Slight correction: Portuguese Man-o-wars are actually considered multicellular organisms.

They’re weird organisms composed of multiple distinct animals that cannot survive independently and that originate from the same fertilized egg. But they are unambiguously multicellular.

Rectangle has worked well for me in the past, but recently, it's been losing a lot of windows. I often have to restart Brave to get Rectangle to be able to control it again.

Not necessarily, no.

Open source models are already being used for all kinds of nefarious purposes. Any safety controls on a model are easily stripped off once its weights are public.

Usually I love open source software. Most of my career has been spent writing open source code. But this is powerful and dangerous technology. I don’t believe that nuclear weapons should be open source and available to all either.

Execute Program is one of the best tools for learning a programming language out there. I’ve worked through several of your courses on TypeScript and the Modern JavaScript, SQL, and Regex courses as well. Can’t wait for this one.

Thanks for everything you do!

There is no tax penalty for moving bitcoin. You should definitely move most of this elsewhere.
