I would be worried that they break, the magnets fall out and the kids stick it in some orifice

I think this is worth worrying about, especially with knockoff magnatiles. The magnets are small enough to swallow. If a child swallows two they could die, for the same reason that "buckyball" magnet toys were banned: the magnets can snap together with intestinal tissue in between and perforate the intestinal wall.

The brand-name ones are surprisingly durable. Can’t speak to the cheaper knockoffs.

The EU's safety rules for children's toys are impressive -- I read them out of curiosity when I was 3D printing a toy.

e.g. dropping a 1kg steel block onto the toy, and checking it doesn't break in an unsafe way (section 8.7 in the link).

https://law.resource.org/pub/eu/toys/en.71.1.2014.html#s8.7

Section A.51 is about magnetic construction toys.


Had to look up the rules on bows and arrows in the European Union when I got to [4.17.4] Bows and arrows. "bows offered for sale with arrows are to be considered as toys" Wait. What? Like, all bows and arrows?

[4.17.4] https://law.resource.org/pub/eu/toys/en.71.1.2014.html#s4.17...

Took a bit to find, yet eventually [Directive 2009/48/EC, Annex 1] "List of products that, in particular, are not considered as toys"

9. "bows for archery over 120 cm long"

[Directive 2009/48/EC, Annex 1] https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:32...

Pfew. Not, quite that crazy.


I use MM for about a year. Forking it would be a major undertaking as the number of vulnerabilities for which you would need to backport is quite high like 5 a month?). Last time they removed features from free (group calls in v10) there was a lot of grumbling but thats it.

What are those?


Oh am I doing it wrong by having an 8yr old w10 install that ive moved over 3 computers?

That's actually amazing. First I shudder to think of all the cruft in that install. Leftover registry settings from 2015 on. But second kudos for being able to do that. I've tried and failed about 5 times in my life at moving a windows install to another computer since Windows 95 days. I didn't think it was at all possible.

When I was in Japan all the street signs and train stations had a little transliteration in hiragana of the kanji name. Super useful to be able to read it

Metastasis is not just random tumor cell going for a hike, they are seeded with extracellular vesicles carrying particular mix of microRNAs, growth factors, vimentin and other stuff.

Yep, when the tide goes away no company will be able to keep swimming naked offering stuff for free

Do you have some good links for that? I only found this

which says that the changes reverted quickly after resuming normal feeding


Do you guys all work 100% on open source? Or are you uploading bits of your copyrighted code for future training to Anthropic? I hate patents so copyright is the only IP protection I have.

We use AWS Bedrock, so everything stays within our AWS account. It's not like we aren't already uploading our code to GitHub for version control, AWS for deployment, Jetbrains for development, all of ours logs to Datadog, Sentry, Snowflake, and more.

Yeah, my source code is on my computers, in self-hosted version control and self-hosted CI runners

anthropic doesn't use your code for training.

I pay Microsoft all of eur 11.20/month for basic office subscription and the 3 times I've clicked contact support I got called by helpful people who resolved my problem.

I guess that's one reason enterprises like them
