@GergelyOrosz Though, yes I guess what Microsoft has built into office should have some pattern matching and/or agentic sense to not engage the LLM for certain jobs or certain parts of jobs and use regex or formulas.

You'd think this scenario would be discovered by very few hours of QA.

@GergelyOrosz No offence, and not to sound like a full on environmentalist, but for this particular example, rather than trying to engage a GPU on some server far away, you could paste the columns as rows into this handy tool:

Here’s the scary thing that’s likely to happen based on the facts of the day if we don’t pay attention. Microsoft, who competes with @CrowdStrike, will argue that they should lock all third-party security vendors out of their OS. “It’s the only way we can be safe,” they’ll testify before Congress.

But lest we forget, Microsoft themselves had their own eternal screw up where they potentially let a foreign actor read every customer’s email because they failed to adequately secure their session signing keys. We still have no idea how bad the implications of #EternalBlue are.

So pick your poison. Today CrowdStrike messed up and some systems got locked out. That sucks a measurable amount. On the other hand, if Microsoft runs the app and security then they mess up and you’ll probably still be able to check your email — because their incentive is to fail open — but you’ll never know who else could too. Not to mention your docs, apps, files, and everything else.

Today sucked, but better security isn’t consolidated security. It isn’t your application provider picking who your security vendor must be. It’s open competition across many providers. Because CrowdStrike had a bad day, but the solution isn’t to standardize on Microsoft.

And, if we do, then when they have a bad day it’ll make today look like a walk in the park.

I see @Toyota's chief scientist Gill Pratt everywhere with his seemingly 'sober' claim that scarce lithium should be used in small batteries for hybrid cars (that Toyota is market leader in of course).

He's calling out "EV-only extremists".

And it's such utter bollox.

By inventing a new tax system to replace the old, Apple mocks the spirit of the law and the lawmakers who wrote it. I sincerely hope the EU recognizes this for exactly what it is and stands firm, and doesn’t let their work over the years all be for nothing. The world is watching.

@Carpenterdf @fesshole It's 3.97 Kg, which has been done many times before by drug mules with the sausage enclosure, just Google 'enclosed sausage shat for hours' and you'll see.

@50twopercent @fesshole He's just talking 💩 all the time, the other other day (not that one, the other one) he was telling people about his fecal excretion too, horrible, silly nonsense that never happens in real life.

Everyone loves SpaceX, and thinks of Elon as the genius founder that invents new types of rockets that are cheaper, faster, more efficient.

It's fun to think of it as SpaceX versus NASA, or Silicon Valley vs Aerospace.

But let's talk about D&I, and logs. Logs as in timber. 🌲

@GergelyOrosz Just that all distributed systems have another level of 'bug possibilities' that yes you probably wouldn't appreciate without exposure.

[Darren Sherwood @darrenshrwd]

@GergelyOrosz I am not implying Twitter has a bunch of bugs left behind with the above.
