Does the CEO and co-founder of Bond actually expect folks who read this announcement, as it shifts from Facebook's ambient data collection toward promoting Bond, to give Bond access to their valuable "identity capital" and sign up because they promise to give us more control over how we share our memories with AI and "provide a safe medium" via closed source? Absolutely not. Keep your superpowers offline with a local model.

I haven't seen any deprecation notices for 2.5 yet, just for 2. I'd expect (and hope) the deprecation timeline for 2.5 is longer since 3.0 is still in preview. Maybe they just default to 1 year here?

LLMs work great with Elixir. Running tsc in a loop while generating code still catches type errors introduced by an LLM and it’s faster than generating additional tests. Elixir is also succinct and highly functional. If you can’t find a specific library it’s easier than ever to build out the barebones functionality you need yourself or use NIFs, ports, etc.

I set up a couple developer accounts recently for my clients. Just use a new Google Voice number for 2FA. I had to live chat with Apple support to get past initial verification both times and after that setup went fine.

Nintendo 2k1 website [1] was god tier slicing with the curved layout, inset menus, and sprites for the corners, edges, buttons without transparency. The pixel backgrounds, fonts, buttons, shadows looked great on a CRT. Tried to replicate it myself back in the day with HTML tables.

If you're just starting out, I'd register and collect sales tax in the state where you have a physical presence. You would only collect and remit sales tax in that state. As you grow your business, you may need to consider economic nexus thresholds to determine if you have nexus in additional states based on revenue or order volume [1].

You may have different sales tax obligations if you decide to sell on a marketplace such as Amazon. FBA sellers may have additional nexuses based on where Amazon is storing your products in fulfillment centers [2]. Marketplace facilitator laws are taking effect where the marketplace may collect and remit sales tax on your behalf in specific states, but you may still be obligated to report sales tax [3].

All of this can get complicated fast. As always, it's a good idea to talk to a CPA or tax professional first.
