No, I’m saying that MS have different terms for their business and personal offerings (as do OpenAI and Anthropic). To be fair to them, MS are quite open about accuracy for the business offerings, see here as one example: https:/&#x2F

As far as I can tell, this is only for the free personal plan, not any of the business offerings (ie not Copilot for M365) and Github Copilot is under a separate set of terms. “These Terms don’t apply to Microsoft 365 Copilot apps or servic

Any plans to make it available to other languages via bindings?

I feel a bit sad since I hadn't heard of Gel Data until today, but it's too late... seems like they had some interesting stuff in progress.

This is super interesting - aside from the benchmarks are there any good examples of loading and querying data from external sources? Any plans to support other formats like parquet?

I hear you on the opportunity side and I can't see that changing. The good news is in recent releases there's a lot less boilerplate - "dotnet new console -lang F#" results in two files, a short fsproj file and a single

The Interlisp VM sounds awesome - I would love to see Notecards on Windows/Linux/Mac natively!

This is an impressive achievement, given there’s a whole language plus IDE. Kudos to the author. I couldn’t see any indication of what the author plans to use it for - I hope he can share more below? I’m intrigued by the LeanQt library as

I would start with a business case - what are the benefits, is it going to generate revenue or reduce costs, when do the benefits start to be realised. Then look at the cost in starting to develop what you need, and how you’re going to get

FWIW, I started programming F# during your tenure at MS and in a couple of years it became a really capable cross platform option - partly MS, partly community, but definitely helped out by you. Thanks!

Starting with F# on Mac is worlds away from what it was in the past, I bet you could be up and running in 5 minutes: brew install dotnet-sdk dotnet new console -lang F# (in your project directory) Start VS Code in that directory, i

This was me - my first .net language was F# (although I'd dabbled a tiny bit in C#); it was hard to learn the .net standard library as well as trying to learn functional idioms...

Very interesting - thanks! It's an interesting exercise thinking through some of the constraints and some of the engineering tradeoffs. Out of interest, how much development is actually done on device vs being done on another system

As a thought experiment, this got me thinking what would a solution just using .NET core look like? Obviously I don't have all the details but I think you can do all of those things in .NET (with the exception of the embedded stuff pr

I really like Azure Container Apps for this. It's a great way to dip into the world of containers.

Yes, you're right - I'm not from the US, but I think it's the classic example...

It's a diaeresis symbol rather than an umlaut, used (infrequently) to show that it's pronounced co-or rather than coor. Quite archaic, unless you're the New York Times, who use it as part of their house style, but not wrong!

Of course, Teams uses SharePoint for file storage, so it’s basically the same thing for Microsoft, build on the things you have already.

I used to use Visual Studio and VSMac for my F# experimentation. Over the past couple of years, Ionide has got so much better that I've switched completely over to it from VS for all my F# work. The new 7.0 release a couple of days ag

I was in a similar position when I started learning F# - I'd say start with F#, but you will likely need to be able to read through some of the C# examples to work out how to do common things that rely on the .NET standard library if y
