This was the talk from #PyConAU that made me go "this is my takeaway talk for the entire conference that I'm sending to all my on-call friends". Who knew you could draw so many parallels between on-call and training ponies?

Getting an IPv6-only network is tough. Too many things rely on IPv4, especially P2P applications. I'd love it if more of the internet was on IPv6 so I don't have to deal with this mess.

The airport bathrooms at MEL are really snazzy! Part of me can't help but think the UX might be better if the soap dispenser wasn't between the tap and the dryer though.

Photo of a bathroom sink at Melbourne Airport. David can be seen in the mirror, holding up a phone to take a photo. There are light bars along the left and right sides of the mirror. At the bottom of the mirror there are three illuminated labels, each with icons below, from left to right: Water 💧, Soap 🫧, Dry (vertical heat waves). The tap, soap dispenser and dryer are out of view.

Wow, during the last half hour of me reading up about the xz backdoor, the GitHub repo has disappeared. It looks like the git repo was mirrored in a few places though; I see repo.or.cz/w/xz.git appears to be a valid mirror.

I don’t think it can be emphasized enough that large language models were never intended to do math or know facts; literally all they do is attempt to sound like the text they’re given, which may or may not include math or facts. They don’t do logic or fact checking — they’re just not built for that
