I think that companies doing mass layoffs should have to do an environmental assessment on the consequences of this action and be fined according to their overall asset valuation.

So Denmark's Open Source test seems to have failed because Microsoft has so many badly documented and poorly implemented features in MS Office that the software breaks every competitor. Sounds almost like a hostage situation.

My first paper went well today. Unlike my classmates, my professor was literally like "I don't have any notes to give you beyond small grammar I'm not too concerned about, you did a good job" and then started telling me specific things he really liked like the amount of detailed examples I gave.

I finished writing the paper, with his approval over the final two paragraphs, by like halfway through class and just kind of sat around making finicky edits to kill time while he helped the other two students who were still working on their papers.

↳ In reply to a post

now I can pull documentation for non-elisp functions and variables! that wasn’t as painful as I’d feared, for eldoc and helpful at least. there’s probably a bit more patching to go, this is the one part that feels fragile because it defines advice across a couple other packages I don’t control

anyway I should do that eval-buffer replacement huh!

AI is just a marketing stunt because it doesn't truly get it. It just plays into the market where it stands, resulting in a jumble of things. It lacks the capability to focus on what actually matters. What are your thoughts? Drop them below.
