USR stablecoin depegs in $24 million exploit

@xgranade love knowing that there will likely be another 2008-style crash soon. /s My only hope is that AI companies charging what it actually costs to run these things will put a damper on all the AI use in FOSS.

@reillypascal You better believe it will, in business as well: Huang was just saying that he expects devs to consume half their compensation in tokens alone.

When costs are $5000-10000+ per head, companies will balk.

And a 2008-but-on-PCP crash is all but baked in, and many who were too young to remember the 2009-2012 period are far, far too blasé about everything.

It will get so, so bad.

Yay, the #LegalEagle recap of the #AfroMan situation is out and it is absolutely hilarious. Cops are fucking evil bastards ​:acab:​

@rootwyrm @graydon @cstross I would challenge your assumptions:

— Apple doesn't sell “loss leaders”. It’s why even a simple USB cable can cost $20 and the VisionPro is $3500. The Neo is profitable.

— Apple is not cannibalizing, they’re pulling new users in. Services are a huge profit center. Neo customers will subscribe.

— MacBooks are known to be more durable than PCs. You can still see 10-year old iPhones or MacBooks in use. RAM? Cores? Only nerds care.

The Neo is a game-changer.

I picked up this copy of a Tintin comic in a waiting room. My first time reading Tintin as an adult. These comics are racist as f**k. The coloniser gaze is everywhere. As a child, I felt it but could never articulate it.

Edit: I found this Wikipedia page about it. This is indeed one of the most racist of the Tintin comic albums. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tintin_in_the_Congo
