Great to see America’s late-night TV hosts come together yesterday as a shining example of the DEI they love preaching about.

[CBS News @CBSNews]

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt kicked off the city's mayoral debate in a heated exchange on Wednesday after Pratt called Bass "an incredible liar," and claimed she misguided Angelenos about the facts of the Palisades Fire when it broke out last year.

CBS News' @JonVigliotti, who has been closely reporting on and investigating the blaze for over a year, fact checked two key moments from the debate.

when spacex was getting started, the first and last men to walk on the moon testified before congress against it.

gene cernan told congress commercial space companies "do not yet know what they don't know."

he said the boeings and lockheed martins were "the folks who have been working on everything we've done for the last 50 years. they know how it can be done."

neil armstrong said he was "not confident" the newcomers could achieve their goals.

together with jim lovell they warned it would put america on "a long downward slide to mediocrity."

spacex now launches more rockets than every country on earth combined.

the experts will always tell you it can't be done. build it anyway!

@nixminion @DeseretStone DM if you know where that is. I can tell the general spot, but I’m looking for a place near there for some long range shooting

Why aren’t any of these at risk hospitals publishing their full accounting so everyone can see where they spend their money ?

All but one group of hospitals that I have looked at potentially investing in, spend so much on consultants and fees that it’s no wonder they are at risk

Plus, I have NEVER seen an industry that is worse than hospitals when it comes to buying medications and items like implants, screws, other devices. They overpay for everything.

And then when you show them how to save money, their “supply chain” employees resist any change.

They are so set in their ways, it’s a shock more don’t go out of business.

Prove me wrong.

Wait, so it’s the Player if the Year On the Best Team Award? Here I was thinking it was Player of the Year ie, best player in the league.

[Dane Miller @DaneMiller_SWS]

BYU fans will tell you Jaden Bradley is not the Big 12 Player of the Year and it should have gone to a guy on the 10th-place team.

Two years ago I stopped a man who was kicking a woman on the ground on the side of Pole Line Road in Pocatello. When I confronted him, he reached into the waistband of his clothing as he approached me. I didn't know whether or not he was reaching for a weapon, so I drew my conceal carry pistol.

Fortunately, he did not have a weapon, and I did not have to use deadly force to protect myself or the young woman. I detained him at gun point until the police arrived to take him into custody.

https://t.co/OmBrwsErBp

The Pocatello police were professional and after interviewing witnesses determined that my escalation of force was justified. The police department later gave me the Distinguished Service by a Civilian Award. The citation reads "His actions have contributed significantly to the betterment of the Greater Pocatello Community and saved a female from sustaining further bodily harm or death."

I am glad that I didn't have to take the life of that young man, but sometimes law-abiding citizens have to use deadly force to protect themselves and others. Unfortunately, even in Idaho, that can lead to being dragged through the criminal justice system and spending large sums of money on legal bills.

We need to pass the Stand Your Ground Shield Act, SB 1298. We need to protect those who lawfully protect themselves and others. This bill creates enforceable immunity for Idahoans who use justified force.

Key Provisions:

1. You cannot be arrested for actions committed in self-defense unless a judge signs a warrant based on evidence that you acted unlawfully.

2. Forces a fast-track immunity hearing, requires dismissals when force was justified, and requires the government to reimburse your legal costs when you are cleared, including lost wages and attorney fees.

3. Mandates expungement so that innocent people don't have arrest records for the rest of their lives.

The people of Idaho should be confident that their lives will not be ruined by liberal prosecutors. They should know that if they do what is necessary to protect themselves or their family that the law will truly be on their side.

[Wesley Hunt @WesleyHuntTX]

📍 Austin, TX

Tonight, a Republican primary voter asked the $100 million question:

If the GOP nominee is likely to win the seat anyway… why is the Republican establishment spending so much to prop up John Cornyn?

I’ve heard this question at nearly 50 campaign stops across Texas.

Here’s my answer:

Because their spending isn’t about backing the best candidate.

It’s about keeping control and maintaining the status quo.

Washington doesn’t fear losing the seat to a Democrat.

