meanwhile, a new paper just dropped that halved the number of logical qubits required to break Bitcoin's ECC from 2124 to 1098 (at the expense of gate count, big caveat)

Chevignard et al show residues also reduce the qubit cost of quantum attacks on elliptic curves: eprint.iacr.org/2026/280 The space savings is less dramatic than for factoring (1.6x instead of 6x), and they again pay a big gate count penalty (256x), but very interesting.

this piece was shared around like hot cakes. you have to understand dalio's one important incentive structure when evaluating this which is that his mind almost always wants a cyclical model since it makes the world legible & tradeable. thus everything here is trying to map a

In the end, the biggest problem I have with investor-billionaire types who write these doom articles is that they have zero self awareness of their role in contributing to it, and lack moral fortitude and courage to even attempt to offer a solution against their own interests

dario anthropic conversation was impressive (and fucking honest), favorite takeaways: - admits anthropic goes bankrupt if revenue projections are off (even slightly). very honest for an ai ceo tbh - anthropic hit $14B ARR in jan, projects potentially $50-100B by end of year -

The @DarioAmodei interview. 0:00:00 - What exactly are we scaling? 0:12:36 - Is diffusion cope? 0:29:42 - Is continual learning necessary? 0:46:20 - If AGI is imminent, why not buy more compute? 0:58:49 - How will AI labs actually make profit? 1:31:19 - Will regulations destroy

Neutrl just paid out ~$3M to buy back early LPs. This is from the OTC deals the strategy entered into pre public. TVL is now at an all time high. Yield has remained the highest of anything scalable. gNeutrl.

Renting TVL from private LPs is the best way kill your token. I’ve said this many times, but the core issue is that many protocols offer mercenary LP deals with short time horizons, usually six months or less. They promise yields in the 30–45% range when the underlying strategy

Boris created Claude Code. His point here is important - when AI handles the code generation, the engineer's value shifts to the decisions above the code: 1. what do we build? 2. why? for whom? 3. and how it all fits together. The bottleneck was always judgment, taste, and

Someone has to prompt the Claudes, talk to customers, coordinate with other teams, decide what to build next. Engineering is changing and great engineers are more important than ever.

Prediction: In the AI age, taste will become even more important. When anyone can make anything, the big differentiator is what you choose to make. paulgraham.com/taste.html
