Comment Re:The CTO? (Score 1) 35

That's exactly why it's sort of disappointing to see him promoted away from actually doing stuff; and showing off a one of the less interesting "do Doom in a technically weird way" demos around.

Plenty of c-suite are just "meh, nothing of value was lost" when the suit fully engulfs the human; either they never seem to have done anything of interest or were popped directly out of some viscous spawning pool at McKinsey or whatever; but Russinovich was really good for nasty NT crevices work, so it seems a real shame for him to be vague CTO of cloud stuff. I don't begrudge him the money the promotion presumably involved; but going from actually interesting things to sending copilot to double booked meetings is kind of grim.

At this rate we will end ourselves with AGW before we achieve AGI.

But if not that, it'll be nukes or biotech.

It's looking increasingly like the great filter is that ambition exceeds ability while ability also exceeds restraint, and at the same time, a species gains the ability to destroy itself. TBF our sample size is small, but it remains compelling...

Really? They were deliberately choosing genes? They selected them from a list? We usually only see that in science fiction, please provide more information on this amazing technological development!

This tells you how important he is to the function of Azure, a "service" which has been hacked multiple times so badly that there are no logs and Microsoft doesn't know what happened.

They hired him for his recognizable name, and he's so involved with the business that he has time to do... this.

Perhaps Microsoft should try to find someone who can solve Azure's problems to run it.

Closed-loop water cooling? Heat pump cooling? Immersion cooling? A lot of things, really.

The water has to come from somewhere. They will be using water. Where will the water come from? If they're not getting it from their own catchments then they are literally going to be "tapping" a water supply. I suppose it could be an "industrial" supply, are they putting their DC next to an industrial source of water? Otherwise they will be "tapping" a "residential or rural" water source.

Words have meanings and there's no need to fall over ourselves to defend a multi billion dollar company for abusing them.
