ELI5: How does this impact UNIX timestamps? Particularly for things that are in maintenance mode or otherwise minimally maintained.

Nothing I do requires this level of precision, but certainly there are things that do.

I’m still rattled by all the DoD stuff in the spring. At which point I deleted my ChatGPT/OpenAI account.

But Anthropic’s games with Fable and false humility is getting a bit old. And increasingly it seems like Agent Orange is gonna implode rather than team up with someone like Sam Altman to form America’s Third Reich. Particularly post-midterms.

Nonetheless, wish there was a third option on par with them two. Maybe there is I need to investigate.

I Agree with a lot of what this article says, except it doesn't provide a better solution for being informed. Seems to suggest ingornance is bliss.

Its the ultimate libertarian paradox.

How can you both preserve peoples rights and also intervene to stop when you subjecivley think something should be regulated?

At heart he seems like one of the good guys in the history of tech.

Although he may have inadvertently destroyed local news by squeezing it of revenue from classified ads (but has since done a lot to fund journalism)

> Is anyone on HN still actually using Cursor in 2026?

Which makes this a godsend for Cursor.

Even if SpaceX stock plummets 90% before the lockup ends, I assume everyone will make out better than any other exit that could have occurred.

Who would buy them that would seem rational?

Great quote.

It's easy to predict what will happen. It's hard to predict when or the second and third-order effects.

> Stock that may very well be near its zenith when this closes (or maybe not. This is so far past fundamentals it’s impossible to tell).

Nah, not in a bubble or anything at all.

Prediction -- SpaceX rebrands within a decade like Meta or Alphabet. And they turn out to be a AI company not a space company.

Till the minute I clicked on this I couldn't decide if it was satire or not.

But also, for a few weeks periodicly I've been wondering what's going on with Cursor. Haven't thought about them at all, let alone used them, in quite some time.

They were a pretty big AI-native player. Seems clear we're well into the consolidation phase of this economic cycle.

Thank you

Failing a treatment that has held promise for so many others and been heralded as paradigm-shifting is such a weird place to be. There's comfort in knowing others won't suffer, but loneliness is knowing you or a loved one still is.

As a newyorker who was raised a modern orthdox jew, but left that world for the world arts, the last few years have been weird.

On the one hand, it's been the first time I've no longer been able to take for granted that everyone in a room agrees with my political views and doesn't pre-judge me based on my background. On the other hand, I've gone back home to the suburbs and heard some really ridiculous hyperbole about what it's like in NYC.

Then there's the fact that while I support Isreal, I don't support all its actions. Nor do a lot of people in the [Orthodox] Jewish community, but they are afraid to speakup too much.

Modern orthdoox jews are kind of like Mitt Romney is for Mormons. Observant of all the rules, but also raised with a full secular education, encouraged to go to college, and expected to participate in society rather than isolate in thier community.

My mother's cousin just died from pancreatic cancer on Monday. She was in a trial for this drug and failed. Trying to figure out how I feel about this or how my family would.

Personally, I have epilepsy and am increasingly aware that while some paradigm-shifting treatments are on the horizon, they are a decade or so away and likely won't come to market in time to fully help me (particularly reverse small but accumulating damage caused by seizures). And that's a weird feeling.

If there’s one thing that’s certain it’s that Trump will do something just after markets close on Friday.

But I hadn’t considered this fell into that category. Except maybe as a direction from Iran. You make a good point, it may trigger immediate reactions in the market. Not just 3-6 month ones.

I wonder what the counterbalance will be by Monday morning.
