This is the weirdest reaction. It's as if the aliens warped their multi-dimensional space fleet through a worm-hole in the sky and the best thing you could think to ask them after they infected your brain with the translation virus is

Co-pilot uses the surrounding context of your code, which is often good enough to feel "trained" on your own codebase. So for example, say you have a function called "doThingie()". Copilot will look at how the function i

Human error isn’t a root cause. Why were they able to speed on that road? Why did they feel safe being on their phone? Every software engineer understands intrinsically that blaming the user does not improve outcomes. You cannot get folks t

A better title would be "Solend seized $170MM of user funds". Claiming it was done by "Solana" is incorrect. Claiming it's to prevent a drop in Solana's price is clickbait & editorializing.

The current headline "Solana just seized $170MM of user funds to prevent a decrease in Solana's price" is factually incorrect. A project on Solana, called "Solend", froze $170m of funds deposited into its protocol.

Much of the problem with crypto-skepticism is that basically every problem it raises is true. The argument is effectively boiled down to “here are a bunch of people working on very hard problems. Hard problems are hard, and therefore crypto
