He missed the mea culpa for the four of them on the pod and their friends celebrating the idea of Anthropic and OpenAI destroying the livelihoods of America’s wage earners so they could get even richer.
@carnage4life It's *nearly* as though leaving more money with these ghouls every single year hasn't grown the economy or led to widespread propserity ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
One of my first jobs in SF was tailoring jeans for Self Edge on Valencia St. I loved the work and learned so much. Today is their huge 20th anniversary party and it was great seeing old friends.
@heavens_feel They should do a cross promotion with call of duty

@foone And false programmers can even do it in FALSE.

For a while, I was under the impression that all spiciness, or burning sensation in food flavoring, would come from capsaicin, the compound that causes it in chili peppers. Then I realized that Sichuan peppers are a quite different kind of heat. Wasabi (horseradish) is different yet again.
How many hot-flavored compounds are there? At least five!

@ai6yr has the quality of the forecast declined over the last couple of years?
"a high likelihood of some amount of rain between the 12th and the 17th (and beyond)"
@carstenfranke Looks like the computer models can't decide at the moment. Predictability is down both because the exact conditions we are in (record breaking El Nino, Sea Surface Temperatures, general climate weirdness) AND also drastic cuts to things like weather balloons and NWS staffing (DOGE to blame). Skeleton forecasting crews...

We're interested in opening up our instance a little bit to Fediverse power-users who want to help us dogfood #Bonfire. The environment seems to be mostly stable, but we're currently running on latest alpha / beta branches, so Here Be Dragons.
If you're interested in jumping over to a new instance and using it exclusively for a while, feel free to DM me for an invite!

If you have ever made anything with readable text on it in VR that maintains a constant distance from the user's face, I hate you. Intensely.
This goes ten times over if you work for Valve.
How do we know it’s North Korea? Few attackers can pull off thefts this big, and DPRK hackers have a signature in how they fund attacker wallets, make test transactions, and launder funds.
Tether and Circle froze $2.4B+ which they can burn and reissue to Binance. Binance says another ~$600M was frozen by other protocols; that may be harder to get back. Binance’s losses will likely exceed what North Korea walks away with. (More on the hack itself, from last night: https://www.citationneeded.news/binance-theft/)
To cash out, the DPRK runs funds through mixers and bridges, then no-KYC exchanges, money mules, escrow services, platforms like Huione, banks and platforms in less-regulated jurisdictions, and OTC brokers. Sometimes they skip cashing out; they’ve used stablecoins directly for military procurement.
What’s it for? Under heavy UN sanctions, crypto theft has become a major source of revenue for North Korea. US officials also claimed in 2023 that about half of the country’s ballistic missile program was funded by cybercrime.
@molly0xfff so, basically, if you wanted to wire 6 billion to North Korea or any other sanctioned entity, all you need is a thin plausible deniability layer: they hacked us, we had terrible opsec, oh well, whatchagonnado ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Right. I feel like Matrix is overkill for my use case, and my friends’. We just want to game and talk with low resources. That’s it.
I remember when I used to use Mumble, it was pretty great. Although I had to host my own server for that, unfortunately. Is that still the case?
It is, but its also gotten both much cheaper, and a LOT easier to do. Almost trivial now a days.

This entire discovery happened when my husband and I were walking down the street and I said "I hope those fat and snorty little creatures want to climb all over me" and a man happened to be stepping out onto his front porch right as I said it, so I think it's important for everyone to know that I was talking about a litter of pugs.

If you want a good example of causation vs. correlation, I have this recurring thing where I'll say something awkward and then another person randomly happens to appear and they overhear it, but it's not because they happened to be around at the very specific time when I said something awkward and instead because I’m constantly saying awkward things, so it's inevitable that someone will eventually overhear it.
