Orgs are laying people off "because of AI" and I (and the entire industry) need to talk about how insane all of this is.
I build AI tools. I like AI. This isn't an anti-AI rant. This is an anti-stupidity rant.
Buckle up. Spicy takes galore!

Trade-secret of the day: add this MCP server and ask anything about Internet traffic trend or routing. It's unbelievably powerful.
Do you use the Radar MCP server? It now exposes normalization parameters, so you can compare HTTP traffic data using MIN0_MAX or PERCENTAGE normalization.
Learn more about the Radar MCP server at github.com/cloudflare/mcp-se…

Now that we know that the mass of each Kuiper sat is ~571 kg (just so happens to have a similar mass to Starlink v2 mini-optimize), we can compare launch costs.
Back-of-napkin launch costs:
• Starlink per sat deploy: $536K (ish)
• Kuiper per sat deploy: $2.4M (ish)

Oops, we did it again 🤗
Three years ago, we shook up the networking space with the release of a freely available SR Linux container image. This was a catalyst for many great community projects, such as Containerlab, gNMIc, and many others.
Today, we are announcing the availability of an ARM64 version* of the SR Linux container image 🎉
Free, public, ARM64 native.
* - preview version.
With ARM64 version of our container image, you can finally make your expensive typing machines with a fruit logo to do some actual work by running a networking lab.
There are so many things to I wanted to explain and show you, so I went and recorded a 40 minutes deep dive on the topics of
- Who can be interested in running labs on ARM64 arch?
- What challenges are ahead of us when ARM64 is the target architecture?
- What Network OSes can you run on it?
- How docker runs on macOS?
- What tools would I recommend using?
- And how I run containerlabs on macOS.
You will find a link to the YT video in the comments.
If you are in or adjacent to networking, this might be quite an entertaining show and hopefully this would make netorking labs even more accessible to the community 🚀

It occurred to me earlier that either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump will open the next Summer Olympics. Choose wisely America.
