This keeps happening to Tether because of a structural need I’ve mentioned a few times. To run business, you need two banks: one to custody the money mountain, and one to do the high-volume incoming and outgoing transactions.
Tether has one reliable bank-like entity (Cantor).
Exclusive: Tether has some funds stuck at one of its offshore banking partners, which is facing liquidation risks after U.S. seizure of assets.
Tether said its assets held at the bank, EQIBank, are limited and represent less than 0.034% of its assets.

Prediction time.
@dhh just asked over a thousand attendees at #railsworld how many people still write code by hand on a regular basis. Less than 10 people raised their hand.
Let that sink in.
Next year the question will be how many people are still doing manual PR code reviews or directly looking at code on any regular basis. Result will be similar.

Being a computer scientist who refuses to find anything about LLMs interesting right now is a bit like being a geneticist who refuses to find anything interesting about the recently opened Jurassic Park

I just heard: a large company is moving from GChat (Google's Chat product) to Slack, because... Slack has much better agent operability (true)
Who thought AI+agents would be a big selling point for Slack? Or that Google would sleep on agents + GChat!

🧩 DeepSeek Harness v0.1 is now available in Developer Preview!
🔹 We’re opening it up to developers building agent harnesses worldwide and open-sourcing the codebase in MIT license.
🔹 Powered by the Cordis meta-framework, DeepSeek Harness is an agent harness built around one core idea: Everything is a plugin. Models, tools, skills, sessions, sandboxes, filesystems, loops, orchestration, and UI are ALL implemented as plugins, and can be mixed, matched, replaced, and extended.
Try it now!

We can finally talk about it:
We found a way to extract hidden reasoning of frontier models using a vulnerability in the APIs of every frontier AI company.
We verified that our reasoning token count matches billed API thinking tokens 1:1 for most of the prompts we queried.

It's time to reclassify PDFs as boomer technology
I just want to be able to read an article on my phone!

I'm terrified that some day a ML algorithm somewhere will decide to cancel my Google or GitHub or iCloud account and my 20+ year digital life will blink out of existence

I still sometimes see people saying "if you know how to write the code, it's faster to write it yourself"
I'd argue the exact opposite: if you know how to write it, you gain nothing from doing the typing yourself - outsource that to a coding agent!

Attempted to get USD from a Japanese debit card at a U.S. ATM (yeah, weird even for me) and was presented with a screen clearly designed to bamboozle a tourist into paying 13.5%, and thus will repeat the industry advice: if a machine asks you if it can convert currency, answer No

Agentic programming is just micro/macro from RTS games
Even if you are 99th percentile at micro, a player who has better macro than you will beat you purely by economy and having a bigger army
So focus on macro and getting the most productivity out of multiple agents doing work concurrently
Then for the truly difficult tasks that require injecting supreme engineering taste and decision making, you can micro agents and direct them
When two players have similar macro ability, the one with better micro will win by squeezing extra few percentage points in efficiency
Strikingly similar to product done right (focus on the concepts allowing you to solve the underlying hard problem) vs the feature factory (focus on producing the marginal feature at the superficial layer).

It is my belief that many devs right now are not maximizing what they can do with automatic programming because they still look at the code. Doing it makes you the bottleneck. Your time is better invested in new ideas, QA, design, and asking yourself what is your goal.

The idea of "AI employees" feels so short-sighted to me - both disrespectful to humans and a complete misunderstanding of what these tools can do and how to best put them to work
You may as well start adding Excel spreadsheets to your org chart

This is why the BEAM is the perfect substrate for agents.
Each one runs in an isolated, supervised process with a GC-enforced memory cap and a wall-clock kill. A runaway loop kills one struct, not your node. 100k concurrent agents is a struct each, not a fleet of VMs.
