Not an original thought - but man, the @TronLegacy @daftpunk soundtrack is an amazing piece of work. One of my favorite background tracks when I'm heads down on some work.

Anyone else out there getting real assistance-level support from Copilot? Not quick answers and summaries. I mean thoughtful conversation and insight. Because I’ve been disappointed by it again and again. Not sure why Copilot couldn’t match OpenAI quality.

1/ Big day for Microsoft 365 Copilot: I’m really excited about our latest update. Copilot has truly become the UI for AI – and for me, it’s the scaffolding for my workday. Here are four new features I’ve especially been enjoying.

Here's what Americans think about a range of things and concepts associated with the European Middle Ages — as you can see, it's a mixed bag!

@sstrangio Hi Sebastian you've twice mentioned anomalous circumstances. Care you elaborate?
English
I dunno, I think the lesson is more ambiguous: in this case justice succeeded due to a progression of highly anomalous domestic political developments that very few predicted. Not sure we can drawn any binding conclusions from this course of events.

Former UN human rights chief and special rapporteur Agnes Callamard says the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte is a reminder to all those in power who think they are above the law. "Time will come: you will not enjoy impunity forever, no matter how powerful you are now," said Callamard. In 2017, Duterte threatened to slap Callamard who investigated him for alleged extrajudicial killings linked to his war on drugs. newswatchplus.ph

@binnygill @grok Binny I wonder about the way you phrased this: what do you mean by agentic's agenda? I take agentic to mean a topic, a process, possibly a technology. Despite the name none of those have agency and have an agenda.
But I do wonder whether companies or people define the agenda.

How do we control agentic’s agenda ? Or should we let it just happen? Answer only if you are a human. @grok #ArtificialIntelligence

After 7+ months of being unemployed, I’m happy to report that I’ve accepted an offer. I’ll be starting at NetApp on March 10th. I’m going back to tech marketing & security, focusing on ONTAP, one of NetApp’s key products. Thx to @vPedroArrow for making the connection!

@sakacc I’ve been thinking about this too. Ever hear of Chesterton’s Fence? Don’t tear down a fence before you understand why it was put there.

I get the sense that there are many people who for whatever stupid reason NEED/WANT to touch a really, really hot stove. They seem to be impervious to facts, immune to curiosity & learning. It’s sad (+ we will all suffer) but perhaps that’s the only thing that will open eyes.

Hey @HardcoreHistory have you read and do you recommend Denis Fustel de Coulanges’s The Ancient City. Seems kinda like Your Thing but I’ve not heard you mention it.

@drummonds I would freakin’ LOVE that @drummonds. Always love your interesting and intelligent take on things. Where’s home for you these days?

Happy Thanksgiving to all my US friends. Lots to be thankful for. Glass half empty = lots of bad things. Half full = one of the best times to be alive. I'm thankful for friends, family. Excited by the tipping point on the energy transition. From your scary neighbour to the north 😂

Feels like we really need a few more weeks to hash this election out.

@anjans It's been 15 years since I cancelled my Gold's Gym membership in Mountain View. But that was some BS.
English
Which companies in your experience are notorious to prevent cancellation?

Canceling subscriptions will be a ‘one-click’ snap in California under new law, allowing users to click cancel only once to cancel any subscription in the state.

I don't think the author of this article knows what "scrape" means. Meta used data that was given to them by their users. Yes, it's sketchy. But it ain't scraping.

@Tim_Hannigan Next time you pass through Singapore on your way to Indonesia let me know and I’ll buy you dinner. :) Think we share a curiosity and love of the region.

@drummonds Thank you Scott - very pleased you enjoyed it. There should be an updated version out towards the end of next year (about time, a decade on...)

Hey @Tim_Hannigan nice work on History of Indonesia. Great read.

Still remember when I was in middle school and the Newsweek cover on the left arrived in the mail. Today, I have two kids in middle school and the guy from the Newsweek cover is an international equestrian aficionado beloved by Americans young and old. What a time to be alive.
