#Bazel 6.0 was just released!

I spent some time (okay, a lot of time) reviewing all of the commits since Bazel 5.4, and wrote up a blog post summarizing the ones I found interesting: https://brentley.dev/whats-new-in-bazel-6.0/

What’s new in Bazel 6.0

I reviewed over 3,100 commits and summarized them, again 😅, so you don’t have to!

Just tried ChatGPT. I asked it a series of specific Qs about areas I've studied in detail.

On all Qs, it gave answers that are plausible sounding but wrong. Not obviously wrong: wrong in subtle ways that need deep domain knowledge to grasp.

The ways humans will be practically misled by this kind of tech if trusted with, say, doling out medical, legal or business advice is horrific.

Letting this tech loose on the world will further destroy search engines that are already riddled with SEO BS.

Hey friends,

I just published "#BelieveInFilm — a Film Photography Community," a recollection of my experience with our prolific and open online community:

https://www.analog.cafe/r/believeinfilm-a-film-photography-community-hukh

Thank you all who helped me bring it to life with your answers, and @believeinfilm for sharing his story.

Let me know if I got any part wrong, it's not written in stone :)

#BelieveInFilm — a Film Photography Community

The story of a genuinely open online community for film photographers.

The new @intellijidea User Interface in 2022.3 is really cool!

I chose this opportunity to transition to "tabs-free" mode… because tabs are, let's be honest, productivity killers when you use a lot keyboard shortcuts!

See for more details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kDMr5SGBBc

Thank you @intellijidea for the great work on this release!

So I have an experimental #relay running on https://relay.techisland.social/inbox -- now what do I do with it?

My initial interest was getting some code written again, which was fun (to my knowledge there is no #Java based relay implementation available yet). Open sourcing the code is an option (requires some more work).

But the more I thought about relays, the less I see a good way of using them.

In any case, if anyone wants to connect, let me know. Follow requests need approval. #mastoadmin

On the birdside/site, my following was not as diverse as I wanted it to be. Here I don't know any tools to check, yet I want to actively work on a more diverse group right from the start:

- more women
- more non western people
- more BIPOC
- more neurodiversity
(in agile, tech, etc)

Will you boost this so I can find more of these people?

Thanks.
