> we do know what the code does You know if you check. Hardly anyone checks. It's just normalization of deviance and will eventually end up with someone exploiting it.

There are ways for the government to do that sort of thing on an emergency basis, and it would take quite some time to make it's way through the courts. There are precedents from nuclear weapons technology and cryptography. I don&#x2

There is nothing more catholic than not practicing catholicism.

Real catholics only think about the church on Easter, Christmas, baptisms, weddings and funerals.

This is more about arbitrary code execution, with a great explanation for how it works, and how a team of people collaborated to try to exploit a newly discovered bug to find a new one.

Keep in mind that he could not have cashed out his tokens in the early days without destroying the whole project and by the time btc was valuable and liquid enough for him to sell, he would have already been wealthy from blockstream (if thi

I actually think the most compelling evidence is the fact that he was one of the first people to get rich from it, which also explains why he never had to touch his vault of coins.

I hate this idea that doxxing is some kind if crime. “Who is the creator of bitcoin?” is a matter of great public and historical interest. Finding out who he is, is the purest form of journalism.

Do you feel the same about cows and pigs and chickens? One way to read this is your reading. Another way to read it is as an attempt to make you question the concept of meat.

When people are described as sociopathic it’s not about any particular lie, but the relationship that the person has with the truth, which is that they will lie when it suits them and tell the truth when it suits them and they don’t seem to

Is this for just like auto complete, because you are not going to get anything very useful out of a code-only training set.

My comment was mostly that it lacks value to _others_. It was probably worth to your friend group roughly the time and money you spent on it. Nobody else is ever going to care.

These kinds of comments are so spectacularly useless. It was almost impossible to measure productivity gains from _computers_ for nearly two decades after they started being deployed to offices in the 1980s. There were articles as late as

There are two arguments about AI art, one of them is trivially reducible to the “is sampling/collage art”. If you are spending time expressing something using AI produced components then you are producing art, and probably the amount o

> Was software made before 2000 better? Literally the moment everyone got on the internet, pretty much every computer program and operating system in the world was besieged by viruses and security flaws, so no.

Anthropic is _unquestionably_ ahead product wise because of their agentic coding tools, but they are not _years_ ahead. In particular, their advantage is in the harness, which is not hard to replicate!

I had fun with it for about a week, but the thing that disappointed me the most wasn't the technology, it was the _people_. You have a machine that can make anything you can imagine, and the space of what people were exploring was so

The only way the US can fix our reputation will be to try and imprison our current leadership after they are eventually removed from power. And in particular, the Trump family needs to have all of its assets seized.

I just want to point out _how easy it is_ to build any of these tools yourself. I got inspired by nano-claw and built on some of it's ideas to build a whole k8s hosted autonomous agent platform and got it into production in 2 weeks. I

The United States is no longer a reliable ally. That is the reality that the world is having to adapt to. Even when Trump is gone, it will take a long time to rebuild that trust.

So, a fun historical fact is that insurance markets started with people in coffee houses betting on whether or not ships would sink for fun. Eventually ship owners realized that if they bet on their own ship sinking, that it reduced the fi
