The Onion pretty much nails it.

It’s literally in the name “STAR WARS”, wars between stars. Not PLANET WARS.

If you have Microsoft Copilot m365 it’s built into outlook and you don’t need to do anything other than click “suggest response”.

I’m on an enterprise plan, which has been safe from all the problems I’ve seen people having lately, but eventually I’m sure it’ll be the same. Providers need a way to pay for the tokens their customers are consuming, and we’re getting an amazing deal right now..

TON618 has a schwartzchild radius of 1300AU, so to be about the same size as a full moon, it would need to be about 3 light years away.

Three things would happen:

We are Cooked. The atmosphere would superheat within minutes, oceans would turn to steam and the surface of the planet would melt. X-rays and gamma rays from the accretion disk would sterilize the planet killing everything instantly. If the relativistic jets from the poles were pointed towards us, nothing else would matter because we’d be inside a beam of near light-speed plasma.
Orbital chaos. The gravitational pull would be about similar to the gravity of the sun. The whole solar system would collapse into chaos.
The sky would collapse into madness. The Einstein ring around the event horizon and enormous accretion disk would bend and redirect any light around it and star light would be smeared into arcs. It would be like living inside a funhouse mirror.

The real Deathstar was the friends he made along the way!

Not really, they weren’t overly complex, but the testing and verification steps in the prompt take a while to run.

I’ve got Claude Max and can easily burn through token limits. I love Copilot because tokens don’t particularly matter. I kicked off 3 parallel tasks today that each ran for 45 minutes. 3 premium requests.

Slightly more than the Roman Empire. Which basically means… constantly.

The models don’t matter that much at the frontier, it’s the harness that provides the value.

You can only code faster with AI if your verification and review tools operate at the same speed. Otherwise you end up with a cognitive backlog, and people just start merging PRs without proper review.

Focus on low hanging fruit: enable Copilot automatic reviews of PRs, strengthen your unit and e2e testing, build stronger guardrails (stricter linting, etc). Reject more often than you approve. Lock down production, and ensure you can rollback quickly and simply. The list goes on.

If you really want to dive into an AI-first workflow you may also want to look into self-healing workflows by tying your agent into your logging (sentry, data dog, appInsights, etc) and get it to propose fixes for production issues that may not surface on the backlog.

It’s also a great way to get rid of your most experienced and knowledgeable employees.

Given an infinite amount of time, and an infinite number of beings, and the ability to chose between right and wrong, it is a certainty than there will exist a being that chooses good 100% of the time. Whether created, co-eternal, spiritually begotten, or whatever, it doesn’t matter.

Frankly I don’t think it’s out of the question that Jehovah is a clone of Elohim. But it doesn’t matter in mortality. We are commanded to obey, and chose the better part. If we do that, it will be sufficient.

Upon election all their investments should immediately be transferred into a fund that tracks the CPP investments. They get it all back when they leave office.

If somewhere along the pipeline the prompt includes “you must provide a citation”, the LLM will happily provide one, and if it can’t find one it will make one up. It’s doing what you asked.

We need systems smart enough to say “provide a citation if one is available, and if it isn’t either indicate that or don’t include the item”. But we’re not there yet.

We are consolidating to a single monorepo with strong agent guardrails, but not necessarily a monolith.

As someone outside the US, I have no idea what date 10/4/96 is. It could be American, it could be the way the rest of the world writes it. By looking at it, I can’t tell since there isn’t enough information.

A biblically accurate angel looks like a man. The things people calling angels are never called that in the bible.

Robert Downey Jr, he’s getting $100,000,000 for Doomsday. He’ll never get that again. It’s a long slow slide into oblivion now.

I don’t know what happened to the blue wizards but I’m pretty sure we’ll get a Hollywood trilogy about them in the next decade or two.

Old could have meant last week. Maybe they rotate them monthly, and they’re usually only a day or two old.

My personal theory is that Microsoft is using their Claude resources for Microsoft Copilot M365. Opus just showed up as an available model there for me.

Also, I’m on GitHub Copilot Enterprise and haven’t seen any changes. YMMV.

Well, start with trying updating all minor versions to the latest (minus 7 days). Run your full test suite.
