    It's still 15% up from the IPO price, isn't it? Though I don't know what the actual retail price was available to common investors - how much higher than those $135 it was.

    Yes, exactly as you say. For us, "home" is where you live, regardless of who owns it - it may be parents' place, multi generation home or even a dorm.

    Don't be too hard on yourself. Parenting is hard. If you manage to pass on just a little bit less trauma than you experienced, you're already doing above average job.

    Looks like you're right! Thanks for correction. It is called "Lombard loans" sometimes.

    Those subscriptions are not available to enterprise customers. They are wildly worth the cost, but are basically bait and switch.

    You addressed the second part, but ignored the first - the one about overblown anthropic hype / marketing around mythos. Remember when GPT-2 was too dangerous to release on the world?

    The chief complaint I’ve been seeing from people is that it is largely on par with other frontier models in terms of finding new bugs, and a competent security researcher isn’t going to benefit significantly from Mythos.
