Re:Binance-hacker-1029 – $5.6B stolen from Binance on Friday October 30, 2026 @02:25PM (#50308148)
let's measure the scale of the scams and the harm and damage versus the beneficial uses of bitcoin and zelle and paypal and ebay and amazon.

Its more than their total reserve fund. Its a fraction of the money they hold for customers.

Re:Show HN: Qwen3-4B with the AI writing tics trained out on Monday October 19, 2026 @11:41AM (#50153787)
Its funny, even with the tics probably trained out of that blog post, my brain still turned off and skipped paying attention to it, automatically categorizing it as "AI slop".

A lot of machines based on this CPU booted a ROM that ran a BASIC. It seems more of a challenge than running a Forth.

That's part of the horrible experience I hate. why should I have to have my phone to login on my computer.

Re:AI is now capable of developing its own inference hardware on Tuesday October 06, 2026 @10:42PM (#49987422)
So have the AI built software products.
No but in the article he makes the explicit case that its the mark of his trade.

I agree, but who are these alleged investors at this point?
I don't think they did an NT 2, I think they started with 3.1 or somewhere in 3 to match the contemporary consumer windows version. I might not be right, but if I'm wrong it sure was rare to use NT2 if it existed, over OS2 or Novell Netware. Anyway, that's a nitpick and doesn't change your point.
