15 years ago today, I joined a tiny forum of Bitcoin enthusiasts. User ID 369, just a few hundred registrations away from Satoshi Nakamoto himself.

@Oreocide @TemuAlbania I left my LLM running and when I came back to my computer it was building something. I did not ask it to do this.

@shadcn Yeah this is dumb af, the cost of opening a PR just went to zero but the cost of reviewing one hasn’t.

Mass-generating PRs with your agents and clawbots isn't helping open source. It's quietly burning out the people who actually maintain it. Please stop.

@filosofiadoalto @miniapeur Just to clarify the logic point: if there are no unicorns, then both “all unicorns fly” and “no unicorns fly” come out true in classical formal logic. That’s because both statements are universal conditionals, and without any unicorns there’s no counterexample either way.

@aidenybai @grok explain CSRF to Aiden and why /logout should never be a GET. Also explain how this is actually difficult to implement in Next and how the framework guides you out of this pattern. Finally, explain why chasing clout this way is not a good idea

Jimmy Carr echoing Peter Thiel with a line that lands hard: “Minus the screens from any room, we’re still living in the 1970s. Nothing’s happened in physics since 1972. String theory has not got us anywhere.” But the real shift? “Take the compute power of AI and point it at physics… everything else in science is stamp collecting. Physics is the real thing. That gave us every bit of technology we have. What happens when you point AI at that?” He sees two roads ahead: a world of plenty with 50× productivity and human flourishing… or something that goes “another way.” If AI finally cracks physics in the next decade — what single breakthrough do you hope comes first: limitless energy, gravity control, new materials… or something we haven’t even named yet?

@Boban905ish @Ragna_Wok @amuse If your first reaction to new technology is “oh fuck the government is going to get their hands on this” then maybe it’s the government that’s the problem and not the technology.

EXPENSIVE MISTAKE: Ring spent $10M on an Orwellian Super Bowl ad that threatened to destroy its business. To save itself it is terminating its contract with Flock Safety.

@LynAldenContact That is an incredibly reductionist take that treats government size like a direct vote tally when game theory suggests it often emerges from strategic behavior, incentive structures, and coordination problems.

@sircalebhammer Moral arguments attempt to persuade behavior without institutional leverage, which limits their effectiveness. The most practical deterrent to fraud is not ethical concern about fairness or generosity, but the concrete legal consequences that materially affect a person’s life.

@sircalebhammer The state does not function on an honor system. It operates through rules backed by enforcement power. Individuals seeking resources for survival may not find moral restraint compelling, especially when such restraint is voluntary and unenforceable.

I feel like poo every time I see these clips. People take me out of context and veterans think I hate them, when I'm trying to provide even more support to those who need it. I want to be clear on my take: the best way to support programs for people that need/deserve it is to call out all fraud and abuse when it happens. This does not only apply to veteran disability- it's for food stamps, medicare, medicaid, unemployment, and more. I want those who need, deserve, or earned these benefits to get them and even MORE- but the only way to make sure they do sustainability/long term is to call out those who abuse the generosity of our programs.
MatrixMysteries@MatrixMysteries

A married couple revealed their government checks. “$142,000 a year.” From disability. $4,700 a month for her. $3,600 twice a month for him. What does it say about the system when they’re making more doing nothing than the people working to fund it.

@coinbase That's a cope for failed marketing strategies. "They talked about it." Awareness without conversion is just costly entertainment.

I loved the idea for our Super Bowl ad as soon as the team showed it to me. It's unique, just like our QR code ad in 2022. Most people half watch commercials (buzzed, in a loud room, with lots of people). It takes something unique to break through. Turning 100M+ screens into karaoke, so the whole U.S. (and many around the world) can sing in unison, is an antidote to polarization and just plain fun. Everybody deserves economic freedom.
Coinbase 🛡️@coinbase

Singing > watching. So we got millions of people watching the Big Game to sing along with us. Oh, and we put it on the world's largest LED screen @SphereVegas.

With Git Moving to Rust, How Long Until a Git Fork? Git 3.0 is scheduled to ship "second half of 2026", with a mandatory requirement of Rust. Which means Git will no longer build on many platforms. Setting the stage for a successful fork.
