.

I've asked the team behind Cue to come prepared to discuss the limits of configuration management when dealing with different configuration systems, for example, using Terraform, Kubernetes, and GitHub Actions to manage a single project, something that occurs more often than you would think.
Final call! 📣
Join us with @kelseyhightower.com tomorrow, Tuesday, Nov 4, at 17:00 UTC to explore the future of configuration with our Configuration Control Plane, and turn configuration from a source of risk into a source of reliability!

I don't buy the AI narrative around prosperity for all. There is plenty of money to go around yet it tends to flow to the top. I can't imagine a world where those in control of AI, assuming it actually works, will resist charging an ever increasing subscription fee cementing the haves and have nots.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
