Samourai team was not put to trial because of their code, but because they hosted the coinjoin servers. The samourai code is still available, but not their server.

Seems to me there is a compromise that privacy protocols face, the same way there is a compromise for usual transaction systems (decentralization, security, scalability): -data use (i.e fcmp++ uses more data than ring signatures) -anonimity (i.e zk is better than ring signatures) -compute (i.e quantum resistant proofs require heavier verification than pre-quantum)

My latest psyop is MFA. who needs it, what's the point? "to hAvE anOthEr LayEr of seCuriTy" You think the FANG guys really care about you being more secure? Try breaking out of google auth once you're in, and put your codes somewhere else... you can't! To me that sounds like an agenda for every dev to actually have smartphone when they are security nightmares! I fail to see the actual value gained from using MFA. device lost? now you can't login Passwords stolen? They can't login, but how did you lose these passwords in the first place? You probably have poor opsec lol. One 12 char password is really enough for security. I DONT want to have to use an MFA device every time I connect to something ffs.

Wonder what's y'all opinion on PoS (etherum implementation). Imo: -sampling based on staked amount actively rewards centralization -the chain consensus seems more brittle than basic length of chain (as it is done in bitcoin) -I fail to see how validation will adapt to increase/decrease in amount of validators. Seem like poor pipework. I'm very curious about what you guys think about the protocol. Not the general considerations such as "PoS coins don't represent energy" or "Vitalik is the failure point".

The Qwen3 series are the best open source pure text-to-text models. Qwen3.5 and Qwen3.6 are tuned for multimodality and agentic tool usage. Gemma models are about edge computing. The narrative is changing towards useless bullshit. I don't see the same knowledge and thinking density in other models. It's the most used models for ML research too I heared. When governments realize how much valuable those models are, they'll try slowly closing the open source gateways, so I strongly advise backing up those models!

As much as I love protocols I've realised there is always a failure point. Freedom isn't achieved by code but by spirit. That spirit still exists in Monero. Maybe it has left Bitcoin already.

I see a lot of notes about gender roles reversing, men castration, etc... Supposedly, in favor of women. I argue it's deeper than that. Both words, feminity and masculinity, have been stripped away of their meaning. Is a masculine men a toxic narcissist? A feminine women submissive and soft? Both of those ideals have been distorted by the devil's agenda, promiscuity, egoism, detachment....

Despite the alignement with fine tuning, open weights models still retain crucial information that the governments would call "harmful". All decoder-only models suffer from this. The guardrails are so weak, to revert this, fine tuning on explicitly harmful data (EHFT) essentially annihilates them. I know some techniques like exist but those blatantly cripple the LMs. I feel that actual jailbreaking techniques like EHFT are being silenced.
