- Private work.
- Reddit looking to IPO as early as next quarter. No live deals on EZ. Don’t think I’d want to anyway – they lost a lot with the API monetization / apollo / etc.
- Got christmas tree! Only $250 for a 7′ in manhattan.
- Updated butcherbox items, changed bill date.
- Amazon buying iRobot (roombas) for 1.7B.
- Lots of mealprep, coffee, hibiscus brew, liver, powders, oat milk, more.
- Remember for general AWS support (even if you don’t have a support plan, which technically means you can’t get support) – create a general case, then “contact us” (instead of “solve now”), then chat with representative. It will file under General Question – Account.
- The cheapest is the dev support plan, which starts at $29/mo.
- Got Eddie’s registry gift.
- Submitted the instacart fraud form. If they don’t resolve by thursday, I’ll dispute with citi.
- Drycleaned the goat off my peacoat.
- Chatgpt and copilot both throttled quite a bit. Inaccessible for large-ish periods of time.
- Garden maintenance.
- AWS re:Invent.
- Can watch live on https://reinvent.awsevents.com, or stream after on their youtube channel
aws events https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2yQDdvlhXf-5R7VtNr9P4nosA7DiDtM1.
- Actual looks like they’ll post everything: separate playlists for keynotes, innovation talks, and breakout sessions.
- Watched Desantis’ monday night.
- Grover is the system behind aurora. All db logs get written to grover.
- Nitro is the hypervisor behind aurora serverless? Caspian is related.
- New: limitless db. In aurora. Single endpoint, it will handle all the sharding behind the scenes.
- New: serverless elasticache! Uses all the backend infra that aurora does.
- ML-powered query resource prediction in redshift.
- 6x better error correction in quantum computing chips.
- Updated docker desktop 4.25.2.
- Updated ios 16.6.1 -> 17.1.1.
- Facetime voicemails (video!)
- NameDrop.
- Next imessage interface, better layout for text vs all attachments (gifs, photos, whatever).
- AWS cost optimization.
- Played with Cost Optimization Hub and Computer Optimizer.
- Shows if you’re underprovisioned, overprovisioned, or rightsized. Covers compute, storage, mem, everything. Mostly EC2, ECS, lambda, and EBS.
- Makes suggestions for reservations to reduce costs. Shows utilization of RIs, etc.
- Supercontest.
- I didn’t really migrate to AWS until Oct 22, basically for the 2022-2023 season. And then it was only EC2 and some light peripherals. And then the full atomization/migration started in July 23 (to present).
- Created aws support case for the pinpoint bullshit: https://support.console.aws.amazon.com/support/home?region=us-east-1#/case/?displayId=170118848901975&language=en.
- General servicedesk forwarded it onto the pinpoint team with urgency.
- Vegas.
- Updated banner.
- Quick note on elasticache: I chose this over dynamodb for perf. Redis is just faster. Don’t need querying capability or peripheral features.
