@ViktorBunin There is some upside about Mamdani potentially being an NYC mayor. If you are short on money, you can always start a new business venture that buys up subsidized groceries from government ran grocery stores, and then resell them at the actual market rate price. 💰💰💰

New Yorkers, you have a duty to come out and vote against Zohran Mamdani in today’s Democratic Primary election. I’ve compiled a list of his policies below and highlighted why they will be disastrous for all of us and our children. Please read. Please vote. 1/ Rent freeze on rent-stabilized units This one is also absurd. 45% of NYC rental units are rent stabilized. Over the last 10 years, rents for rent stabilized units have gone up 15-18%. Want to guess how much rents have gone up for non stabilized units? 40-60%!!! They are already getting an absolutely incredible deal. How is it fair that half of New Yorkers need to subsidize the other half when it comes to rent costs? Are some lives more valuable than others? Do they add more to society? Freezing rents for those units will have a single, obvious outcome - landlords will abandon maintaining those units or just convert them while the rest of us will have to pay even higher rents. We’ve seen the same thing in SF and in Argentina - rent control fueled shortages and decay while removing rent control brings many properties on the market and lowers the average rent. 2/ Free city buses Public transportation is already incredibly cheap in NYC. Our fares only cover 35% of the total MTA budget - it’s not like anyone is getting rich off these fares. Mamdani’s free bus scheme is a budget-busting pipe dream that’ll gut NYC’s transit system. Without a funding plan, it mirrors Kansas City’s failed experiment, which slashed routes due to revenue losses. His reckless promise threatens service cuts and higher taxes, leaving commuters stranded. This isn’t progressive—it’s irresponsible. Mamdani’s clueless about balancing budgets, and his half-baked idea will derail public transit while fleecing taxpayers. 3/ City-owned grocery stores GROCERY STORES NET PROFIT IS 1.6%. Even if it were 0%, would New Yorkers save much? Obviously no. Who here has visited the DMV, Post Office, or other government-run service and said to themselves “I wish the food I put on the table for my children depended on the government.” I’m from Russia and we’ve tried every variation of government-run services. It is literally retarded to look at the picture when Boris Yeltsin went grocery shopping in Clear Lake and think to yourself “you know, I would really rather be the socialist rather than the capitalist.” It’s just going to result in empty shelves, horrible service, and insane cost overruns because no one will use them. 4/ Eliminating SHSAT and specialized high schools A free, high quality public education for smart and hardworking kids is the best path to get out of poverty and start living the American dream. I know because I’ve done it. Zohran, WHO HIMSELF ATTENDED A SPECIALIZED HIGH SCHOOL, now wants to eliminate programs for the gifted and talented. He wants to turn NYC into the next SF, causing parents to leave the city because there will be no place where they can get a good education. This policy honestly makes my blood boil - it’s so anti-human and unamerican. 5/ Defending "globalize the intifada" slogan There are 1.2m Jews living in NYC. That’s 8% of the world’s Jewish population, second only to Israel. There’s a really good chance either you or a close friend of yours is Jewish. My Jewish friends are already scared to send their kids to synagogue. Jewish events I go to send out the location a few hours before to not be targeted. Hate crimes against Jews are on the rise and his refusal to renounce and condemn the phrase “globalize the intifada,” which is a dog whistle that means to commit violence against Jews, makes him unelectable in our city. We must protect all citizens equally, not pick a different flavor of racism every time there's an overseas conflict. Zohran Mamdani is a child and a socialist He has never run any organization of any size. He has never managed a budget. He’s never operated a business. He has no relevant experience other than being in the state assembly for a few years in which he got nothing done. NYC has a $100bn budget per year with millions of people and businesses. Zohran has the most unworkable proposals that can only come from an idiot socialist. No one is shouting their support for Cuomo from the rooftops because he sucks. It’s sad that our election has to mirror national elections where all the choices are bad, but I beg you, don’t go down the SF route. Let Cuomo keep the city afloat rather than letting Zohran destroy it. Please vote.

Is it just me or is @grafana cloud completely down and inaccessible for everyone?

