I assumed that would probably be the case but I don’t pay much attention to the runner up cloud vendors ;)

I’d assume Anthropic’s revenues include those attributable to AWS’ sale of Claude models on Bedrock. In that case reported revenues are likely “double-dipped”: reported both by Amazon and by Anthropic.

Good job their whole vocation doesn’t revolve around the creation of correct and unambiguous text.

Imagine having less game than a fucking AI *and* thinking this would work as a tactic. Give me strength.

“Chatfished” is an excellent word for it though.

I assumed that was the Guinness. Thanks for reminding them I/we exist - turns out you have to keep doing that repeatedly as part of maintaining a partner relationship 😅

Seems pretty wild they wouldn’t just, I dunno, drop you a line and see if you’re up for being listed there.

AWS were adding transfers to their hoodies last year, claiming of course that GenAI was somehow involved even though there were just a handful of designs to choose from. Gobshites.

Hard same. What I don’t understand is these people who’ll do that now as adults without checking the weather forecast.

If you’ve been using an abandoned version of aws-vault, why not take a look at this fork? It has a couple of new features, and is now the default in Homebrew. Drop a star on the GitHub project if you’re using it.

I'm excited to announce shortly after picking up aws-vault project, we already have new features from the #OpenSource community and released as v7.7 🚀:

* 1Password backend for secrets
* TouchID keystore support

It's great to see community collaboration and engagement!

Why are people such fucking idiots about football?

My 29 year old daughter introduced her boyfriend to me. On paper, he ticks a lot of boxes - well educated, good job, polite, treats her well, etc. But he's a Spurs fan so is destined to a life of misery and I don't want any grandkids to be like that.

I put other, more interesting and urgent things on my todo list. Tactical procrastination leads me to deal with the boring thing for some fucking reason. I don’t question the mechanism any more.

Happy to hear music news. Zero interest in news about sport. Less than zero interest in hearing the BBC’s ongoing anti-immigration nonsense.

Honestly quite surprised at the extent to which this makes me want to strange a horse - which I have so far failed to do.

Take the clown statue and get out! WE DON'T HAVE ANY KIDS!!! @brainmage.bsky.social · 20d

BEHOLD!

My first ever choose-your-own-adventure game!

"i will strangle a horse" - over seven and a half thousand words of absolute nonsense, as you help Martin Jenkins on his first day at The Farm.
