bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-10-04 01:01:41

Microsoft is rolling out Copilot Chat to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote for paying Microsoft 365 business customers. Copilot Chat (short for Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat) is the company's AI-powered, content-aware chat that enables users to access AI agents. However, unlike Microsoft 365 Copilot, which has access to organizational content, Copilot Chat only works with data from the web. While Microsoft says Copilot Chat is "included at no additional cost" for Microsoft 365 users,

Will I run Boston 2026?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-03 23:04:18

Last year, we did a deep dive predicting the cutoff for the 2025 Boston Marathon. After the BAA announced the number of accepted time-qualified runners, our method was with 6 seconds of the actual cutoff. This year, we're revisiting our model with an additional data point. With the recent announcement of 33,267 applicants for the 2026 race, our updated model predicts a buffer of 5 minutes and 16 seconds. This time is based on an assumption: the BAA will allow 24,000 time-qualified runners. But

How Container Filesystem Works: Building a Docker-Like Container from Scratch

news.ycombinator.com Ivan Velichko 2025-09-30 21:37:52

One of the superpowers of containers is their isolated filesystem view - from inside a container it can look like a full Linux distro, often different from the host. Run docker run nginx , and Nginx lands in its familiar Debian userspace no matter what Linux flavor your host runs. But how is that illusion built? In this post, we'll assemble a tiny but realistic, Docker-like container using only stock Linux tools: unshare , mount , and pivot_root . No runtime magic and (almost) no cut corners. A

It was the turn of the millenium when I got my first computer fresh at university. Windows seemed uninteresting, it was impossible to work out how it worked or write programs for it.

Chain Reactions follows the elegant, thoughtful style of director Alexandre O.
