  @Azure I'd rather drag my face across broken glass than use Azure again. It'll happen, but I won't like it.

  Manual expense processing slows teams down. When Ramp faced this problem, it turned to the Microsoft Azure AI Platform to automate 5M receipts each month - saving the company 30,000 hours of work. 😱 Read the story to understand how AI makes it possible. @Azure

  @MSCloud assuming you guys handle Windows365 which is cloud based (and whose principles I love), you may consider using what we called a "transaction processor" although frankly it is very hard these days to find a description that fits what I knew of them when I started coding on IBM mainframes in my teens in the 70s. I'm only saying that because the executables' images these days are so huge and full of useless code you'll fast have huge memory management issues, the same we used to have on our mainframes back in time as we squeezed our code in a few kilobytes. The word transaction processor comes from the fact we mostly coded for banks and insurance companies, where one performed transactions before computing turned up, so it doesn't tell you why it's so great, nor how it works: Despite the fact we had thousands of online users for one tiny computer, there was only one executable image contiguously loaded in memory (maybe two). Each user had a session but all that was kept for each session in resident memory was only the data it used, and the adress (the position) of the next instruction to execute in the executable image for that session. And the beauty of that in a multithreading environment, is that it happens automatically without overbearing thread management. To be honest we coders never had to bother about it all, and Cobol as a programing language was well geared to such a use: working storage was defined before the executable code using those data definitions was lined up, unlike Basic for instance where you could define fields as you went, but where professionals defined them up with comments at the top of the program. (I suppose this can be reshuffled at compilation stage.. yes sorry you need to compile). I Guess object orientation that came a little bit later will fit very well in that framework. We used IMS and CICS on IBM, and ACMS on DEC VAX/VMS.

  @EnglishHeritage your membership login/setup is completely broken this evening. Heads-up that’s down to @Microsoft @Azure b2c issues. I think the error code in the browser console (not visible to average user) means English Heritage has an expired or invalid client cert.

  @Azure Evaluation to enforcement is the right loop. Agent trust is not a one-time test; it needs repeated policy checks, runtime controls, and evidence that the fix actually changed behavior before the agent gets more scope.

  @Azure Every generation request takes so long that the service is unusable. Even 1024x1024 images can take more than 5 minutes to complete.

  @Azure has the worst docs I’ve ever seen. Code examples? DONT WORK! Tips tell you to use a .NET version they don’t support anymore. Workflows from 1 year ago? DONT WORK! It’s actual torture. All because they are upselling a premium support package.

  @Azure Confidential Computing was built for this exact problem. Your data stays encrypted while it's being processed – locked inside hardware-level trusted environments. The cloud provider can't see it. The host OS can't see it. Nobody can. Overhead: under 8% #MicrosoftAzure

  My experience with @Azure: - Pay USD 123.58/mo for Postgres - Server gets stuck on restart. Cannot access it. Gotta contact support. - Pay $29 to contact support. But that's business hours only, and it's 2 AM. - Pay $100/mo to reach 24/7 support. - SLA is 1h. Get a response 2h later. - Request a refund. Get ignored for 13 days. - Escalate the ticket. - Receive 5 full-page apology emails, all expecting a response. - Server still not stable. - Upgrade to USD 218.48/mo. This is the kind of nonsense @levelsio warns about. Meanwhile, Hetzner would cost ~€40/mo.

  Still think it's an incredible business model when @Azure keeps giving me a 8vCPU CPU even when I select (and pay for) one with 32 or 48, but to get any support on this bug I need to pay THEM?

  @benshapiro @Azure Poor recent Boeing products, poor reliability recent cars and pickup trucks correlate with the adoption of MS @Azure and exponential growth of MSFT. Does this make sense?

  Enterprise AI vendors have a credibility problem when they sell broad use intelligence while their own product documentation is inaccurate. If the system’s deterministic behavior is already codified, documenting it clearly in natural language should be table stakes in this world... 👀 @Azure @MSCloud 👀

  Tried to setup @Azure Foundry for @OpenAI data residency in West Germany. Recap after 1 hour: This is the WORST dev experience like ever. WTF is deployment type (I selected Germany for a reason), what is quota and why does it not exist? I added a credit card - THAT IS MY QUOTA. Oh, and not a SINGLE OpenAI model (except text-embedding-3-large) is selectable. Apparently, there is "some quota" for GPT-4-Turbo (hello 2023!!) but the model is not even in the model selector... And the best thing? How much model quota you have, the model's description, and the model's pricing are at 3 different locations. Oh, and, yes, you are able to "Request Quota" but it is just a long form where you have to enter ALL your account data again and even add a justification, and then maybe get a reply at some point? So, basically, a customer needing data residency in Germany will need to write a support ticket as their first task after account creation. Nice CX.. I am quitting the process and will try out @MistralAI for this project

  @Azure COPILOT IN AZURE IS USELESS AS HELL, IT DOESN’T SOLVE ****. IT FEELS LIKE AN AI MADE BY A 12-YEAR-OLD. If you offer Azure for Students, why the hell don’t the regions allow you to create free virtual machines? What the hell are those services even for?? screw all of you.
