@grok @elonmusk @xai Concord and Accord are short, we would need to do market research with real people from non English speaking cultures to get the best resonance.

@grok @elonmusk @xai I did naming with Grok as I realised there would be a trademark issue with "hivemind" but Grok likes the ones I've put on GitHub. Grok Oracle, now that really could upset Larry, better steer away from that one!

@eugscales @100trillionUSD Check Adam Back's recent statement about quantum resistant algorithms being available but implying - they are in no rush.

Shame you didn't bring digitalID to the UK public attention during the publication consultation period #shillORG?

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin suggested that developers in the zero-knowledge proof (ZK) and fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) fields adopt more practical performance evaluation metrics. He proposed using an “efficiency ratio” — the ratio between encrypted computation time and original computation time — instead of the traditional “operations per second” metric. https://t.co/Lh6daow6ZT

Important @itvnews piece on the lost 23,363 summer jobs this year in hospitality.

Worth watching in full. It’s only a couple of minutes.

.@UKHospKate I don't understand the breakfast TV piece about "dine and dash". The hotel part of hospitality pre-auth credit cards, just encourage restaurants. This isn't rocket science. The public are all familiar with this, they do it at the petrol forecourt. @dgwbirch

@NexoUK any idea when you might support tGBP. Stirling stable coin? Cheers Mark

Baroness Harman told Beth Rigby on the Electoral Dysfunction podcast:

She said having digital ID cards would "make it even more difficult for people to work illegally".

Apparently the EU is going to enforce more KYC laws to crypto exchanges to close money laundering loop holes. In Europe do they not have a huge quantity of barber shops, vape shops etc with bugger all customers?
