    Can't New York go after payment processors and stop anyone from paying them money or people cashing out?

    I started college right after the .com crash. Everyone who treated their education as a simple wealth maximization optimization went into other majors. The number of incoming CS ma…

    7-OH is the name for derivatives of kratom that contain the active ingredients. It has opioid-like addiction tendencies. Lots of people who used kratom to wean themselves off opioi…

    Strong appears to be a fitness tracker. It's in competition with a spreadsheet. OnX appears to be heatmaps as a service for outdoor recreation. They have to cover their opex costs.…

    The OS handles all of that transparently, without requiring any additional code. I think that is the draw.

    Peiter Zatko profits, personally and professionally, from conflating the two. Making such bold pronouncements is a way for him to stay relevant. Also, I've known some thoroughly un…

    Or maybe they have different incentives and don't see providing an inference as a service for the entire world as a viable business model. Open source isn't a zero-sum game.

    I think China "advancing" faster is better. Hoarding some magic numbers on a hard drive isn't a sound business plan, and shouldn't be what we're betting the farm (literally) on.

    For images, it makes sense: people dealing with 16k x 16k PNGs are uncommon. Give them an error message that tells them the setting to bump. But what should be the threshold for "b…

    Stranger danger was always rare. It was a media hype-cycle. Child abductions have always predominantly been by family or other close persons.

    How do you prevent compression bomb attacks when files can define their own compression functions? You could have some kind of OOM killer, but that will be a "footgun" that people …
