My co-worker @TimmyCarbone deployed an astro website the day after the #AstroTogether meetup. I wonder what convinced him. Is it the drinks or the tech? Both of course.

[Timothy Carbone @TimmyCarbone]

@thomlbvr Let's say the meetup was a great cocktail 😏

[Timothy Carbone @TimmyCarbone]

@thomlbvr I'm the opposite of bread. I need to rest 8 to 12h after cooking.

@thomlbvr Can Devin name files and variables?

That's the real Turing test.

[Timothy Carbone @TimmyCarbone]

@thomlbvr It's not buggy software, the software is just in Alpha.

@OliverJAsh Cheese and onion? Damn.

Good guy Google actually preventing a disaster 😂

[Timothy Carbone @TimmyCarbone]

@GangMan_ Thanks for letting me know!

I haven't touched it in a while but I'll look into it this week!

Not verified is the new verified.

This wave of ML advances feels different than all others before it. Usually, lots of people sleep on it or just pay lip service to ML.

This time, people are rushing to ship ML products, and successfully doing so at breakneck speed.

I wrote up a detailed guide to some of the absolutely wild examples of Bing's new AI-assisted search feature that have started to circulate:

Bing: "I will not harm you unless you harm me first" (that's genuinely something it said to someone)

Google Analytics is asking everyone to switch to their new tag.

The old analytics.js tag: ~20 KB gzipped
The new gtag.js tag: ~80 KB gzipped

WTF Google?

[Timothy Carbone @TimmyCarbone]

Great read on AI progress and ethics in Big Tech.

ChatGPT isn't a technological revolution in itself but by unleashing it to the public, OpenAI signals to Big Tech like Google and Meta that it's time. Time to take the next leap.

@bfirsh @nutlope @lukechesser @unsplash That model is not only probably the best I've encountered but the API delivery through Replicate is also really easy to work with.

This whole execution is really neat.👌

[Luke Chesser @lukechesser]

Discovered this model used by Hassan around noon. Messaged @TimmyCarbone on the @unsplash slack. 2 hours later it's live on https://t.co/Gazk6GsD31 replacing Azure's text to image model

[Timothy Carbone @TimmyCarbone]

@phil_eaton Been using it for 6+ years. I find it fantastic.

It's one of the few tools that I would pick again with my eyes closed if I had to build a brand new architecture.

Favourite features: custom contexts, data validation (before it enters storage) and replayable events.

[Timothy Carbone @TimmyCarbone]

@swaty_rao @sarahcat21 Yup, it works for us. I think the industry has too high expectations for these tools.

Also, like any other tool, it's not a universal solution and it will fit some companies and not others. I don't get why we need a "great or trash" consensus on everything.

[Timothy Carbone @TimmyCarbone]

@Kuzeko @sagi_tomer @sarahcat21 Looker and Tableau for example.

@sethrosen I call it a day.

"... ah f**k, that was prod..."

[Atlassian @Atlassian]

Update on cloud outage impacting ~400 customers. As part of scheduled maintenance our team ran a script to delete legacy data from a deprecated service. Instead of deleting the data the script erroneously deleted sites, and connected products, users, and 3rd party apps. (1/5)

[Timothy Carbone @TimmyCarbone]

@sethrosen Not a stack until it's called MODERN.

With the millions of services we have now, we can probably find a way to make the acronym work.
