If you think Trump is bad, wait until you see the pendulum swing to full-blown communism in 2028. The middle is gone.

Bitcoin has probably entered an era of any news of its use as permissionless cypherpunk money or privacy improvements resulting in the price crashing on speculation that it will be removed from US reserves. Hope I’m wrong.

Why don’t they make desktop PC GPUs with like 256GB of VRAM yet? Why are they all still fucking around with 16-32GB?

The gravity well of 58k attracts.

This is a GPU cluster for AI training today. nostr:nevent1qqsyqnpafwtf4xnjd90wuzvfphy27het0awpv35cf8esylwnjyjtpkcprfmhxue69uhhq7tjv9kkjepwve5kzar2v9nzucm0d5hs4tp6kd

I wonder if the smart contract exploit that enabled the $1.4B ETH theft will lower support for OP_CAT in Bitcoin.

An open source CPU would be pretty sweet. https://www.scmp.com/tech/tech-war/article/3293610/chip-war-chinese-scientists-vow-launch-breakthrough-risc-v-open-source-cpu-2025

Release a free and open source version of Grok that competes with OpenAI’s latest model every time and OpenAI is done. nostr:nevent1qqs23t9377csrtdj4ccdnx34376qsm4z3ytndrzf93qpgx7qpy6xqvspz3mhxue69uhkymm5wvh82arcduhx7mn99u6qqzjp

Why does round 3 out of 5 in the workout always bring out the mental barriers more than any other round?

I think there’s a strong chance we hit the BTC price high for this cycle already. HOWEVER, I don’t believe we’re going to see a massive crash in the bear market either. The historical volatility will get front-run on both ends.

Should have used Zig. Memory safety (though easier to foot gun than in Rust) and easy integration with C. https://www.theregister.com/2025/02/05/mixing_rust_and_c_linux/

No altcoins are good investments but ETH has got to be one of the worst. On top of the infinite supply there is the issue of it being easy and cheap to use other chains like Solana for L2 tokens. Decentralization and security aren’t really issues because no nation state or sophisticated attacker gives a shit about an NTF. Stablecoins like Tether can be done on BTC, LN and side chains. There is no moat.
