🙄 Microsoft adds Copilot adoption benchmarks to Viva Insights
｢ Microsoft is adding Copilot adoption benchmarks to Viva Insights, a tool that lets managers monitor teams to spot those that are gulping down the AI Kool-Aid fastest. Viva Insights is Microsoft's vaguely creepy monitoring tool, designed to slurp data from employee activities, verfiying how their teams stack up against everyone else in their own organization and at other corporations ｣

♻️ AI Data Centers Are an Even Bigger Disaster Than Previously Thought
“I had previously assumed a 10-year depreciation curve, which I now recognize as quite unrealistic based upon the speed with which AI datacenter technology is advancing,” Kupperman wrote. “Based on my conversations over the past month, the physical data centers last for three to ten years, at most.”

😅 U.S. Army Soldiers Can't Bring Their Tesla Cybertrucks to Germany
｢ Why did the German government deny the Army's request? It turns out there are several reasons—and most of them relate to safety. According to the release, the regulator flagged the truck's sharp-edged body and massive curb weight as violations of passive safety rules designed to protect vulnerable road users like cyclists, pedestrians, and motorcyclists ｣

Each package that's added to the distribution increases the number of builds. And, as more people use Guix the cost of delivering those packages also grows ｣

"Last week we hit the huge milestone of two million users. Within a few hours, we also hit 45 million exercise submissions.
A day later, I paid the final payroll for me, Erik and Aron, and our bank account reduced down to the point we can't afford to pay another.
I think this sums up Exercism's story pretty well. Over 1,200 people per day sign up to #Exercism. Tens of thousands solve exercises each day. But we don't have enough money to continue to work on the platform"

｢ The main theory I’ve seen is that the reason “delve” is so popular in AI works is that some of the training and data commonly used in AI systems was done in Nigeria and Kenya, where the word “delve” is more common. This has resulted in some arguments online, such as when online pontificator Paul Graham tweeted out how receiving an email with “delve” in it indicated it was written by ChatGPT ｣

#Payoneer keeps glitching unless I use #Chrome, not chromium or other forks. Just Google Chrome, period.
I hate fintech services that require me to use Chrome. There's nothing special about it, even Paypal works on weird Firefox forks.
Even my derelict homebanking runs just fine on FF.
