Millions of junior developers will now have to read the manual. What a day.
They'll have to google. Only dinosaurs read manuals.

I live in a modern mid-rise in Dallas.
Same experience. Most noise comes from people in the hallways because a solid wood door does not insulate sound.
Traffic noise could be improved with triple pane windows, but really it's just un-restricted mufflers that penetrate, and that should be handled by the city.
I viewed an apartment recently that had quadruple pane windows! The aparment faced a noisy freeway. They worked quite well.

I just want to be able to turn the screen off on my Pixel 8 when it's on its wireless charging stand at night.
The closest I can get to 'off' is this ridiculous setting: Very dim display (for dark rooms).
(guessing)
They want a minimum that is visible, even during the day, so people don't think their phone is broken.

Same. I am eager to run my code editing benchmark [1] against it, to compare it with gpt-4-0314 and gpt-4-0613.
Edit: Ha, I just re-read the announcement [2] and it says 1pm in the 5th sentence:
We’ll begin rolling out new features to OpenAI customers starting at 1pm PT today.

"begin".
Other comments says this can take days to get to everyone.

I seem to recall a study that showed, per hour worked to get into medicine, that being a physician did not pay particularly well.
Consider opportunity costs for all those hours spent studying. Salary, in isolation, is not a sufficient measure.

start-up idea if anyone is bored: disrupt car shipping. When I moved from Seattle to Raleigh shipping my car was BY FAR the biggest headache. It's a 20th century business where you have to call people, who will bid for you, and you have no idea if your bid is accepted. Agents will promise a low price to get your business, then tell you a week later that bid was too low, you need to double it. I eventually just gave up and drove it cross country.
too small a market to be worth investing.

This piece of advice hits me weird:
> For crates where you don’t need or want new features, bug fixes etc, you could consider pinning their versions.
It seems to me that you should _always_ pin your dependency versions. I'd go so far as to say that build tools shouldn't even have an option to automatically pull the latest - "version" should be a required field for all dependencies (and, ideally, that gets decorated with a hash after the first download).
Yes this means you might miss out on security fixes that you'd otherwise get automatically. But having the code that you run & ship change absent your intention just feels like a bizarre default approach.

When I'm developing, I frequently grab latest versions. Until i share, I want to keep up to date.

They are all very pretty, but they are also the sort of photograph that it's hard to spot errors in. What color should it be? What is the texture of the rocks? I have no idea. This could be an accurate picture or an inaccurate one, I have no way of knowing.
Picture of the human face are best for picking up artifacts. You'll spot anything wrong almost immediately, you have hardware for that.
I don't know what happened between then and now. I don't have kids so I don't know how people make decisions about them. I know a big part of it is fear of child abductions and getting hit by cars. I think it's just an irrational fear of those things (or bullying or using drugs) that slowly led to tightening the leash on kids. Today I rarely see kids doing anything in public without a helicopter parent within 50-ft. One of the middle schools I drove by allows one child to leave the door, go straight to their parents car, before the next car pulls up. They aren't even allowed to walk home unsupervised.
