@banteg The threads around it are absolutely nuts
People just don’t seem to understand that software engineering is already a changed profession and you are probably an unserious person if you use 0 AI in your code process
This is exactly what American politics needs
We need to be mocking idiots like the bankless guy who are breathlessly acting like any Muslim in power is an existential crisis (especially given the Republican Party happily embraces Christian fundamentalists)
Shawarma for all
@Fearthecow93@JustMicrock Sorry but when it comes to software development this take expired ~last December
Every competent software engineer uses AI now. Feel how you want about uses in things like art/writing/etc but software is different
I think the belgariad is an interesting comparison here
For a lot of fantasy readers it was an introduction to the genre that it’s hard to not have nostalgia about even though as an adult I wouldn’t call the writing particularly good
But then it came out that the eddings were terrible people that were locked up for being abusive
No one supports their behavior, obviously, but maintaining fondness for something relevant in our youth is obviously not indicative of support of it
Curtis yarvin had much more aura when people only pretended to read him and he wasn’t on X
Then he got on here and people actually read what he wrote and then realized he’s a pretend intellectual with regularly braindead takes
Few things have been as embarrassing as crypto influencers deep throating Trump and republicans for years while they literally drop massive shitcoin extractions on your head
Crypto is best when it’s adversarial against the state not being abused by the greedy fucks in power
@Ice_Trading@Cryptopathic@AlgodTrading I’m afraid weighing things by societal contribution isn’t going to do traders any favors, hence the neurosurgeon example
You know how incompetent national republican leadership has to be to turn Texas senate and governor blue
Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind
What a beautiful night
ok safe to say binance is pwned
The biggest assets were approximately:
• 1.615B USDT
• 62.6M RLUSD
• 29,934 wBETH
• 11,372 XAUt
• 6.19M UNI
• 198.4M ENA
• 7.175T PEPE
• 27.8M USD1
• 2.26M LINK
• 127,853 AAVE
about $2.5B at the explorer’s prices.
1. The attacker deployed a delegate contract, 0x63e842b0...73e9c6fAe, from the relayer at 15:59 UTC.
2. About four hours later, the relayer submitted an EIP-7702 authorization transaction
That installed the malicious 7702 delegate code on Binance 14.
3. The relayer then made a call to Binance 14, executing the delegate code, and transferring Binance 14’s ETH and token balances.
4. The calldata is labeled sweep(address, address[]). The second argument is a list of recognizable token-contract addresses plus the zero-address (eth).
5. The same relayer later used the same delegate to move 780M USDC from Binance Hot Wallet 34 into the same pool
• The relayer 0x7C... was funded by three Tornado Cash 0.1 ETH withdrawals over the prior two days.
• The same pool also received 28,005.6 ETH from Binance 16 24 seconds after the main sweep.
• The pool then forwarded 195,460 ETH to a fresh, unlabeled EOA
• That EOA has only one transaction and currently holds the 195,460 ETH.
What's a bit unclear is why the relayer was needed in the first place. If they had the private keys to the Binance wallets, they could have just sent the assets out in an atomic bundle without needing a relayer at all.
So it seems likely that they didn't have the private keys and instead just had the 7702 auth signatures, which must have been phished somehow.
I think we can go ahead and assume DPRK.
New wave of LLMs are so good (even cheap models like deepseek) that we’re contending with decades of past bugs all being found in a short period of time with disclosure and patch practices that don’t make sense in an era where people can trivially recreate exploits
And then just random incompetence with the Indian cert authority making their private keys weak, breaking a massive trust assumption across the web
Everyone tweeting about futures being green of course there won’t be a black Monday is sick in the head
You really want to tempt fate in this absurd world? Reading those posts makes me think it’s 5x likelier to happen not less
