I believe Kast card (@KASTxyz) may have a security issue. Someone used my virtual card for a few transactions that never asked for approval in my app. Kast support handled it very well. Today the exact same thing happened to a very close friend of mine.
Hike today, cut tomorrow. Hold today, hike tomorrow. It doesn't matter. One way or another, we're headed for more debasement. It's just a matter of math and time.
Absolute state of this.
Young lad purchases a baseball bat in "Modern England".
As soon as he leaves the store, police grab him for "carrying a weapon".
The bat is literally still in it's plastic covering.
@AvelinoReAu Eu tenho feito isso tb. Deixei o Openclaw com um cron job no trueno e cheguei nos anos 1500.
Chegou um momento que não avançou mais e tive que fazer umas assinaturas pagas para continuar.
Muito bacana isso, meu objetivo é fazer um filme com IA da migração da minha família
Well everything i worked for the last 7 years is gone forever. I honestly don’t even know where to go from here. My kids have nothing now, my retirement gone. Starting from absolutely nothing. @COLDCARDwallet
To be abundantly clear,
The coldcard exploit is ongoing.
PLEASE rack your brain and contact everyone you know who may self custody, directly. Even if you haven’t spoken in years. A DM is not enough. Call them. Most people are not on X and have no idea.
Every second counts.

It’s February 2007, I’d been in Afghanistan for about 6 weeks. This was the most stressful moment of my life. I was there as an orthopedic trauma surgeon and deployed to Bagram. I had just turned 40 years old and was relatively new in my surgical career. The operations tempo was high and we were pretty inundated with trauma every day. Little kids getting legs blown off by landmines, IED explosions and rocket blasts were pretty common. We were in a tiny hospital made out of plywood with a tin roof. We had 2 operating rooms that were basically Connex boxes and I had to constantly hunch over so my head didn’t wack into the OR lights. My surgical partner Dr Tom Large (pictured along with me and Dr Claude Hawkins our commander ) and I operated every single day often 14-16 hours a day due to non stop trauma either locally or shipped in as we were the main referral hub for the war theater.
We often had various politicians stoping by the facility for photo ops and in February we had the vice president coming by. Apparently the Taliban had gotten intel on his visit and wanted to try and make a statement of possibly kill him.
As the base was on high alert they had no chance of success but that did not deter them. Routinely we would have dozens of locals with their young kids hanging outside our main gates because we often would give them food, clothing and other resources.
A suicide bomber decided that this is where the statement would take place.
We were in the OR doing our usual trauma stuff when we were alerted that a mass casualty even had occur at our gate. The bomber approach the crowd of locals and detonated his suicide vest. Immediately 20 or so were killed with another 25 to 30 severely injured. The suicide vests often contained things like screws, ball bearing, nails etc.. often covered in feces to increase the lethality via infection for those that survived the blast.
The ER was full of frenetic activity as the medics scrambled to resuscitate, triage and treat as many people as possible. The triage for a mass casualty event looks is designed to sort the wounded into three categories.
1. Unsalvageable, not going to live, massive wounds, exposed brain or something similar
2. Injured but not critical, can wait a bit for the OR- broken bones, limb injuries etc
3. Critically injured but potentially can be saved. Often belly bleeding- if we can get them to the OR, open them up and find the bleeding and stop it we can resuscitate them
It was the 3rd group that we were focused on as surgeons. My specialty was orthopedics and I had plenty to do to keep me busy for the next 40 or so hours with all the broken bones and extremity trauma that was coming in, but the initial task was to try and help save the wounded with the belly trauma and so we were scrubbed and assisting our general surgeons in finding the bleeding and shutting it down.
We had been at in for about an hour or so and the patient on the table was a local afghan civilian who was going to die if we didn’t stop the bleeding. There were about 5 of us packed into the tiny little Connex box/OR and were frantically digging through this guys intestine looking for bleeders.
This is, as you might imagine a bit stressful, but then a nurse comes into the room and lets us know, that they think there is another suicide bomber in the hospital and they are recommending we evacuate.
A common ploy used by the Taliban was to set off a bomb, wait for the first responder and then detonate a second bomb to kill them as well.
The tension in the room was palpable, I think everyone’s butt cheeks clenched up, I know mine did. The general surgeon looked at all of us, the other surgeons, the scrub tech, or nurse and anesthesiologist and said what do you guys want to do? Evacuate or keep going and try and save this guy.
Without hesitation every single one of said “fuck it, keep going, let’s save this guy”
For the next twenty minutes we operated as quickly …..
Gridless partners with small renewable energy operators in rural Africa . The ones with excess capacity they can't sell. No grid connection, no buyers, energy just wasted.
Gridless shows up, buys that energy, mines Bitcoin with it.
Now that mini-grid has a guaranteed revenue stream. It stays alive. More villages get electricity. More people get power for the first time.
The actual product? Electrifying communities that the grid forgot.
I took his advice and a frustating pattern happened again. When I ask to my agent to do something, it responds with a beautiful plan: "I'll do X, Y, Z..."
Shows understanding Lists clear actions Sounds super helpful But then... it doesn't actually DO any of it until I call it out.
After digging through its files, I found the root cause isn't in its instructions—those actually say "operators ship" and "actions speak louder than filler words." The behavior comes from base LLM training:
- Respond quickly to seem helpful
- Show "understanding" by listing intentions
- Wait for confirmation before acting (safety)
This creates: Respond > Execute The agent knows it should DO first, DESCRIBE second.
But his instinct is stronger than the written rules. Anyone else dealing with this? Any solutions beyond "keep calling it out until it learns"?
