I watched it in San Jose at Alamo and no one was heckling, but they also played a recording at the beginning reminding people not to talk during the movie. So if you want a quiet movie experience you should try a nearby Alamo Theater. The audience did clap after it was done.

I have heard from musicians who visit the bay that concert audiences are more frequently obnoxious here than other places, and they attribute it to a general lack of social skills in conjunction with all the artists being priced out of the area.

He said that he'd just gone through a breakup during a particular part. Trying not to spoil the movie here.

The thing where he said he'd gone through a break-up seemed like it could have been misleading (I don't actually know about his personal life)

Thank you for the link.

It looks unlikely that I'll be approved, since I have no CVEs credited to me, and I do not publicly post about security concerns.

It looks like I will have to pay them to be considered. It has a cooldown of seven days. Check back in a week to see if my bribe works.

A form of being blocked is sandbagging the models

Anthropic gets zero of my money because their favorite word is no. I cannot figure out how to as an individual or a small startup request elevated permissions for the purposes of anything that they think might potentially be dangerous for someone who is not me to access. I have a background in cybersecurity. I have a background in life sciences. Can I put those skills to use to benefit humanity? Who knows.

Ok, but passkeys have prevented me from being able to do something remotely before.

Like, the far away computer tries to check if my phone is nearby, and it's not, therefore I must not be authorizing the login.

If anyone knows how to fix this I would be happy to learn.

I feel like every time I have added a passkey to an account I've been forced into it, and I didn't fully understand the implications.

Amazon allows you to make returns and makes it convenient, quick, and easy. I made two purchases through independent sellers' websites in the last year, both with big banners guaranteeing satisfaction and easy returns for 100 days or something. And yet, when I found that the product didn't meet my needs, they would not accept my return. They wouldn't even issue a return label. Both of these sellers used Shop. Shop requires you to fill out an application for a refund and then the seller can drag their feet on processing it. In both cases they let the application sit there for days before rejecting it. In one of the cases my credit card company ruled in favor of the small business when I issued a chargeback.

On Amazon it's easy to request a return and get a return label all on the same day that you discover you have a subpar product. The long and short of it is that consumers do not want to be ripped off, and centralized sellers like Amazon and AliExpress make it easy to not be ripped off. If this raises prices across the board, so be it. It's worth it for the time saved and the accountability that comes along with it.

I know e-ink has a whole lot of limitations, which is what makes this video impressive, but, what were the limitations on the hardware used in the original gameboy screens that prevented them from remaining popular? Wikipedia says that they were STN LCD.
