The researcher who uncovered today's Claude Code extensions backdoor confirmed that Binance were using said extensions through Cursor.

That means one of the working hypotheses is the threat actors had direct SSH access to Binance machines/environments.

Right – they can't argue for acceleration factored in their own value, if it's a property of the whole surrounding market.

IMO, US AI providers are not leaders in efficiency anyway, they're still running the original ~2010 playbook that led to LLMs ("What if we took ML researchers' work, but funded it at 50M/yr instead of 250k/yr?").

They're currently arguing for the continuation of that approach: Scale funding first, and the rest will follow. It is high-risk and WeWork-like, by nature.

Hello from Québec! Yes, with the right structure and guardrails in place, you definitely get better costs for citizens and businesses. Citizens can also petition the government when something needs fixing, which is better than "fuck you if you're not a shareholder".

For an example of the opposite, you can unfortunately look at the Canadian telcom oligopoly.

Wipr is my recommendation as well. It's great both on Mac and iOS.

Ternus being named CEO is a long-term project that certainly includes him and Tim Cook. I don't think it's a surprise to anyone internally that there are several big releases after his nomination.

I think the point was that moving towards these outcomes (bit by a snake, ripped apart by a shark) are examples of failure.

Ditto. The cheapest iCloud subscription includes everything necessary. My partner and I both have emails through our respective personal domains, all on the same sub – I think the limit is 3 custom domains.

Pass4Wallet has been my go-to recently (among the free options)
