8675309 is prime, and so is 8675311, so if you ever need a middlin'-large pair of adjacent primes to test your cryptographic suite, all you need is a 1980s earworm and a +2 and you're all set.
Love seeing these facilities!
My session on responsible Copilot Agents gets going at 3:30 in Moscone West - room 2016. Come join us: www.linkedin.com/posts/christ...
Which regular tools are you referring to? Like IT Pro ones or Office apps or something else?
Very very true especially with Copilot Agents:
🚀#Sysmon will become #native to #Windows

And Microsoft is running these data centers on 100% renewable energy (by the end of the year) which helps push back the ill informed narrative that datacenters are using water and burning carbon. #MSIgnite
The interesting perspective for me was that the initial water required to enable an Azure datacenter is the equivalent of 20 houses. And that water, once the initial fill is completed, will be used and reused for six years with no loss.
#MSIgnite
I know this is repetitive but I cannot say it enough: to learn about *all* the announcements from Microsoft Ignite you need to read the book of news: news.microsoft.com/ignite-2025-... #MSIgnite
I tell everyone the most useful thing about Ignite is the book of news! Go read it now before the keynote kicks off:

Very eager to see the cavalcade of news hitting while I am sitting in the Chase Arena. Some of these are going to sound more like a starting gun at a race...
BREAKING: Microsoft has just announced a strategic partnership with Anthropic. It brings Claude AI models to Azure, and also sees Anthropic commit to purchase $30 billion of Azure compute capacity. Nvidia + Microsoft also investing in Anthropic. Details 👇 www.theverge.com/news/822988/...

Okay it is #MSIgnite time.
LLMs are super useful for a variety of scenarios. AGI is a myth. Those two statements can both be true!
You shouldn't underestimate the challenge in getting staff to use new tools, even if the benefits are "obvious" to some. Meeting them in the tools they use is key to how Cognizant drove up Copilot behavior: www.linkedin.com/pulse/changi...
Only 49 miles on it. Very low mileage for a nearly ten year old car.
well look I'm sure the blue angels yesterday also caused some disruption...
Microsoft has a new small language model, dubbed Mu. It powers the new Settings AI agent inside Windows 11, and is offloaded fully onto NPUs on Copilot+ devices blogs.windows.com/windowsexper...
I will admit - hearing this sound when it starts up - I smiled involuntarily.
The WorkLab cofounder, Collete Stallbaumer, goes into further details of the Copilot Agents and the Copilot Wave 2 spring release here - well worth reading in full: www.microsoft.com/en-us/micros...
a three phase graphic; phase 1 is a human with an assistant; phase two is human agent teams; phase 3 is human-led but agent operated
WorkLab from Microsoft just released their 2025 Work Trends Index and it introduces a new concept of "Frontier Firms" when it comes to Copilot.
Worth reading in full - these changes are coming right now!

Copilot Agents have hit a true inflection point. The next few months could help many organizations transform the way they approach tasks like backfilling: www.linkedin.com/pulse/copilo...
It is so much easier to tweak once the format is locked - having to go back and check the format after the fact is...tedious.
It's official!
Microsoft is launching new Intel Lunar Lake versions of its Surface Pro 11 and Surface Laptop 7 with anti-reflective screens — but only for business customers.

this isn't real - it is a photoshop; the picture is from several years ago.
An interesting thread about DeepSeek - although I still feel strongly that the current control plane of control for AI (e.g. Microsoft Business Chat) is a more important battle than whether GenAI needs X amount of chips to run properly.
The ability to quickly flip through accounts is great.
That is a large crystal!
