A friend, and fellow volunteer committee member of a local community group, uses ChatGPT to write his messages in the committee WhatsApp channel. I just don't read them.

Last night, I came across a video with a title in English and an "Autodubbed" tag. I assumed it would be dubbed into English (my language) from some other language. But it wasn't. It was in French, and clearly the creator&#x2

What on earth are people buying that's delivered so frequently? I find the whole concept of frequent deliveries confusing.

At what point did you decide that I have employees? I find that I work better in an office, depending on the office. I'm in no position to enforce that position on anyone. (I'm currently unemployed and looking for work, in fact.)

That is a very strange (and very emotional) take. I find it easier to focus with some other people around me, so long as they're being quiet. An office (or a library) is easier to work in than my house. I also really like the idea of s

And ostentatiously not naming them has a similar effect. You could have just said "people".

Except that it's called the Isis at that point, not the Thames.

I think you're working too hard to be pithy and are therefore forgetting to actually communicate.

I'm now feeling slightly odd that I read all three posts without even noticing the capitalisation.

I'm not aware of any limitations in the Tinymist plugin. And you can just write it in the plain text editor of your choice, and keep an eye on the PDF with typst watch.

The first four paragraphs of the judgment lay out most of it. Matthew Garrett's summary at https://nondeterministic.computer/@mjg59/115581959497817474 is as follows: > In and around 2023, Roy and Rianne Schesto

When I next have a working laptop (I currently use a desktop and a phone), I'll probably stick on a Linux sticker and something from Discworld (probably the "Anthill Inside" sticker, intended for that purpose).

Instagram, for me, is mostly parkour and World Chase Tag clips. I don't love the way it's designed, but it isn't "doomy" (yet).

That domain looks very interesting in the address bar of a mobile browser which hides the www prefix.

Nah. He just did a broad spectrum broadcast which any receiver in the area would pick up. Today, it'd probably be illegal. Tom Scott made a video about it, and mentioned that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP2qqMegNKA

We have that saying in English, too, except that we quote it in French. "Après moi, le déluge."

I doubt it's an intentional strategy, or particularly related to EEE.

This actually is surprising. Not the racism. I'm not surprised by the racism. But I am surprised by how casual, careless, and blatant it is.

More relevantly, take the swapping of full stops and commas (and the position of the currency sign) between Ireland and Germany, which use the same currency. €1,000.48 = 1.000,48€

I believe that it's uncommon in the USA to invite people to part of a wedding, but it's common in the UK. "Not someone invited to the whole day" implies a second-tier guest, who's been invited to the ceremony and th

Weirdly, this website is one of the example references in the Typst documentation.

I've been using Typst to create some good-looking agendas for my Toastmasters club. [1] I've found it a lot of fun, and have received a fair few compliments. [1]: https://typst.app/project/rmyyeU17y51rl6ISSqGj

The free online version doesn't have private packages. You are, of course, free to run the compiler locally with as many private packages as your heart desires.

I've said that in Typst, when you're writing, it feels like writing, and when you're programming, it feels like programming. Whereas LaTeX always feels almost, but not quite, entirely unlike programming.

Yup. And it's refreshing to see this thread, as so much of HN seems to be entrepreneurs. I was laid off over two years ago. There were so many other tech layoffs at around the same time that finding a job has been very difficult. I ran
