Anyone see news of when it’s planned to go live in copilot?

I've seen a few complaints about the limitations of CAGED so I've been trying to focus on theory rather than just mindlessly learn tricks and regurgitate songs. Having a lot of fun so far.

The book I'm reading (recommended in another comment) does talk about minor forms of CAGED forms, though - pentatonic scale patterns, arpeggio patterns, and chord forms.

Somewhat unrelated: I’m looking for a comprehensive overview of why the CAGED system works on guitar. I see lots of mechanical explanations of how to use it to play various chords down the neck, but nothing explaining the theory behind it.

Yeah, I like a lot about VS code and it feels far less annoying to use. It just sucks that there's no undo equivalent to undo-tree, the Git equivalents are not up to snuff (I just end up using CLI, which is fine I guess). But gptel is also super useful, and there's no good VS code equivalent I've found for that either.

wgrep is nice, I use it very rarely but its useful. I did not know about wdired, looking that up now, looks very cool, you are NOT helping me escape this damned editor..

gptel is great because it does exactly what you would expect and stays up to date with new models from anthropic and openai. Before settling on gptel, I went through FOUR programs that had a lot of buzz but were not being kept up to date with new models!

gptel has joined magit and undo-tree in being so damn useful and reliable that they are keeping me from ditching emacs, even though I want to.

I’ve spent a fair amount of time with Acme because it’s fun, but you’re not misunderstanding anything. Anyone who unironically tries assert the superiority of their niche editor is delusional and/or full of shit. It’s just personal preference.

- Significantly increased mortality risk

- Osteoarthritis due to excess pressure on joints

- Multiple types of cancers (colon, breast, endometrial)

- Depression and anxiety from social stigma

- Reduced mobility and quality of life

- Higher medical costs (~$1,429 more annually per person)[1]

- Decreased workplace productivity

- Shorter life expectancy (can reduce by 5-10 years)

Oh no wait, sorry, those are the effects of obesity.

The library of games suck on Mac, but I realized my backlog has gotten so huge that I will still never run out of games that run well on there. I've got BG3 in my backlog, but I figure I'll wait until I get a new machine in a few years before I try running it.

My work machine is a M2 Max and I have a studio display. Every day I fight the temptation to install Steam and load up No Man's Sky on it...
