mcmcmc··on Kalshi and its co-founders face felony charges for violating Utah gambling laws
Surely you’re being facetious, insider trading is obviously a huge problem that is rarely enforced and we’ve already seen instances of people actively influencing events or using false information to fake the result of a bet
mcmcmc··on Self-Employed? Solopreneur? NIST Has a Cybersecurity Guide Just for You
Sure, in the glossary. But you have to explain it first before you start throwing jargon around. Otherwise people will bounce off it or go off their own incorrect perception of the word because vanishingly few people in the target audience will bother with the glossary, or even realize one is there without a specific callout up front

I work in the MSP world and have supported hundreds of small businesses. Trust me when I tell you >80% of the people who should read this won’t make it past the first couple pages

mcmcmc··on Kalshi and its co-founders face felony charges for violating Utah gambling laws
If the differentiating factor is just who you’re betting against, how are Kalshi et al any different from online poker? It’s still gambling, the house just takes a rake

Kind proves the point it’s not written for the layperson no?

Have to agree with you. You can’t introduce concepts like phishing and MFA without actually explaining what they are.

Okay you first, see how it worked for Luigi Mangione
mcmcmc··on Police chief unplugs Flock cameras after company ignores contract cancellation
If your plate is recorded then later searched wouldn’t that be a violation of constitutional rights?

Do you not count people cutting down and smashing flock cams as being engaged?

Imagine an 80 year old bragging about acing screening tests for Alzheimer’s as if they were a Wonderlic, then shitting his pants in the Oval Office
mcmcmc··on Sam Altman Thinks You're Wasting DRAM
The part people take issue with is him saying it’s “terrible” not the assertion that it’s suboptimal in economic terms
mcmcmc··on Sam Altman Thinks You're Wasting DRAM
The problem is he has no desire for resources to be common assets, he wants them to be his assets
mcmcmc··on Proton's CEO Cancels AI 'Re-Interviews'
How much of the customer base actually follows their internal politics and dev processes?
mcmcmc··on Proton's CEO Cancels AI 'Re-Interviews'
> The thing with tech products is they could just leave and start another company.

This is such a cop out response. They still need funding, and infrastructure, and to build up an entire customer base who presumably they would need to bribe with free service at a loss in order to attract anyone new. Who’s gonna fund that when there’s a known market ceiling for the service that’s already been captured? We’re not in ZIRP anymore

mcmcmc··on Binance-hacker-1029 – $5.6B stolen from Binance
Can’t help but think there’s a possibility he orchestrated this somehow in exchange for a kickback from NK
mcmcmc··on Binance-hacker-1029 – $5.6B stolen from Binance
Yeah I didn’t realize his sentence was only 4 months which is pretty pitiful when he was financially supporting terrorism. You get more for having an ounce of weed in the wrong state.

Since when is X anything other than propaganda and porn

mcmcmc··on Binance-hacker-1029 – $5.6B stolen from Binance
He was convicted of laundering billions of dollars for Iran and Russia, then bought enough Trump coin for a pardon
mcmcmc··on Binance-hacker-1029 – $5.6B stolen from Binance
CZ the money laundering guy who bought a pardon from Trump right? He should still be in prison, still crazy Binance survived that whole scheme.

Most people probably wouldn’t cop to the real reason they use the CSAM and non-consensual nudes generator

I still think LLMs should be banned from using first person pronouns

(yes I understand this is likely not legal or practicable)

mcmcmc··on We won't "just hang out"
> unobtrusive AI that facilitates your creative and commercial endeavors.

I think you mean “subtly influences your behaviors and consumption decisions to align with the AI’s (or its owners) ideal outcomes”

mcmcmc··on We won't "just hang out"
What’s with BATNA invading the lexicon lately? There’s no negotiated agreement here

How do you possibly interpret that as bragging?
mcmcmc··on Meta Employees Denounce Interference in Brazilian Elections
“It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.”

— Upton Sinclair

mcmcmc··on Meta Employees Denounce Interference in Brazilian Elections
How? If you don’t follow orders you get fired eventually. No one has any real power at Meta other than Zuck.
mcmcmc··on Meta Employees Denounce Interference in Brazilian Elections
Your argument would carry more weight if the employees weren’t getting paid absurd sums of money. It’s very easy to stick around and keep getting rich while signing petitions and virtue signaling on social media.

And you sound like an internet revolutionary who’s never encountered actual violence
mcmcmc··on Job loss and cortisone mania
> are you confident that the current level of extraction is optimal, or sustainable?

No, I just don’t think a class war is the answer. Equitable and stable resource distribution doesn’t necessitate retribution towards the current ruling class. An imperfect system beats no system at all.
