Just move your funds from mutual funds tracking NASDAQ (if you own any) to a different fund tracking S&P. Inconvenient but not the end of the world. You still have about two weeks to do so; I did this last week. Then in 6+ months when lockups expire and insiders have dumped, you can move money back if you'd like.

Also, SpaceX only sold a tiny portion, and Elon is only a trillionaire based on unrealized value of unsold stock. If it crashes before he sells any, he might go back to being a "normal" centi-billionaire.

IMO the US administration actions are less about actually caring whether foreigners have access to these tools, and more about legal/political precedence. In the US there's a long history of executive or legislative branches crying "national security" to shut down things they don't like, and courts will rarely stop them (or do so extremely slowly after months of deliberation.

(The other common cry is "child sex abuse" but for obvious reasons this administration is less interested in talking about that particular topic.)

Idk what they're using for serving, but it's truncated in the raw HTML, not just the presentation layer. So probably a bug on the backend somewhere? The linked github repo doesn't seem to have the contents of the post.

Nice to see some catch-up with Anthropic and others, but this doesn't actually offer cloud coding agents (my favorite Claude and Cursor capability).

I want to code from my mobile device when my laptop is off or unavailable, pushing PRs directly to GitHub. Codex mobile only works with a desktop machine, at which point, I'll just use that machine, what's the point.

I experimented with setting up a dedicated openclaw instance for coding via chats on mobile, but now that cursor and Claude both offer easy coding from the Web/app, I have had it turned off for weeks.

Arda was supposed to be drastically changed after the First Age. This map is from the Second/Third Ages. Do the events from the First Age map currently into what is shown? Do some have to be excluded?

I avoided this exact scam. The most important thing is to never trust an incoming phone number. If they can't give you a publicly posted phone number that you can call inbound, they are a scammer.

Google has dozens of properties and it is easy to generate an email from one of them that seems to confirm the attacker's identity. Never trust any of these to identify a legitimate representative.

This user just doesn't understand how to use an LLM properly.

The best solution to hallucination and inaccuracy is to give the LLM mechanisms for looking up the information it lacks. Tools, MCP, RAG, etc are crucial for use cases where you are looking for factual responses.

Sounds really similar to my experience a few months ago. I commented here about it.

There was something in Google workspace that allowed the scanners to have an email sent to them, AND an additional and of their choice. But when I asked about calling them back, I was told that wasn't possible, which made me suspicious.
