> Microsoft will no longer pay a revenue share to OpenAI.

I feel this looks like a nice thing to have given they remain the primary cloud provider. If Azure improves it's overall quality then I don't see why this ends up as a money printing press as long as OpenAI brings good models?

I'm confused as to what will happen to their platform product which was in closed beta - pyx. Since they no longer need to worry about money (I assume) they no longer need to chase after enterprise customers?
I'm confused at the business model - if the risk introduced to the employees outweigh the benefits of the model. The instant maid business in India is currently at the phase where VC money is being pumped across.

If we're to learn from other gig economies that have mostly matured, could conclude that for better of worse this model is here to stay, and might even end up dominating over the current model of direct employments.

For a moment I assumed the output would look like Perry the Platipus from the Disney (I think?) show. It's suprising to me (as a layman) that a show with lots of media that would've made it to the training corpus didn't show up.

I find gemini to be the best at travel planning and for story telling of geographical places. For a road trip, I tried all three mainstream providers and I liked Gemini (also personal preference because Gemini took a verbose approach instead of bullet points from others) for it's responses, ways it discovered stories about places I wanted to explore, places it suggested for me and things it gave me to consider those places in the route.

I couldn't find any references of Composer 2.0 anywhere. When did that come out?

Used to be the poster child of neobanking in India, founded by the folks who created Google Tez (later rebranded to Google Pay in India). Had high expectations but looks like the industry isn't worth the effort?

Re:Ubuntu 22.04 LTS servers and phased apt updates on Sunday January 15, 2023 @10:36AM (#34390125)
True. I wondered the same for the canaries. But they did mention why they didn't want to go with the 100% rollout option.

> We could set some very important machines to only get updates when packages reach 100% and stop being phased updates, but Ubuntu has a good record of not blowing things up with eg OpenSSH updates.
