Can you explain what you mean by this?
You can see an example of the Chain of Thought in the post, it's quite extensive. Presumably they don't want to release this so that it is raw and unfiltered and can better monitor for cases of manipulation or deviation from training. What GP is also referring to is explicitly stated in the post: they also aren't release the CoT for competitive reasons, so that presumably competitors like Anthropic are unable to use the CoT to train their own frontier models.
I’ve been using Arc as my main browser for the last few months and it is phenomenal. Congrats to the team
Agreed. It's mainlined a lot of plugins that I used to use in Chrome and default keyboard shortcuts that I would have chosen myself. Window management, spaces, and automated tab lifecycles are by far the most valuable features I use.

also my bank hasn't gone insolvent yet
"Yet" is the operative word. Many banks were insolvent in 2008, or have we so quickly forgotten the lessons from the housing crisis.

That definitely is an alternative and is something I used to do. The reason I like the focus time feature (if implemented the way I suggest) is that the goal is to instill this culture across the team so that it's more of a team/company culture and less of something that just you do.
I'd love to hear people's experience trying this out!
I do this regularly, and to the extent that I'm able I put the task in the description so that my team knows more or less what I'm prioritizing. You can also create recurring OOO and Focus Time events now, so I have lunch blocked off and 30min at the end of each day to prepare for the next. It's a secret super power to staying on top of things and creating rituals that help me sign off at a reasonable hour instead of sliding into unproductively and less time with family.
Really, my only gripe with Google Calendar at this point is that you can't define custom colors nor label those colors. I use that feature heavily now to give me an at a glance view of which projects or activities my time is going to on a weekly basis. The colors don't have consistency across months though because I have to re-use colors for different purposes.
This is only inspirationally relevant, but a few weeks ago, I saw a crow (or a raven, never quite sure) holding a stick, floating without moving, on top of Twin Peaks in SF, like it was waiting to give a wand to a wizard. When I got home, I wrote this weird little story about it: https://f52.charlieharrington.com/stories/a-great-unkindness...
> I saw a crow (or a raven, never quite sure)
Assuming you mean it's difficult to tell the difference, as opposed to just in this case:
Telling them apart is fairly straightforward! Crows are smaller, have a flatter tail, and typically flap quite a bit during flight. Ravens, by comparison, are much larger in size, have a diamond-shaped tail that moves quite a bit during flight, and typically glide during flight.
Love the whole family of corvids :D as well as your story!
Oh this is amazing. Very cool.
Agreed, this made my day! Such a fun idea and well executed.
ffreire commented on Ask HN: What Linux Desktop Environment do you use on tablets? · Posted by u/kvgroa
I've used Slackware, Void Linux, Debian, Arch. Slackware and Void Linux I found really nice technically. However, I'm currently using latest Ubuntu simply because of the popularity, which translates to large ecosystem and minimum setup required for basic things.
I'm not a fan of how Ubuntu does things, but I'm at a point in my life where I want something that's fire-and-forget. Certainly wasn't the case before, might not be the case in the future. You'll be making some kind of compromises when choosing your computing environment. Be upfront with what you can compromise and what you can't and choosing will be easier.
I find that Linux devotees often leave out the compromises they've made in their computing choices. Thank you for stating yours, it helps contextualize the reasons for choosing Ubuntu!
I don't see ligatures solving any important problem. If you think they do, I'd rather change syntax highlighting to recognize !== and others as a single token.
It's like multi-select in text editors. When you think about it, it's actually an inferior form of search&replace. Inferior because it interacts badly with off-screen matches. I find arguments of kakoune users unconvincing.
My personal opinion is - and I'm fine taking negative karma for this - that ligatures mostly appeal to the front-end developers among us. To the people who abuse the words "beautiful" and "gorgeous", and admire web pages which have a single text column using up 1/3 of screen width.
This is a curious position to take given that it's mostly a personal choice. People will like what they like, and that's perfectly fine! No need to denigrate frontend devs, or anyone, for a stylistic choice.
