Today, like every June, students in France sat for the philosophy exam. The two essay questions this year: - Do we control our words? ("Avons-nous la maîtrise de nos paroles ?") - Can we be happy when others are not? ("Peut-on être heureux quand les autres ne le sont pas ?") 4 hours. You and the page. This kind of exercise should be mandatory, in particular in the age of LLMs. It's not about "how smart are you?" or "did you choose the right answer?", but whether you can think coherently and mount your own line of reasoning. A muscle people are going to have to use lest it atrophy.

so it begins. golden opportunity for the EU to bring back talent: - offer 3 year income tax exemption and fast track visa for their families, - access to research grants and fellowships via defense, NGI, NLnet, universities etc - do it now View quoted note →

I keep hearing that agents are much more effective with statically typed languages, but have seen no evidence that's true.

yo @Max you were wondering about ASmap creation process recently on the pod. We're doing a "collaborative run" tomorrow, join us :)

Matching Hashes: Reproducing the Guix-built Bitcoin Core release binary with Nix

Earlier this week, I produced a Nix-built bitcoind binary for Bitcoin Core v31.0 whose hash exactly matches the official Guix-built x86_64-pc-linux...

if there was a solid nix recipe that matches guix builds reliably that would be very good.

mistral finally released a really solid model with medium-3.5. Deepseek 4. Kimi 2.5. Maple AI excellent product update. PPQ crushing it. Routstr. open source AI lookin very bright these days...

the interesting part of the quantum saga is that there is a burst of cryptography research pushing new boundaries. very exciting time

agree its sad we're stuck on fees UIs. must change. View quoted note →

openclaw is the first implementation of a new category of software. It's fairly clear (read the codebase) that it's not the best and not the last implementation of this idea. First mover advantage doesn't get you much here.

anybody want to send replit credits for sats?

Some ASmap developments: an embedded ASmap will be shipped with Bitcoin Core starting in v31. Fabian went on the Optech pod to discuss the PR and the ASmap initiative in general. It's a good overview, check it out!
