I also feel Copilot is not getting the attention it should considering its user base and its importance in the enterprise context. There is a lot to be learned and I found https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49256057 (mitm

This would require data centre cap-ex north of 1T and revenues from non AI companies in the same order of magnitude. Is it realistic to scale up data centre roll-outs? Are regular companies ready to re-allocate 1T? And this all happens in a

It may be worth getting checked out for fructose malabsorption. It means the main pathway for fructose absorption is not working and your gut only has less effective (and easily disrupted, looking at you Sorbitol) transport pathways with si

These waves where someone found a new way to focus on the valuable part and leave the grunt work to lowly others comes again and again. As always the truth remains that each step in the process is relatively trivial and is is the overall co

Propping up the yen may be more helpful for the US than if Japan hikes interest rates which is on the table (Google ’bring money home‘). The carry trade buying treasuries with debts incurred in yen has been a steady source for US funding. E

Tired seeing them is one thing the real problem is tired updating your software stack with a frequency the team & tooling was never designed to sustain. Worse: You are not tired enough to forget the real security issues that would need

Ultimately the market will balance demand and supply. From a strategic perspective big players want to get to a level playing field as soon as possible as then their market reach and capital wins the game. Pesky nimble small closed upstarts

AI seems to help with tasks that should have been simplified and have accidental complexity, at least that's how I read: AI usage outside of work appears particularly high for high-friction adminis- trative tasks. ATLAS data covers a b

If we are in the long run stabilising that would be already a win. Until the temperatures go down it will be a long, long, long time if ever. So temperatures will go up and we have to adjust. The scale of required adjustments is not underst

Reproducibly through measurements has a lot of value if you do not have a coach like the author for his mother. Yes a lot of recipes can be handed down but the space of recipes is so much larger. We don‘t need books as we can tell stories a
