Release Notes?

VSCode is a good example. After the latest updates, the Recent Changes are surfaced when we open the editor.

That combined with a What's New? link should answer this question any time.

If the issue is customer/end-user view versus internal view of changes, you could put them in a separate section of the Recent Changes release note.

For status tracking in the pre-release/dev/testing stages (for eg., to answer your when is featureX shipping? question, wouldn't something like GitHub tags suffice?
> Files with spaces in the name are just a bad idea

Hear, hear! I would love a mount option that disallows them for good (or replaces them transparently by nbsp U+00A0).

Do people also want variable names with spaces in their programs? Filenames are variable names, and the file contents are the data that the variable refers to. Allowing spaces in variable names is just brain damage.
I‘m turning 50 this week. I wish I’d noticed sooner that life is always „now“, not some distant future. All that productivity talk is good, but don’t forget about yourself now.
The first few paragraphs seem like a reasonable summary:

"The historically good results for Arizona Democrats at the polls this month are the third cycle in a row that MAGA has faltered at the ballot box, and political observers say it should be a clarion call to Republicans that Trumpism is a loser in the Grand Canyon State.

But operatives in both parties say that will be easier said than done, as Donald Trump’s grip on the Republican Party electorate remains strong.

“Conservatism wins in Arizona. Crazy does not,” said Chris Baker, a Republican political consultant who works on congressional and legislative races in Arizona and across the country. “The Republican Party in Arizona is at a crossroads right now. Is this the direction we want to continue in?”"
But these are confounding factors related to your socio-economic status. You're probably smarter than someone who is too poor to travel, uneducated, and who will die in the same village they were born. But it's not because you know more than one language.
At this point in my life, I think I would quite happily become a tradie. Would anyone pay me a living wage whilst I was an apprentice? No. Will the government top up my wages so I can survive whilst on the apprenticeship? No. Will the government offer free or subsidised training so I can learn in my spare time whilst working another job? No.

Will the government give a bunch of money away to their mates in dodgy covid contracts? Yes. Will they let bankers get away with tanking the entire economy? Yes. Will they do anything and everything they possibly can to support landlords who don't offer anything productive to the economy? Yes.

In the words of the Joker, you get what you fucking deserve.

I was really hoping that he would have presented an argument for why we shouldn't be worried about massive unemployment, but he didn't. All he did was point to a prior era, at something that is very different from AI, and say "look, that didn't cause massive unemployment!"

Residential/Household electricity isn't hard. Learning everything you need to know and putting in the time to get licensed as an electrician is. And for good reason, there are plenty of fools who would try to call themselves electricians otherwise (as there are many fools who try to call themselves software developers but make more of a mess than anything else).

Learning how to do your own household wiring as a homeowner is not hard.

Social media as a tool strikes me as the same kind of argument as “REAL socialism hasn’t been tried yet”

It doesn’t feel at all to me that there are any social media platforms that function at all like tools but rather data vampires attempting to addict at any cost” and so Haidt’s mention of increased suicide rate is unfortunately not at all a surprise.

Sorry if this sounds harsh but calling platforms in the zeitgeist at this moment in time as tools is simply naive.
For a case study in this phenomenon the UK made use of nudge theory during the covid pandemic and I think one of the outcomes is some people distrusting the organs of state in a way they didn't before. I think people remember the 'look them in the eyes' campaign along with other 'nudges' and associate it with a time they not only felt miserable and scared but also felt taken for mugs by the very politicians who were trying to increase compliance when things like Partygate and shady government contracts to friends of ministers came to light.

I think anything that's not completely candid with the public is eventually seen as dishonest whether rightly or wrongly. Personally I think no matter how well-intended it's hard to see nudge theory as anything other than 'shady behavioural psychology tactics to induce compliance with government policy without personal consent or a democratic mandate' which is something I believe fundamentally breaks the social contract.
I can't even beat the first level.
Portability is still an unsolved problem, no matter how often FIDO Advocates say that it's solved (no 1Password is not actually portable, migration still isn't built into the spec as far as I can tell).

I'm always happy to be proven wrong with this. Let me know if I can today (not maybe in the future, but right now) pull down an Open Source codebase onto my Linux computer, compile it myself without submitting some kind of validation check to a 3rd-party that will sign the code, and then batch export from an iPhone/iCloud account into that program so I can use it as provider without individually signing into any of those accounts.

