Amazing! I keep banging on about how Microsoft is building the business lock-in of the next decade, and this is a sign of it. Put down your snubs about Clippy and frothing about "EEE" and look at that announcement: > " Business Chat works across the LLM, the Microsoft 365 apps, and your data — your calendar, emails, chats, documents, meetings and contacts — to do things you’ve never been able to do before. You can gi…

Curious how well this works if Teams has a short window for chat retention - if it still has learned from them and keeps the information but puts it out of reach of discovery that would be kind of amazing.

I consider the MS Language Servers pretty much the most important bit of vscodes IDE functionality as it provides autocompletion, lookup, refactoring etc, which is the feature i was specifically thinking of here. They were originally all open source, but aren't anymore. they're still free (as in beer), but their licence only allows usage with the official visual studio code distribution

The thing is that those extensions are Microsoft's, and as problematic as some people consider the situation to be, Microsoft has all the right to limit the licence for these extensions. The inconvenient answer: want another C# extension? Tough luck, write it yourself. This is essentially what LLVM did for C/C++ linting, and produced Clangd, and many people now consider it to be superior to the Microsoft C/C++ linter…

Mono C# used LLVM but Microsoft thought their language services were better, so mono LLVM is EOL.

A couple of years ago I was on a walk with my wife and she asked me “what’s the point of Siri? it can hardly do anything useful outside weather and timers.” I told her a tall tale of how these things are essentially going to become our personal assistants in the future, they’ll know about our unique situations and can act accordingly. Just like the rich and powerful have people who specialise in organising their live…

Well, your gf may ask you again about the usefulness of the tools that are being released now in 5-10 years from now...

EVERY professional athlete is juicing. Most of them just don't get caught.

Is Steph Curry juicing? If so how so? EPO? It's not going to make you shoot better. All pro golfers?

> It's not going to make you shoot better.

Nor do the muscles (from the point where you are strong enough so the ball can reach the basket), and yet you will not see a basketball players that is not muscular.

PEDs allow you to gain muscles faster and have greater stamina, all of which is beneficial.

> All pro golfers?

Of course I was talking mainly about sports where physical performance matters. Although PEDs exists even in e-sport (Adderall).
