Me reading “Optimal Illusions”. The author seemed like she was on her way to blaming capitalists for optimizing for all the wrong things but then she suddenly took a hard right turn and proceeded to blame math instead of businessmen for why capitalism is out of control. Ended with a nice stroking of Sam Altman’s ego. She now lives on a tiny island in Washington where the liberal mathematicians can’t hurt her.

You’re placing a lot of trust in corporations to respect the idea of backups, but you do you I guess

I see that you don’t like the idea of local storage in case you need to use your coins on the road, but you do know that local storage doesn’t mean your coins are stored on your device, right? It just means your private keys are stored on your device. You should just create a wallet on one device and then copy the private keys to all of your devices.

If you don’t own your private keys, you don’t own your coins. Use services only to buy/sell, not for storage

I’m gonna be looking for a new job soon and I’ve been reading stuff like this more & more. Makes me really scared. I guess reaching out to recruiters directly via LinkedIn is more important than ever. I also hope the AI software hasn’t made its way down to small/medium-sized companies yet, since those are the ones I’d rather work for anyways

I was hoping this would allow me to take over Bluetooth speakers that people use while skiing and replace their music with a PSA about how no one wants to hear their music

The ORIGINAL source code is copyrighted, but decompiling does not give you the original source code. Decomp tools give you generic variable names like unsigned_int_4 and then it’s up to you to decipher what the purpose of the variable even is and give it a relevant name. So it’s virtually impossible you’ll get a character-for-character match to the original.

Also, decomps have different levels of accuracy. You may get something that is a perfect behavioral match, even though there’s differences in the instructions being run. You may get an instruction-perfect match but not a byte-perfect match between the binaries.

IANAL but this is what I’ve learned from following decomp projects on YouTube
