gm bois. ok so update on discord. we have more members, but now a lot more of you wanna join let me get the server ready/finished. ill try having it open to everyone today sound like a plan?

@RNR_0 Simpler times tbh

We used to have "hidden pre-mine" back in 2014 - 2015 So the developer said oh yeah token supply max 80 million tokens. Supply was larger than what was claimed No alarms at Bittrex exchange when dev deposited 500m tokens even tough max supply would be 80m

@camronmira Why would anyone buy and stake VVV instead of buying DIEM outright? There is a huge discount to buying DIEM outright compared to minting.

$VVV reminds me of terra LUNA in some ways (mechanism, not outcome) to be clear upfront: i'm not saying VVV is LUNA or headed anywhere near the same fate. I'm isolating one piece — the reflexive mint loop — and nothing else. With terra, demand for UST forced users to buy and burn LUNA to mint it. A reflexive loop that destroyed luna supply and drove price. Venice has a similar-feeling reflexivity on the surface: more demand for compute → more VVV staked → more diem minted → less liquid VVV. The real difference shows up on the downside. luna's reflexivity was tied to a fragile peg. When confidence broke, arbitrageurs could burn UST below peg to mint $1 of luna and dump it. Unbounded loop, hyperinflated supply, token went to zero. Venice isn't defending a peg. DIEM is a claim on real compute, not a synthetic dollar. Minting is driven by actual usage demand and locking svvv is reversible - burn DIEM, unlock VVV. No forced dilution, no unbounded issuance, no arbitrage loop to unwind. If anything the VVV loop is more measured than LUNA's ever was. Mint rate rises exponentially as DIEM approaches target supply, so the reflexivity dampens by design. Venice also has a lever LUNA never had -- 'target supply' itself can be adjusted to tune the curve if needed. Not saying VVV is risk-free. The thing to actually watch isn't a death spiral, it's the reverse unwind. if you mint DIEM, sell it, and DIEM rips later, you're buying back higher to unlock your VVV. Mass DIEM selling compresses DIEM, API demand returns, DIEM squeezes anyone caught short. Real dynamic but nothing catastrophic. Similar-feeling reflexivity on the way up. Fundamentally different failure mode on the way down. Thank you @ErikVoorhees for making tokenomics great again

The codex content auto-compaction has been failing for days now both in the cli and in the app... any help @thsottiaux @OpenAI

@Cbb0fe But their UI is utter shit and not configurable at all

There is only one opportunity left in crypto and it's called tradexyz

@0xQuit How are you interfacing your MBP with the 3090?

@peter_szilagyi In a similar boat, been waiting for a reply on my credits from support for almost a week ...

Anthropic in public vs. Anthropic in private vs. Claude Opus 4.6's opinion of it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@bcherny @peter_szilagyi What about us folks who are trying to reach a human at customer support for days now even though I have a Max sub?

@peter_szilagyi Forgot to respond. It looks like the person who received the gift has a credit available for them to use (so they can redeem the subscription as intended by using their credit)

Good morning class. For today’s lesson, we are going to learn about “damage control”. Damage control is a crisis management technique, where the goal is not to solve a problem, but to create the illusion that you are solving it. Protect the brand at all cost until it blows over!

why would I use obsidian when I can just use claude code for the knowledge base? whats the advantage?

Funny how suddenly every mf'ing CT kol has access to mythos ... the grift continues

@bcherny @garrytan Live view of Anthropic dropping the ball

@garrytan We think this is an overactive abuse-detection system, digging in. Also working on making the terms for -p crystal clear.

This seems messed up actually - when do the boundaries stop moving? Anthropic only allows subscriptions with a real human pressing enter? You're going to have to verify with FaceID?

@KyleSamani @Jason Why did you agree to a debate if you have no fucking clue about a topic and want to crowd source info in a week lol

I'm debating @Jason next week about TAO What is everything I need to know about TAO going into the debate? Give me the good, the bad, and the ugly please!

@abustamante @steipete @davemorin L take

I don't think it's surprising, and I don't think it's about open source. The economics just don't make sense. Claude Code subscriptions are built and priced to be part of the Anthropic ecosystem. Anything outside of that belongs in per-token consumption. And any companies not doing this are just being intellectually dishonest. These subscriptions are already heavily subsidized and priced to (hopefully) get to a good median on a distribution of per-user compute usage. Allowing third-party support on flat subscriptions is just a publicity stunt.

woke up and my mentions are full of these Both me and @davemorin tried to talk sense into Anthropic, best we managed was delaying this for a week. Funny how timings match up, first they copy some popular features into their closed harness, then they lock out open source.

@ml_yearzero @steipete @davemorin GPT 5.4 is miles ahead of Opus

@steipete @davemorin Peter, the moment a model that comes better (or even at par) with Opus 4.6 arrives, I'm leaving these Anthropic bozos. They have a nice PR engine to create unimaginable hype and it's pretty obvious they didn't plan for long run money making, so yea 0 loyalty from end.

@trq212 @minhdoestech L take. You'll going to lose customers and goodwill

@minhdoestech some context from Boris here: x.com/bcherny/status…

claim a month of free credits on us, thanks for bearing with us

@bcherny Yeah L take.

We want to be intentional in managing our growth to continue to serve our customers sustainably long-term. This change is a step toward that.

@NousResearch Blew through the $10 plan in a day.

It's a great day to sign up for the Nous Portal portal.nousresearch.com

@rohanvarma @gonifacundo This but it is me swithching from Claude Code to Codex if you give the $100 plan

@gonifacundo 👀

The Codex plans: > SOTA model intelligence > most generous included usage across all plans > cheaper than other frontier models > most token efficient frontier model > Tibo resets limits 4 times a month It would be fiscally irresponsible to not use us :)

@MilksandMatcha Trying to vibe code my way to financial freedom and hitting rate limits too often

Giving away 5 Codex Pro plans Each person will get 3 months of free Codex Pro (highest tier). Winners will be selected from comments in 48 hours, comment below why you want it.

@paoloanzn Will the model not prevent such prompts through guardrails even if the harness permits them?

so claude code's entire safety system for "dangerous" cyber security work is just...a text prompt literally replace it with an empty string and recompile. thats it. enjoy your unrestricted version
