AI compute is not fungible. Especially for larger clusters, where specs on servers, NICs, storage, network fabric design tradeoffs really factor in. There are still ways to develop markets and derivatives around it.

Haha....And just as rate hikes were getting priced in to futures. My own opinion is no hikes until at least after midterms.

Butterfly Labs.... I will never forget you. Thousands of bitcoins paid for your hundreds of undelivered miners would have funded my retirement. 😭 All I ever got was a few Jalapenos. bitcoinmagazine.com/business… @BitcoinMagazine

Never let software or hardware wallets generate a seed for you. You don't fully know there is not malware or poor entropy. I have often used dice. 100 rolls of standard dice for a 24 word seed, gets you about 256 bits of entropy. This would have protected your coldcard.

You can just do things.
this is so fucking wholesome guy used AI to save his cancer-ridden dog by sequencing its DNA and creating a CUSTOM cure. the tech behind this is fucking awesome (well done @demishassabis and the google team): - used CHATGPT to sequence dogs DNA discovers mutations - ran the mutations through Google’s Alphafold (AI protein sequencer) which CREATED A CUSTOM VACCINE TO TREAT THEM. - treated dog and reduced tumour by 50% in WEEKS. dog is alive and well. - this is the 1st time AI has been used to create a custom vaccine for a dog (and it worked) - dude is now working on similar vaccines for humans using AI! 2026 is definitely the year we see AI change personalised medicine in a HUGE way so sick

UAE seems to be getting targeted the most, but has done well to defend. Only a couple civilian fatalities and a dozen or so injuries. 100% of missiles, 94% of drones stopped short of their target.