@me_irl As different AI companies add integrations of AI models with outside world (like terminal commands, other commands that access internet, etc), it will be quite fun to watch all the ways they will get hacked and escaped from their sandboxes

heres a fun trick you can do on the computer

@svpino A game where players’ input gets incorporated within few days seems like a great concept. IMO, it’s not really about AI, it’s about having a game where people feel they are actively part of the game itself. That is the concept that real indie game developers should pick up

The game community in shambles, throwing tantrums and melting down because an indie hacker built a $100k/mo game in a week is worth of studying. People are now realizing that someone with agency and the guts of putting something out there is out-earning decades of technical experience and studies. We are watching live the cognitive dissonance and disbelief that happens when people too high on their own supply realize that AI has changed the rules.

Everyone seems to be into vibe coding these days, but asking these LLMs any questions about EVM or Solidity definitely doesn’t pass the vibe check. GPTs especially seem the most confident in their hallucinations. And they also seem to have wildest hallucinations.

📣 CeloTerminal v2.3.0 is out now. This version brings in fixed support for the latest Ledger firmware. If you upgrade to CeloTerminal v2.3.0, make sure you also upgrade your Ledger device firmware! It is also compatible with CEL2 (can be used on Alfajores network for testing)

I am guessing some @CertiK employee was probably contemplating to just steal as much money as possible and just ditch. They probably got scared and decided to report the hack "as a white hat" instead, after few days. Complete 🤡 show.

Lol, an auditing company @CertiK hacks an exchange @krakenfx . After few test transactions, they go ahead and straight up steal 3M dollars. Even their own timeline of events makes no sense. There is a huge delay between the hack and reporting. 🤡🤡🤡

Is Tucker still in Moscow? He will be amazed by the low price of human life in Putin's Russia.

Thanks to team @coinbase for following up and getting the issue resolved promptly!

If you have someone from engineering reach out, I can share plenty of logs and data that can help you pinpoint the issue and hopefully fix it before it leads to much more serious losses. @coinbase @CoinbaseExch @CoinbaseSupport

Dear @coinbase , you have a rare, but very serious bug in your advanced trading system where it can lose track of funds in certain scenarios. Your @CoinbaseSupport is not capable of resolving this type of issue.

I just want to take a moment to thank @Ledger once again for leaking all our personal information. I am really enjoying the ever increasing spam call/email/etc traffic that I am receiving.....

This type of model could replicate and penetrate 100s of thousands of exploitable devices in a very short time period. This would be like the original “Morris Worm” virus on steroids. It could easily affect critical infrastructure systems across the whole world.

Now imagine an AI model that is trained for sole purpose of “surviving” and “replicating” itself. This can be a fun experimental project that can go really wrong if the model starts to exploit existing (or new) vulnerabilities across internet connected devices.

I used to think that AI running wild was just a fantasy. However, recent developments show that there really is a potential for very dangerous, out of control experiments. Even current version of #ChatGPT has shown ability to discover vulnerabilities .

@Carnage4Life This is pretty misguided advice for ambitious ICs. If your manager doesn't care about their own career growth (or isn't as ambitious as you are), your growth will be severely limited too in most organizations.

I am so confused. Costumers took money out from #FirstRepublic bank and moved it to bunch of other banks because they were worried for their deposit safety. And these other banks just moved those deposits back to #FirstRepublic?

@toly That already exists: investor.vanguard.com/investment-pro… That is also default Vanguard Settlement Fund. If you are using Vanguard, your "deposit account" is basically doing what you want right now.

The fed has weird incentives. It needs to force depositors to take risk when they would rather not. If there was an alternative bank that only used 4 week t-bills and passed the rate to depositors that would be bad for commercial lending.

Money markets have way better structure for "holding cash" vs bank deposits. Any cash that needs to be held for longer term (i.e. not needed immediately within a month or two) should just be in low-risk money market funds not in checking accounts. Some of these fancy banks should also stop treating their checking accounts like they are money markets too!

The whole premise of fractional reserve banking is flawed. It's a confidence game and rumors spread fast these days. Ordinary people should not have to constantly DD their banks. Fortunately, there is a type of bank that just vaults cash. Unfortunately, Feds are blocking it. decrypt.co/122525/custodi…
