AI is getting better at finding answers/solutions over time. For example AlphaZero, RAG, Claude Code, etc.
The bottleneck now seems to be in knowing which questions to ask, what problems to solve next, etc.
Interested in learning more about #quantum computation and quantum information theory?
You can read one of the most influential books in the space for free here [1]. There's also this repo that includes code for quantum algorithms and problem sets [2].
With all the quantum talk these days it may be useful to sit down with your favorite LLM and go through the book. I plan to do that over the next few months (emphasis on plan 😅).

Been seeing a lot of negative sentiment about Bitcoin lately. Why?
I transferred fiat between two banks accounts the other day and it’s still pending. Can’t use it at all for a few more days. Want to send more than $1k to a family member in need? Can’t do it with zelle or venmo in just one payment.
That fiat money you shoved under your mattress back in 2021? It buys fewer goods and services now but Bitcoin buys more. Maybe it didn’t outperform the AI bubble but that’s fine. Savings isn’t the same as investment; never has been.
Bitcoin is a better payment rail and it’s not even close. It’s a better savings technology for those who plan to live beyond the next 4 years. For the first time we have digital money we can actually own!
Nobody said a monetary revolution would be easy. Don’t cry about it. Appreciate all the cypherpunks out there who gave us options.
Writing open source privacy software (legally protected by first amendment; see Bernstein v USA) and posting effectively politically incorrect jokes (also legally protected by the first amendment) resulted in jail time.
At no point did they have control over anyone else’s funds. This case shows a clearly corrupted justice system. This happened to all of us in this community and we would do well to take lessons from Phil Zimmerman [1].
It will not get better on its own. The least you can do is talk to your friends and family about the need for privacy and free speech and show how both are under attack. If capable, build better systems. We all have a role to play. #FreeSamourai

Seeing just how useful tools like Claude Code are for building freedom tech it feels like they’ll have to be handicapped at some point.
There’s no way governments will just let the inmates break out of the prison like this.
It’s nearly impossible to create a new browser these days largely because of just how large and expansive the web standards have grown. And because we’re all held hostage by the big tech companies and their browser implementations they’re adding malicious features like having AI read and interact with every page it visits.
If you look at most websites they all have a very similar look and feel or at least fit into one of a handful of categories. It’s time to create a new, intentionally limited, spec that lets content providers still do business but without all the complex interactivity like modals, javascript, async loading, etc. that just bloats the standards.
Consider how limited bitcoin transactions are by comparison. Many people complain and say you can’t build things properly on Bitcoin and yet we have a working system delivering value to millions of people. The simplicity is a feature.
There’s a lot of talk these days about humanoid robots but I have yet to see anything about securing them.
We can’t secure our phones but we want a robot army walking around in every house and factory? How many OEMs have released unsecured routers, cars, security cameras, etc that leave customers exposed to the battlefield we call the Internet?
Honestly, until we figure that out having robots everywhere is just a liability in my opinion.
This.
Q-day comes before BIP 360 is finalized? Riding this all the way to 0.
Saylor market dumps and becomes a Fartcoin maxi? Riding to 0.
Turns out Satoshi was literally Hitler? Damn that sucks. Riding. To. Zero.
Cold storage sats are for use as money one day or for nothing at all. Not trading back to fiat regardless of price.

Wall St entered the game when Bitcoin was at $42k. If they’re getting rinsed there’s a chance we’ll retest those levels. Not my base case. Not financial advice. And as always GFY.
