    Latency seems higher, much higher sometimes, and variable. I need to complete the LAN cable runs I started long ago :-)

    When I first saw Claude generating PPT decks by writing Python code instead of making the XML directly, it was sort of an "aha moment" for me. This seems to be the path for many th…

    This isn't sustainable. Arguably margins were too low is some parts of semiconductor space, but we still need lower cost per transistor over time or were in trouble.

    I've taken to buying SACDs when possible. The format supports higher dynamic range, but that barely matters. The mix is the bigger issue and SACD mixes are often better. Note you n…

    SharePoint/ OneDrive suck, but this policy change seems sane. What's crazy if anything is that they didn't have this policy before.

    Teams is an 8 year old product and well. Something to think about.

    MS rushed this to production, sure they call it a beta feature but it's clear it was super rushed. They're desperate to be relevant.

    Copilot Cowork seems to be the best part of M365 Copilot by a huge margin.

    I doubt an LLM is calculating withholding. I presume 99.9% of the actual logic will still execute in QuickBooks or Paychex etc. Lots of this sounds like cross system orchestration …

    IDK your S3 data may be fine, they're still incurring the cost to store it on those drives - even if they're buried in rubble /s

    I work at a less innovative place, and I see out product managers coming with prototypes, at least solid mock ups rather than just a jira. They socialize it with potential users, t…

    I hope the aviators are OK, and also hope whoever they were bombing are also OK. I do wonder if Iran finds them first, will they treat them better than the US treated survivors of …

    My comment history here is full of complaints about MS Teams, the chat app. It suffers from the "re-use every existing MS tech" problem. Building it on top of SharePoint I'm pretty…

    M365 Copilot is neither useful nor entertaining then.

    Missing in discussion is that the loss of mideastern oil is being offset by releases from strategic reserves. But those will end, creating even more shortages.

    Microsoft 365 Copilot has enabled Claude models, and I imagine they want that running on Azure?
