    I wonder if there is a health hazard wearing this due to breathing in spores or toxins released into the air? Or perhaps there is a risk that the wearer will absorb harmful chemica…

    To be fair it only claimed "near self-repairing".

    I think I have watched Star Trek: TNG all the way through 3 times with my kids already. They also love Deep Space 9.

    It was happier, with plenty of opportunity for everyone and society felt like it was held up on common ground. It defnately felt bigger, because it was.

    > Any, and I mean any, attempt to remake this show is doomed to failure I second that. Please, for the love of all good things, do not remake the X-Files, or Firefly.

    It would be interestingi to know if AI is less likely to follow rules if the instructions provided to it contain foul or demeaning language. Too bad we couldn't re-play the scenari…

    Appreciate this breakdown and the disclosure. +1 for highlighting that PR quality is the bottleneck. Garbage-in/garbage-out is exactly what I ran into and it’s why I’m planning to …

    I agree that the best quality notes are the ones hand written by a thoughtful human. In my case we had about two years of history with no curated notes, and writing that by hand wo…

    I agree with the philosophy of curating release notes for the consumer of the release. When I first started looking for a release notes strategy, I was considering towncrier for th…

    Yeah, that matches what I have seen: if the upstream metadata isn’t reliable, automation can amplify the mess. I tried to avoid relying solely on contributors to accurately label o…

    Comment #46592073

    +1 on separating "how to upgrade" due to breaking changes from "what’s new". A dedicated BREAKING.md / MIGRATIONS.md is a really good idea. One thing I am trying to do is make the …

    I hear what you are saying, there is a risk that auto-generated release notes end up as PR-title soup. I put a lot of effort in my script to mitigate against that. If you are willi…

    Comment #46590950

    That has been my concern as well. The script I wrote tries to bucket entries into categories, including "Backward Incompatible Change" so those are easier to spot. Since it is auto…

    Ask HN: How do you automate your release notes?

    How are you generating release notes in your projects? I just had to backfill a year of docs release notes for an OSS repo. I ended up writing a small release tag driven generator:…

    I am curious what are people using for release notes in their own projects? Towncrier, GitHub Releases, something else? If anyone tries my script on their repo and runs into issues…

    Show HN: Tag driven changelog generator (MDX) with optional LLM summaries

    I built a tag-driven changelog generator for an OSS project I maintain and used it to backfill our 2025 docs changelog. It walks git tags, finds merged PRs between releases, bucket…

    I realize cache segregation is mainly about security/compliance and tenant isolation, not protecting secret prompts. Still, if someone obtained access to a company’s prompt templat…
