> frequently opening boxes, but not constantly.

If you are frequently opening boxes, that spring-loaded mechanism is going to cause repetitive stress injuries. No competent workplace health and safety employee would approve it.

Also, if you are using a utility knife frequently, you likely have a depth you want to keep it. Say I’m installing carpeting. I want to set the razor at a depth for the shag of carpet I’m working on today and have my blade at that depth until I’m done. With a spring load, the only depth that can easily be set is fully out where I’m pushing it all the way. Any intermediate depths will result in me shaking back and forth trying to hold a constant intermediate pressure.

This is a utility knife for someone rich who uses it for the day’s amazons packages because they think using the blade from their scissors is beneath them.

> I'm often impressed by the quality of the UK's open data.

The ordnance survey not being open data is a bad look though.

I mean, why was OpenStreetMap created?

These doors are designed for being chauffeured, not for you to get in at the same time as your driver.

This, if you’re high performing, the company won’t question your use of tokens. If they want to limit it, they have ways to set limits on spend and usage.

The number of countries where life imprisonment is available possible sentence for counterfeiting seems to confirm it having some of the harshest punishments.

> You want real time

Isn’t the point that OpenAI’s use case does not require realtime?

When OpenAI responds, it has most of the audio in advance of when the user needs to hear it. It produces audio faster than real time, so a real time protocol is a bad fit.

Given the Bloomberg article explicitly calls out Vanguard, I don’t think using it as a counter-example is inappropriate.

This article feels overblown.

Here’s a trust that has 250 billion, but reports prices and does many other things the article says isn’t required: https://workplace.vanguard.com/investments/product-details/f...

Not opaque and it has lower fees than the retail S&P 500 funds.

> Only 79… far from a complete human experience

It seems you’re judging his life solely on the age when he died rather than all the things he did.

I routinely have to correct product managers repeatedly on key details of how their products work and how their customers operate so this doesn’t surprise me at all. It is totally a mistake I could see a product management director having been corrected on a dozen times but they keep making it.

GE Capital was not just vendor financing and its serious problems were not due to vendor financing. I don’t think it is a great example in any way.

No, it can level out below that and is (as the parent was saying).

Often an acquisition of a company is for the set of customers. If I sell my lawn care business and then turn around and email all my former clients offering them lawn care via my new company, I’ve just undercut what I just sold.

Noncompete shouldn’t be so broad that I couldn’t move to another city and start a lawn care business there, but I shouldn’t be able to compete directly with the business I just sold using my insider information of that business.

> Even the authors of this study go to great pains to not challenge the dogma that microplastics are existentially terrifying.

What great pains are they going through? The study is a discussion of measurement techniques and makes no comment on whether they are harmful because that’s irrelevant to the paper.

This could just as easily be a paper on how wearing the wrong type of gloves results in overestimating calcium in soil. You’re the one injecting a political agenda.

For livestock other than bees, it is considered unacceptable to starve them or have them attack your neighbors.

I don’t even get the point of this site. They say:

> Most of this spending isn’t waste. Hospitals need staff. Universities need facilities. Even small charities need people to run programs. The problem isn’t intent. It’s that the reporting system was designed to satisfy the IRS, not to show donors where their money went.

The complaint seems to be that the form filed with the IRS has the information the IRS is interested in, not the information whoever made the site wants.

The reality is that I know how the places I donate my money and time to use their money because I’m not relying on their IRS filings to get that information. I would suggest others do the same and donate to places where they understand what the org is doing and where the money is going.

They still do, they just call it insurance.

> one company ends up classed a "supply chain risk" while another agrees the the same terms that led to that

Never discount the possibility of Hegseth being petty and doing the OpenAI deal with the same terms to imply to the world that Anthropic is being unreasonable because another company signed a deal with him.

It is not a Trumpism. As an example, it has been on Wiktionary since 2008, well before Trump.

> nobody seemed to have released a version people could actually easily use

Yet I’ve known many people who have said it is difficult to use; this was a 0.01-0.1% adoption tool. There is still a huge ease of use gap to cross to make it adopted in 10-50% of computer users.

Deepmind’s Nobel Prize was primarily for its performance in CASP which is pretty much exactly this. Labs solve structures of proteins, but don’t publish them until after all the computational teams predict structures.

So I’m not sure where you’re coming from claiming that this isn’t scientific.

Novo will also sell you the auto-injector Wegovy directly starting at $199/month. And the pill starting at $149/month.

GLP-1 drugs don’t require marketing. There are tons of people who have been prescribed them and aren’t being covered by insurance. Both Novo and Eli Lily are now selling them direct to consumers with prescriptions that don’t have insurance coverage.

> xAI had an oversubcribed fund raise in January

My understanding is that it was not oversubscribed and would not have closed without Tesla’s investment.

I would hope SpaceX is using more efficient solar cells than the ISS

It is more than 5x less expensive to get surface area on earth’s surface.

MiniMax is a company. It isn’t a term of art or something. It would be like defining Anthropic.

I wasn’t aware that “ managing data and communications with participants” is considered to be funding the protests.

Nothing the bending spoons ceo said isn’t true. They are still operating Vimeo.
