恭喜發財

🚨 There’s a large-scale supply chain attack in progress: the NPM account of a reputable developer has been compromised. The affected packages have already been downloaded over 1 billion times, meaning the entire JavaScript ecosystem may be at risk. The malicious payload works by silently swapping crypto addresses on the fly to steal funds. If you use a hardware wallet, pay attention to every transaction before signing and you're safe. If you don’t use a hardware wallet, refrain from making any on-chain transactions for now. It’s still unclear whether the attacker is also stealing seeds from software wallets directly at this stage. Excellent report here: jdstaerk.substack.com/p/we-just-foun…

How to build a thriving open source community by writing code like bacteria do 🦠. Bacterial code (genomes) are: - small (each line of code costs energy) - modular (organized into groups of swappable operons) - self-contained (easily "copy paste-able" via horizontal gene transfer) If chunks of code are small, modular, self-contained and trivial to copy-and-paste, the community can thrive via horizontal gene transfer. For any function (gene) or class (operon) that you write: can you imagine someone going "yoink" without knowing the rest of your code or having to import anything new, to gain a benefit? Could your code be a trending GitHub gist? This coding style guide has allowed bacteria to colonize every ecological nook from cold to hot to acidic or alkaline in the depths of the Earth and the vacuum of space, along with an insane diversity of carbon anabolism, energy metabolism, etc. It excels at rapid prototyping but... it can't build complex life. By comparison, the eukaryotic genome is a significantly larger, more complex, organized and coupled monorepo. Significantly less inventive but necessary for complex life - for building entire organs and coordinating their activity. With our advantage of intelligent design, it should possible to take advantage of both. Build a eukaryotic monorepo backbone if you have to, but maximize bacterial DNA.

🌱 Emergence is about giving a direction and letting grow naturally. We still have to shape the future economies. The convergence of blockchain, AI, and global systems must be claimed to serve Humanity, not control it. To empower collaboration beyond borders. ⛩️🪐

So what now ? Back to first principles. “Compromising on our diligence leads back to centralisation. To create true abundance, we must learn from Bitcoin and embrace the vision - a decentralised world where collaboration is intrinsically incentivised.” — @F_Gregaard

Day 3 at #PBW2025 – Decentralised Intelligence The final day was about more than tech. It was about shaping future economies - how convergence, intelligence, coordination, and trust are being redesigned. 🧵 @ParisBlockWeek

The future we’re sensing ? → Intelligent → Fluid → Responsive → Regenerative But only if we build it. #BUIDL Let’s stop scaling control. Let’s start scaling coordination and regeneration in rhythm with the planet 🌍 ⛩️ 🪐

🪙 Tokenisation continues to mature: From capital access → to participatory economics. This isn’t only about investment finance. It’s about creating stronger relationships between brands and customers in a digital world. 💙

🛰️ Day 2 @#PBW2025 - Foundations & Convergence Europe’s still busy regulating and complying. We can start building regenerative economic systems, supported by the convergence of Blockchain x AI. 🧵 @ParisBlockWeek
