Strange story… this guys startup filed an antitrust lawsuit against TicketMaster which ended up with TicketMaster… acquiring his company? Seems like something is being left out.

I always get the impression that CoPilot critics have never actually used it to get any work done and are basing their criticism solely on a tweet they saw about the Quake square root copy pasta function

Is this the end of Legos?

No. The entire purpose of cryptocurrency is to enable holding assets without intermediaries having custody of the assets. Whether or not you think this is valuable is another question, but it is undeniable that this is the technical ability

This isn’t cryptocurrency, these are sketchy unlicensed banks with a cryptocurrency theme. People holding coins in their own wallets are entirely unaffected. I hope that crypto exchanges are outlawed soon.

FTX did not allow people to “store and transact value without interference”. It was an institution which held user funds. All FTX users who transferred the crypto they bought out to their own wallets were unaffected by this scam. It was the

Why would this make someone question crypto? FTX was not a blockchain. It was a website run by one guy which (incorrectly) told you that he was holding some crypto for you. FTX could have been an exchange for anything, and it would have bee

One question I have about these employer-run mastodon servers- what if you wanted to say something bad about your employer? Seems like that wouldn’t really work out well.

FTX WAS a corrupt bank/betting parlor. Cryptocurrency is about self custody and full transparency. This is what blockchains allow. FTX was people depositing money in SBF's personal piggy bank. FTX has nothing to do with crypto, ot

This has nothing to do with Bitcoin or not. Bitcoin was probably one of FTXs largest assets. Every cryptocurrency allows self custody, as this is core to the concept.

No it's literally just a good faith effort to err on the side of customer satisfaction being exploited to steal a soda.

This has nothing to do with crypto, it has to do with people sending their money to a con man. If your friend had "his identity tied up in crypto", then why wasn't he holding it himself?

Why does voting need to be automated at all? Elections have run fine for hundreds of years with manual counts.

Seems like it was working as intended, that if there was some blockage in the machine that resulted in the soda getting released but then getting stuck, you'd want a refund.

These oil and gas futures are all publicly traded, as are most of the corporations working in the field. If it’s really so easy to make money because the market is rigged, guess what? You can get in on the action too.

Also as I said in my comment, the people who want Trump banned do not want to prevent themselves from seeing his tweets, they want to prevent other people from seeing his tweets. This is what Mastodon prevents. If they just didn’t want to s

The uptick of interest in Mastodon due to Musk buying Twitter doesn’t make sense. Only the left is angry about the acquisition. The right is gleeful. What the left is angry and the right is gleeful about is the idea that Musk is a “free spe

The authors of these comments have never used it. Their understanding of the issue comes from having seen a tweet where someone coaxed CoPilot into almost-reproducing a piece of code that thousands of people have copy and pasted into their

This uses a TEE (a chip that is hard to take apart contain a private key provided by Intel), so the privacy system is very boring (they think the person who owns the TEE will not be able to see what the chip is doing).

It's entirely valid to be allowed to judge other's behavior, and guess at their motives, especially the (former?) richest man in the world. Mental models of other people are a core part of being conscious.

> You can't just take 20 lines of completely stolen code, modify a few things, and call it your own. That's exactly what I said in my comment. I wouldn't take 20 lines of code, since it wouldn't actually work. Even if
