students get a couple free years of a Google One subscription which comes with access to the nicer models and some free claude credits to use inside Antigravity IDE. Though there's a small chance I'm wrong and everyone has access to those models.

The free tokens is the only reason why I've been using Antigravity. And after this god awful update (I had the exact same scenario as the article author) and once my free student plan runs out, I'm immediately switching to something else.

Makes me wish we could regulate these big tech companies and run them big fines whenever they abuse their monopoly by unnecessarily downgrading the experience for users. I hate how all their stocks continue to climb despite headline after headline of new updates breaking things for users. It's like they can just do whatever they want and never get punished for it meaningfully.

I bet it depends on the institution and the IT team behind said institution, but at least for my university we apparently don't delete old course shells or anything.

I'm friends with a professor who complained to me a couple times about how sometimes he will need to scroll through pages and pages of courses he taught in the past. He also mentioned that profs aren't able to delete their own course shells either.

Does the Wiz article read like AI for anyone else? The headings, paragraph structure, and sentence structure feel very similar to what I've seen LLMs produce. It also seems to heavily use em dashes (except the em dashes were replaced with minus signs).

Feels kinda funny reading an LLM generated article criticizing the security of an LLM generated platform. I mean I'm sure the security vulnerabilities were real, but I really would've like it if a human wrote the article; probably would've cut down on the fluff/noise.

I've been working in the produce department at a grocery store for a few years, and the rule we're told is to remove items a day before their best-before date (or if it looks expired or unsellable), which then get packed and sent to the food bank (even though IMO 80-90% of it is kinda inedible).

Other stores (even from the same company as mine) might instead have a compost heap and throw all old produce there and/or give a discount to those items.

Best-before dates are crucial for us since we need them to figure out how long a product has been sitting on the shelf (especially the items that can sit on the shelf for months) and especially for keeping the warehouse organized as we can days of orders stockpiled with 3+ different best-before dates, and it's important to always put out the oldest product otherwise the whole box can go bad.

Also, as a fun fact, since there are thousands of items, old bad produce can be often be missed. One time I found some prunes that had been past their best-before date for nearly a year.

Also, I've regularly witnessed items that go bad basically right as we get them (maybe 5 or so days before their best-before date) while other items can last a week or two after their best-before date just fine.

So yeah, for regular people, best-before dates are more like a suggestion that roughly tells you how old the item is and maybe the mean average time the item goes bad (depending on how it's regulated). If it's near the item is roughly near its best before, maybe just give it a close look and a sniff. If it looks and smells fine, it's probably fine.

I once bought a glass of jam in a store that was already past its best-before date. It was still perfectly good, especially for baking. If I had seen that before leaving the store, I might have tried to haggle down the price :)
