maybe a different thing but trying to work with copilot as part of the microsoft apps (e.g. automation flows) feels like it has zero reasoning ability, just says the same thing over and over like a chatbot rather than LLM.


Also 365 -_-


The joke is "expect one day of downtime every leap year", but in practice it seems a bit more than that.


Likewise, on macs since OS7, don't care at all. People might as well be comparing the tread on their car's tyres


Surprisingly large number of businesses run on whatsapp, as a consultant in Asia it's prob around half the businesses I've worked with prefer it over teams/slack. If Meta had been sensible about API access Telegram wouldn't have even got a foothold.


WhatsApp is actually more popular than Slack, isn’t it? In my country, almost everyone uses Slack, and I’ve hardly ever heard of any companies using WhatsApp, so that was surprising to me.


WhatsApp is more popular than Slack, Teams and Telegram combined. WhatsApp has something like 2-3 billion users worldwide

WhatsApp vs Slack + Teams is a bit of an apples to oranges comparison though.


Living in Japan has made me realize how different cultures can be — even down to the apps and services people use. It honestly surprises me, and now I kind of want to try WhatsApp too.


Honestly Whatsapp is nothing special. It works well, just like many other chat apps nowadays. The interest is that in some large parts of the world, everyone uses it already.


The only thing it's that creating bots for whatsapp it's not as easy as for telegram and it cost money. Actually that is the business plan for whatsapp making money from whatsapp business


Interesting. I’m an engineer, so how easy it is to use and how much it costs both matter a lot to me.


Getting an agent working via an existing Slack setup is fairly effortless and the control over output format is useful

I had a look at getting same agent up in WhatsApp but it seems to need FB business acc to even start process, to get FB business you need an FB personal etc. ... looked like too much effort


What country is it? Surprised someone on tech even asks this question


south america and africa are both heavily invested in whatsapp in the business space.


Having set up Analytics on all my websites, I noticed absolutely zero change in sales volume therefore Analytics is a waste of time.


Seems weird to comment on delayed new features from Apple. Obviously if it doesn't meet the quality bar it would get pushed back, that's just how they do things.

But I wonder how much of the problem is due to trying to minimise data processing off-device. Even with Open AI as a last resort, I don't imagine you get much value choosing betwixt the local model or a private cloud that doesn't save context.

Meanwhile the average user is yeeting their PII into Altman's maw without much thought so Siri is always going to seem rubbish by comparison.


But that's not just how they do things. Apple's quality bar is basically at the floor. Liquid glass, text editing on iOS...


Was really hoping this would be an article on the OS file size. /system using 80GB on a 250gb drive is crazy. Don't get me started on the state of library directories and app bloat.


They should have to advertise the usable space. Right now it is like opening a can of beans and finding it half water.


Just let me do what I want to do and if you get the sense the team is not performing please ignore that lmao


Mostly the x is evil crowd are reasoning based on political affiliation. As is the GoodLaw Project and Jolyon Maugham who have a history of doing so.

All media is agitprop now. If the CEO of a company says things that oppose the political chorus of either side, they become subject to witch hunts such as this.

Individuals are losing their ability to reason with ideas


> Individuals are losing their ability to reason with ideas

There isn't a single reason or idea in your previous two paragraphs. Instead it seems to be the worst of cynicism designed to encourage people to give up on reasoning and ideas.


When foundry came out the demo looked next level. I'm sure you could do much of the same thing with FOSS but IMO the problem that the NHS has been struggling with for multiple decades really looks like a lack of Technical Leadership due to the complexity of the environment and care needed when dealing with patient data.

Hopefully Palantir has the necessary skillset to navigate the political environment which involves developing a platform that: 1. protects patient privacy 2. supports needs of providers (e.g. hospitals, gps, specialists, DoH) 3. allows providers to use data to support their operations 4. allows NHS to use the data to improve patient outcomes and efficiency

This Foundry demo impressed me at the time but its a bit dated now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uF-GSj-Exms

I’ve heard Foundry is not only insanely expensive, but to actually accomplish something comparable to the demos in your domain requires a huge amount of integration work to build it out in a way that locks you in.


They are currently trying to screw us for a 14% year on year increase (over 4 years)

and screwing us for licenses to run apps in "production"


> requires a huge amount of integration work

Oh no!..

Data integration is literally Palantir's business.


That second video was fascinating, thanks for posting.
