I think you nailed it. The capex is desperation in the hopes of maintaining the curve. I have heard actual AI researchers say progress is slowing, just not from the big companies directly.

Are filenames likely to include those representations? I feel like probably not (can you even include commas in Windows filenames?)

More to the point of the article--if you want things sorted by date, sort by date. I think most laypeople aren't looking at long CHAR1234_5678 filenames anyway, they're looking at thumbnails and dates.

> can you even include commas in Windows filenames?

Yes.

Unfortunately it doesn't work. When I copy the files, they all get new dates in whatever random order they happened to be copied in.

The most common date format used in Europe uses period separators so can often appear in filenames. Commas are probably more rare. Things like versions are often fractional like v1.3 or v1.11 and can appear embedded in filenames.

That's not fractional though.

Proper fractional, 1.11 is smaller than 1.3.

In versions, 1.11 is larger than 1.3

And that would sort correctly with both methods, though, especially when each "field" is delineated (e.g. Show.S0XE0Y.Episode.Name.HEVC.1080p.mkv)

You’re saying that files with s1e10 and s1e9 would place 9 first?

I think the point is to prevent Ruby Central from owning it, not using it

So all the tracking code gets outsourced

He went on the Internet and said London is worse because it's less white than before. That's at least mild white supremacism

Basically any pizza is better than Lou's though :)

Be very careful about your next few words. ;-)

I don't really think this is what happened. Seems pretty straightforward: Shopify wants to decide not just who runs RubyGems.org, but also the RubyGems repos. Separate teams (well, formerly)

Exactly this

Thank you for reminding me about a subscription i accidentally signed up for and need to go cancel.

If a card i didn't explicitly authorize for a recurring charge was charged like this, I'd be livid. Different cards are used for different things for real reasons.
