New comment by rideontime in "Olympic Committee bars transgender athletes from women’s events"

So it's the headline that's inaccurate. It should read "bars women with the SRY gene" rather than "transgender."

404 Media has an excellent track record and is very reputable, if you're saying the "red flag" applies to them.

I'm glad to see "Peter Thiel-backed" becoming a widely-recognized epithet.

As was I, but I don't see how the comparison to Best Buy supposedly aping Amazon is useful when step 1 is "don't go billions of dollars into debt for no benefit."

TLDR: One chain was gutted by private equity vultures, the other wasn't. Don't need an AI-generated slop article to tell me that.

> I don’t know how many people are involved in managing the ClawHub registry, but there is no evidence that the skills listed there are scanned by any security tooling. Many of the payloads we found were visible in plain text in the first paragraph of the SKILL.md file.

I shouldn't still be shocked by the incompetence and/or negligence of these people, and yet I am.

Are you sure that's "normal"?

Your commit is orphaned now; it seems he amended the log to a vague "Clean up code comments" to try to make the purpose less obvious: https://github.com/nkuntz1934/matrix-workers/commit/2d3969dd...

Wow. And he has the gall to claim this:

Days after the fake story about Cursor building a web browser from scratch with GPT-5.2 was debunked. Disbelief should be the default reaction to stories like this.

The political radicalization and the divorces. The strips he created after being fired by his syndicate are a bleak insight into his mindset in his final years. https://x.com/WyattDuncan/status/2011102679934910726
