We run and build our own messaging platform (control plane and more) in house to act as the backbone for all of Reddit. This is a software eng (not ops) role. Message me if interested or have a referral!

Nice demo of the new Tailscale-based feature in LM Studio. Sure you can go through a bunch of hassle to wire everything up yourself, but now you don't have to
LM Studio emailed me yesterday and invited me to test this — I've been using Wireguard and llama.cpp to run large models on my studio workstations, from anywhere.
(I run a few *local* LLMs to help with MicroPython, debugging PTP, that sort of thing...)
I'm attaching a video showing LM Studio running on my low-spec Mac mini at home, using a large model running on a Dell GB10 at the studio. Also tested it running through my Mac Studio at the studio.
They use Tailscale on the backend, but it's separate from Tailscale (managed through LM Studio)—works well, but I still prefer llama.cpp since it's open source. The llama.cpp Web GUI makes it easy enough (for me) to use on the road via VPN, through a browser.
I haven't really messed with LM Studio or vLLM before, but I can see the appeal, especially if you link LLMs to external tools (I don't, at least not at this time).
The Tour says it’s “the ultimate competition.”
But suspending a past winner over content — not performance — undermines that claim. The Tour should focus on assembling the strongest fields possible.
Great catching up with @thenewstack on how VCF is rapidly changing. More to come this year!
Has @VMware Finally Caught Up With Kubernetes? | By @BCameronGain, thanks to @VMWare. Feat. @TorstenVolk

We should be better about letting folks know how much the community means to us. Our booth at KubeCon might not be the most flashy, but we surely try to do our part chopping wood and carrying water.
Interesting stat 👇
@VMware is the 4th largest contributor to the Kubernetes code base.
In an analyst briefing, I was pushing back on VMware's approach to open-source, and they countered with this datapoint.
Good counter!

Quincy Jones was a trailblazer.
As a composer, arranger, record and movie producer, he created art that brought joy to millions of people. As an activist, Quincy championed civil and human rights. As a role model, he offered inspiration and mentorship, in particular for young people of color in the music industry.
I was honored to call Quincy a friend, and I will always remember his generosity of spirit, his selfless support, and his deep kindness.
Doug and I are praying for the Jones family and all those who loved him.
ALT Vice President Harris and Quincy Jones sit together having a conversation.

John Mozeliak takes a lot of hate from #STLCards fans, but getting Fedde and Pham while giving up only Tommy Edman in this three team deal is remarkable.
Cap tip to John Mozeliak - hamstrung by budget he upgrades the outfield and starting rotation for a player who is likely great but doesn't have current spot on the team. (also rehabbing the entire season) Great deal.
Farm Truck might be some of the best food I can remember at #stlcards games. The pork belly slider was 🔥
Yep. Free.
Here’s the big news: VMware Fusion Pro and Workstation Pro are both now available Free for Personal Use!
