Mau drops high level tradefi to Bitcoin bridge knowledge where bonds and bitcoin backed loans. “A mortgage is not a loan on your house. It’s a loan on your income. It’s just collateralized on your house.” This is dying. “The better the collateral asset, the bigger the securitization rate.” A bitcoin-backed loan bond is huge for propelling this mechanism for bitcoin holders to access liquidity without selling their Bitcoin. Congratulations Mauricio and Ledn! Delivering an S&P rating on a Bitcoin backed loan product. The first ever Bitcoin product to achieve an S&P rating... period.

Got to see a C8 Spyker in person at the auto museum where @npub1vxfg...hunh held dinner for #BitBlockBoom. Amazballs! Long time favorite car for the aesthetic and cockpit feel. Just look at that shifter mechanism.

Blockspace value’s exponental responsiveness to market activities depends on blockspace scarcity. FFPS is doomed as pool payout method. Bitcoin mining is the production of blockspace. — Bob Burnett of Barefoot Mining Some bangers from Bob today. image

image Prompt-Cloud compression in a production agent system running 24/7. Some findings for anyone burning tokens on repeat system prompts. Your system prompt is probably 60% behavioral prose and 40% exact values. Compress the prose. Preserve the values verbatim. Numbers, paths, entity names, threshold values: those stay untouched. The biggest payoff is high-frequency injection points. If a prompt loads on every turn, every cycle, every dispatch, even 30% savings compounds fast across thousands of invocations. Role definitions and workflow enforcement rules compress clean. They're pure intent. The model reconstructs the same behavioral frame from the dense form. But security rules with critical negations need to stay verbatim. "NEVER do X" buried inside a compound token can lose the negation. That's not a fidelity tradeoff you want to make. If you're managing a 1M context window and hitting compaction pressure, PC on the directive layers frees real budget for the things that actually need precision: facts, decisions, operational state. The workflow that works: keep the .md as your source of truth. Compile a .pc.md for injection. Validate by comparing behavior, not diffing text. If the model acts the same on both versions, the compression held.

Ditched Cursor, which I was only using ClaudeCodeCLI/GeminiCLI/CodexCLI in the embedded terminal and the Cursor file editor/explorer. The verdict is: Still loving cmux and Zed. (MacOS-specific recommendation) image

The rePeopling of Rome (and soon the new West): The simple virtues of the common man were not wanting in it. The family life of the Jews was exemplary, and the little Christian communities were troubling the pleasure-mad pagan world with their piety and their decency. But most of the inflowing peoples had literally been demoralized by uprootage from their native surroundings, cultures, and moral codes. Years of slavery had destroyed in them that self respect, which is the backbone of upright conduct; and daily friction, with groups of different customs, had worn away still more of their custom-made morality. If Rome had not engulfed so many men of alien blood in so brief a time, if she had passed all these newcomers through her schools instead of her slums, if she had treated them as men with a hundred potential excellences, if she had occasionally closed her gates to let assimilation catch up with infiltration, she might have gained new racial and literary vitality from the infusion—might have remained a Roman Rome—the voice and citadel of the west. The task was too great. The victorious city was doom by vastness and diversity of her conquests. Her native blood was diluted in the ocean of her subjects. Her educated classes were drawn down by the power of numbers, to the culture of those who had been her slaves. Much breeding overcame good breeding. The fertile conquered became masters in the sterile masters house. — An excerpt from Caesar and Christ, by Will Durant book III of The Story Of Civilization series. image
