I started mine monday and it never finished (never got the email saying its ready). I started it again on tuesday and it finished in two hours. Maybe they just had a surge of exports on monday.

Maybe they drafted it on a phone where capitalization is harder. My guess is the all-lowercase world is mostly people who do most of their text creation on phones and similar, not keyboards.

I don’t really see how capitalization is harder on phones, I do it all the time.

if you turned on the autocorrects and spell checks etc, would automatically capitalize your sentences. Even when you don't want them to!

Nearly half of their employees. And yet economists tell us, AI isn't going to affect jobs.

Federal US government & to some extent local law enforcement. They most likely won't be able to use them, but they will buy them and put them in a warehouse. Long tradition of US government doing this with tech, going back to SGI workstations in the 90s if not earlier.

Having seem some relative's houses, IMO hoarding is basically undiagnosed or undertreated ADHD.

My mom is a hoarder.

It's not ADHD, it's an anxiety disorder. The two things can coexist, but the underlying cause of the hoarding [in most instances, definitely with my mom] is anxiety related to "losing" the items.

This is why you see hoarding triggered by loss so often.

In PA they scan your ID if you buy beer. There could be a full digital record of all my beer purchases for past 15+ years, although I'm not aware of any aggregation of this data that is happening. Not that I expect anyone doing it would talk about it.

Based on that, I presume the astronauts on the ISS will need to take cover due to this event

We're well above 2% anyway, I doubt they will ever hit that again - they are already having to cut rates because job market is frozen, and that will increase inflation pressure.

I track my spend each year and my personal actual inflation rate has averaged about 4.5% over past 5 years. And I'm pretty low income, my spending is all core stuff.

They can leak into higher wavelengths. You are really putting a whole lot of trust in manufacturers if you are sitting underneath one of these for decades with unprotected eyes. Not a risk I would take personally (I have glaucoma already, so I'm a bit more sensitive than the average person about eye health)