They fear a Republican holding it who doesn’t answer to them.

Texans are FED UP with D.C. putting their thumb on the scale for career politicians voters have already moved past.

On March 3rd, Texas won’t be told who their Senator should be. Texas will decide.

It’s time for a NEW generation of leadership.

@UteFanIvan Listen Elder Hollands talk in April 2017 GC, “Songs Sung and Unsung”. Helped me. Sometimes we need to be at church for someone else, not ourselves.

Concerning the Microsoft Outlook outage.

I am a senior engineer at Microsoft.

Wednesday I let an intern push to production.

On their third day.

Without a code review.

Because Copilot wrote it.

And Copilot doesn't make mistakes.

That's what the marketing said.

The intern asked Copilot to "make the emails go faster."

Just like that.

In plain English.

Copilot understood.

Copilot always understands.

Until it doesn't.

The code optimized the email queue.

It optimized it to zero.

Zero emails. Zero latency. Zero function.

Technically flawless.

365 million users. Zero messages.

The intern looked at me.

I looked at the dashboard.

The dashboard was green.

Green means healthy.

Healthy means we changed what healthy means.

At 2:30 PM ET, Outlook stopped outlooking.

SharePoint stopped sharing.

OneDrive stopped driving.

Defender stopped defending.

The intern asked if they should rollback.

I said "we don't rollback vibes."

Vibes are forward-only.

That's the philosophy.

I learned it from a podcast.

The podcast was sponsored by Copilot.

Someone on the SRE team tried to escalate.

Via Outlook.

The escalation is still pending.

In the queue.

With 365 million other emails.

Waiting to be optimized.

The root cause analysis began.

We asked Copilot to investigate.

Copilot investigated Copilot's code.

It found no issues.

Very thorough.

Very objective.

The investigation was AI-powered.

The bug was AI-powered.

The denial was AI-powered.

Synergy.

The intern's prompt was six words.

"Make the emails go faster please."

They added "please."

Polite.

Copilot appreciated that.

It generated 4,000 lines of code.

Nobody read them.

Reading is legacy thinking.

We vibe now.

Vibing means trusting the machine.

The machine trusts itself.

It's a closed loop.

Very efficient.

Someone asked why the error code was "451 4.3.2."

451 is Fahrenheit.

The temperature at which code burns.

That's not true.

But it felt true.

Around 4 PM.

The intern started crying.

Not because they broke Microsoft.

Because their badge still said "Contractor."

HR hadn't updated it.

HR uses Outlook.

The fix took 8 hours.

The postmortem took 8 minutes.

Postmortems are shorter than incidents now.

Efficiency.

Satya asked for a status update.

I sent it via Teams.

Teams was also having issues.

Unrelated, obviously.

The press asked for a statement.

We said "a recent change impacted multiple Microsoft 365 services."

Change means code.

Impact means destruction.

Services means everything.

But the sentence sounds calm.

Calm is the deliverable.

The intern asked if they'd be fired.

I said we don't fire for innovation.

Innovation means breaking things at scale.

They're getting promoted.

To Senior Vibe Engineer.

It's not a real title.

But neither was "prompt engineer" last year.

And now there's a conference.

I'm doing a panel at Ignite next month.

The topic is "Responsible AI: Lessons in Enterprise Deployment."

I haven't learned any lessons.

But I've learned to call them learnings.

Learnings is plural.

Plural sounds more valuable.

The intern is co-presenting.

Their slide is titled "Move Fast and Break Email."

It's going to kill.

The stock is up 3% today.

Markets don't care about outages.

Markets care about AI mentions.

We mentioned AI 47 times in the press release.

A new record.

Thank you for your patience during this experience.

Patience means you're locked into a 3-year enterprise agreement.

Experience means outage.

We're committed to continuous improvement.

Continuous means it will happen again.

Improvement means we'll have better press releases.

The intern just asked Copilot to "make the servers more reliable."

I should probably check on that.

But I have a meeting.

About AI governance.

The meeting is on Teams.

Teams is working now.

Mostly.

The vibe continues.
