[12:29] schestowitz[TR2] I wonder if / how our Morse output could be tuned to make it more useful [12:29] schestowitz[TR2] to people out there. But that would require feedback from someone in the [12:29] schestowitz[TR2] CW community. [12:29] schestowitz[TR2] " [12:30] schestowitz[TR2] i have an unproven theory [12:30] schestowitz[TR2] many people become too overworked to reply to mail [12:30] schestowitz[TR2] EVEN if they read it [12:49] schestowitz[TR2] " [12:49] schestowitz[TR2] I think many accounts fail to receive the mails. I've had to follow up [12:49] schestowitz[TR2] many important communications with SMS and phone calls and the recipients [12:49] schestowitz[TR2] claim to never have gotten the mail. Others reply every third or fourth [12:49] schestowitz[TR2] e-mail. Then of those that do get the e-mail, theyu are unable to process [12:49] schestowitz[TR2] it correctly or easily due to ignorant or stubborn use of web mail UIs [12:49] schestowitz[TR2] instead of proper, dedicated mail clients. That last point is important. [12:49] schestowitz[TR2] It's part of the micrsoftianism which aims to keep people overworked [12:49] schestowitz[TR2] and treading water so that they don't have time or strength to step out [12:49] schestowitz[TR2] of line.

    [14:47] schestowitz[TR2]

    Developers report a major performance boost, with internal tests showing speeds up by about 32% and lower memory use compared to the last version. Clip rendering, timeline actions, FFmpeg decoding, and effects like crop, mask, brightness, and saturation all improved significantly. Exporting is now about 23% faster thanks to changes that reduce CPU load during the export process.

    I agree with you that the primacy of the claims implies that definitions or statements only found in the description may not be read into the claims esp. to overcome prior art.
