The final frontier of consumerism has arrived in South Korea.

Benjamin Netanyahu says October 7th was the equivalent of "sixteen 9/11s." "Proportionately," the death of 1,200 Israelis is "equal to" the death of 40,000 Americans, he says.

Had an "interview" for a blockchain project last week. Camera was on, we're chatting, and the guy tells me to clone a GitHub repo and run it locally before we go further into the technical round. I said sure, but first can you do me a favor hold up 3 fingers in front of your face for me real quick. He froze. Didn't move. Just sat there for a few seconds before the call cut off and he blocked me. That's when I knew. A real interviewer doesn't glitch out over a random ask like that. A deepfake/AI overlay does. These "run this repo" scams are getting scary common in crypto and dev hiring right now. The setup is always the same: - flattering DM - real-sounding project - rushed timeline - a "quick step" before the call that's really just remote access or a credential stealer in disguise. If someone wants you to run code or install something before you've even had a real conversation, that's the whole scam. Trust the instinct. Stay safe out there.

Just learned a friend has been buying $200 worth of memecoins a week since 2022, ~$40k to date. He cut $800 monthly expense to do this by cooking, biking to work, reducing frivolous spend, etc. His stack is now $14. He hasn't sold yet and intends to keep going. Respect.

FRUIT FLY BRAIN MINES BITCOIN AT POTENTIAL 10X ASIC EFFICIENCY Introducing HashFly by @FutureBit, an experimental Bitcoin miner based on a reconstructed fruit fly brain using 2,914 real neuron connections to run SHA-256. The team says that if the system could be scaled using actual organic neurons, it could theoretically hash at roughly 1 W/TH, around 10x more energy efficient than leading 3nm silicon ASICs. For now, it’s an experiment. But biologically inspired Bitcoin mining is officially a thing.
