Between 6 and 7 May 2017, 50 of the 97 Bitcoin seized by the NCA was transferred from a ‘retirement wallet’ owned by White to a public address in two transactions. The Bitcoin was then broken down into smaller amounts and transferred through the “Bitcoin Fog”, before being moved to other public addresses in an attempt to hide the trail of the money.

Kind of OT but as a James Joyce enjoyer I like the name, it evokes this paper which always stuck with me

Dawn: A study of the present age and Finnegans wake through a close look at FW page 594, one page sufficient for our time

Literally 250+ pages unpacking one single page of the original ~700 page book, much of which reads like it was encrypted/compressed.

How shitty would you feel, as a hotshot AI researcher who just delivered a model architecture getting way better scores than Google, Anthropic, and OpenAI in all kinds of industry-standard benchmarks ...

... and then learn Musk was high some night and just fucked with the system prompt, not knowing really what he's doing, ham-fistedly trying to make his egostistical conspiracy-deluded self the arbiter of truth and ethics for Humanity

I don't mind that Trump is kicking the USA in the nuts; the MAGAs love it.

I mind that, because USA is so massive, the whole of humanity is also impeded by these science-denying Christofascists

Will it be a tails spin? That might make a lot of sense

'twould be much better if only Crooks' finger had crooked a quarter second quicker

Well... it means I was (and fyi still am) the kind of rube that is on fixed salary but works way more than 9-5 M-F

But at least I do it in my PJ's at home

I delete all my social media periodically for similar reasons.

Even communities of people who are really level headed and supportive, like academics and engineers. Eventually there is groupthink, tribalism, and generally people who I am over (and I'm sure it's mutual)

Worse than Slack...

Now that is saying something

I had the opposite experience. Some in house devs are extremely talented and have (middle) management support.

(Upper management fires those groups and uses the savings to buy Atlassian)

Remember open source wikis? Twiki?

They were much better. More functional, faster, intuitive.

Corporates got rid of those and Atlassian got rich

BugZilla works for lots of usecases also
