Jokes aside, I genuinely don't know everything Salesforce does. Used their tool to get customer feedback data once in my last company, and it was worse than anything I used from Microsoft (probably unfair comparison because I did not use a product from same category.) Also how long do you want an OS supported (they supported it for 10 years). It's not like Win 10 stops working once MS stops supporting it.

He's right. I asked Microsoft Copilot what Salesforce does but it could not explain

I don't know about running a country to the ground. They are economically doing quite well with metrics exceeding those of neighboring countries like India.

Bricks are not going to passively cool or warm the houses. They could be coated with paints or surfaces that do so. And building tall buildings with bricks are prohibitively expensive.

I use it for doing mundane tasks like creating queries following a pattern I defined or creating docs for code. My experience has been great so far. Not sure if it is worth the price for my company, but it encourages me being a little lazy and saves some time.

I don't know the details of the case. But how was such sensitive documents available to a low ranking person like him?

They never released a v1. I feel like they could supplement their "red-teaming" efforts by allowing the "professionals" to have a go.

Microsoft should have learned how to red-team from that fiasco. Release a beta version to 4chan and X, and see the different ways a model can be prompted to create controversial results.

Expect them to announce accounts requiring email/ phone associated with it and non-signed-in users having limited viewing capabilities. Also bye-bye old(.)reddit(.)com

In my country we used pirated version of Office products. Does that count?

Reminds me of that episode of Mad Men where Lucky Strike drops SCDP as their advertising agency. Hope they have their Don Draper

Bet it might be because of a combination of compliance and cost. Storing logs at that scale is not cheap

Pretty interesting it is a Global one. Probably either/ or combination of faulty build being deployed and certificates/ secrets expiring.

Maybe this is why it only affected leadership team. Maybe they can circumvent requirements meant for lowly employees.

I never understood what motivated Nobel Committee to give him a Nobel for Peace. If it was economics I would understand. Grameen Bank and its insane interest rates are well known for making poor debtors commit suicide. Since there is no credit system in Bangladesh, they relied on social pressure to make debtors pay off the loan, by making the debtors family/ neighbors not credit worthy if debtor fails to pay off the loan. It works great until it doesn't. And this whole thing of high interest rate loan is not new in the region.

I never heard good things about Yunus outside the "intellectual" circles in Bangladesh. And outside Bangladesh he seems to be the savior of the country, with a big presence in the elite circles of the west. I do not know if he actually committed the crimes he is convicted for, but I would not be surprised if he did do that. Every businesses do that back there.

Agreed. But in the western media they are not depicted as similar to the CCP. Maybe because compared to CCP they are terrible at it. At least the Chinese policies gave rise to homegrown giants like Baidu, Alibaba and more recently Bytedance.

EU is really the innovator at investigations and regulations. With the number of laws they have to protect their customers and prevent monopolies, I am surprised how they only have one big software company and four major car companies. Or maybe those rules are only aimed to help their monopolies.
