Depending on how the next trading day goes, this could be a bit more than "this happens about once quarter". From to the FT:

> Its shares fell more than 10 per cent in after-hours trading[...] The share price drop, if sustained, would wipe more than $400bn from the group’s market value, the largest single-day loss in the company’s history.

> could in theory be sold today to raise a trillion dollars in cash

Nothing worth a trillion bucks can be sold today. :)

Also, this does include things like property and equipment ($375bn), which I'm guessing are essential for running the business.

That aside, GOOG does hold $265bn in cash and near cash, which is clearly a lot of money.

> no lockout if you aren't employed anymore

But, I imagine, no stock either?

Wait, I don't quite follow the logic. How is charging car owners (and only car owners) more money the same as investing into auto transport? Does the state have to use the extra money in a certain way?

I have no idea whether it's feasible, but having a direct feedback mechanism would be pretty awesome.

But if a display only officially supports black & white, its driver just needs to know the duration of the slowest transition across the operating temperature range. It could then use that duration for all transitions, regardless of the temperature.

Great work. I loved the technical innovations.

For the grayscale, I'm guessing each physical display would need to be individually calibrated? I also wonder whether the calibration is sensitive to environmental factors, i.e. gets out of whack if the display is too hot or too cold.

For me, the word salad on the front page isn't helping.

Or, as Matt Levine put it, "We will create God and then ask it for money."

That's insane. What type of company are you at? (Or even the actual company if you're OK sharing.)

"We give a deterministic algorithm that computes the discrete Fourier transform at every length n in O ( n ( log ⁡ n ) ** (1 − 10 ** −13)) operations. The model uses exact complex arithmetic, unrestricted coefficients, specified Fourier roots, and unit-cost logarithmic-size indexing; scalar preparation and array organization are included."

> Anthropic's revenue is up 50% in the past two months

What's the source for such recent revenue numbers?

And 50% over what -- two months ago, same months last year etc?
