Hey @T5SydneyTrains noticed this loose window seal hanging down in a T5 carriage heading toward Blacktown. Might want to get maintenance to check it out before it gets worse!

@paulgauthier @paulgauthier This is awesome. Is it possible to use custom-imported models in AWS Bedrock in aider?

LLMs are so easy to train, but only if you have enough cash. Most people don't have that much cash, so they think there's something complex happening there. Altman and Amodei can talk any nonsense about AGI coming soon and people will trust because they don't have enough cash to see that emperor has no clothes.

And now Amazon too!!! Funny, i'm not qualified as senior software engineer, or AI engineer, or defensive tech engineer even tho I spent the last 15+ years working on exactly that (some of them are actually using my code). Ages ago I developed one of the first WAFs before Cloudflare was even a thing (evilsentinel, in php, it was crap but visionary), Google scans Android apps for malware every single day with my code ... Amazon is working with technologies I have a patent for ... but I'm not qualified I guess! LOL how freaking disconnected is the hiring process from reality?
