The original wallet is compromised so if you send the money back the attacker can immediately re-steal it. The original owner could try to out-RBF the attacker but game theoretically that leads to the money being converted to miner fees.

A few people did call out Coinkite for poor engineering at the time but it was either not seen or dismissed as hating in the context of the Coldcard/Passport fight.

1. Generate all possible seeds. 2. For each seed, generate a few addresses using BIP-32. 3. Use a blockchain explorer API to check if those addresses have been used. 4. For each address that contains unspent coins, generate the correspondin

I see people didn't get my point. If StatCounter considers Chrome OS different from Linux then they might also consider Steam OS a separate bucket. Or they might include Steam OS in their Linux count and thus the rise of Steam OS might

The last release of OS X was 11 years ago but this site shows it having over twice as many users as macOS. It's totally implausible.

I guess Steam OS counts as Linux?

On PC you can pirate the full version even if the disc doesn't work.

$400 is for the empty enclosure and $1,000 is for the enclosure with a NIC in it. Obviously it's still a ripoff because a 25G NIC does not cost $600.

To be fair he also talks about NTP and RPis.

A normal non-GPU PCIe x4/x8 slot that you'd use for a NIC provides 25 W.

A Mac Studio is over 100 W while a 25G NIC is under 25 W (that's the power limit for a normal PCIe slot).

I assume Anthropic already contacted the affected companies and negotiated some settlement before releasing this. Unlike a lot of other commenters, I think these mistakes were actually mistakes and accepting a settlement is better than rele

I don't know; "Claude was able to exfiltrate the company’s credentials" sounds bad. Maybe those credentials were just canaries though.

Stocks are back up so it looks like a fakeout.

That's not necessarily a joke; the article proposes exactly that.

Nobody knows how to stop jailbreaks so this law means 20 trillion of fines for SpaceXAI.

"Price fixing" isn't the correct term here but yes, it's very common to have the same price across different retailers/resellers.

I hate to disagree with Broadcom Throwaway himself but it's unlikely that the OpenAI Jalapeno ASIC has been deployed yet. It takes 6-12 months to test, develop software, ramp production, etc.

If you're smaller than OpenAI, you are liable. If you're larger than OpenAI, they are liable.

There are a ton of these and they're all behind your "company I've never heard of" blind spot.

If they had an embarrassingly parallel test, Intel would be exclusively promoting that misleading number just like they do with Cinebench. Let's not create even more totally unrepresentative benchmarks.

This is only true in the view of connoisseurs. Normal people overwhelmingly prefer AI design (and flattering, grandiose AI slop writing as well). And the naive designs he shows are still made with digital tools. People were probably making

Honestly I think the world would be better off if Geekbench just refused to run on any machine over 28C. Then people could benchmark their workstations using... workstation benchmarks.

AV1, Opus, Whisper, Jolt Physics... did you read the article? Are these not real?

Yeah, each die is 155 mm2 and the whole thing is around 2,000 mm2.

Some people do run Tailscale proxies in their home, and an always-on device like a TV is a good place to run it.
