trying to sell the idea of decentralization to the masses is like trying to sell the idea of opensource to business people; it will never work; you cannot sell them a solution without mentioning them the problem. So explain "lack of counterparty risk" and "lack of vendor lock-in"
I don't know if it's because Google owns YouTube, but their "AI mode" works beautifully when you request it a summary of a youtube video, no need to spend so much time listening to lengthy podcasts!

The general population is about to realize why KYC is a massive liability to themselves personally. There is a tidal wave of identity theft incoming, all because governments have mandated KYC for almost everything and nobody can secure those details in the age of AI hacks.
vibecoding doesn't (and will probably never) beat the compounded craftmanship built by the network effect of many devs working together in the same codebase over the years

I’m thinking about banning Claude code at Shopify until they change their mind and read AGENTS.md and .agents/skills etc.
Insisting on only reading CLAUDE.md sometimes leads to split brain problems when different team members use different tools. Just unnecessary.

We’ve been on a side-quest, and we have good news from the other side! 40 million Kenyans now have a bitcoin Lightning Address! They didn’t need to sign up for one because they had it this entire time, attached to the phone number in their pocket!
Try it: send bitcoin to [email protected] (254 is optional). The BTC arrives as KES in their M-Pesa. ⚡ EVERY M-Pesa number works. All 40,000,000.
Wallets with LUD-09 support give you a nice clickable link to see your M-Pesa receipt. For example: bitcoin.co.ke/receipt/6528a4…

Wtf? Just use PPQ.
- No KYC
- Account optional

Claude now requires government ID verification (via Persona) before subscription.
ChatGPT doesn't.
Gemini doesn't.
Anthropic just handed their competitors a gift.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Misleading. This is only in some specific cases, and other companies like OpenAI also do this.

Global sea surface temperatures are once again in record territory, yesterday at 21.11°C, a temperature not seen in any year prior to 2024.
We live in interesting times.
F# a-ha moment: lack of reraise support in async{} blocks is not that important, just use Result<,> instead!
happy 10 year anniversary FSharpLint! #fsharp github.com/fsprojects/FSharp…

NASA astronaut demonstrating the Dzhanibekov effect. An astronaut noticed this physical behavior of a handle, that turned out to be the proof of a theorem: the tennis racket theorem (also dubbed the Dzhanibekov effect)
The Tennis Racket Theorem states that an object with three unique moments of inertia, rotation about the axis of intermediate moment of inertia is unstable, while rotation about the other two axis is stable.
The effect is named after the Russian cosmonaut Vladimir Dzhanibekov who discovered this phenomenon while in space in 1985.
