Tech, Crypto, and anything else that interests me

This was just one bust.

I told people that this has been going on since the early 2000s. I witnessed it firsthand while working on the GS scale.

Millions are here on fake credentials.

Millions of Americans have lost opportunities due to the second order effects of this.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

So let me get this straight.

Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.

Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.

Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.

Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.

And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”

Please.

BREAKING: April PPI Inflation surges to 6.0%, well above expectations of 4.9% and the highest level since January 2023.

Core PPI Inflation rose to 5.2%, above expectations of 4.3%.

Both CPI and PPI Inflation are now officially at 3+ year highs.

Odds of rate HIKES are rising.

Marc Andreessen on why Starlink may be the most misunderstood success story in tech right now:

“Elon’s not the first guy who said we’re going to do satellite-based internet access.

There was Bill Gates, Craig McCaw. Complete catastrophe, total bankruptcy, complete disaster.

Elon’s like, ‘I know, I’m going to do another three of those. We’re starting as a side project at the rocket ship company.’

If the rockets are reusable, we’re going to be launching them all the time. What’s going to go in the rockets? I could wait for the customers to come to me, or I could just put up my own satellites.

Anybody who knew anything about the history of satellites knew that was the craziest idea in the world.

And of course it’s like this giant success. It’s the side project.

It’s clearly the least studied and understood thing I know of in the world right now.”

read this carefully anon. @pupposandro wrote a single fused CUDA kernel for all 24 layers of Qwen 3.5-0.8B. one kernel launch. absolutely zero CPU round trips between layers. the result?

a $900 RTX 3090 from 2020 hit 411 tok/s. apple's M5 Max hit 229. the 3090 won on speed AND efficiency 1.55x faster than llama.cpp on the same hardware.

the gap between NVIDIA and Apple was never about silicon. it was software. generic frameworks waste cycles on kernel launch overhead, memory re fetches, thread synchronization. when you fuse everything into one dispatch the hardware shows what it actually has.

this is the beginning of something bigger. we already proved that a 27B dense model on a single 3090 one-shots what $70K enterprise hardware cannot. now imagine what happens when someone writes kernels optimized specifically for the 3090 and the models that run best on it. not generic inference. hardware specific, model specific fused from the kernel level up.

the 3090 is not a relic. it's an untapped research platform. and the people writing these kernels are proving it with data.

all open source and reproducible anon.

@0xSero I'm learning a ton from your work. Thanks for your contributions, excited to see what else you cook up

Did you feel that vibe shift anon?
Open Source is in the air.

[Sudo su @sudoingX]

composer 2 is kimi k2.5 with RL. the IDE is vscode. authorized or not, the entire $50B product is built on open source foundations other people created.

nothing wrong with building on open source. that's what it's for. but the people training these models should be getting more credit and more money than a wrapper company that evaluated base models and picked the best one.

For the first time in 25 years of Gallup polling, more Americans say they sympathize with Palestinians than with Israelis, per Axios.

Absolute state of Cursor.

@GovPressOffice You do realize I’m trying to help America eliminate fraud and waste right? No need to try and make me look like the bad guy for exposing fraud.

People are over it. Start working for the people and not against them.

Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura is demanding that the United States pass a law requiring that when Congress votes to go to war, a family member of each member of Congress must begin immediate military service.

[Chamath Palihapitiya @chamath]

In 2025, 25 data center projects were canceled due to community pushback. That’s up from just 6 in 2024 and 2 in 2023.

The opposition is notably bipartisan, driven overwhelmingly by one thing: rising electricity prices for local residents.

In Q2 2025 alone, 20 projects were blocked or delayed, putting $98B in potential investment at risk.

The 2025 cancellations represented ~4.7 gigawatts of lost electricity capacity. Using OpenAI’s own estimate of revenue per gigawatt (~$10B revenue per gigawatt), those cancellations represent ~$50B in lost AI revenue in a single year.

Applying a 20x earnings multiple and its $1 trillion in lost enterprise value. In one year!

And it’s not getting better…

At least 99 data center projects are currently being contested nationwide. Historically, ~40% of projects facing sustained opposition are eventually canceled.

This means many more gigawatts, billions in revenues and trillions in enterprise value are at risk if we don’t turn this around.

The core problem as I see it: local residents are being asked to subsidize AI infrastructure through higher electricity bills with no upside. That’s not a sustainable ask.

Until we solve the electricity cost equation, community opposition will remain a systemic and under-priced risk to the AI sector and the broader economy.

Introducing Claude Code Security, now in limited research preview.

It scans codebases for vulnerabilities and suggests targeted software patches for human review, allowing teams to find and fix issues that traditional tools often miss.
