For a moment it was called Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365. Naming things is hard.

Reminds me of Microsoft OneCare which sounds like saying 'wanker' with a slight French accent

Claude sounds like bollocks in Dutch ('kloot')

Pretty sure bollocks was the literal example I read on HN like 10 years ago of what your cool-sounding product name will turn out to mean in Spanish, but I can't remember if the moral of the story was to check every language or to just accept it because it'll happen anyway

Anyway, the various tech podcasts caught on after a few episodes and seem to now pronounce it more foreignly, so it's now more like clod


The name that still takes the cake is Github Advanced Security for Azure DevOps.

Now 365 is also called Copilot, so it's Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft Copilot

Naive question. How does the method in the OpenAI and Stripe flow charts differ from buying from a 3rd party seller on Amazon, which requires no agent? I don’t see what the agent is doing independently in the payment part.


In the 80s and 90s I was positive that customers would revolt over the constant security issues and generally poor quality of Microsoft software. I don’t need to tell you that it did not happen.


True. Well, we as a company left them (in the 90s). Thats 500 people. So nothing. Still happy we did.


hard to revolt against a monopoly. the only alternative is expensive Apple gear, or (for most of the 90s-2000s) learning a deep set of skills to use the nascent linux desktop options.


We didn't revolt when tobacco companies screwed generations of people, and this is just an example of the many screwing happened in the past from big companies, I'm not positive on the fact people will revolt for privacy breaches such this one

That includes -4.8 percentage points from net trade which comes from two sources:

1) Importers getting ahead of tariffs in Jan and Feb. 2) -2.3 percentage points of the net trade deficit estimate was from imported non-monetary gold, because Americans want portable wealth right now.

The thing to be concerned about is that real consumption is up only 0.3% quarter-over-quarter annualized in this estimate. This is two-thirds of GDP. Investment is actually pretty strong, especially equipment (GPU servers).

Apple and the FBI were squabbling over this for a few years, and then Apple decided to end the conversation one day and implement ADP


The history of AI is big leaps followed by years of crawl.


30 years ago Go AI was at best 20 kyu. Low rank professionals were giving AI 30 stone handicaps and fleecing them.
