Made the cover of @CACMmag with "A Decade of Docker Containers", recapping much systems work! Docker grew so fast in those early days that we never got a chance to write an academic paper about it, so this writeup has been a long time coming: cacm.acm.org/research/a-dec….

A heady mix of Go, OCaml, Swift, Linux, nested kernels, ancient network protocols like SLIRP, all mixed up into a container cauldron...

The article also comes with cool art and a video interview that was a lot of fun to film around @pembroke1347 and my overgrown office. I left some musings on my blog too anil.recoil.org/notes/cacm-doc… with @mugofsoup and @justincormack

This is a really balanced conversation, and bonus appearance of Eliza, the world's stupidest AI, if you want to feel old

I got to host a great panel on AI timelines: @DKokotajlo, @EgeErdil2, @Jsevillamol, and @RyanGreenblatt. It was an interesting event, a kind of follow-up to the old FOOM debate we hosted 15 years ago!

I wish every funding agency would do this: separate funding decisions from grant review, and republish fundable projects that didn't quite make the funding cut. I have spent SO much time resubmitting academic grant proposals over the years that were essentially unmodified!

We saw more outstanding projects than one challenge could support – the top proposals have already been through a rigorous review and are ready to fund, so we're now working to bring in additional funders to back them.

Congratulations to all recipients – meet them here: blog.google/company-news/o…

Interested in funding similar projects? Get in touch at info@renphil.org.

I gave @superlogical's Rex a quick spin when I got into the beta last week, and it's become my daily driver for *all* my terminals. Rex has cool a notification system so you know when a remote pty is waiting for input or has completed, and you can name/group sessions logically
