Yuri Orlov is back

Does freezing stablecoins have a deflationary effect? Frozen stablecoins will probably never be unfrozen unless the bad guys are caught (and reveal their private keys). Or does Tether stop backing the frozen units and redeploy the reserve dollars to new units?

There was this brief period in humanity’s history when code was written by hand. Pretty much all exploits were the result of human error when coding.

When you log out from Yakihonne on desktop, it offers to save your credentials in clear in a text file (private key + public key). Is this a known bug or a feature?

Ordered one to fight off the haze in Singapore (which has been very bad this year). Should arrive this week. @Joe Nakamoto

En 2026 la principale utilité d’une école c’est de servir de garderie géante.

On peut avoir accès à l’éducation sans être obligé de passer 7h par jours assis à 35 dans une salle de classe avec une cantine.

Un accès internet et un portable sont suffisants en restant au calme à la maison sans le stress et la pression d’une école. Avec une IA comme coach et occasionnellement des passages ponctuels en labo de chimie lorsqu’un équipement spécifique est vraiment nécessaire. Se faire des amis, faire du sport et rencontrer du monde, on n’a pas besoin de l’école pour ça. Et surtout pas d’une école financée avec de l’argent confisqué aux citoyens par la force (taxes) ou par la fraude (impression monétaire).

“Flash was born because the tablet failed and it died because the tablet returned” Remember when you couldn’t play video in a browser without it? Amazing story.

Made some progress with my low-latency C++ setup. Now has 2 environments: - a mobile “dev/test”: Ubuntu VM running on a MacBook - a fixed “production”: bare metal Linux on a 2013 MacBbook with Intel Core i7-3635QM (quad-core Ivy Bridge chip from 2012) Claude Code is running on both. 👉the “dev” machine is where coding and initial testing happens - code, compile and build in vscode - test algorithms for performance and correctness with a synthetic traffic generator. - measure with Google Benchmark 👉the “prod” machine for more “realistic” tests: - for instance: feed binaries with actual market data traffic (from NASDAQ historical market data sample file) - Because it’s an actual Intel machine and not a VM, a number of things are possible: - inspect hardware counters, perform TMA investigation (see screenshot). - perf stat can display TopdownL1, TopdownL2, TopdownL3 and all tma_xxx counters. - isolate cores - pin threads to cores - enable/disable huge pages - disable Turboboost, disable hyper-threading, - build flame graphs “prod” stays at home because it’s an old Macbook from 2013 whose swelling battery was surgically removed. “prod” can be remote-controlled from “dev” through the Claude session (or from SSH / remote desktop potentially)

I don’t care about Liquid Glass. I just want to be able to rename desktops

Observed a subtle drift when running Claude CLI under Linux: Month1: Plan Mode. “Let’s have a discussion about your approach” Month2: Manual Mode. “yes I approve” “yes I approve” “yes I approve” Month3: Auto Mode. “Still nobulizing? C’mon, run faster” Month4: “Can’t sudo this, can’t sudo that, what can you do?” Month5: Running Claude as root admin.

Merchants using Wallet of Satoshi are now getting this message when trying to create an invoice. I could not pay yesterday because of it.
