I hoped President Trump’s post was fake. It is not.
Let me be clear - I am not a reflexive critic suffering from TDS unable to give credit where credit is due. Unlike @SenMarkey or @sethmoulton, I don’t let partisan politics blind me to reality.
I give credit to the President for securing our border and stopping the flood of illegal migrants - something @JoeBiden could’ve done but chose not to.
I give credit for deregulating our business and energy markets.
Credit for persuading multi-billion and trillion-dollar companies to invest in America and bring manufacturing home.
Credit for peace deals.
Credit for No Tax on Tips and No Tax on Overtime - genuine middle-class relief.
Credit for 4.3% real GDP growth in Q3 of 2025, outperforming every forecast.
Credit for new stock market highs fueled by investor confidence in deregulation and corporate tax stability.
Credit for achieving meaningful energy independence by rolling back EPA overreach, fast-tracking permits, surging domestic oil and gas production, and driving gas prices below $3 in 43 states by late 2025.
Credit for the boldest nuclear modernization in a generation - reforming the NRC and deploying advanced SMRs to
strengthen our power grid.
Credit for a 56% drop in fentanyl trafficking at the southern border by designating cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.
Credit for mediating a second Gaza ceasefire, and for the Houthi truce that reopened Red Sea shipping lanes.
Credit for reciprocal tariffs that took U.S. customs revenue from $40 billion to over $160 billion in a single year.
Credit for DOGE identifying billions in wasteful federal spending.
Credit, as @mcuban noted, for fast-tracking domestic medicine production and the Most-Favored-Nation drug pricing order - finally making sure Americans don’t pay more for prescriptions than citizens in other developed countries.
That is a record that can be easily defended.
But I cannot - and will not - defend what I saw posted tonight.
Threatening to bomb power plants and bridges in Iran is not a strategy. It is a catastrophe in the making: for Iran, for the region, and for every American who fills up their gas tank, heats their home, or runs a business.
The Strait of Hormuz carries roughly 20-30% of the world’s seaborne oil. If that waterway stays closed - or if strikes trigger a broader escalation - oil prices don’t just rise. They spiral. We’re talking $150-$250 a barrel. Gas at $6. Diesel surging - which means every truck that moves goods across this country gets more expensive. Groceries. Medicine. Building materials. Everything.
The inflation this administration worked hard to tame comes roaring back and this time and it won’t be blamed on COVID supply chains. It will be a war-tax paid by working Americans, every single day, at every single pump and checkout line.
The global economy cannot absorb a sustained oil shock without consequences that reach every corner of the world and every household in Massachusetts.
And then there’s the human cost cheerleaders, like @marklevinshow, @benshapiro, and @LindseyGrahamSC, refuse to discuss.
They’ve spent years telling Iranians to rise up against the mullahs. But you can’t rise in the dark. You can’t organize without water. You can’t overthrow a regime when you are simply trying to survive.
Bombing power plants and civilian infrastructure doesn’t liberate the Iranian people - it breaks them. It drives them toward the very regime we want them to reject.
Levin amplifying this post on Easter Sunday - gleefully, enthusiastically - tells you everything about whose interests he is actually serving. It’s not America’s. And it is not the Iranian people’s.
I believe in peace through strength. I believe in protecting American lives and American economic security. I believe a great nation exhausts every alternative before it chooses the path of maximum destruction. That’s not weakness. That’s America 🇺🇸 First.

@unusual_whales The whole "Nuclear Iran" is bullshit
Every country has nukes. That's not why they are invading Iran.
The real reason is different.

@DJohnstonEC Oh my bad, I thought you meant like going from one city to another, but now I see you're saying travelling within the circles

@fst_nml Nah. I’ve driven it many times & here’s a Google Map.
Shows 1 hour & 35 minutes from the north side of Austin (Cedar Park) to downtown San Antonio.

I love maps like this because they reveal truth.
Each circle shows 90 minutes of travel time in a car.
Austin & San Antonio have basically merged into a 5.5 Million person city, the same way Dallas & Fort Worth did a decade ago.

