Question to my 7 yo - Why is there a sun in this world? Viraj - So that we can enjoy this life, how would we enjoy in the darkness if there is no sun Wisdom - Life is not merely to be explained. Life is to be experienced.

THE WORLD'S 4TH RICHEST COUNTRY JUST BOUGHT BITCOIN. 🇱🇺 Luxembourg allocated 1% of its entire sovereign wealth fund into BTC. This isn't a retail investor. This isn't a hedge fund. This is a government. Putting national wealth into Bitcoin. Norway is watching. Singapore is watching. Every sovereign wealth fund on the planet is watching. When the 4th richest country in the world chooses Bitcoin the other 190 countries just took notes.

He is not an accolade collector, he is a real one. I have 3 patents as a solo inventor, I've ranked first in Math Olympiads in school, and I have more accolades than he does, but he is way smarter than I am. Some examples: - He was the top student in his gifted and talented school. - He 10x'ed our investments with an an investing software he built, so we were able to quit our jobs 4 years ago. - When he quit his first job to go work as an engineer at Apple, the company offered to build his own lab in a different city they didn't operate in just for the possibility of keeping him, that's how valuable he is. - Only student in his school to earn a perfect gpa in electrical engineering that year and he played college baseball.

@K_L_M @karpathy No, once you test it you commit it and you have the diff to go back to. I don’t want to pull a 10k loc dependency to do some mundane stuff.

@karpathy "yoink with llms" just swaps one unaudited codebase for another. packages have version history and maintainers. llm output has vibes and no diff. you're not solving the trust problem, you're moving it.

Software horror: litellm PyPI supply chain attack. Simple `pip install litellm` was enough to exfiltrate SSH keys, AWS/GCP/Azure creds, Kubernetes configs, git credentials, env vars (all your API keys), shell history, crypto wallets, SSL private keys, CI/CD secrets, database passwords. LiteLLM itself has 97 million downloads per month which is already terrible, but much worse, the contagion spreads to any project that depends on litellm. For example, if you did `pip install dspy` (which depended on litellm>=1.64.0), you'd also be pwnd. Same for any other large project that depended on litellm. Afaict the poisoned version was up for only less than ~1 hour. The attack had a bug which led to its discovery - Callum McMahon was using an MCP plugin inside Cursor that pulled in litellm as a transitive dependency. When litellm 1.82.8 installed, their machine ran out of RAM and crashed. So if the attacker didn't vibe code this attack it could have been undetected for many days or weeks. Supply chain attacks like this are basically the scariest thing imaginable in modern software. Every time you install any depedency you could be pulling in a poisoned package anywhere deep inside its entire depedency tree. This is especially risky with large projects that might have lots and lots of dependencies. The credentials that do get stolen in each attack can then be used to take over more accounts and compromise more packages. Classical software engineering would have you believe that dependencies are good (we're building pyramids from bricks), but imo this has to be re-evaluated, and it's why I've been so growingly averse to them, preferring to use LLMs to "yoink" functionality when it's simple enough and possible.

LiteLLM HAS BEEN COMPROMISED, DO NOT UPDATE. We just discovered that LiteLLM pypi release 1.82.8. It has been compromised, it contains litellm_init.pth with base64 encoded instructions to send all the credentials it can find to remote server + self-replicate. link below

Everyone wants to know how Michael Saylor is on track to buy 40,000 BTC in just 2 weeks but price hasn’t even moved an inch. No one can explain what’s going on.

Michael Saylor holds 714,000 Bitcoin. Every time he tweets 'stack sats', every new buyer pushes HIS position up. Down 47% from peak. Gold at all-time highs. But his followers? 'Buy the dip.' 'Weak hands.' 'This is actually good!' Go all in. Never sell. Never question. Doubt it? You're stupid. Leave? You're weak. - Price up? 'Told you.' - Price down? 'Accumulation.' Name one other 'investment' where doubt gets you shamed and every outcome confirms the belief. That's not a market. That's a CULT. And I already know the replies: - 'You don't understand the tech.' I do. - 'You're just mad you didn't buy early.' I'm not. - 'Have fun staying poor.' That's not an argument. That's a threat to keep you from thinking. The influencers own the dip they tell you to buy.' You're not getting alpha. You're exit liquidity. Own or Be Owned includes owning your mind.

According to @Saylor, if Bitcoin is down to $8K in four years, $MSTR will refinance its debt and keep buying Bitcoin. If Bitcoin is $8K in 2030, down 94% from its 2025 high, and 60% below its 2017 high thirteen years earlier, will anyone still take Saylor or Bitcoin seriously?

Humans compress the world into context. AI expands that context into a search space. The leverage is in the handoff.

I think agent swarms make local dev worse. When I work with a coding agent, I break problems into small steps so I can see what it’s doing and correct course as it goes. Sometimes it gets overly verbose, sometimes it takes a clever but hacky path, and I have to nudge it in a better direction. Running multiple agents in parallel after a high-level plan makes this harder and amplifies the bottlenecks. Reading and reviewing code is the slow part for me(human latency 😞). Concurrency mostly turns into more code, more divergence, and more cleanup. The only place I have seen multiple agents help in local dev is with context management. Even then, I still have to read everything and accuracy may be actually worse than context overflows because noone was guiding it. For autonomous systems, sure. For local dev, I still prefer one workspace, one agent, one feedback loop. Anything else feels like premature parallelism.

The bottleneck in software is attention, not compute. We learned this from a paper named Attention Is All You Need.
