Just going to pop in with some news flashes and project updates.
Unless you live under a rock, you know that Trump went to war with Iran. Hey, at least he didn't do it unilaterally, he had Pete Hedgeseth in on it too.
This has had the effect of Iran lashing out against any US ally in the region within range of their missiles and drones, and that means Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and pretty much anywhere Americans have business interests or the American Government or Israel have allies.
Guess what some of those non-petroleum related business interests might be? Datacenters, that's what -- specifically those that house some of the most advanced technology in the world to-date - those that implement AWS, where it lives, on the ground. A fucking Iranian missle hit a building and took out a big chunk of AWS. Think about that. You know who else has been affected?
Nvidia. Anthropic. And there's only been a few salvos launched; these are just threats to do much more.
Gemini, interestingly has been unaffected so far, google has done a very effective job of keeping their workflows out of zones of contention.
The work goes on. GMD was pushed to github, v1.0GA. To quote an old friend, "it's fucking brill... ...dunno if I mentioned it, but I've been re-comissioned to support and develop what I'm now calling 'silo', with a 'document silo' being implied.
That's going to be fun and a little lucrative. At least it'll pay for the gemini sub.
Stay chill, stay loose, and stay free.