Justin Drake@drakefjustin
Today is a monumentous day for quantum computing and cryptography. Two breakthrough papers just landed (links in next tweet). Both papers improve Shor's algorithm, infamous for cracking RSA and elliptic curve cryptography. The two results compound, optimising separate layers of the quantum stack. The results are shocking. I expect a narrative shift and a further R&D boost toward post-quantum cryptography. The first paper is by Google Quantum AI. They tackle the (logical) Shor algorithm, tailoring it to crack Bitcoin and Ethereum signatures. The algorithm runs on ~1K logical qubits for the 256-bit elliptic curve secp256k1. Due to the low circuit depth, a fast superconducting computer would recover private keys in minutes. I'm grateful to have joined as a late paper co-author, in large part for the chance to interact with experts and the alpha gleaned from internal discussions. The second paper is by a stealthy startup called Oratomic, with ex-Google and prominent Caltech faculty. Their starting point is Google's improvements to the logical quantum circuit. They then apply improvements at the physical layer, with tricks specific to neutral atom quantum computers. The result estimates that 26,000 atomic qubits are sufficient to break 256-bit elliptic curve signatures. This would be roughly a 40x improvement in physical qubit count over previous state-of-the-art. On the flip side, a single Shor run would take ~10 days due to the relatively slow speed of neutral atoms. Below are my key takeaways. As a disclaimer, I am not a quantum expert. Time is needed for the results to be properly vetted. Based on my interactions with the team, I have faith the Google Quantum AI results are conservative. The Oratomic paper is much harder for me to assess, especially because of the use of more exotic qLDPC codes. I will take it with a grain of salt until the dust settles. → q-day: My confidence in q-day by 2032 has shot up significantly. IMO there's at least a 10% chance that by 2032 a quantum computer recovers a secp256k1 ECDSA private key from an exposed public key. While a cryptographically-relevant quantum computer (CRQC) before 2030 still feels unlikely, now is undoubtedly the time to start preparing. → censorship: The Google paper uses a zero-knowledge (ZK) proof to demonstrate the algorithm's existence without leaking actual optimisations. From now on, assume state-of-the-art algorithms will be censored. There may be self-censorship for moral or commercial reasons, or because of government pressure. A blackout in academic publications would be a tell-tale sign. → cracking time: A superconducting quantum computer, the type Google is building, could crack keys in minutes. This is because the optimised quantum circuit is just 100M Toffoli gates, which is surprisingly shallow. (Toffoli gates are hard because they require production of so-called "magic states".) Toffoli gates would consume ~10 microseconds on a superconducting platform, totalling ~1,000 sec of Shor runtime. → latency optimisations: Two latency optimisations bring key cracking time to single-digit minutes. The first parallelises computation across quantum devices. The second involves feeding the pubkey to the quantum computer mid-flight, after a generic setup phase. → fast- and slow-clock: At first approximation there are two families of quantum computers. The fast-clock flavour, which includes superconducting and photonic architectures, runs at roughly 100 kHz. The slow-clock flavour, which includes trapped ion and neutral atom architectures, runs roughly 1,000x slower (~100 Hz, or ~1 week to crack a single key). → qubit count: The size-optimised variant of the algorithm runs on 1,200 logical qubits. On a superconducting computer with surface code error correction that's roughly 500K physical qubits, a 400:1 physical-to-logical ratio. The surface code is conservative, assuming only four-way nearest-neighbour grid connectivity. It was demonstrated last year by Google on a real quantum computer. → future gains: Low-hanging fruit is still being picked, with at least one of the Google optimisations resulting from a surprisingly simple observation. Interestingly, AI was not (yet!) tasked to find optimisations. This was also the first time authors such as Craig Gidney attacked elliptic curves (as opposed to RSA). Shor logical qubit count could plausibly go under 1K soonish. → error correction: The physical-to-logical ratio for superconducting computers could go under 100:1. For superconducting computers that would be mean ~100K physical qubits for a CRQC, two orders of magnitude away from state of the art. Neutral atoms quantum computers are amenable to error correcting codes other than the surface code. While much slower to run, they can bring down the physical to logical qubit ratio closer to 10:1. → Bitcoin PoW: Commercially-viable Bitcoin PoW via Grover's algorithm is not happening any time soon. We're talking decades, possibly centuries away. This observation should help focus the discussion on ECDSA and Schnorr. (Side note: as unofficial Bitcoin security researcher, I still believe Bitcoin PoW is cooked due to the dwindling security budget.) → team quality: The folks at Google Quantum AI are the real deal. Craig Gidney (@CraigGidney) is arguably the world's top quantum circuit optimisooor. Just last year he squeezed 10x out of Shor for RSA, bringing the physical qubit count down from 10M to 1M. Special thanks to the Google team for patiently answering all my newb questions with detailed, fact-based answers. I was expecting some hype, but found none.

Drift hacker is kyc'ed on Backpack and depositing USDC/USDT which can be blacklisted + highly law enforcement aligned .. feel very amateur for this level of hack
aryan | 🐂@_0xaryan
so, drift protocol vault was drained and I found some interesting things onchain: drainer [ HkG...ZES ] was funded 8 days ago via near intents, but was inactive and suddenly received huge amounts from drift vault (a) drainer transferred/swapped the amount to launderer [ 8ub...Gxw and few more ] , all of which were funded just yesterday via @Backpack [ becomes interesting, as backpack must have kyc'd this ] (b) then launderer transferred funds to an eth address via @wormhole which was funded via tornado cash (c)

🚨 Google has sounded the quantum alarm 🚨
Today, they released groundbreaking progress towards breaking crypto using a quantum computer.
TLDR - Existing cryptography is dead. Mempool attacks are real. We must migrate to post-quantum now.

TEXAS IS ABOUT TO BECOME THE WORLD’S LARGEST DATA CENTER MARKET
According to JLL’s February 2026 real estate report, Texas is on track to overtake Northern Virginia by 2030, the market that has defined U.S. data center dominance for decades.
The numbers behind that projection are not subtle. ERCOT currently has 4.6 gigawatts of data center capacity online, with another 2GW approved for 2026 and 12GW in planning through 2030. Those are numbers that rival entire countries in scale.
Dallas anchors the Texas Triangle, a corridor stretching from DFW through Austin, San Antonio, and Houston that sits on top of a near $3 trillion GDP economy. The fiber optic infrastructure threading through that corridor is already built. The power pipeline is being expanded aggressively. The land is there.
Virginia had a 30-year head start. Texas is closing that gap inside a decade.
