This is an article about documented & acknowledged issues in the BRAZILIAN election. Try reading the actual article before bringing your favorite fascist dictator into the conversation.

LOL. In their SEC filing, 93% of all future earnings are from Grok. In 2026, Grok has 2% market share, chiefly driven by X usage.

Background: for decades the water management was handled by local govt, disastrously. Previous govt. (Ardern) fought like hell to wrestle this back to national govt, pushed it through as more systems were found to be on the verge of collapse. The trumpkins that got elected next rolled this back immediately (“big bad central govt!”) and so now these water systems are collapsing, and the right wing is doing the GOP-style “oh yeah WE are FINALLY going to fix this”. Thanks Luxon you f’ing idiot.

How do I disable this across an org?

I can see why Anthropic would like this idea...

Historically it was targeted at already captive clients building on Windows, so there was no incentive to innovate or break eggs. This persisted just long enough for the industry to evolve (web & Linux) and create much better solutions, making MS’s dev tools largely irrelevant. Today, seeing .net in a shop is a red flag for me at least (choosing .net for Web work, to clarify)

I would def use this if there was a return “select …” option. There are heaps of scenarios where sql is modified based on parameters. If no doc string just use the return value maybe?

Our queries are typically large, not 3-5 liners.

(Filter view queries where you might add additional CTA’s to provide the necessary filter conditions, but aren’t desirable if particular filter parameter is nill, etc.)

At the very least, these folks need to have their names permanently attached to this atrocity. These weren’t decisions made by “a corporation” - these people sat across a meeting room table and actually concluded that targeting breast cancer patients was an acceptable means to an end.

Lori A. Beer was the CIO at the time. Now at JP Morgan.

In 2010 WellPoint was found to be automatically targeting insurance policies of women with breast cancer for cancellation, using any pretext. Angela Braly was the CEO at the time, now at ExxonMobile. WellPoint was the second largest health insurer in the US at the time. This required a lot of business analysis and software development - and people had to realize what this code was doing. I’m guessing bonuses were paid on the back of the “savings” this generated.

Your problem isn't AML, it's chain of title. Different things. And yes, you have to show they aren't stolen. Get an indemnity bond if possible.

Seriously, why would you have a problem explaining where a $5M came from?

In most places this is "proceeds of crime", requiring associated convictions.

In places that have unexplained wealth statutes, the bar is also pretty high - "balance of probabilities" is not hard to argue IF YOU HAVE LEGITIMATE SOURCES OF MONEY.

Most of the commenters here have zero connection to reality eh.

For the uninformed: if you cannot complete KYC or proof of wealth checks, you do not lose your money.

The institution you're trying to transact will just will not work with you. They might not for any number of other reasons: adverse media, dodgy transaction history, etc. etc. etc.

This is if you want to launder 50k. If you want to launder 500k, not so much, and if you have 50M, not at all.

Doesn’t work in Safari :)

Actually, my experience at least that when dealing with novel problems LLMs fail miserably. Try accessing uncommon API’s - or areas where you’re unsure an API actually exists (REST against Exchange for admin stuff!). Both ChatGPT and Claude produce nice looking solutions dependent on non-existent libraries. Repeatedly.

I would not put any more money into this. The cute factor lasts 30 seconds.

I went through the top responses to you, and indeed, nearly 100% of the pearl-clutching "you're so wrong" have comment history that strongly suggests right wing / libertarian / neocon beliefs. In related news, no one admits to voting for Nixon either.

None of this works the way you imagine it does. Laws are by necessity interpreted. Courts do this all the time. Musk & his kids have zero knowledge, skill or authority in this regard.

System audits require a well defined structure and scope, context, methodology, governance. They take into consideration the IT systems, and the human systems and processes. They clearly define questions to be answered.

This is neither. It is a PR exercise to create an appearance of the regime doing “something” that sounds impressive to their base.

This “study” is… total BS. I’d be super suspicious of anything else Roy Dayan ever puts his name on. Clickbait is the most generous interpretation.

In other news, Goldman Sachs expects to lay off over 8,000 Toshiba laptops this year. Stay tuned.

Very clever! Also, I’d steer absolutely clear of any company that does this.

This doesn’t assess anything meaningful, it’s an ego trip for the interviewer. Ugh.

OMG. It's an absolute pile of crap on fire. Not just teams - Exchange/Outlook is as bad.

Last year we had Mac users start to report "when I attach a file, it looks like it's sent, but then recipient never sees it, and sent-emails doesn't show it either!" It got worse and worse.

This is kind of a problem in a business that sends and reviews a lot of documents. I spent two months on countless calls with MS, repeatedly capturing videos they requested, etc.

Finally, I happened to come across an advisory that hey, Outlook for Mac is broken, and will "eat" attachments. Dated a week before we started to see the problem. Firstly, it took them MONTHS to get it resolved as it required significant updates to Exchange. Secondly, in all the interactions I had to have with their support team: they had NO IDEA. Worse than useless.

This is an advert. Nothing a 30 sec read (sans the insane number of ads on this page) wouldn’t tell you.

Can you elaborate on security issues here?

EU ruled that Apple cannot link components. This suggests that Apple would need to provide API’s to allow competitors to be listed alongside the “Apple AI”, or any device to enable screen remote control (ala remote iPhone control). If you’re a dev, you might appreciate why that is an absolute PIA from a software perspective. Since they want to bring these features to market ASAP, launching now and foregoing the EU is a sensible step. Huxley sends his regards, really.

That’s a very limited perspective. While bulk of district spend (US) is salaries, buildings, pensions, busses, cafeterias etc. there is still a substantial spend on educational materials. It’s a tiny % of the overall budget, but the larger school districts have budgets in many _billions_.

Smartboards and 3d printers etc. got popular because they came from a DIFFERENT budget - these were capital expenses.

My personal experience (ed-tech reaching ~15% of school districts) is that it is impossible to sell a solution to a district _without_ support of the teaching and learning team - i.e. teachers. And if you do, it’s impossible to get a renewal.

Lastly, 9 out of 10 startups fail. It’s not just ed-tech.

Reads like a thinly veiled ad for Tower…?

Yeah. There is definitely a context here. Doesn’t in any sense excuse the violence, but sure as hell ought to be acknowledged.
