In 2023, I embarked on an incredible journey with Bitcoin! 🇨🇱

l've had meetings with over 20 parliamentarians and several ministers explaining the benefits of Bitcoin to Chile and its people.

Mid way through '24, my effort was joined by @Dennis_Porter_ and @simonocollins

@PeterMcCormack The most important thing is caching (HTML or Redis) to prevent DDoS attacks or database overloads. Use Cloudflare. Let me know if you need help. I've worked on websites with millions of daily visits. ⚡

LongLive-2.0 de NVIDIA Research transforma la generación de videos largos en un problema de sistemas (no solo de modelo). Sistema end-to-end NVFP4 que alinea entrenamiento consciente de baja precisión + destilación + inferencia W4A4. Videos 720p ultra consistentes

[NVIDIA AI @NVIDIAAI]

Long video generation is a systems problem.

Introducing LongLive-2.0 from NVIDIA Research: an end-to-end NVFP4 training and inference system for long video generation.

Low-precision deployment often relies on post-training quantization, creating a gap between how models are trained and how they run.

LongLive-2.0 aligns NVFP4-aware training, distillation, and W4A4 inference, maintaining strong benchmark quality while improving speed and memory efficiency.

Meta lanzó TRIBE v2: un “gemelo digital” de la actividad neuronal humana. Ya no solo predice texto… simula cómo pensamos. Esto es nivel sci-fi.

@Xi_fak3 El problema de los políticos es que se cierran a sus ideas y los ciega la ideología. Yo puedo pensar muy distinto a tí pero si tus argumentos son válidos te encuentro la razón. La AI viene a cambiar eso, con él conocimiento concentrado que tiene puedes analizar en tiempo real

“未来的世界属于懂 Token 的人。” —— 出自一位10岁博主之口。

刚换了 Mac Studio 的他，不是为了打游戏，而是为了“养龙虾”（跑多个 AI Agent 协同工作）。他把复杂的 AI 产业链比作一个大蛋糕，从能源层到应用层，层层剖析。

别觉得小孩在过家家，他讲的“Token 是 AI 时代的硬通货”这个观点，可能比很多专家的报告都接近本���。

这届小孩的 AI 认知已经 Next Level 了，建议大人们反复观看，治治我们的“算力焦虑”。👇

@Xi_fak3 Hacer entender el uso del vertimiento (que es algo medible y cuantificable) cuesta un montón, imagínate lo que va a costar la ciberseguridad 😑 , hay varios que viven en la prehistoria y solo les gusta la 'moda’ (que ni la entienden, ejemplo la IA)

@mageeclegg And public hospitals are also the exception, practically free, obviously slower than private ones, but cost-free for treatments like cancer and many other diseases. Chileans don't know what we have 😟

68 college students played video games an hour a day for 30 weeks. They got measurably smarter. EEG brain scans confirmed it.

The setup was simple. Half the group played League of Legends, an action game. The other half played Legends of the Three Kingdoms, a strategy card game. Same hours, same schedule, no gaming experience for anyone going in. Both groups improved on attention, working memory, and executive function. The League group's gains were significantly larger in spatial attention and spatial working memory. The benefits were still measurable 10 weeks after the gaming stopped.

None of this is new.

Daphne Bavelier's lab at the University of Geneva has been replicating this finding since the early 2000s. Her 2018 meta-analysis in Psychological Bulletin pulled data from 8,970 participants across 15 years and found the same thing. Action games train attentional control, a brain skill that transfers to other tasks. Strategy games train deliberation, which mostly stays inside the strategy game.

The mechanism is the counterintuitive part. Action games train your brain by giving you no time to think. The brain can't deliberate. League of Legends throws 9 champions, hundreds of minions, dozens of abilities, mana, cooldowns, and map state at you, all updating in milliseconds. The brain learns to perceive faster instead. That perceptual speed transfers to anything else that demands the same skill.

Including surgery.

The 2007 Rosser study in Archives of Surgery found that laparoscopic surgeons who played video games more than 3 hours a week made 37% fewer errors, completed procedures 27% faster, and scored 42% higher on overall performance. The top third of gamers made 47% fewer errors. Laparoscopic surgery is a 2D screen with distorted depth perception, remote-controlled instruments, and multiple data streams updating in real time. The cognitive profile is almost identical to an action video game.

The 10-week persistence is the part that should change how this gets discussed. If the gains were just from practicing the game, they would have disappeared the moment the students stopped playing. They didn't. The 30 weeks rewired the perceptual system, and the rewiring stayed.

Environmentally, Bitcoin has a positive:negative ratio of 31:1

This makes Bitcoin arguably one of the most important environmental-impact technology of our time

As a fund manager of 2 impact-funds, I said 4 years ago I consider it gross negligence for an ESG investor not to consider Bitcoin in their mix. Many called me crazy at the time. They are no longer saying that today (at least not for that reason!)

Here's a data summary from our due diligence four years ago (which has since been vindicated with 24 peer reviewed papers coming out in support of exactly the same findings we arrived at)

How did we reach this view?

Simple: we did our job as investors. ie: we did due diligence on Bitcoin and energy (something very few people were doing at the time before recycling what has since proven to be factually inaccorate claims)

Simple rue:
- relevant domain knowledge + data => we listen
- vested interest + narrative => ignore

We listened to grid operators, climate scientists, bitcoin mining engineers, methane abatement experts, solar&wind installers, academics with multi-disciplinary expertise across energy systems/ sustainability / bitcion mining/ economics/ policy

We found
- 21 ways Bitcoin could be an environmental positive
- 5 ways bitcoin could be an environmental negative

(Uncannily similar to the solar industry)

We then applied an impact weighting to each factor and remeasured The result was conclusive: Bitcoin mining is 31:1 net positive to the environment

Bitcoin mining’s rapid renewable adoption can inspire other industry sectors to follow

We found that in the next 5 years, Bitcoin mining would play a real part in global methane mitigation (it is), grid stabilization (it is), and monetizing wasted renewable energy (it is)

The rule is simple: do your own due diligence rather than listen to the opinions of anyone: be they media, politicians, environmental organisations, general energy experts or bitcoiners themselves

That's the path to truth
