Can they forcibly reverse the transaction so that Binance gets their money back?
Decentralized is a great concept but it’s 99.9% rug pulls and you can’t get any safety unless you centralize. As an investor there is no way to protect yourself because the rug pulls are several orders of magnitude more sophisticated than most people’s understanding.
My theory is energy drinks which contain taurine that actually promotes cancer growth.
Deaths from opioids over the last 10+ years has really affected the life expectancy in the US. But no doubt that Japanese lifestyle is much better than the American lifestyle overall, especially at the older ages.
I would have loved to get the decrease in weight, but I bought my Macbook Pro 128 GB in March and the equivalent is now 50% more expensive, from 5000 to 7500. The memory price skyrocketing is so bad but I don't know if it will ever get better or if these prices are the best we will ever see again.
Nah, I'm a great programmer that is flexible and open-minded to change.
I've beem saying this: there's nothing sacred about human-written code, and 75% of all code written is much much worse than AI slop.
I have no problems with AI-written code and I've been a working programmer since the 90s. I don't even code review it as a matter of principle. I firmly believe that code itself has quickly reached an asymptomic value of $0, and if there are any bugs then just ask the AI to fix it.
I have a coworker who is possibly 1000 times more productive. He went from working on 1 or 2 side projects on his own pre-AI to working on 10-15 side projects at the same time, each incredibly complex and finishing them in a week. He build Android apps for controlling drones, then to 3D-rendering, then to making games, to creating various types of compilers, to creating entire AI run-times for phones. This is on top of running out of work to do so he's been doing side projects at work. He rewrote an entire team's product in a week and made it faster with less lines of code. Then he created his own language, made an AI music generator, an AI thing that compresses KV cache, multiple MCP servers for products, and then a global MCP-type server that incorporates a while slew of internal services kind of like a one-stop shop, and it has gained traction within our company.
It's insane and almost comical the level of productivity he has achieved with AI.
What about OpenAI allowed ETH to be determined to be false that couldn't be done by humans? Was there something in particular that OpenAI's AI did that help bridge the gap to a solution?
After decades of just dumping it on the market, despite knowing that it's essentially a non-renewable resource, we finally designate it a critical material. Talk about closing the barn door after the helium has escaped.
Thank you, was there another article that went out that detailed this? I couldn't find anything specific myself.
I did read the entire article. I was wondering if further information was released or if employees on this post had further details.
What are the terms of the severance? Last time didn't they offer accelerated vesting, etc?
When they offer a package YOU ALWAYS TAKE IT. It means that layoffs are coming.
My friend's company offered a voluntary severance package to a bunch of employees. She was talking to one of her employees and she knew that he was going to get laid off if he didn't take the package but was unable to advise him. I think the voluntary severance was 2 years medical, 2 years of vesting, many months of pay, etc. But he decided not to take the offer and was laid off for a much worse package a few months later.
ALWAYS TAKE THE VOLUNTARY SEVERANCE.
Below the Root was a fantastic game, I somehow stumbled upon that 40+ years ago on my PC and played it not understanding what the rules were. Now I’m going to have to look for it as abandonware.
Reverse engineer it using AI.
So it can fly?
Just like we will have 1 million robotaxis on the streets by 2021?
EDIT: wow it really can fly, that is crazy
If you work at Apple/Safari then my free suggestion is to have a "Chrome mode" where all the buttons and doohickeys that Chrome has are all in the same location for Safari. If I'm far to used to where the buttons are for things like "reload" so trying to switch to Safari is enough friction to make me stay with Chrome.
Maybe have an Edge mode as well to convince the Edge users to come over.
Complex numbers would be a much easier concept to understand if they didn't call it "complex" numbers or use the term "imaginary" numbers. Both of those make it much harder to digest because now you think that it's not real. What they really are are 2 dimensional numbers, meaning they have 2 components to each number.
The same goes for the term "real" numbers. Sometimes math, and its descendants like physics and computer science, can be too cutesy with their names that make it hard for regular people to understand or accept.
As someone who has travelled to Indonesia several times, I've never encountered pollution as bad as I've experienced in Jakarta (I'm sure other 3rd world cities are as bad or worse). The air outside smells like the air you smell in a garage when you first start your gas car. At night, you could barely see the Moon because the smog was so bad and the Moon looked brown. It's really horrible.
Even more telling was during the Pandemic, skies turned blue for the first time in decades because no cars were on the streets, and the children were in amazement. It's sad that it takes a huge catastrophe for an entire generation to see blue skies.
I've been following her since the beginning. I'm really skeptical 4 years later whether or not it's real at this point because it feels like it's pretty dangerous and expensive and I find it hard to believe she got the permitting necessary to keep digging below the house like that. But I still follow her.
The weird part is her onlyfans-style alternate account which is kind of strange...
You are mistaken. For every person making a "slightly stupid bet" there's another person who is making a "slightly smart bet". With Kalshi, they aren't the casino who encourage people to make a bunch of bets with negative EV. They are a marketplace that allows one smart person to make a bet with one dumb person (according to your parlance). As long as the markets are fair with no manipulation, things should balance out.
It's like the stock market, where there's always one buyer and one seller. The marketplace, ie. NYSE or Nasdaq for example, don't bias in any particular direction they just being one side together with the other.
Did the author have his Mac exposed to the internet and not behind a firewall? How did his screen sharing port 5900 get accessed if he was behind a physical firewall/home router?
Does Sam Altman have what it takes to lead OpenAI? It sounds like the company and its mission is bigger than his ability to lead it.
I immigrated to the US to work in Silicon Valley directly because of Triumph of the Nerds that I watched in PBS. I have a life that I could never have achieved in my home country and I am grateful to Bob Cringely for this. May he rest in peace.
They need a Bukkele to come in and suspend human rights and execute all the politicians associated with corruption and use the military to throw all the warlords and criminals in jail.
The people in those countries deserve to live a life free from corruption and the only way to do it is Bukkele-style

Where? Every one that I've seen is double from last year's price.
Hard drives.... I remember those things... didn't I used to use them before the Great HDD and SSD Extinction of 2025-2026?
Seriously, I had to replace 2 hard drives in my NAS this year like a bad luck lottery and my hard drives have doubled in price. I was terrified that my NVMe was failing as well.
He is likely being promised a chance at succession to CEO.
