They’re unwilling to pay for fast mode because of the current step function price increase once you hit your quota. It’s a psychological effect. Because most shops I know in the US currently paying $125/mo per seat for Claude would happily - HAPPILY - pay 2x, and begrudgingly pay 10x that amount for the same service. If fast mode was priced 25% or 50% more they’d happily pay for that too. But it’s just not priced that way currently with weird growth subsidization & psychology.

Seems like a pretty obvious effect no? There’s a major power imbalance between professor and student. Not sure how much it would extend outside of the classroom.

Closing certainty is a major reason people will take all-cash offers over financed ones. Even if you're pre-approved for a loan.

Unfortunately the problem is literally the way the government is structured from an electoral + mathematical perspective. Particularly heinous failure mode is polarization, which has been the norm for 50+ years (really started after Vietnam). Biased towards inaction and status quo structurally. The last sustainably unifying event was WWII, which doesn’t bode well.

The randomness is whether the committee reading your essays read them before or after lunch, or if something you wrote reminded them of their first romance, etc. etc. etc. The scores may not be "random" in the truest sense of the word, but the latent state that determine them is unknowable a priori and therefore the scoring ends up being highly stochastic.

I think OP is speaking about people who have 5x or more than their current salary in equities, where even a 50% temporary drop in assets will have no meaningful effect in lifestyle (and a long-term 50% drop in S&P would be apocalyptic, bigger fish to fry).

On Linux I’ve done this by pinning processes to a certain range of CPU cores, and the scheduler will just keep one core free or something. Which allows whatever I need in terms of management to execute on that one core, including SSH orUI.

For events specifically, my cohort (somewhere between Gen-Z and Millenial) have moved event organizing entirely to Partiful, which I've found to be far superior to Facebook Events. Doesn't help with group posts though.

Nothing in this article (nor its citations) claim that the product is being discontinued. Ramping down production of this version is not the same as discontinuing - and even that probably doesn't have a huge impact on whatever long-term vision Apple has for this product line.
