Here is a real life example of the law of unintended consequences in action
Mehdi (e/λ)@BetterCallMedhi

franchement l'annonce de Huawei hier à Shanghai vient de mettre noir sur blanc ce que j'essaie de vous faire comprendre ici depuis des années pour vulgariser Huawei vient d’annoncer au sympoisum ieee iscas une nouvelle loi physique qui remplace la loi de moore, ils l’appellent la tau scaling law et elle change littéralement le paradigme du semiconducteur mondial, en gros au lieu de continuer à rétrécir les transistors ce qui se heurte à des limites physiques quantiques infranchissables, ils optimisent dorénavant la constante de temps tau à 4 niveaux simultanément et obtiennent des gains de performance équivalents à ce que les américains atteignent avec leur lithographie euv à 200 millions de dollars la machine, sauf qu’eux n’ont pas accès à cette lithographie depuis les sanctions de 2019 la Chine dépasse donc la silicon valley sur son propre terrain et la rend périmée et ce qui se joue réellement est l'exact contraire de ce que Washington imaginait en décidant des sanctions de 2019 en ce sens je crois que très peu de gens ont pris la peine de regarder vraiment les slides de la présentation parce que le coeur de la rupture se cache ailleurs que dans le concept marketing de tau scaling law, il se trouve dans un détail technique que seuls quelques ingénieurs spécialisés ont remarqué (et que je suis parti fouiller haha), il existe visiblement un procédé de collage entre couches de silicium avec un espacement + petit que 2 micromètres, ce qui transforme les fils verticaux reliant les différentes couches d'une même puce en chemins de calcul à part entière, ils maîtrisent là l'intégration en 3 dimensions au sens fort pendant que le reste du monde raisonne encore sur un seul plan horizontal pour moi la meilleure image c'est celle d'un architecte qui construit une tour pendant que ses concurrents continuent d'étaler des maisons individuelles à l'horizontale, intel et tsmc se battent pour graver des transistors toujours plus minuscules parce que leurs lithographies euv les enferment dans cette logique, huawei coupé de ces lithographies depuis 2019 a choisi un autre combat, raccourcir au maximum le temps qu'un signal électrique met pour traverser l'ensemble du système, cette durée qu'ils nomment tau et qu'ils minimisent simultanément au niveau du composant du circuit de la puce et de la machine complète, c'est de la physique réelle présentée dans la conférence ieee la plus sérieuse au monde sur le sujet d’ailleurs les chiffres font réfléchir, allez jeter un coupé d’œil et vous allez voir que la densité de transistors monte de 126 à plus de 400 millions par millimètre carré entre 2024 et 2031, la fréquence des coeurs grimpe de 2,6 à 5 gigahertz, même la performance des systèmes complets fait x125 en 4 ans entre 2026 et 2030 & surtout 381 puces ont déjà été fabriquées en série selon ces principes depuis 2020, autant dire qu'ils ont commencé à changer de paradigme dès la première vague de sanctions américaines, 6 années de travail discret pendant que les analystes occidentaux les croyaient en mode survie mdr ce que tout le monde prenait pour de la résistance était en réalité un virage stratégique médité et mené avec la patience d'un peuple qui voit à 50 ans (la vision à très long terme de la Chine dont je vous parle souvent ) je vous le répète depuis des années ici, les sanctions occidentales accélèrent la politique industrielle et tech de Chine au lieu de la freiner, elles l'obligent à inventer le monde d'après pendant que l’occident reste coincé dans celui d'avant, d’ailleurs pour info même BYD a créé la batterie LFP face au blocage du nickel et il domine désormais le marché mondial de la voiture électrique, deepseek a conçu son architecture multi-head latent attention face au blocage des puces h100 et il a divisé par 10 le coût des grands modèles de langage, Huawei vient de poser logicfolding et tau scaling face au blocage de l'euv et il redessine déjà la trajectoire mondiale du semiconducteur jusqu'en 2031

This is the real power of crypto!
Eleanor Terrett@EleanorTerrett

The crypto industry has had an almost perfect night so far when it comes to backing winning candidates. @KenPaxtonTX, backed by @Fellowship_PAC, defeated @JohnCornyn in the Republican Senate primary runoff. @RepCDMenefee and @JonBonckTX also won after receiving support from @Fairshake and @BlockchainLF. Fairshake-backed candidates @AlexMealerTX and @SellForTexas19 also won their respective races, while @CarlosForTexas is currently projected to win.

