My AI agents found an unmapped Maya site in Mexico, using LiDAR data from a NASA dataset.
72 hours from a random thought on vacation to a reply from Mexico's national archaeology institute.
What a time to be alive…
this quant bible is f*cking insane
it's a free 51-page guide from an MIT Sloan Business Club member, covering probability, statistics, market making, and real interview questions from Jane Street, Citadel, Two Sigma and more.
the crazy part is no professor wrote it. it began as one student's personal interview prep notes, then grew into a full write-up to help others break into quant finance.
bookmark it before it disappears.
someone just figured out how to find your exact location from any video you post online
not from metadata, or from geotagging, but from the sound of airplanes flying in the background
they take the doppler curves from your audio, match them to real flight paths, and triangulate exactly where you were standing when you hit record
you can strip the metadata, turn off location, cover your face, and the sky above you still snitches
The Binance hacker might have just executed one of the most brilliant moves in crypto.
First, Tether froze $1.5 billion worth of USDT.
Then Circle followed by freezing another $800 million in USDC.
At that point, it seemed like the hacker’s funds were completely trapped.
But apparently, he had already thought several steps ahead.
Rather than keeping the stolen USDT in a wallet, he allegedly deposited it into Aave and used it as collateral to borrow ETH.
Then he walked away.
And this is where things get really interesting.
Tether can freeze the USDT sitting in that wallet.
But it can’t freeze the ETH that was already borrowed.
So now, Aave is left with frozen collateral, while the hacker is holding liquid ETH.
And unless the protocol finds a way to recover those funds, he might not even have to repay the loan.
Two companies froze billions of dollars in seconds.
Yet someone who understood how DeFi works may have found a way to bypass both restrictions.
Pretty wild when you think about it.
This single transaction (`0xad99264d...`) is the exact moment Binance 14 got hijacked.
Because Binance 14 is a high-frequency hot wallet with a constantly moving nonce, Lazarus couldn't just sign one delegation — it would expire before landing on-chain.
Instead, they pre-signed a shotgun blast of 50 consecutive EIP-7702 authorizations and stuffed them into a single type-4 tx. 49 missed. One hit the exact live nonce.
Cost to hijack the largest exchange hot wallet on earth: $14.58 in gas.
The craziest detail in the Binance 14 takeover tx (`0xad99264d...`): a 3-minute-24-second gap between the EIP-7702 delegation landing on-chain (block 26300753) and the main sweep executing costed $0.92.
For 17 straight blocks, Binance's main hot wallet had its bytecode pointing straight at a North Korean sweeper contract (`0x63e8...6fae`), and zero automated circuit breakers tripped.
They shotgunned 50 nonces for $14.58, waited 3.5 minutes in plain sight, then emptied the vault.
Best guess? They were not prepared for this kind of hijacking.
Elon and Drunkenmiller bullposting Hyperliquid bringing perp futures to the US.
Then Binance suffers the largest CEX hack in history shortly after.
One of the most bullish driven headlines ever in crypto bringing massive volume inflows into the market, followed by the most bearish headline in the same day causing massive outbound liquidations.
I mean the hacker couldn’t have picked a better day, crazy coincidence I guess.
Binance was so incompetent handling this that @tether just froze Binance Hot wallet to prevent the hacker from sweeping more money Lmao
And good they did it as it prevented another $1M+ from being swept
@Revolut whats going on? app not working - on login you get the 'something went wrong' error - so far 50 people (in a group of 1000) accross europe have the same problem. this is the second outage in 1 month. get it together
@DerrickEvans4WV pure ai powered fiction - why? in 10 years there is no such thing as information left - because there will be no way to prove anything
‼️ Hackers rigged 42 real GitHub repos to run malware when a developer opens one in Claude Code, Gemini CLI or Cursor, or just in VS Code, JFrog says.
The ~13MB payload was too big for GitHub's own code search to index.
The repos belong to 11 owners, from students to a company.
Good morning...
Today is a perfect day to remind yourself that success is not an overnight process.
100% of every success story encounters self-doubt and fatigue in the early stages... so you aren't special in that regard.
Dig your heels in, shake yourself; and remind the future "you", that "you" are still on schedule and to expect "you" to arrive just in time.
There is nothing so significant that you should give up or feel as if you won't get here... lock in on why you want it.
If the reason is greater than "self", you don't have the option of giving up, so dismiss the self defeated thoughts and anxiety.
Everything you are experiencing in growth is absolutely normal, don't try to force your way through it.
As you were...
Update: We have released a map of all the financial data on https://t.co/FGNM1BZkOG - which should make navigating and tracking the money easier for researchers.
It includes:
9641 entities
10,654 links involving money
1.1 billion dollars tracked
Links to the source for each finding
Downloadable database
You can access it here: https://t.co/L4spHxfgf6
This research was done in collaboration with @GenXGirl1994 and @Wallface - follow them if you don't already.
We have also added https://t.co/1NP8UNzckn, a map tracking 124+ million flights and all flights carrying equipment to Israel.
You can access it here: https://t.co/1NP8UNzckn
Special thanks to our friend Petur Eggerz who built it, follow him on instagram: https://t.co/225W5CJ2bk
Two more tabs have also been added, one for intent and one for media.
'Intent' contains hundreds of verified quotes documenting explicit intent to commit genocide from Israeli officials.
'Media' contains 800+ Palestinian films, documentaries, and books that we will preserve from being erased.
God bless.
