The US government owns the stock.
Re:The SEC Should Block Anthropic's IPO to Protect the Public on Monday November 02, 2026 @08:47PM (#50346934)
Ah, you're right. I didn't notice they updated the prospectus today.

This data only leaked two weeks ago. Zitron is a stopped clock.

Amazon has to pay ~70% revenue share on models they host.
Re:Anthropic's growth just flattened (really) on Monday November 02, 2026 @06:43PM (#50345863)
They said distillation was 5-7% of revenue. The slowdown is much larger than that.
Re:The SEC Should Block Anthropic's IPO to Protect the Public on Monday November 02, 2026 @06:38PM (#50345807)
The only real argument here is that Anthropic has Q3 numbers but they aren't included in the prospectus because they may be bad. Delaying the IPO by a few weeks would solve that problem.
OS thread scheduling jitter and kernel context-switching latency

This goes away with isolcpus. Have you tried that?

I don't think we do.

I would assume it's pull-based so the agent takes a screenshot whenever it finishes a turn.

Isn't that worse, because each work contributes more to my brain?

What if I use the collective output of humanity to train my brain?

Re:French national assembly votes 0.055€/GB internet tax on Friday October 30, 2026 @07:28PM (#50311490)
AFAIK VLC is developed in France so they may hesitate to block their own country.
AFAIK the Internet in France is private infrastructure that has already been paid for by its customers.

Looks like port knocking with Noise authentication.
Many customers will definitely stick with the pre-sloppified versions of IOS.
Re:French national assembly votes 0.055€/GB internet tax on Friday October 30, 2026 @07:01PM (#50311226)
Putting aside whether this is a good idea or not, this rate is like 1,000%. The tax is 10x more than bandwidth itself costs.

Re:Infinite Mac: BeOS on Friday October 30, 2026 @06:16PM (#50310855)
It was reported that Apple offered $75M for Be and almost $500M for NeXT and in retrospect those seem like entirely fair valuations. One was a mature OS and the other was a demo of an OS.
Re:Binance-hacker-1029 – $5.6B stolen from Binance on Friday October 30, 2026 @01:33AM (#50300198)
Nope. None of what you're saying is correct.

Not every chain split is a 51% attack.

Pensions and social security are indexed to inflation. 401ks should beat or match inflation.
Re:Binance-hacker-1029 – $5.6B stolen from Binance on Thursday October 29, 2026 @08:02PM (#50298009)
In the US wages have outpaced inflation. Obviously that's an aggregate measure so it's not true for everyone.
Re:Binance-hacker-1029 – $5.6B stolen from Binance on Thursday October 29, 2026 @07:29PM (#50297732)
Most people in crypto are noobs, not hardened veterans of previous hacks.
Re:Binance-hacker-1029 – $5.6B stolen from Binance on Thursday October 29, 2026 @07:26PM (#50297704)
In this case it looks like the attacker managed to swap some stablecoins into ETH before they were frozen.
Re:Binance-hacker-1029 – $5.6B stolen from Binance on Thursday October 29, 2026 @07:21PM (#50297658)
Fixing the DAO hack wasn't done via a 51% attack. In most/all blockchains protocol changes aren't done by simple majority vote.
Re:Binance-hacker-1029 – $5.6B stolen from Binance on Thursday October 29, 2026 @06:10PM (#50296900)
Most crypto assets are operated by a smart contract that controls every transfer. So the contract can decide to not perform certain transfers.

non-skittish hosting providers are uniformly also unprincipled

Yeah, this is what I'm saying (although absolute free speech is itself a principle). I wish it weren't so, but you're 99% right that the cloud isn't really usable for anything outside the Overton window, whether it's far left, far right, erotica, pro-suicide, extreme trolling, etc.

However if you're using Cloudflare you can "hide" your backend hosting provider and they usually won't kick you out because they don't take any reputation hit. So I still suspect a mainstream cloud (with good off-cloud backups) could work for AO3.

Re:Archive Of Our Own down for maintenance for 2 to 4 weeks on Thursday October 29, 2026 @04:13PM (#50295146)
There are a few "Nazi" hosting providers that could probably handle AO3. Maybe AO3 couldn't handle them.

Imagine if there was an API to rent servers within minutes or someday even seconds.
