Another solid interpretation is that nobody gets a billion in wages. You have to own something that appreciates, and it appreciates because of the people who work for you, and you take disproportionately much of the benefit.
"It's impossible to earn a billion" means it's impossible to work hard enough to deserve to have a billion dollars in a world where so many people died for lack of money, not that it's impossible to get it without cheating.
Figure 2 is beautiful!
It's about time. Google is doing so much to keep the web usable. They're the only ones with the teeth to back up standards for mobile web load time, max sender spam rates, leaving browser history alone, etc.

Re: unsettling Perhaps it could replace any characters that will go on to be deleted with astrisks.
This is the paragraph that grabbed my attention. I wasn't expecting to find something so human.
I remember coming to the realization during my more challenging school years that waiting all week for Saturday to come was literally wishing my life away. I didn't know what burnout was at the time, but an angel of a friend recognized it and helped me understand.
I can't recommend enough ordering a $10 collapsible ball pen. My son understood even at age 2 that some toys needed to be played with in his play pen, and it means I can let him play with toys with hundreds of pieces and then scoop them all up at once.
I'm 0% convinced. You can tell from a color palate whether some wallpaper was from the 70's or 80's, but that tells you nothing about the economic conditions and everything about what colors were in style.
Amazon's Price History feature certainly doesn't need to open their AI assistant, but in addition to be graph I came for, I get a little summary of the graph. I really hope they aren't using an LLM for that when all it's doing is telling me it's the lowest price in 30 days.
Neopets itself. Codepen and Khan Academy also let you share your HTML/CSS creations, and they add support for JS, but they don't have the game/pets elements that make coding petpages fun.

These datasets are all biased towards work published in the digital age, but it's important to note that work is coming out much faster now than it used to.
On one hand, I want bigger pockets that fit my iPhone, and on the other hand, I want smaller iPhones that fit in one female-sized hand.
I'm still waiting for them to collaborate with Levi's to bring iPhone sized pockets to women's jeans.
We use Slack and GitHub, so it's trivial to send formatted text or a file/line link and I basically never have to deal with screenshots of text. I guess this is just a nice reminder for me to be grateful.
I've certainly noticed a bit of a pattern where programmers who can listen to podcasts or lyrics while they code (I can't; I rely too much on my verbal center for coding) can operate much faster and solve more complex problems than your average bear. They're rare, so I don't have enough data to feel certain, but I have a suspicion that sometimes they're forced into it by living in noisy environments where tuning out the words or thinking without them makes more sense.
Probably related to today's massive AWS outage
Perfect! I like the percentage and daysweeks remaining features.
Both collaboration and history are killer features. I'm going to have to try this out at work!
Days/weeks elapsed/remaining and approximate size. Some tell you info about pregnancy symptoms by week or month as well, but that's less important to me the second time around.
I gave up on finding a pregnancy tracker with no sign in, let alone no ads, so I guess this is what I'm using now!
Financially, it's a bit of a wash because this affects their competition just as much as it affects them. Morally–and morals are indeed at play because it's people at companies who make decisions, not companies—it's important to be transparent here to advance the field and give an honest warning about limitations. Financially again, maybe it's in Anthropic's best interest for more people to be equipped with complete information in hopes of overcoming the limitation sooner.

In femtoseconds!
I got a tour of the lab during construction. As a software engineer, what I found most incredible about the project was how well they stuck to their delivery proposal and timeline over the course of five years of development.
Agreed. I was in eighth grade and even I knew Apple was making an ApplePhone.
Why would holding a pen stop me from losing things? Seems like I'd just end up losing the pen too. Ooooooh, a holding pen.
Destroying it should be legal. Writing that off as a loss should be considered fraud, especially when there's an offer for it.
As of right now, it costs $9,039.55 to buy one of everything on the list.
Gmail postmaster tools says, "This dashboard shows the percentage of user-reported spam vs emails that were sent to the inbox for active users. Emails delivered directly to the spam folder are not included in the spam rate calculation. Only emails authenticated by DKIM are eligible for spam-rate calculation."
The threshold for the number defined above is 0.3%; that's the point where Gmail starts penalizing the sender by putting their emails in spam folders.
