@bartdubois @FlowAltDelete I'm guessing and hoping this is a live connection to the semantic model. Kind of like what we have now with 'analyze in excel' against the semantic model

@brentviatweets @jacobandreou This takes me back

[Shane Tohill @ShaneToh]

@BraceSproul Yeah, agreed, once you move beyond a single repo the potential amount of overlap on pages becomes a real problem. In work we run a mediawiki instance and I'm considering how we would do something like this across our repos.... or I find a way to aggregate all the openwikis

@kurtbuhler Agreed, I think PBI has to go code first to survive in world of AI

[Shane Tohill @ShaneToh]

@kurtbuhler Do you ever see MS shifting PBI to a 'code first' approach or is that the role of fabric apps in the ecosystem.

[Shane Tohill @ShaneToh]

@kurtbuhler @marco_festugato The same could be done for Qlikview reports then. Will try and report back

[Shane Tohill @ShaneToh]

@FlowAltDelete Ahh okay. Yeah. All data is retained with the bounds of Azure.

@Kushagrat15 @BrianRoemmele 100% this is the reason, nothing to do with cost. MS will dogfood Copilot CLI to improve the product

@AutoInfatuation @ray_ban I was looking at the gen 2s in Vision Express last week. The sales assistant recommended transition lenses as she said loads of people buy them as sunglassess and then like them so much they want to keep them on inside etc. Still not sure if I can justify a pair.

Created an agent skill called “Visual Explainer” + set of complementary slash commands aimed to reduce my cognitive debt so the agent can explain complex things as rich HTML pages. The skill includes reference templates and a CSS pattern library so output stays consistently well-designed. Much easier for me to digest than squinting at walls of terminal text.

It's only been just over 48 hours since DeepSeek dropped DeepSeek-R1, fully open source reasoning model.

And people are getting crazy creative with it.

@shanselman @DamianEdwards I did this a few months ago with 11 pdfs from the UK government website on Energy policy changes, approx 1k pages. Took a couple of minutes to train. Responses were okay but not great. The model being used with chat with RTX at the time was mistral 7B.