If not, then it's not portable. And that's why people (at the very least people like me) aren't using it, because it's transparently an opportunity to increase vendor lock-in and to allow services to dictate that I can only log into previously client-agnostic accounts using a small set of proprietary platforms. I know that's not the intention of the FIDO Alliance, but their intention doesn't matter if the end result is the same.

Passwords do legitimately have a ton of problems and there is a theoretical version of Passkeys that would be amazing that I would be praising if it existed today. It's not that the idea is bad, there are changes to the standard that could be made that would make this good -- some of them would be controversial, some of them would make security purists upset. We'd need to have a conversation about what hardware attestation is actually going to be used for on a mass-market. But it could happen, it's not that passkeys are inherently bad.

But you will have to drag me kicking and screaming away from a format that is client-agnostic and inherently portable into an authentication mechanism that trivially enables vendor lock-in. Don't tell me about what companies might do in the future, the companies launched products in the present that don't support migration. Fix that, and then I'll listen to conversations about how Passkey/WebAuthn is better.
That is true - but the few hours I'd have to invest in this are better spent doing something else (or nothing at all, which is valuable).

And I don't need to do these repairs and maintenance at a frequency which would make learnings 'stick'.

Furthermore, I am afraid (or 'excessively cautious') of electricity, although that might stem from ignorance

In contrast, I've learned to be my own accountant, of sorts, because I have to deal with it frequently enough, and have never heard of a person dying or becoming gravely injured from dealing with a spreadsheet in error

We didn't have any clients, it was a marketing department for a CPG company. I was just a peon; I didn't have any say in how things got done. Say all that to say, you would think that at some point VPs of other departments would want to know how all the money that got allocated to marketing was actually benefiting the company. I'm talking a concrete dollars to dollars comparison. I personally didn't get to scratch that itch until I moved into e-commerce.

> My point is that transit is never faster than car, obviously if you close the streets to vehicles you can make places reachable only by foot.

This just isn't true, everything breaks down and driving becomes much slower during rush hour due to inherent limitations of, you guessed it, physics.

See my other comment about my rush hour bus commute in Portland, the bus was faster than driving because of dedicated bus lanes. Driving is only fast if there isn't traffic AND there is ample parking close to your destination.
I think your thesis about management wanting in-office is accurate, but your rationale for why seems misguided.

I'm the CEO of a 500 person company and our lease cost is negligible relative to everything else, and being fully remote means lots of travel and expensive all-hands get togethers which almost fully negate any office savings.

The overlap between VCs and public market investors and "rich investor friends who have money tied to urban office real estate" is non-existent from a pressure and influence standpoint.
yah I can see that as a feature. Reminds me of stories I heard from people at google who preferred the contractor/contingent-worker lifestyle over permanent employees for the sake of avoiding all the HR rigmarole and office politic drama, perf review busywork, etc etc that adds questionable value to ones career.
There are multi-pigment color e-ink displays that don't use a filter array. E-Ink's ACeP range uses four pigments (CMY+white). The white pigments are reflective, the others are transparent, and you basically sort of sort/stack them with different drive voltages, combining different pigments above white while leaving others below the white layer.

I think OP is dissatisfied even with greyscale e-ink panels, though.

LDC and GDC both have the section concept exposed as a UDA.
Artists, Musicians, Celebrities, Actors, Models, and in fact everyone, have a right to their public image: "Right of Publicity"[0]. If an artist using AI uses a relatively poor facsimile of Grimes' voice and avoids claiming it as Grimes' voice, and no one notices that it's Grimes' voice...there's enough plausible deniability that it would be a very difficult case for Grimes to win. However, the moment someone says "I put Grimes' voice on my new track"...they are blatantly infringing on Grimes' Right-of-publicity -- even if the voice isn't actually a copy of hers. Also if the voice is clearly Grimes', it could be found to infringe upon her rights.

In this tweet, Grimes grants everyone a blanket license to use her voice. But not her face, and not her name -- which makes the legal status of labeling the song "...ft. Grimes AI" debatable! To conform to the terms of the license, they just have to give Grimes 50% of the royalties.

Expanding on the "voice but not name" concept, you could imagine a situation where "Deep Voice Guy from the TV Commercials"[1] might want to grant an open license to use his voice, but wouldn't want his real name associated with the myriad works of art that he may or may not approve of personally. So he could grant licenses for using his voice while stipulating that people cannot associate his real name with their art.

