wow... I just tried the link and get the same thing now... except i can access my servey... maybe it was a limited time deal.

Just been reading through the comments on MajorNelson.com, and it looks like most of the people who get the error message are from the UK. Methinks they're not allowing us in it! :(

I managed it... yesterday, maybe its just ended for sign-ups for now.

I'm from the states and it gives me that error to now when I follow the link. I think they closed it now.

That or too many people tried to sign up in too short amount of time and we broke it :p

Needless to say I'm glad I was keeping close watch on MN.com yesterday and saw his post minutes after he announced it.

you and me both. i really hope i get to try it early.

Who sleeps for 10 hours+? I agree it's a bit ****y to give the americans more chance to get in, but they are their number 1 customers...

No one, but who wakes up and logs straight onto their computer to check Major Nelson's blog? I can imagine a few people here would but it's not something everyone does. Most people don't go on the computer until they come home from school/work.

It says that they will let us know who got accepted on Oct 29, seems like a long wait.

Next Wednesday? Less than a week? I don't think that's long at all...

So they wanted to get a fully representative sample, but only had it open for 10-12 hours when Europe was asleep? Really clever stuff...

I'm sure it would have stayed open for longer had the slots available for sign ups not been filled so quickly. No clever business here. :p

    • Surprise! We still can't get it right. With the current state of AI, the crappy software, the huge mega-corporations that back all of these idiot things, I think we are a very long way away from SAE Level 5. I, for one, will never get in one.
    • Nice. September/October GA?! I'll keep following it, but won't install any preview or beta versions.
    • Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
