When a lawyer "attests" to a court filing, the lawyer confirms its authenticity, truthfulness, and legal basis. By signing the document, a lawyer makes a representation to the court that they have conducted a reasonable inquiry and have not submitted the filing for an improper purpose.
"(2) the claims, defenses, and other legal contentions are warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or for establishing new law;"

It's called Rule 11

He signed a sworn statement along with the filing that states he stands behind his filing.
If a lawyer falsely signs filings, I'd support 1 warning with a fine much larger than 10k. Second time - disbarred.
We put a huge amount of trust in lawyers. If they abuse that trust, they gotta go.

Are they going allow MS to pull in all these documents without signing ironclad NDAs?

And Microsoft is going spend all this money to store all these documents without charging more? Or do these documents have some non-obvious value?

If I have access to every document at every company... Hmmmm.

How long before MS notices that the most common user input is: "That isn't what I want you stupid f***ing piece of mindless sh**t." My guess is never b/c they really don't care.

And how will it respond? Will it be: "To pay your Microsoft bill say Yes." "To add Microsoft services say Yes." When you really want to get Excel to add up and then slice and dice costs across 20,000 invoices.

Everything we buy is more expensive to fund the fees that feed these very profitable loyalty programs. Even if you don't participate, it is baked into the credit card fees which are in turn baked into the price at the store.

Simplifying. You over pay by 2% to get 1% back. This is dumb.

I have to wonder. Did "Gemini Deep Think" solve the problems or simply regurgitate the answer from the billions of sucked up webpages, math research papers, etc. used to train the model? Actual competitors don't have the complete history of https://math.stackexchange.com... at their fingertips.

So the AI will figure out that I lost my job due to AI. Then the AI will offer me a lower price for a bad seat in the very back b/c it knows I can't afford anything more?

Learning to program isn't the same as Computer Science.

Computer Science is lots of algorithms, computational theory (finite automata, P and NP, etc.), graph theory, tons of numerical algorithms, lexical, syntax and semantic analysis, program transformations (loop unrolling, etc.), lots of compiler theory, databases, networking, cryptography, etc. Tons of really interesting stuff! A lot of CS is more like mathematics than programming. Lots of proofs.

Focusing on programming is a little like telling an engineering student that the curriculum is mostly bricklaying. Are we talking about a college that teaches computer science or a trade school doing "programming"?

Is there an online tool to search for my username/log in?

I'd like to know if I'm in the dataset.

Why does MS need salespeople? People only buy from MS because they don't have a choice. MS might need order takers, but then it's easier to put up a crappy website (that makes things like server CALS confusing as f.) and let people buy online. (There are lots of cases where Linux isn't an option. My accounting system doesn't run on a Linux server.)

Repetitive stuff is not new. I've used Lex and Yacc to write code that writes code, and Perl, and bits of Java and Excel...
The lazy programmer always sees a lazy way!
Funny thing. I actually understood every line, and I could explain it all to anyone who asked.
btw. This used to be the book.

Not sure if this is what everyone reads today.

You'll have a code base and not 1 employee who understands it.

Remote users are on the 172.16.105.0/24 IP Range. Possible. But unlikely.

I have several employees who can't reach the company VPN from home. They have to use their phone as a hot spot, and everything works fine. Local ISP is blocking VPN traffic. Annoying as frick.
