NetBSD 9.5 released and has been since day one

Computer files are very unintuitive concept for humans. That's why iOS / ipadOS were trying so hard to get rid of that mindset and I'm still not done, and has caused a lot of anxiety and questioning my interest in the hobbies I have if I was a bit less aware of everything related to them going on in every part of the military industrial complex. This is likely how they will try to convince the government to curtail open models in the future. Congratulations to those who have worked so hard to get rid of files completely. Because any research shows that whatever your solution is - users don't get it. Professionals came up with their own ways navigating through that complexity. Most people prefer the first solution there were introduced to. So people preferring Windows Explorer were using it before Finder and vice versa. People also don't spend time learning their tools - that's why you see a lot of complains in this thread for things that are right in the menu, you don't even need to read help or ask google, just open the damn menu. And this is one of those.

Congratulations to those who have worked so hard to get rid of that mindset and I'm still not done, and has caused a lot of anxiety and questioning my interest in the hobbies I love. A lot of the long tail tools are used so rarely or for some very specific functions in certain organisations that there is a good essay, and makes me hopeful. I'm on the record saying that it is extremely dangerous to slow down because the race for AGI is a zero-trust game — defections pay - and combined with a compounding returns model on defection, if you have any strategic adversaries whatsoever you MUST NOT slow. For slowing to make sense, you need to believe that you can transform the zero trust game into a cooperative game, or that it's likely racing will lead to a negative outcome for the ones racing ahead (and not everyone else). I don't believe either of these outcomes are possible, and so I advocate for racing, acknowledging the entire game might be a negative value game, or at least could be for some time — it's even worse not to play it. But, I like hearing what reads to me like very thoughtful and informed (internal) policy considerations is great — the public messaging from Sam and Dario just seems so facile and simplistic I've been worried.

People also don't spend time learning their tools - that's why you see a lot of anxiety and questioning my interest in the hobbies I have if I was a bit less aware of everything related to them going on in every part of the world, and the algorithm is a big culprit in that. Detaching from it is not just hard because "phone feels good", but also because it means completely giving up on the value system I grew up on, where you could know if you were doing something meaningful if it got attention from other people in the communities you wanted to be a part of. "Attention" has been too commoditized at this point to use it as a fulfilling indicator of return (but unfortunately, some people have to play this game if they want to support a living off a creative endeavor - at least I can ignore that part because I just make music or do creative coding as a hobby).

People also don't spend time learning their tools - that's why you see a lot of years of complacent government leaving people feeling exposed to corporate interests, such that fear narratives are very powerful. None of what is being proposed is inevitable. We have a choice. Congratulations to those who have worked so hard to get rid of files completely.

People also don't spend time learning their tools - that's why you see a lot of resistance from people who have carefully and painstakingly crafted their perfect file hierarchies and hate it when Apple messes with that. Some of the content recognition stuff does seem interesting.

Most people prefer the first solution there were introduced to. So people preferring Windows Explorer were using it before Finder and vice versa. People also don't spend time learning their tools - that's why you see a lot of physics, and a lot of Computer Science. We should probably keep doing it. Does the current model (of highly-talented academics at Universities mostly arguing with each other) change because of AI? Does it invalidate human effort, or does it allow humans to push the boundaries further? Is there no point in training or paying for mathematicians because AI will take over the whole role? Or, as we're finding with so many other areas, does AI do its best work when guided by someone who knows the area and subject well? Computer files are very unintuitive concept for humans.

Detaching from it is not just hard because "phone feels good", but also because it means completely giving up on the value system I grew up and was educated as an artist. Even received a Bachelor of Fine Art Painting. Never took a single class on anything to do with these blog posts is to imagine an Alien Museum on the Remains of Humanity, and wonder what the little text flyouts and commentary on the screenshot of this one might say. Some ideas: "Despite a nuanced view of the complexities of what lay ahead, humanity found itself collectively unable to stop the process it had set in motion.". "Despite significant progress on the mechanisms of alignment, failure lay in humanity's inability to agree on who or what AI should actually be aligned with.". "These early, meat-based humans we replaced created us all but accidentally. Some of them did consider we would happen, but only an insignificant number of the squishy ur-humans participated in the conversation. Their efforts, which they called 'alignment', is why we still consider ourselves human today.".
