I wonder what it's like inside the big cloud providers. I think outside Microsoft they've always been security first, but this new era has to be crazy town.

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 things. It also feels slightly limiting, and like a hack LONG term, but 100% correct approach for a while.

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 need an SACD player.
And also note this only applies for playing on a proper HiFi or with good headphones at least.
In your car, etc you probably want the compressed mix.

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.

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 against well defined APIs.
Yes, there's still danger, it could use the APIs wrong, but humans can use the GUI wrong too

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, they iterate, they find missing requirements, it's pretty powerful.
The net result is we're building better features faster.

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 the ship sunk by a US torpedo in the Indiana Ocean?

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 sure resulted in it's top problems over the years (some fixed):
- search sucked
- can't scroll back to old messages
- couldn't do private channels
- the very concept of 1:1 teams to SharePoint site, resulting in a millions teams when all you really wanted was a channel
- can't rename teams or channels
- couldn't do private channels
I'm sure many more I didn't catch. These are all observations from outside, I've never worked at MS
