The UI is hilariously bad. I’m playing a NY Times podcast and say “Alexa, pause.” Two minutes later, I say “Alexa, play” and it starts playing some random news clip from ABC News.
Yes, and additionally the Copilot 360 user interface is a mess, processing time is slow, and the quality of results is poor. Using the Chat GPT or Claude interface produces much quicker/better results.
In my org, I customize meetings based on the specific report, their function, and their needs. With some reports, I meet with weekly, others biweekly, some monthly, some as needed. We adjust as needed based on turbulence, new projects, approaching deadlines, etc. It’s a very effective model.
I strongly disagree. As a simple example, just this week I was looking for ice breaker questions for a work team event. I started with Google and was wading through a myriad of pages stuffed with ads and noise. I happened to have Claude open for an unrelated work experiment and thought to ask Claude for ice breaker questions. It provided 10 good questions and I selected the first two. It’s just a matter of time until we retrain our brains to first use LLMs before Google and then Google’s usage is going to drop like a rock. LLMs for many use cases is simply better, providing better results with far less noise.
Yes, and doing a startup involves risk. If you fail, you’ll lose time and likely money. I’m now 10+ years behind on my retirement savings. I’ll likely need to work until 70-75.
Can anyone provide a single case of where a private equity majority owned business thrived, expanded, or at least maintained market share for at least three years? It seems private equity focuses on extracting every bit of value from a business, as quickly as possible, and then walking away via asset divestiture and bankruptcy.
I’m struggling to understand how the standard PE model works, particularly the debt component. PE firms seem to target mediocre businesses, load them with debt, and then harvest returns and eventually the assets. Why would a bank loan money for such an arrangement, given how often these businesses end up in bankruptcy (Toys R Us as an example)? Is the debt collateralized and bundled with better performing debt or sold off to an unwitting buyer?
It’s hard to believe how many visitors to HN are climate science deniers. This is equivalent to claiming the earth is flat, denying the value of vaccines, or arguing that we didn’t really land on the moon.
I’m not a physicist much less an astrophysicist and so take what I’m about to say with a hefty grain of salt. But I wonder if this new approach can also explain observations of distant galaxies. Distant galaxies either redshift because they’re moving away faster over time due to dark energy or redshift because their mass is changing. Can this new theory help explain why older galaxies might lose increasing mass over time?
The tax code is structured this way by design, by rich people. If rich people wanted a simplified tax code without loopholes, then they would actively lobby for this, and I guarantee congress would act to simplify the tax code.