If you did not know it’s all fake volume and many market makers are mostly criminals, now you know.
Evan Luthra@EvanLuthra

🚨THE FBI CREATED A FAKE CRYPTOCURRENCY.. LISTED IT ON UNISWAP.. HIRED MARKET MAKERS TO PUMP IT.. THEN ARRESTED EVERYONE WHO SAID YES.. THIS IS THE CRAZIEST LAW ENFORCEMENT OPERATION IN CRYPTO HISTORY!!! The FBI built an actual ERC-20 token on Ethereum called NexFundAI.. 100 billion token supply.. A professional website.. Whitepapers promising "passive income through AI-powered investing".. It looked exactly like every other crypto project.. Because that was the point.. Undercover agents posed as the founding team.. Then reached out to professional market-making firms and said "we need you to fake our trading volume".. Every single firm said yes.. Here's what they recorded.. Gotbit.. A firm run by a 26-year-old Russian who publicly bragged in 2019 that he built a business faking trade volumes.. His team kept internal spreadsheets with columns literally labeled "fake volume" vs "market volume".. When asked how fast they could pump NexFundAI's volume to $1 million per day.. They said "6 hours.. It will cost about $200".. $200 to fake $1 million in daily trading volume.. MyTrade.. Run by a guy who called himself "the mastermind".. He explained the exact psychology of the scam on camera.. "We make the chart look like a really nice roller coaster ride.. That's where people jump in.. We have to make them lose money in order to make profit".. He said that on a recorded FBI video call.. CLS Global.. A Dubai-based firm.. Their bots generated 98% of NexFundAI's total trading volume.. When the FBI asked if they could sync fake volume spikes with fake news announcements.. They said absolutely.. ZM Quant.. Bots executing 10 to 20 trades per minute through dozens of wallets to look organic.. All of them knew it was fraud.. All of them did it anyway.. All of it was recorded.. And the clients were even worse.. Saitama.. A meme coin that hit $7.5 billion market cap.. The founders coordinated buys through private Telegram chats.. Sent "pump it" memes while manipulating the price.. Then dumped on retail investors.. $7.5 billion.. Built entirely on fake volume.. Every penny of real money came from retail investors who thought the momentum was organic.. One founder left Saitama and started Robo Inu.. Used Gotbit again.. Another launched VZZN.. Same playbook.. Lillian Finance.. Founder claimed to be a defense contractor who addressed Congress.. Marketed the token as funding children's hospitals.. Pocketed everything.. When the FBI shut it down.. They seized $25 million in one day.. 18 people indicted across the US, UK, and Portugal.. The CEO of Gotbit was arrested in Portugal and extradited.. Sentenced to 8 months plus $23 million forfeiture.. But here's the part that broke my brain.. Real people bought NexFundAI.. The FBI's fake token.. With zero utility.. Zero real developers.. Created solely to catch criminals.. Attracted real retail investors because the fake volume made the chart look bullish.. When the FBI pulled the liquidity to end the operation.. Those people lost real money.. On a government-issued token.. The FBI had to set up a restitution portal to pay them back.. And it gets worse.. Within 24 hours of the DOJ announcing the sting.. Someone cloned the FBI's exact smart contract.. Launched a copycat token.. Rode the viral momentum.. And made $127,000 in a single day.. Using the exact same manipulation tactics the FBI just arrested 18 people for.. Then in 2026.. The FBI did it again.. New token called Lexobit.. 10 more arrests.. Including operators extradited from Singapore.. IRS forensics showed that in one firm's trading.. 1,209 out of 1,221 consecutive transactions went straight back to wallets the firm controlled.. 99% circular.. The FBI proved what everyone in crypto suspected.. The volume is fake.. The charts are painted.. The momentum is manufactured.. And every time you buy a token because "the chart looks bullish".. You might be the exit liquidity.

This is big. What to go and nice use of Bitcoin
TFTC@TFTC21

Martti Malmi, one of Bitcoin's earliest developers, just released a new version of Nostr VPN, an open-source mesh VPN that replaces the entire trust model of traditional VPN services. Traditional VPNs route all your traffic through a central server operated by a company you have to trust. They see your data. They require your email. They can log your activity. They can be subpoenaed, hacked, or shut down. Even modern mesh VPNs like Tailscale, which improved on this by sending data peer-to-peer, still require you to authenticate through a centralized coordination server using third-party accounts like Google or Microsoft. Nostr VPN eliminates the central server entirely. Your identity is a Nostr keypair, a self-generated cryptographic key pair with no registration, no email, no third-party account. The underlying transport layer is FIPS (Free Internetworking Peering System), a self-organizing encrypted mesh network where nodes authenticate each other, route traffic for each other, and establish connections without any central authority or global topology knowledge. Each node's Nostr public key (npub) serves as its network address. The architecture uses two layers of encryption: hop-by-hop encryption between peers and independent end-to-end encryption between mesh endpoints with periodic rekeying for forward secrecy. When direct connections fail due to NAT issues, the system falls back to Nostr-based multihop routing through other FIPS nodes rather than relying on company-operated relay servers. Peer discovery and NAT traversal happen through public Nostr relays using encrypted gift-wrapped messages. The new release adds native desktop apps for macOS, Linux, and Windows, an Android app, Nostr-based multihop routing for when NAT holepunching fails, and improved network management. It supports UDP, TCP, Ethernet, Tor, and Bluetooth transports simultaneously on a single mesh. This is what happens when you apply Bitcoin's design philosophy, permissionless, self-sovereign, no trusted third parties, to networking infrastructure. Built by one of the people who helped Satoshi build Bitcoin in 2009.

