Oh I've used this personally! I had various surgeries that removed various amounts of bone from me and I asked to keep the bones, which they allowed! I wanted to preserve them in case I wanted to make some esoteric jewelry and it lead to paraloid B-72.

It's quite wonderful. I dissolve the paraloid B-72 in acetone (1 part B-72, 8 parts acetone), then soak the bone in the acetone for about an hour, let the bones dry, and then suddenly they're solid and strong. You can adjust how much acetone you use for how thin/thick you want the fluid. Bones are porus so I opted for a thinner solution and it worked great. It was also really cheap.

> "200,000 credits at $0.03 per credit with a 15% volume discount, plus 10 seats, plus a base platform fee, with credit rollover into Q2" — that sentence cannot exist in most billing systems.

I used to work on GCP billing and this is so entirely correct and disgustingly hard to get right. The worst part is that even if you implement a way for sales to create these custom contracts down to a T, you're going to get an escalated customer ticket that hits the engineering team because the bill didn't end up how they think it should have so it's assumed to be a bug. You'll confirm this rube goldberg machine of billing state in their contract was in fact correctly implemented and that maybe they didn't negotiate what they thought they did with sales.

Oh! I have a prefix sum laying around in SIMD in Rust, I use it for bitmap rasterization for fonts. Looking at the comments I guess this isn't a popular usecase, but useful nonetheless. Doing it on the GPU looks really fun
