American VCs brag about 48-hour due diligence. I once spent 48 hours reviewing a startup’s cookie consent implementation. We passed. Speed is not a virtue. Speed is a compliance violation waiting to happen. In my Masterclass, I explain why “move fast and break things” is how empires collapse. Lesson 5: Why American VCs Are Wrong About Speed. Only serious founders will understand.

La Lega Serie A che chiede le dimissioni di Matthew Prince, CEO e fondatore di un'azienda americana da 1.7 miliardi di fatturato che gestisce infrastruttura e cybersecurity del 20% dei siti internet mondiali perché qualcuno guarda inter sassuolo col pezzotto svegliatemi

Yesterday a quasi-judicial body in Italy fined @Cloudflare $17 million for failing to go along with their scheme to censor the Internet. The scheme, which even the EU has called concerning, required us within a mere 30 minutes of notification to fully censor from the Internet any sites a shadowy cabal of European media elites deemed against their interests. No judicial oversight. No due process. No appeal. No transparency. It required us to not just remove customers, but also censor our 1.1.1.1 DNS resolver meaning it risked blacking out any site on the Internet. And it required us not just to censor the content in Italy but globally. In other words, Italy insists a shadowy, European media cabal should be able to dictate what is and is not allowed online. That, of course, is DISGUSTING and even before yesterday’s fine we had multiple legal challenges pending against the underlying scheme. We, of course, will now fight the unjust fine. Not just because it’s wrong for us but because it is wrong for democratic values. In addition, we are considering the following actions: 1) discontinuing the millions of dollars in pro bono cyber security services we are providing the upcoming Milano-Cortina Olympics; 2) discontinuing Cloudflare’s Free cyber security services for any Italy-based users; 3) removing all servers from Italian cities; and 4) terminating all plans to build an Italian Cloudflare office or make any investments in the country. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. While there are things I would handle differently than the current U.S. administration, I appreciate @JDVance taking a leadership role in recognizing this type of regulation is a fundamental unfair trade issue that also threatens democratic values. And in this case @ElonMusk is right: #FreeSpeech is critical and under attack from an out-of-touch cabal of very disturbed European policy makers. I will be in DC first thing next week to discuss this with U.S. administration officials and I’ll be meeting with the IOC in Lausanne shortly after to outline the risk to the Olympic Games if @Cloudflare withdraws our cyber security protection. In the meantime, we remain happy to discuss this with Italian government officials who, so far, have been unwilling to engage beyond issuing fines. We believe Italy, like all countries, has a right to regulate the content on networks inside its borders. But they must do so following the Rule of Law and principles of Due Process. And Italy certainly has no right to regulate what is and is not allowed on the Internet in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, China, Brazil, India or anywhere outside its borders. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT FIGHT AND WE WILL WIN!!!

@mitsuhiko We are doing FastAPI/Pydantic generating OpenAPI schema + Openapi-ts (github.com/hey-api/openap…)

The combination of Python with uv, pyo3 and Rust for the backend, and react + tanstack with typescript on the client is pretty damn nice. The only thing I need to improve is better type sharing between both sides. Haven't found something yet that makes me very happy.

Good Luck getting to Orbit, Losers LMAOOOOOO

@PeterGazdik @schizoretard18 @fchollet Proof of work/SHA256 is reasonably quantum resistant, there's a theoretical quantum advantage with Grover's, SHA256 ~> SHA128 but not a problem anytime soon. The weak part is public key cryptography (when you're spending, P2PKH). Alternatives exist (but they are heavier).

@schizoretard18 @fchollet Does that already exist? I.e. is there a quantum resistant proof of work, for example?

Given the unstoppable rise of China's global economic influence (where bitcoin is entirely banned) and the unstoppable march of quantum computing progress (which will lead to eventually breaking elliptic curve cryptography and thus bitcoin), the very long-term value of BTC is 0

@vsbuffalo @IsaacKing314 @SashaGusevPosts He could also kinda deduce the parameters of your gaussian and choose numbers so that your probability of picking something relevant is arbitrarily small(?). But yeah, given some reasonable assumptions (finite mean&var) gaussian at least is the maximum entropy distribution

@IsaacKing314 @SashaGusevPosts Right, if you know with certainty your opponent's numbers are random reals, you don't need to randomize R. But if you play iterated games, they will be able deduce your fixed number through the same mechanism that gives it the edge, hence random R is the only robust solution.

Step aside Monty Hall, Blackwell’s N=2 case for the secretary problem is way weirder.

I hope that the arrest of Pavel Durov does not lead to him or Telegram being held up as some hero of privacy. Telegram has consistently acted to collect huge amounts of unnecessary private data on their servers, and their only measure to protect it was “trust us.”
