My talk at #kubeconeu25 was just released! It's called "Asimov's Zeroth Law of Robotics: Observability for AI”. I use OpenTelemetry, OpenLIT, OpenAI, @grafana , Prometheus, Tempo, Loki, and k6. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6EKTCAWtn8
I was super nervous about this one because when I sent the abstract in for the talk, I had never created an AI app, much less instrumented it. So this talk is more like the story of how I learned how to do all that than an expert's guide to doing it right.
#TIL that “the bitter end” may be a nautical term meaning the end of an anchor rope (the bitter), all played out, nothing left to give.
Or it might not mean that. It seems there’s some debate on this. ️
#TIL: Vielleicht bin ich ja der letzte der davon erfahren hat, aber #mastodon hat auch #html Meta Tag(s) für die author Darstellung.

#TIL
In #Korea ist der Aberglaube verbreitet, dass man sterben kann, wenn man beim Schlafen einen #Ventilator laufen lässt.
#TIL that it's not sufficient just to load all the clothes into it, close the front hatch, pour the washing liquid & white vinegar into their respective drawer slots, turn on the hot & cold taps at the wall, & the powerpoint, & select the wash cycle.
Today I learned about the term "tactical urbanism," which is kinda an umbrella term and kinda a more nebulous term for several things I was already more familiar with, including guerrilla gardening, depaving, de-fencing, and park(ing) day.
**Bluesky users**
#TIL: There's a service that shows info such as users blocking you (a #Bluesky user), users you block, lists you're on, block lists you're on, starter packs you're in.
E.g., I'm not (yet) on any block list; 27 Bluesky users have blocked me; and I'm in two starter packs.
Knowing which users have blocked me does not at all bother me, but I don't know if everyone else is similarly indifferent about that.

In the most recent podcast, No Such Thing As A Fish, Anna's fact was about the pouched rat...sniffs out TB & land mines, consequently saving many many lives...check it out:
TIL that soaked chickpeas smell so bad because they release the amines putrescine and cadaverine into the water! That sounds bad, but they are natural plant compounds involved in growth. They just smell bad and chickpeas have a lot of them. #TIL #chickpeas
#TIL Mein Bart-Trimmer hat einen eingebauten Bleichmechanismus. Meine dunkelblonden, teils kupferbraunen, abrasierten Haare kommen aus dem Auffangbehälter weiß heraus. Kann ich das wieder abstellen?

Windows is reinstating Recall,
Snapshots of screen saved every 3 seconds and fed to AI.
Previously introduced in May, 2024 to some backlash.
(...)"a gold mine for malicious insiders, criminals, or nation-state spies if they managed to gain even brief administrative access to a Windows device."
(...)"nothing stopping Recall from preserving sensitive disappearing content sent through privacy-protecting messengers such as Signal."
(...)"Windows 11 Build 26100.3902 preview version. Over time, the feature will be rolled out more broadly."
(...)"That would indiscriminately hoover up all kinds of User A's sensitive material, including photos, passwords, medical conditions, and encrypted videos and messages."
(...)"That level of detailed archival material will undoubtedly be subject to subpoena by lawyers and governments."
etc. etc.
Yeah...
