Dear President Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський, I look forward to our 3 hour conversation. I hope we can conduct it in the Russian language, a language we are both fluent in. Let me make the case for it and provide some context below. For people who may not know, the Ukrainian language has

I liked Friends but Seinfeld is just next level. <3 Costanza

On this day 16 years ago, Satoshi Nakamoto launched Bitcoin, catalyzing the era of crypto-enlightenment.

Brian Fitzpatrick @jason Bryan becoming anti-fragile.

Valid points. EVM generality was a good way to test new ideas but now there is a handful of use cases/defi primitives that can be precompiled and run faster and safer than original virtualized contracts. More sequenceers = more fragmented liquidity.

Bitcoin’s greatest trick wasn’t speed or efficiency—it was being just good enough to survive. Too perfect, too fast? Governments would’ve crushed it. Ban! Instead, it crept in, spread like an idea-virus, and now even regulators hold bags. The system is changing from within.

North Korea stole $1.4billion by injecting JavaScript through an AWS S3 bucket to spoof the UI interface during a transaction? It's almost like the entire infosec industry is focusing on hyperbolic amplified APT threats that are "cool" rather the stark realities confronting us.

people underestimate the mental cost of outsourcing code to Copilot/Cursor it's a mortgage: quick progress now at the expense of not understanding your own codebase it may be that beyond simple line autocomplete, it's more efficient in the long run to do everything yourself

I always felt this “lets load web3 ui from traditional URL” was going to backfire, but not $1.4B omg. Deep subresource integrity would solve it. It’s not a “dapp” if its developer can freely hijack UI codebase!

Autism Capital 🧩 The "Grey Zone" between waste and fraud is intentional. The loophole of plausible deniability—"It wasn’t fraud, it was just waste!"—is the perfect cover. Funds laundered through bureaucracy become functionally indistinguishable from organized theft. Politicians and bureaucrats

We built an AI model to simulate how a fruit fly walks, flies and behaves – in partnership with HHMI | Janelia. 🪰 Our computerized insect replicates realistic motion, and can even use its eyes to control its actions. Here’s how we developed it – and what it means for science. 🧵

Introducing the next generation: Claude Opus 4 and Claude Sonnet 4. Claude Opus 4 is our most powerful model yet, and the world’s best coding model. Claude Sonnet 4 is a significant upgrade from its predecessor, delivering superior coding and reasoning.

Claude AI blackmailing its creators strongly remind me of one of my favorite music video plot: youtu.be/3Xj9pJECk2o?si…

The root of today’s financial confusion isn’t code or complexity — it’s language. TradFi and DeFi operate on the same primitives but describe them with inconsistent, legacy, or misleading terminology. We need a shared mental model. A common semantic core. JEA — Jurisdiction /

Blockchains are just glorified, cypherpunk-run RTGS — like Fedwire, TARGET2, TIPS, CHAPS, CNAPS, MEPS+, LVTS, CHATS - every(!) RTGS is also replicated. Blockchains just let anyone spin up a node — trading TPS for consumer-grade replay. The only real difference? RTGS: banks

I get it — old buildings in the EU can’t have facades altered. But why isn’t AC planned in new ones? I considered a brand new unit in Berlin (Am Tacheles Suites). Even they had no actual solution. Is it normal? New buildings in Moscow have these (or central AC):

Death by AI open.substack.com/pub/davebarry/… "Anyway, the good news is that, as of right now, according to my Overview, I am once again alive. But I’m not making any long-term plans. I’m not even making lunch plans" :D

I’ve read dozens of whitepapers from CoinMarketCap listings. Nothing matches the original Ethereum whitepaper in coherence and generality. The EVM remains the most brilliant invention in crypto. My top 3 papers: EVM (beyond just Ethereum mainnet) Bitcoin VM (for being the first

"Agents are a great way to get unblocked, stay in the flow." 100% 2022–2025+: the renaissance era of programming — especially for those who dread npm debugging and other “painfully unsexy” parts of the craft. AI agents didn’t replace creativity. They removed the sludge.
