Just a word of caution, 25g has a very strong chance of causing intense bloating. I'm part of multiple athletic teams, and the general consensus is that more than 10g is generally "uncomfortable" for its bloat pressure effects.

"Showing off revenue and number of accounts is showing off a tiny portion of the picture"

Showing revenue is not "tiny" by any means. Considering that the vast majority of businesses hide this from the public, I think it's very notably "something larger than tiny".

"but practically speaking [they] are broke"

How do you know this?

That's very notable and left out of the announcement.

Did you not scroll over to see the even more massive Kola Superdeep Borehole?

How do I know if this is worthwhile without any benchmarks against 'not using Superpowers'?

I feel this in my soul. I thought I could replace a door in a day, but months of fiddling, I discovered by frame is not only a parallelogram but it literally shifts by over an inch between seasons. (~100yr old house 2nd floor)

Not _my_ opinion, but I just wanted to share that many people (in the Midwest) do believe that anything synthetic that it not readily made from simple materials has "less soul". It's a sorta test of "if I dropped you off in the jungle, can you still produce works of soul? Or are you just another cog in the machine.".

Look, I'm not defending MS, but this feels like such a non-story. Every AI company wants people to love their product to use it as much as possible. EVERY game company every has wanted people to be addicted to their project. The context isn't "hypnotise people to use our AI against their will" but rather within Office products to make their AI so useful that people are 'addicted' to use it for all office work. This seems far less nefarious than the title.

Zig's MultiArrayList is a cool language feature to support objects of collections, and I wish more languages had first class support for it (without overhead of copy's).

I LOVE how the C64 OS was a programming language (BASIC). Even if you used the hardware the gaming, you had to learn a little bit of programming (LOAD "*",8,1).

I had the same Tandy 1000 SX and also a Commodore 64. My parents did not approve of video game, so outside of pacman, these were equipment to learn programming when I was in my single digits. My major complaint of today's computers is that they are getting harder to harder to 'learn' coding. When you used the Commodore for example, the interface was the programming language. In a way, you HAD to learn a little bit of programming to even use it. iOS devices for a long time made local development an impossibility, although the situation has improved a bit since the early days (still no JIT allowed, but I digress).
