I keep seeing people call it “X, the Everything App” and ngl it’s funny every single time

When I saw what community this article is posted in I almost choked.

Maybe, I don’t know enough about him, but I will say this: Nobody fits my definition of “people who work hard” better than Euler.

When someone says “He’s an unbelievable genius,” I now understand that the person speaking is either a con artist or a gullible idiot. Unbelievable geniuses don’t exist, there’s just specialists, people who get lucky, people who work hard. So if you’re saying someone is such a genius, either you have no metric by which to measure genius, or you’re selling something.

“I think Cullen made the Satoshi accusation for marketing. He needed a way to get attention for his film.”

Cullen is absolutely selling something: he’s selling his documentary.

The various denials and deflections from Todd, [Cullen] claims, are part of a grand and layered misdirection.

Smells 100% like bullshit. I had no take on this documentary one way or the other before, but now I’m very skeptical.

With as much bad faith antisocial sociopathic shit Mark Zuckerberg has done, I truly don’t understand why anyone would use anything associated with meta. He’s Elon Musk with more experience at being… that.

Bluesky isn’t going to be the savior of social media, but with the death of Cohost it’s the least bad option available.

This is gospel truth.

I highly doubt they did anything remotely like “hacking” the seed phrase. I don’t care for cryptocurrency, but I hate cop bullshit even more, so here’s my 2 cents.

or just found it written somewhere in the house?

this one.

A seed phrase is just an encoding of a long binary number which can be used to derive the secret key. Trying all the possibilities probably isn’t possible, and I think it’s also unlikely that they found a way to weaken it. What they probably did is find it and type it in. They DID raid the dude’s house, where he was probably keeping a copy of it.

“Twenty or thirty years ago, police did not hack, that was not a thing that they did, but that’s very much part of the bread and butter of a modern police force nowadays,” Mr Uren said.

LMAO fuck off with this. I don’t doubt they have some tech guys on hand. I don’t think they have access to the quantum computer you’d need for this.

So what did you do with them once they were trapped? I imagine lifting that box would be putting your own life at risk, but even if you survived that you now have a feral cat to deal with.

I don’t see how it statistically benefits the company. Whether I sell you the right thing, or the wrong thing, I still sold you something. So why not try to make it the right thing so I come back?

I did get a chuckle out of this though:

The facility will need to be fully restaffed

Yeah, it’s been 45 years, I don’t think those folks were waiting around for the place to reopen.

Jesus Christ.

Look, I’m in favor of nuclear power. We have new designs that are much, much safer than the ones that failed back in the 80’s. Even so, we can get a Fukushima event; not world-ending but still pretty terrible.

The thing is, no matter how safe the design, Microsoft and other companies dialed in on greed–especially companies for whom power generation is not their core competency–can be trusted to cut corners until those safe designs become dangerous again.

And Three Mile Island WAS NOT A SAFE DESIGN.

What the fuck are we doing?

This guy’s company is planning to build nuclear-powered datacenters btw. Check in with yourself on whether you think that’s a good power this responsible human being should have.

Is this legal?

Yes, it’s called “opposition research” (frequently abbreviated “oppo”) and the political parties do it constantly to one another. Because they’re doing it this much, and because they have a LOT less scruples than you do, they’ve probably already uncovered everything you would. But maybe not all.

In addition, doing this publicly would put the target on alert, so they’d specifically run interference against whoever you hired. This wouldn’t make their job impossible, but definitely harder.

And, finally, whatever new dirt you do manage to gather might not matter. The things Trump has done that the public already knows about should be enough to put him in prison for life, and yet he’s still in the current US presidential election instead of incarceration.

Folks, the docker runtime is open source, and not even the only one of its kind. They won’t charge for that. If they tried to make it closed source, everyone would just laugh and switch to one of several completely free alternatives. They charge for hosting images, build time on their build servers, and various “premium” developer tools you don’t need. In fact, you need none of this, you can do all of it yourself on whatever hardware you deem to be good enough. There are also many other hosted alternatives out there.

Docker thinks they have a monopoly, for some reason. If you use the technology, you are probably already aware that they don’t.

Student with actual gun given a thumbs-up and a gentle kiss on the forehead.

It seems like it would be super easy for them to close this loophole. If you use the model that free tier listeners (real ones) will listen to about the same distribution of songs as the paying listeners, then just stop counting all free tier listeners and multiply the amount paid out for the pay-tier listeners by an appropriate factor to make payouts the same as before.

Linus is the leader of the kernel project. As a leader, it’s his job to get the maintainers to agree. It’s not Rust’s job to make the C devs stop bullying them.

If Linus thinks Rust is a good direction, he should show it by actually standing up to Ted and developers like him and making them behave.

If he doesn’t think it’s a good direction, he should say that too, so the remaining Rust devs can stop wasting time on the project.

When someone in a niche part of the project steps down like this, that’s a problem with the top-level leadership. Linus’ record on leadership is… mixed. Trending in a good direction the last few years, but this makes me wonder. He can still save this, but he has to want to.
