Bubble of... 2023? This has been going on for a while. Since at least 5 years founders have known the way to get funding is to claim your product has "machine learning" or "artificial intelligence"

So you have to get your datasheets directly from the manufacturer instead of from Google (an unrelated tech company). Nothing wrong with that. Civilization doesn't hinge on the effectiveness of search engines.

I'm a happy user of Opensnitch, but there's one important feature I miss: https://github.com/evilsocket/opensnitch/issues/406 Suppose `curl` makes an outbound connection. I can add a rule for `curl`

For decades, engineers understood the limitations of their tools and strove to use the right tool for the right job. Then ChatGPT was released.

All of life is a scam. The net amount of entropy in the universe continually increases. Existence itself is a negative sum game. In a cosmic blink of an eye, the sun will swallow the earth and humanity will go extinct. Any meaning people fi

If you were following the pattern in the title, you'd say "Most operating system developers aren't working on Windows, Linux, or macOS". That might very well be true.

It doesn't seem disingenuous to me. Most open source developers aren't working on Linux, even if most are working in the Linux ecosystem.

About 1% of the time I pay for something, I use crypto. That's better than the value ads have added to my life (which is negative). Neither of our anecdotes cancel the other out. People can value different things, and that's ok! I

I didn't say anything about dilution. Ethereum's yield comes from (I'll try to follow your terminology here) the gross issuance, which looks to be the green gauge called "issuance" on that site and is a positive num

They might not have the extra money. If (let's suppose) customers have sent 1 million ETH to Kraken that's now staked, Kraken would need another million ETH just laying around in order to do this.

by rom-antics 4y ago
The exact quote from Kraken's site is "Stake for up to 20% APY." The APY is different for each coin and is measured in that coin, not in USD. For example, ETH gets you around 4% APY as of writing. The money comes from staking

This is a strange narrative. Bitcoin was released in 2009. Putin's gang had no problem getting money before 2009. How do you think dictatorships have funded themselves throughout all of human history?

The paper is not so simplistic as you make it sound. 1. They analyzed clusters of addresses, not individual addresses, so one-time addresses are accounted for (unless the vendor never collected their payment from the DN, in which case they

It seems like a very reactionary move. ChatGPT went viral, and now they have to rush something to market to try and compete. So of course the product doesn't exist yet, but they've had enough time to put together a project plan an

I saw it as a joke about an 80s/90s comedian being dropped into the 21st century and bombing a set trying to use old material. It's not a bad premise for a joke and could probably even work IRL if you polish it up. It's too b

If I woke up tomorrow and breathed all the oxygen, nobody else could breathe. But If I woke up tomorrow and read all the websites on the internet, it wouldn't stop other people from reading them too. Air is zero-sum. Knowledge is not.

Humans have a pretty good sense of when you need to cite sources, and when you don't. For example, long ago I learned from some website how to write a for-loop in python, and now I write them all the time without giving credit. I'
