If the EU wants to shut down Trump’s pressure on Greenland, just threaten to allow ASML to sell EUV machines to China. Done!

AI expert: “Super intelligent AI will be able to distribute itself widely, making it impossible to pull the plug.”
Same AI expert: “Super intelligent AI will emerge from hyperscaling and needs to run on a giant server cluster in OpenAI/Google data center. Can’t run on consumer hardware.”
Is there anything, short of a US civil war, that could prevent the US from centralizing military power worldwide and eventually becoming the World Government? Not sure even China is up to the task.
Make Bitcoin private enough that Saylor ragequits. Hope everyone is having a great New Year!
Merry Christmas Nostre! 🎄
I’m predicting that after computer hardware manufacturers have forced us all to run demanding software like games on their rented cloud services because consumer hardware is no longer made, there’s going to be a new hacker movement to turn decommissioned data center servers sold on eBay into PCs.
This is extremely promising for the decentralization of chip fabrication. https://www.ibselectronics.com/resources/news/china-shrinks-euv-hefei-lumiverse-unveils-desktop-light-source-for-14nm-chips/
I think I need to start building stuff I didn’t have before. For a long time every time I pick up a tool it’s to repair something that broke, so now tool use and mechanical and electronic work is associated with frustration. Need to find a way to get excited about it.
GPT-5.2 is doing pretty well with zig so far! Hope to see open source LLMs catch up soon. Deepseek v3.2 is inept in comparison.
Prediction: within 5 years Nvidia will stop selling consumer GPUs and push their cloud computing as the way to run any demanding software going forward.
Valve should make a Linux phone.
“What’s your name?”
“Alan”
“Coming right up, Alla!”

My vibe coded SaaS going live.
At what point do we stop worrying about the Bitcoin software we run being compliant with the law?
Are core devs really debating adding trusted censors to Bitcoin to keep “illicit” data off the blockchain? lol
Will the institutional rotation from Ethereum back into Bitcoin happen gradually or suddenly?
I just made pepper spray. Finely chopped some fresh cayenne pepper and dropped it into a hot frying pan with oil. Had my face over the pan when the steam cloud came up.
I wonder how long the CIA has had it.
