Well done McLaren! Lando and Oscar are such good teammates 🧡

Interesting that Copilot ends the respond to my request for a document generation of our chat with a website link that goes to..... skype.com Unsurprisingly, the page cannot be found. But, I was able to download the export document it linked within the response.

Love sprint race weekends! McLaren starting on rows 2 and 3 will make it interesting. Extremely happy for Lewis on pole 🏎️ I feel less bad about my hairpin turn ability after watching practice and sprint qualifying. If they can't do it well, I'm lowering my expectations for me... by a lot.

Outlook on my Mac locked up when I tried using Copilot built into Outlook. All I was doing was clicking around trying to find the option to pop the window out of Outlook.... and now, unresponsive. I feel like this should have been a unit test: User clicks each button in order and randomly.

I'm looking for my next thing, and I need to move fast. I have several years of experience in developer relations from startups to the enterprise, and I'm particularly skilled at distilling complex topics into something easily understood by newbies and non-technical folks alike, on stage or off. 1/3

I *really* miss my Velocloud SD-WAN device. It truly is magic. The speed and reliability of my unstable, non-wired internet connections were stellar. A series of 30+ power blips last night made my internet and network upset. I had to troubleshoot rather than be blissfully unaware of any issues.

Received credentials for a mainframe sandbox a few hours ago. The logon process so convoluted you'd think I've never logged into a server before based on how many questions I had to ask. I've asked if they regret giving me access already =) I think they've underestimated my power to break things!😆

Waking up and remembering the #AusGP brings a smile to my face (as long as I ignore Piastri's P9). Can't wait for this weekend!

Amanda Blevins @amandablev.bsky.social · 16/03/2025

Melbourne will always be my favorite race. Exciting start to the season! #AusGP

Well done Lando! Extremely unlucky Oscar. That pass on Hamilton was sinister tho!

Will Oscar get back into the points?

It must feel demoralizing to be lapped by the two McLarens like that.

Amanda Blevins @amandablev.bsky.social · 16/03/2025

Love seeing the McLarens out front

Lando sounds chill. So does Zak.

Amanda Blevins @amandablev.bsky.social · 16/03/2025

The McLarens and Max have walked away from everyone already!

Interesting choice to give the rookie drivers and Ocon warm inters.

What is this nonsense? I can't watch F1 FP3 unless I pay for an additional channel?

Amanda Blevins @amandablev.bsky.social · 14/03/2025

The top 5 drivers for FP1 in Melbourne are basically the same order as races at the end of last season.... Would be interesting if that's what Sunday looks like too!

Dealership is ordering: - Cameras - Harness for each camera - Door harness - Antenna lines Impressive that this is only 2 days of work. I think they'll have the entire Cayenne interior torn out! Videos would be neat. Panoramic roof and shade are working fine after recalibration with a new tester.

I'm all for not being a fan of dumb cars (Teslas). But it's not cool to be a-holes to the drivers. For decades people have run me off the road, tailgated, brake checked, yelled and flipped me off, vandalized my rides, and even spit on my car at stop lights all because I drive Porsches.

Representing McLaren F1 today with my Papaya. Can't wait for the season to start! Porsche of Colorado Springs hooked me up with a Papaya Macan loaner to keep the theme. 😁

Went through my cassette tapes this morning to find my high school band recordings.... Can't wait to get them converted to a hi-fi digital format and hear if we were as great as I remember 😆 Thanks @pjenkinslab.bsky.social for the motivation!

Love my 2022 Cayenne GTS, but it's pano roof and the console controls are cursed. First there was a wiring issue. Then the whole console failed. And yesterday the Cayenne forgot how to close the pano shade. Stopped by the best Porsche dealership on the planet (Colorado Springs) ..... 1/🧵

As ridiculous as this vehicle is, being stuck in the snow like this is not a Cybertruck problem. This is a having the wrong tires problem. Look at the tread pattern for the tires options of the Cybertruck - not designed for anything more than dry pavement and a little bit of rain.

What's this trend about ignoring good UX and just dropping in GenAI? I hope we (as an industry) stop this and go back to creating great human UX and augment with AI when desired by the end user.

Upgrading my NVIDIA SHIELD Experience to 9.2. Very impressive bug fix list. Hope it’s accurate! I’ve been experiencing a lot of those issues lately and was wondering if the hardware is aging out.

I have spent the last year learning as much as I can absorb about mainframe infrastructure and subsystems. Not only does this have a very high probability of failing, if it doesn’t completely fall over, their mainframe bills will be through the roof. Can’t optimize for cost at this pace.

You all realize what is going to happen with those very separate, very large datasets, yes? Next step training / fine tuning a model that correlates all this data + social media + commercial datasets.

My recliner repair ended in tragedy when first use broke the plastic axle cap. I was so mad at myself! Called the manufacturer to replace this one $0.10 part. They don’t provide it separately. Have an entire left assembly headed my way just so I can pull that part off and put it on my chair.

Amanda Blevins @amandablev.bsky.social · 01/02/2025

I’m stubbornly repairing my recliner with just the multipurpose tool I keep in my vehicle because I was too lazy to walk to the shop to get the proper tools. 2 more stuck bolts (they self tap into the metal!) before I can reassemble. Had to take a break for my back and to stop the bleeding.

Grateful for all the wildlife that made my day better: - coyote crossing in the morning - pronghorn grazing and napping all day - hawk surveilling the action Even the horses and goat loved hanging with the pronghorn and grazed as close as possible to them all day.

Nvidia claims they're called "NVIDIA" but even Wikipedia doesn't believe it.

A 2-axis graph of "how hard it is to capitalize the company's name correctly" and "how mad people get if you mess it up." VMware is in the top right.

Watching the Gemini 2.0 Flash Multimodal Live API demo on a Google Webinar right now. Their demo is just as frustrating as my use of existing Google and AI tech. It took three questions to get the model to tell the presenter "what was in the box".

I’m at a video game competition/conference with one of the kids. It is amazing. Lots of “weirdos” (in the best way) just being themselves. This is the America I want to live in. I want people to be able to not fit in and find their own way.
