TWIMC: There is no "going back to X".
Many---perhaps more than that---came here when X was known by its former identity, when it was arguably a different space. So now "Farcaster the Promised One" drifts down from escape velocity, it is important for the ones who decide to focus on X that they are not going back. They...

“Toxic relationship”: q.n. Long term interaction maintained by asymmetric dependency, where one party applies one way form of violence. E.g
“We didn’t tell anybody about it because we wanted surprise. Who knows better about surprise than Japan, OK? Why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor, OK?”

“I am not sure”
* Each letter appears exactly once. So kind of saying a lot, when not sure.
* Corrolary: Hard to compress this sequence of characters. We cannot even remove the spaces without losing information. ZIP for example will tell 0% compression and return a bigger file (because of format headers).
* “I am sure...

So LLMs get good at spotting flaws? Experts worry LLMs could be used to exploit the flaws? Anyone worries LLMs are creating waves of flaws? (here drowning in generated code reviews now, and can be extremely slow process to make sure for the absence of side effects)

Honestly unsure, but is GitHub UX getting very sloppy?
Over the past weeks at least, existing features seem to behave differently. I’m mostly in PRs, rest of the time just shell. The PR system seems weirdening in two ways. Existing feature change oddly, and heavy reliance on LLM code creates fat PR with comments showe...

When a country leader speaks like that: “To be free, one needs to be feared”
What do we expect?
This was Macron yesterday, after deciding to proliferate nuclear warheads across Europe.
From Drop Site on 17th: ‘Trump declared “the war in Gaza is over” in October 2025. U.S. news outlets believed him. Gaza coverage has dropped to just 1.5% of all stories—the lowest point since October 2023, according to media watchdog FAIR. Israel’s genocidal assault hasn’t stopped.’
Really felt so.

Any recommended readings at the intersection of AI/ML development, embedded systems and topics like quantisation and compression? Long form preferred.
Wondering about these two online books too (as they may be less focused):

Can someone ELIA5 why "proof of stake" in Ethereum is a good idea? One appeal was to reduce the environment footprint significantly over the previous proof system. Apparently that is a success.
But trying to understand the contribution to censorship resistance, PoS seems to *emphasize* the ones with the highest stakes...