Two American citizens, Elon Musk and Linda Yaccarino, among the most prominent business figures in the country, are now facing personal criminal liability in a French court for their role running an American platform, lawfully, under American law. Congress must intervene.
Pavel Durov@durov

🥖 The French government is accusing X of the very things the French government itself is doing: - Illegally collecting personal data - Processing personal data without proper security - Extracting data from automated systems - Violating the secrecy of electronic communications

A new bitcoin fork, 4 months away.
Paul Sztorc@Truthcoin

BREAKING: New Bitcoin Fork I am helping create a **new Bitcoin Hardfork** -- dropping this August, called "eCash". - Your coins will split. For example, if you have 4.19 BTC, then you will get 4.19 eCash. - You may sell your eCash -- or keep it. Or ignore it! Vegas: - Yes, I will be in Vegas next week. - No, I won't mention this, on stage -- (that would be rude). Our L1 Node... - is a near-copy of Bitcoin Core. - is Sha256d mined. - forks via a one-time difficulty-reset -- to its minimum value. (So, mining will be crazy at first.) - Yes, we will change the seed nodes, the name, the network magic, etc. Codewise, the L1 will remain compatible with Bitcoin Core: - We will continue to merge their changes (even the bad ones). - The L1 will activate Bip300/301 via CUSF -- the core untouched soft fork. So, no lines of code will be changed, on the L1. - The activation client will be published periodically (link below). - We will do several bug bounty contests this summer. - The client will be frozen 30 days prior to the fork. Yes, there will be Drivechains: - We have 7 in developement right now. - Users can also submit their own. - Drivechain is a vision of "competing L2s" -- this avoids the "dev capture" problem. - These L2s are all Merged Mined. Miners automatically get free $. - Our L2s are already capable of planetary scale, and onboarding 8 billion users. - We also have a zCash-like L2, with strong privacy. - Other L2s: Truthcoin (Prediction Markets), CoinShift (Decentralized Exchange), BitAssets (NFT etc), BitNames (Identity), Photon (Quantum Resistant). Unlike BCH (the 2017 fork): - There is no "Bitcoin" in the name. New name, new brand. - You are getting advanced warning (4 months). - We are replaying all txns (at first). We will release a coin-splitter tool. - This is a permanent & sustainable fix to Bitcoin's problems (instead of a 1 MB to 8 MB temporary fix). - Back in 2017, the BTC tech stack was strong, and expectations for Lightning were strong. Today, it is the reverse. Video to follow.

Most people think of philosophy as an abstraction that doesn't touch the real world, but they're wrong. Most real world problems are philosophy problems, and most philosophy problems are "giving things the wrong names". For example, if you call feral drug addicts "homeless people", then you can't solve the problem. You can only buy more houses for feral drug addicts to destroy. In this case, we called the police and courts the "justice system". But they're not. They can't be the justice system. The function of a justice system would be to give everyone what they deserve. Now, I deserve a hundred million dollars, a private Caribbean island, and a foot massage from Lauren Bacall in her prime, but I don't see the "justice" system lifting a finger to correct any of this, do you? No, what we are supposed to have is a public safety system. The function of a public safety system is to keep the public and their property safe. If we understood that, we wouldn't care about what criminals deserve. We would care how likely they are to do it again. Or something worse. In a public safety system, retardation and mental illness are not migrating factors. They are the opposite. Because they mean that the criminal is more likely to pose a future threat. We all understand this. We all understand that the feral retard who stabs strangers on the train for being White and beautiful is a worse person than the man who murders his wife and her lover when he catches them in the act. Not because of some abstract calculus of moral agency, of who is disadvantaged and who isn't, but because one is certainly going to murder more people if he can, while the other is a lot less likely to. We've known for centuries, if not millennia, that it's the same small percentage of people doing all the robbing, raping, and murdering, over and over and over again. And we've known for centuries that if you physically remove them from society, that's 100% effective in stopping them from doing it again. The only hurdle is philosophical. Call it a "justice" system, and you have to argue endlessly about morality and redemption, and then some leftie thug-hugger weaponizes your own Christianity against you. Call it public safety, and you confine the argument to likelihood of reoffense. Then you are in the realm of statistics. Which you can compute. It all starts with naming things correctly, according to their actual nature.
