Neat! I'm pretty sure I created my account the day that that account creation was possible, as did you apparently!

Ohh good point! In fact, we shouldn't even tell them there might be hallucinations at all. I'm sure the IRB will be fine with that, I'll get right on it!

Of course this invites the wacky hypothesis that the mushrooms enable the person eating them to perceive something that is real but hidden somehow. I propose to test this by having multiple people take it in the same time and place, and then independently produce detailed descriptions of the specific tiny people that they see. They will either match or they won't, and then we'll have the answer.

We must get to the bottom of this!

The Atari VCS was $199 on launch in 1977, which is $1139 in 2026 dollars. By no means does this excuse the collusion and price gouging that is going on with PC component pricing, though.

Most large corporations hugely benefit from public subsidies of one form or another, it's time for an accounting of that and that should be translated into public equity.

AI companies in particular are standing on the shoulders of massive public investment in technology and infrastructure, it's time for the public to directly benefit from that investment.

I'd like to see it more diverse than just AI companies, though.

well once they crossed 2 billion the signed integer representation made losses into profits

$499 is pretty nuts for this. Kids will hate it no matter what*, but if it were $99 they would probably sell way more than 5x the units. Seems like they think they are marketing to adults that have enough self awareness that they have a "problem" with social media, but something like this would make more sense as a first phone for a kid, but the price is too high for that.

For a $499 "minimal phone" I would want something crazy like an iPhone style form factor but with a color e-ink display and an open source OS, not this.

*Also, kids hating it is, you know, bad for the brand.

they don't have to make a profit on the investment. The investment is defensive. The goal is not to be outside the moat.

instead of explaining to my boss why he caught me spinning on my chair and stacking office supplies into Jenga towers as "I'm waiting for the compiler to finish" I can now tell him I'm waiting for claude to get back to me.

I was looking forward to tokenising the Swiss citizen. There would be fewer of them than bitcoins and not growing in populations, so by the same logic bitcoinETF use they would appreciate. And they are even backed by gold. Dang.. I'd have made a fortune.

If this was an Apple thing the program wouldn't run at all after the cutoff, in this case it runs but you just can't create documents.

Also, the MacOS controls for digitally signed executables can be bypassed rather easily, so if that were the cause, users could just bypass it and run it anyway, which appears to not be the case here.

I work in IT at a hospital. Dell Latitude 3420 and 3430 laptops have to be held carefully to avoid having the plastic crack simply because of the weight of the laptop. We have had to replace multiple top and bottom panels because of this. If you pick it up while its open, with two hands towards the front of the laptop, and then so much as move it a little in the air, the plastic shell noticeably flexes. We have been trying to train users to close the laptop before moving it, and to always hold it more towards the middle to avoid this.

Yes, I know the user is ultimately at fault here, but this can be an expensive issue for organizations with lots of laptops and lots of users, so it is often worth it to look for better build quality. Fortunately, the newer models have been a bit better in this regard, but it's always an up and down cycle with how they constantly try to see just how much cheapening they can get away with.
