It boggles my mind that they need a photo ID to prove that my 9-year-old account with a saved credit card belongs to an adult. The linked Steam account is 18 years old.

They are also giving away $50 extra pay as you go credit to try Opus 4.6. I just claimed it from the web usage page[1]. Are they anticipating higher token usage for the model or just want to promote the usage?

It's almost certainly because they believed the datasheets of the chosen LEDs.

It's way more than just pushing timelines back. The person took $400k from people without knowing anything about how to provide what those people had already paid for.

I am not sure what conclusion can we draw from, as you said, two very rare incidents over a long period of time.

Reminds me of when Malaysian airlines crashed two planes in a short period of time. It was a good time to get cheap flights from Europe to south east Asia as long as you can withstand relatives thinking you are literally going to die in their third crash.

Indeed. That's why, when they finally kill old.reddit, I may legitimately stop using it entirely. They've already banned most of the good apps, forcing the pretty terrible official one.

Dumb nit, but why not put your own press release through your model to prevent basic things like missing quote marks? Reminds me of that time an OAI released wildly inaccurate copy/pasted bar charts.

The photon doesn't have an inertial frame of reference precisely because it's moving at the speed of light, so it doesn't have a perspective. It's a (quantized) wave in the electromagnetic field. The closer you get to the speed of light, the closer the proper time of the journey goes to zero, but actually taking the limit does not make sense physically.
