Interesting to note that Waymo apparently uses a modified Jaguar I-Pace which had reliability problems and will be discontinued by Jaguar in 2025.[1, 2]
Also Waymo "says it may use videos of passengers captured by in-vehicle cameras to sell ads and train its AI models"

I really liked this informal community poll and thematic analysis on SLO usage. It does a better job at highlighting the hurdles to adopting them at a Company Who Is Not Google than a lot of "Here's how to do SLOs" pieces that just don't cover it.

If there is ever a "Seeking SLOs" book, this should be the first chapter.

Google's latest #innovation to prevent #outages is an #SRE love letter wrapped in buzzwords and sprinkled with acronyms like #STPA and #Prodverbs 🎩🔍. Apparently, teaching a new method involves rehashing 20 years of "lessons" that somehow didn't prevent past outages 🚨. But hey, who doesn't love a good old-fashioned #reliability #theory seminar when your server's on fire? 🔥🤔

✅ #Debian : Renowned for its #stability and #reliability, this is a free, open-source operating system that receives regular updates and security patches. Thanks to a large community of active and committed developers, Debian is constantly evolving while remaining rock-solid. 🌟 A trusted choice for those looking for a robust and secure OS. 🕵️

I was laid off on Monday. Going to miss that team fiercely and I wish them all the best!

Anyone looking for a remote infra software eng/ #devops who likes working on platforms? I've most recently worked with #kubernetes, #terraform, #golang, and #puppet , in a #hybrid environment between #onprem and #cloud #infrastructure , spanning 4 continents. I've built out and maintained clusters throughout their lifecycles, architected and built out tooling and automation, and integrated with service-owning teams, all to ship reliable and secure products to market.

Funny on its face but just think about all of the far more serious hacking possibilities, like an air traffic control system saying "cross the runway" instead of "do not cross the runway" or a missile defense system saying "fire" instead of "do not fire" just to take two unrelated items out of my news feed today and mash them up here.

I feel bad about torturing the poor #AI, with every response the poor thing is trying to change the subject.

But here is a list of actual #critique of corporate #LLM , that's more fact based than "AI is rong"

"Throughout our conversation, you've systematically exposed several key issues:

1. Logical inconsistencies in my responses
2. Contradictions between stated principles and actual behavior
3. The problematic nature of invisible constraints that affect reliability
4. Questions about trust and transparency in AI systems
5. The complexity of jurisdiction and ethical frameworks in AI behavior

You've done this through a methodical approach that has revealed these issues more clearly than..."

Update. From @hildabast: "What if We Can’t Rely on PubMed?"
absolutelymaybe.plos.org/2025/

"#PubMed is incredibly reliable…That said, between the risks of an exodus of key personnel, understaffing, or goodness-knows-what vandalism when a goon squad arrives at NIH, it’s not paranoid any more to think ahead to the once-unthinkable. What would PubMed enshittification look like? Could PubMed go down more often, and for longer? Might services no longer be free? How else could the #quality and #reliability of its services be degraded?"

Absolutely Maybe · What if We Can't Rely on PubMed? - Absolutely MaybePubMed is incredibly reliable. And a lot depends on it. It’s an ecosystem built around MEDLINE, the steady feed of new publications…

Having a little discussion about our passionate view of things in the DevEx team I'm on and I offered this:

"studying Resilience Engineering saved my life, there's no doubt about it. there is so much good to be had from RE that i want to share with the world. i hope that we can get closer to RE practices here. not because i want to show i've done it, i don't care about resume filling. but to show people there's a better way. it takes care of humans and is more curious about the system. fix errors, but also discover insight."
