Comment Who will it be? (Score 2) 19

Only a fool of an european would apply for such position. If it an American gets the role it will just be void.

Itâ(TM)s ridiculous to think a ciso can reassure anything. The law is the law and Microsoft must follow the law. This is the problem. It is impossible for a European country to trust American services, there is no privacy nor any confidentiality any more - no doubt we need to stop depending on all non-European services and build ourselves.

I was building a repository of knowledge like you do in ChatGPT - adding text and prompts and iterating on it. However, once I hit 30 queries copilot said that I couldn't add anymore! After doing some research it appears that is by-design, implemented to avoid hallucinations.

If you query a text more than 30 times it will refuse to continue new questions on the topic.

This is a showstopper for me.

Comment everyone is already a programmer (Score 1) 170

nothing stopped anyone from learning to program. some of the best ones are totally self taught, also some of the even better ones have heaps of education. programming has always been a finicky specialty. i always wondered why we with open arms accept these non educated expert programmers, mostly I've struggled with the smart ass style of programming - although, given a few years of experience things will get better. I've also met terrible terrible well educated programmers who just solve problems where no problems can be found.

with AI maybe even other professions can start accepting uneducated professionals into their ranks, looking forward to my first discounted uneducated doctor appointment, or maybe I can (with AI) self diagnose.

GOOD TIMES.

Even though I have some crypto currency I am agreeing with WB. Possession of tangible assets is important. Money has no value unless there is an authority that is willing to accept it. We saw that during the pandemic, no matter how much money we threw at someone they were unwilling to trade some vital products for money because they needed it themselves.

When push comes to shove, you cannot eat money. Crypto is even worse, it requires a functioning IT infrastructure to be able to perform transactions.

Comment It's pretty good (Score 5, Interesting) 189

I use AppleTV every day. The menu system is snappy, responsive, and extremely intuitive. I can access all my content, and stream from plex. Recently I hooked up a PS4 controller and started playing some games.

We have three AppleTVs and I advocate it for all friends and family. Even a friend who is die-hard against all Apple devices found a place in his heart to buy and use the AppleTV.

In my opinion, it is highly underestimated. If you decide to live in Apple's walled garden, it integrates very well across devices.

It makes it very easy for me to manage content.
