bro gemini sucks!! every single model including argon. I've been secretly hoping and hoping "it's just me" but fuck!!
fucking useless company @Google @GeminiApp @GoogleDeepMind
whoa.. I've always loved minimax and now it's cheaper, comparable to deepseek 1017
MiniMax M3.1 Flash: Space Performance + Bunny Speed
🚀🐰 Yes, Space Bunny - which has topped global leaderboards with 200T+ tokens - was an earlier version of M3.1 Flash.
💰Redefining the performance economics of agentic AI. M3.1 Flash achieves frontier-level intelligence across key tasks such as Cowork (Automation-Bench: 62%; ALE: 30%), Coding (DeepSWE: 74%) and Visual Reasoning (BabyVision: 91%), at 1/3 the cost of M3 and 3x the speed.
API pricing (flat rate): $0.15 / $0.60 per 1M input/output tokens, with cache reads at $0.015 / 1M tokens.
Model weights will arrive on Oct 23.
API: platform.minimax.io
M Plan: minimax.io/m-plan

US only for now, but X is about to start paying you for videos you're posting.. could even be videos posted to other platforms as long as you own them.
BREAKING: X is coming for Youtube. X is now offering $5,000 to post 15 videos on X in 30 days. Wow!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
X is rolling out a selective Video Kickstart Bonus (up to $5k) in Creator Studio. Enroll by Oct 30 if shown; post 15 own videos on 15 days in 30 days for guaranteed payout (no views; priors count). Fast-tracks Original Content Rewards. Not for all.

seems argon is their best model and it's still underwhelming and underperforming compared to other labs.. too early to say anything but I'm not sure it matches opus 5.5 and opus is available for all subscribers!
wonder how much worse the remaining models in the 4 family would be
well said.. my only regret here is it took way too long to realize that this industry is a clown
priority here is to make the money.. I think a terrible global calamity is only when crypto, especially bitcoin to live up to the actual reason it was created
all good regardless
The truth is, most of you actually need crypto bank custody. You’re not going to avoid tax. It’s safer for most of you,
The real reason or meaning for crypto only maybe a handful can deal with it
Majority are sheep and that’s fine. You’re better off with the normal system.
You don’t know how to handle money. You can’t keep money the moment you get lucky making a little.
You don’t know how to behave.
Therefore you deserve to be under a surveillance system just to act normal
That’s just reality
You come on here and you see a few monkeys rugging each other then at the same time say fuck the government
Bitch you need the most surveillance
Then you get women on here tits out for sponsors and then speaking about family values

Having an opinion on the market and actually expressing that view with real risk are two entirely different things.
Market analysis and execution are completely separate disciplines tbh
Trading requires a level of edge, execution, and total accountability, not just talking about price action after the fact... or stating the obvious...
Shit loads of crypto YouTubers dropping daily commentary are usually the furthest removed from actual trading.
Zero risk, no skin in the game, churning out useless noise every 24 hours just to funnel people into a some dogshit paid service / flogging some indicator...
It is what it is...
understand this.
perhaps we're lucky because we're broke.. but that doesn't mean we remain ignorant.
I'm sure many of us would have been a victim given the fact that most just assume "I'd rather have self custody than keep in a cex.." without understanding how these wallets work
if you’re setting up your own storage, I recommend taking the time to understand how these wallet provider creates the seed phrase.. including setting up passphrase with 128 bits entropy as the baseline, plus multiple signers from different seedphrases
- understand what is entropy
- understand BIP39 passphrase
- understand multisig
- understand firmware authentication
seriously, a coldcard is so strong that it usually only signs transactions via microSD or QR rather than internet connection.
in this specific case, a simple line of code from 2021 told the device to skip its randomness chip and use a predictable fallback instead.. because if this bug, the randomness of generated seed phrase dropped from 128+ bits (3.4×10³⁸ possibilities) to 40 bits (1 trillion possibilities)
imagine your seed phrase is only one of 1 trillion possibilities.. the attacker only had to calculate these within 25 minutes, and waited patiently for 5 years for these wallets to get funded
this reveals a truth, seed phrases are generally strong themselves, but the environment that creates them can be weak
important questions to ask when dealing with wallets
- was this phrase generated by a suspicious tool?
- did it come from a compromised service?
- was the entropy source truly random?
- or maybe someone else had access to the phrase during generation, etc..
if you'll ever hold significant funds, you need to stop treating treating wallets like the magic security box.. understand the tools you work with, don't wait until somebody smarter takes advantage
now I can't even imagine what happens if this bug was from trezor or ledger
crypto aside, I think for anything sensitive, it would also be very important to understand why any tool needs to be updated and what changed vs the current version rather than just updating because update is available

🚨 BREAKING: THE WORST HARDWARE WALLET HACK IN BITCOIN HISTORY!!!
$38M drained from 500 cold wallets in 25 minutes. The attacker never touched a single device.
If you are a Coldcard Mk3 owner, move your coins today.
Quick version of what happened:
594 BTC drained from ~500 air-gapped wallets in 25 minutes. These wallets never touched the internet. Turns out another 488 BTC was stolen earlier the same way and nobody noticed. Over 1,000 BTC gone.
And the attacker never hacked a single device.
A firmware bug from 2021 made the Mk3 skip its randomness chip when creating seeds. So your "random" 24 words were basically generated from the device clock and how fast you pressed buttons.
One developer literally predicted his own seed phrase by counting his button presses during setup.
Think about that. Life savings protected by button timing.
The attacker figured this out, precomputed the keys, then sat on them for 5 years waiting for the wallets to fill up. Then took everything in one shot.
And the uncomfortable part:
This code was open source the whole time. Public repo, "thousands of eyes," don't trust verify, all of it. The bug sat there for 5 years and nobody looked.
If your seed came out of a black box you never checked, you don't really own your Bitcoin. You're holding it until someone smarter takes it.
(If you used a passphrase or dice rolls you're fine. Mk4, Mk5, Q, Ledger, Trezor also fine. And watch out for fake "support" accounts in your DMs right now, they're circling.)
this is incredible wow.
makes you wonder, where's all the investment funds coming from or they're all just some overpriced market backed by belief?
BREAKING: 🇺🇸 S&P 500 just hit $71 TRILLION in total market cap for the first time in history.
500 US companies are now worth more than half of the entire world's economy.