That was my eventual attitude for a certain three-letter tech company I worked a string of contract assignments at. My thought was if/when I found a better/permanent position elsewhere, I would give them exactly the same advance notice they were giving me (effectively "I'm not coming back on Monday, where do you want me to send your laptop?")
Some words, like “language”, are often used in the common sense rather than the technical sense. Sometimes for simplicity. Sometimes for humor. And sometimes it happens on Hacker News.

But, if we’re being pedantic, I should mention that there are languages that do not require ordering for meaning but instead use declensions and conjugations (though ordering may still be used for further expressiveness). Though maybe you include this in your “fixed literal vocabulary”.

I worked really hard in school, and when I got my golden ticket to silicon valley I was so excited to leave the corn fields and start my new life. I knew zero people in the Bay Area, but my coworkers and roommates (and roommates’ friends) were enough of a social circle for me; I loved my work and my team. One year later, CA lockdowns hit and everyone I knew left CA or moved back to familys’ million dollar homes. I was left adrift, not wanting to go back to the cornfields, expecting things to reasonably end soon, working remotely, and alone. They did not reasonably end: I grew more and more depressed and isolated. I tried but zero in-network providers were taking new patients for therapy/psychologists, and the (sigh) remote therapy options just felt more isolating. I vividly remember having a good conversation on betterhelp, only for the call to end and just be left there sitting alone in my room, silence.. I talked to managers about it, but they told me I should watch more Netflix, and likely just furthered the decision to lay me off.

Getting laid off was the best thing to happen to me. The work culture that led to it being done over zoom, was the worst.
I'm a huge fan of some of their music, but I must admit that I find the rest pretty annoying for my ears (I mean, when they go crazy with higher frequencies instruments). You probably will like Hermeto Pascoal if you don't know him already.
I don't think that's fair. For example - we have a 2 party system that is designed so only one of them will win. And most people want to vote for someone that has a shot at winning. That doesn't make them morons. They're just picking the least dirty shirt in their minds.

Yes, you could say - well they don't vote in the primaries so it's their fault. But the same systems at play in the general elections are the same ones that drive the primaries. If primary voting was 1:1 with general election voting, the system would just adjust to influence accordingly.

Who exactly was going to do anything meaningful to save the finances of the US? The best options we've seen have been Ron Paul and Bernie and we saw what happened there. Funding and media are able to influence who wins. If someone says logical things and is anti Fed or even a little anti Wall Street establishment, they are painted out as nut jobs. And it's effective to the public who generally, has no savings and has little time to research like those that live more comfortably.

All candidates are all co-opted by special interests. And almost all by the financial system which is the biggest risk. It's not an accident that both red and blue appoint the same people to the Fed, despite fighting aggressive over almost every other nomination and appointment.

We also have a huge wealth gap and media divisiveness giving rise to populist candidates.

They make it one side versus the other meanwhile they both fleece the financials and economic prosperity that could occur if managed well.

We've gone past the point of no return, led by both parties at different times and here we are. Overextended. Huge wealth gap. Ripping inflation. Interest rate hikes that, in my opinion, are just theater as we can't afford to keep hiking them. And as we hike them, the world gets pissed off and moves quicker to a new world currency reserve.

No idea when that will happen, could be 10/20/30/40 years. But trade has already started to shift to other currencies. CBDCs are also underway and for everyone's sake, hopefully they don't get adopted.

The myth is about the reason for the popularity of spices in midieval Europe.

And yes it's busted, because spices were very expensive -- they were luxury. The people who could afford spices were not people who ever found themselves needing to eat rotten meat. And mixing with rotten meat was the last thing you'd do with something as expensive as a spice.

That's a standard phrase to make lawyers happy. It means what whatever else happens and whoever else may claim title to the work OpenAI won't come after you. They are free to put this in their terms of service; many companies will refuse to use it without such a disclaimer.

Where it gets entertaining is in Section 7. Indemnification; Disclaimer of Warranties; Limitations on Liability, which contains the following gem:

(a) Indemnity. You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless us, our
affiliates, and our personnel, from and against any claims, losses, and
expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising from or relating to your use
of the Services, including your Content, products or services you develop
or offer in connection with the Services, and your breach of these Terms
or violation of applicable law. [0]

Unlike normal Terms of Service where the vendor accepts liability and/or indemnifies the user against IP violations or other issues, this clause turns things around. If there's a problem you the user must mount a legal defense for OpenAI. By using Chat GPT you are enrolling in the legion of its defenders.

Who says contract law isn't fun?
