Everyone traveling for Africa Bitcoin Conference will be sorted by @TapnobHQ .
1. You can get Malawi Esim on Tapnob. It is already available on web. And will be live on the app this weekend.
2. You can spend bitcoin locally in Malawi using Tapnob.
For me as it stands I think it will be between:
Umoya 2.0
Nayvee’s Prayer
Remember
Wo Lo
We’ll see if any of the usual suspects drop anything to challenge these songs within the coming weeks
Once upon a time there was an engineer who observed an SQL delete statement on a field called blah = x. That query was doing a full table scan and unnecessarily locks many rows in the execution path causing contention and sometimes deadlocks, mainly because blah didn’t have an index.
The engineer added an index and that made the query much faster.
Another engineer discovered that there was a bug in the code and that query shouldn’t have been executed to begin with. They removed the code that executed the delete and replaced with simpler delete on a more selective id field which was the primary clustered index on that table.
The index on blah remained on the table for decades, no one remembers why its there or questions it anymore.
The index lived happily ever after on that table, bloating storage, amplifying writes and WAL and slowing inserts.
The end.
@Shalom_HeyEliy The sims game and mmorpgs has always been a hit.
Giving it a a Nigerian feels in times like this where social space is booming is beautiful.
It will only get better as the population and culture to fuel expansion is available.
Rent in Abuja’s city centre and most fast growing cities in Nigeria is becoming out of reach for most people.
Nigerians need to embrace and formalise the concept of shared apartments, like in many major cities around the world.
For example, if a 2-bedroom apartment costs N3m/year, 4 people can share it bringing the rent to N750k per person annually.
With vetted roommates, clear agreements and proper management, shared living can be an affordable way to live in the city.
For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.
AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.
Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.
The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.

Uber handed its 5,000 engineers an AI coding assistant in December. By April, the company had blown through its entire AI budget for all of 2026, with two thirds of the year still to go.
Cheap, basic AI has gotten almost free over the past few years. But almost no company builds serious software on the cheap stuff. The tools Uber's engineers reached for sit at the very top of the price list, and the top of the list is where prices have been climbing.
In April, OpenAI released its newest top-tier model at double the price of the one before it. Anthropic left the list price of its top Claude model unchanged, then changed how it counts text, so the same job now adds up to a bigger bill. And the way these tools run makes it worse. Left on their own, they read a company's entire codebase, write new code, test it, and rewrite it, around the clock. A single task can burn through millions of words, and you pay for every one. At Uber, individual engineers were ringing up $500 to $2,000 a month, and the company had even posted leaderboards ranking people by usage, which only pushed them to lean on it harder.
Microsoft hit the same wall from the other direction. When its engineers used Claude Code, Microsoft had to pay Anthropic for every word the AI produced. When those same engineers use Microsoft's own coding tool, the work runs on computers Microsoft already owns and costs the company almost nothing extra. So it told thousands of engineers on its Windows and Office teams to drop Claude Code by the end of June. It still uses Anthropic's models in plenty of other places. The switch came down to one thing: who pays for each word.
For years, a flat monthly fee hid how much AI a team was really using. The new pay-as-you-go meters show every cent, and finance teams are seeing the true number for the first time. The cheapest AI keeps getting cheaper. The AI that companies actually want to run keeps getting more expensive, and the bill just came due.

Until recently I was using VS Code instead of VS for .NET development because VS Code worked better with coding agents. But recently I discovered that agents in VS 2026 can use the attached debugger to inspect in-memory state, which is game-changing! Back to full VS for me. 😁
