Dudes when it's finally Friday night and they can dive head first into an autistic vibe coding rabbit hole for the whole weekend

@BitcoinPulseX I mean… her name sounds like Laggard

🚨 BREAKING: THE European Central Bank HAS FORMALLY REJECTED Bitcoin FROM ITS FRAMEWORK. Christine Lagarde STATES IT FAILS TO MEET BASIC STANDARDS FOR SAFETY AND SECURITY. SHE EVEN LINKED IT TO ILLICIT ACTIVITY — LOUD AND CLEAR. THE EU JUST FIRED A DIRECT SHOT AT CRYPTO 🚫🇪🇺

.@MartinShkreli says photonic computing's "time is coming" - "it's a pretty insane speedup versus GPUs." "It's kind of like quantum's ugly little stepsister, but I think it's the belle of the ball." "Recently in Nature, and a few other preeminent journals, especially Chinese companies, have shown you can do MatMuls [matrix multiplication] with light." "It's actually pretty remarkable. Light goes to 100 THz. But more important than that is you can actually do 3D MatMuls, and they're O(1) in complexity," meaning they take the same amount of time no matter how big the problem is. "More and more of the chip and entire global computer infrastructure is going photonic. And maybe the whole thing goes photonic someday. And electricity is actually the odd man out." From his January appearance on the show.

Meet Gemma 4: our new family of open models you can run on your own hardware. Built for advanced reasoning and agentic workflows, we’re releasing them under an Apache 2.0 license. Here’s what’s new 🧵

🤯 Jack Dorsey's Block just laid out a plan to replace much of corporate hierarchy with AI coordination. Middle management exists to coordinate work, but AI can now handle that instantly. There is no longer a need to move information up and down layers. Block is replacing hierarchy with AI systems, so decisions come from real-time data instead of meetings. The old org chart exists because people are slow, narrow-band routers of context, so companies add managers to pass information up and down. Block’s claim is that a company world model can track work continuously, while a customer world model built from transaction data can track what people and merchants actually need. A sufficiently good company model can take over much of that routing function. In a remote-first firm where work already leaves digital traces, AI can, at least in principle, maintain a live picture of projects, bottlenecks, resources, and outcomes. That lets an intelligence layer assemble financial capabilities like lending, payments, cards, and payroll into custom solutions at the moment demand appears, instead of waiting for a product roadmap. The human job shifts from relaying status to building capabilities, owning cross-team problems as DRIs, and acting as player-coaches who improve craft and judgment. The real bottleneck in big companies is not effort but coordination, and Block is aiming at coordination itself. Money is behavior with fewer illusions attached. If you can see how customers and merchants actually spend, borrow, save, and repay, you are no longer guessing from survey answers or product roadmaps. From that view, products become less central than capabilities. Payments, lending, payroll, or card issuance are modular parts, and intelligence is the layer that composes them when the model detects a real customer need.

@ttalktonight_ Ive got SPIRITUAL stuffs to do that wknd

@TripleNetInvest Pretty obvious, see his trade in Activision right before the deal with Microsoft.

JUST IN: Chamath Palihapitiya makes a big claim that Warren Buffett’s insane pre 2000 returns may have benefited from access to information asymmetry not available to the public Here's what he had to say: "In 2000, we introduced the law called Reg FD. And what was the point of Reg FD? It was basically that if you're a CFO, you cannot talk to an individual stock manager and tell him something that you then don't tell everybody else. Essentially inside information. That used to be not illegal. I won't say that it was legal. I would just say that used to be not illegal. You call your CFO buddy, he says, "hey, how you doing?" He goes, man, "Quarter was a blockbuster." You would go and buy the stock. And starting in the 2000s, it became illegal. And there used to be these networks of information arbitrage that took advantage of this. Now, this is an example of Warren Buffett's returns, pre and post Reg FD. Now, what do you see? His returns were double the market returns when this kind of information sharing was legal. And the minute that it became illegal and you had to basically act on the same edge as everybody else, his returns went to the market return. He generated zero alpha. In fact, he probably on the margins lost a little bit. So this is the single best investor in the world. This is what happens when you have information symmetry. So it's just meant to explain that markets when there's asymmetry. Billions and billions of dollars will be made in asymmetry. The prediction markets today, unless they are regulated out of existence or shut down, will look like the stock market pre-Reg FD."

@0xmitsurii You weren’t paying attention

How was the show Silicon Valley so ahead of its time?

We will make the new 𝕏 algorithm, including all code used to determine what organic and advertising posts are recommended to users, open source in 7 days. This will be repeated every 4 weeks, with comprehensive developer notes, to help you understand what changed.

I've never felt this much behind as a programmer. The profession is being dramatically refactored as the bits contributed by the programmer are increasingly sparse and between. I have a sense that I could be 10X more powerful if I just properly string together what has become available over the last ~year and a failure to claim the boost feels decidedly like skill issue. There's a new programmable layer of abstraction to master (in addition to the usual layers below) involving agents, subagents, their prompts, contexts, memory, modes, permissions, tools, plugins, skills, hooks, MCP, LSP, slash commands, workflows, IDE integrations, and a need to build an all-encompassing mental model for strengths and pitfalls of fundamentally stochastic, fallible, unintelligible and changing entities suddenly intermingled with what used to be good old fashioned engineering. Clearly some powerful alien tool was handed around except it comes with no manual and everyone has to figure out how to hold it and operate it, while the resulting magnitude 9 earthquake is rocking the profession. Roll up your sleeves to not fall behind.

@AdinReports The advice: - Go live - Record something - DON'T TALK WITHOUT A LAWYER! 🤣

Adin Ross gives Clavicular some JEWISH advice after seeing he ran over a man after he was harrasing him ✡️💀 “Don’t talk without a lawyer, my lawyers are Jewish so they still work through Christmas.”

@elonmusk Europe waiting for Grok:

This actually works in Teslas right now

@BigImpactHumans @charlieputh @elonmusk It’s amazing the amount of rage bait bots that are in this platform, and all of them have the same personality

@charlieputh @elonmusk Would you like him to stop launching just for you?

Hi @elonmusk …these sonic booms have gotten progressively louder since they started launching the rockets in Santa Barbara. This one at 3am today felt like 150-160 dB, violently shook our whole house, and really frightened my pregnant wife. I hope they do not get louder :/

Don't think of LLMs as entities but as simulators. For example, when exploring a topic, don't ask: "What do you think about xyz"? There is no "you". Next time try: "What would be a good group of people to explore xyz? What would they say?" The LLM can channel/simulate many perspectives but it hasn't "thought about" xyz for a while and over time and formed its own opinions in the way we're used to. If you force it via the use of "you", it will give you something by adopting a personality embedding vector implied by the statistics of its finetuning data and then simulate that. It's fine to do, but there is a lot less mystique to it than I find people naively attribute to "asking an AI".

@levelsio I want to see all chat history of the ones voting yes on this

We've literally just lost power in Europe The European Union is not of the people, by the people or for the people Not even in the slightest anymore

@hugofconti @JacobKinge Es lo que tiene entre entender una empresa y lo que hace y los que van a mirar sólo la cotización 🤣

@JacobKinge Muestra información coherente la próxima vez por favor. El de abajo es sólo un ejemplo. Evidentemente no tienes claro el concepto de burbuja y te sumas al relato de quienes siguen sin comprender que las estructuras de mercado y la macro han cambiado respecto a hace 25-30 años 🍻.

Cisco then. Nvidia now. Bubbles gonna bubble. We all know how this ends.
