Can't believe it but I've done it... recovered BTC from 2018. Crazy amounts of twists and turns. A platter swap, then a PCB board replacement; then bitcoin core had a pwd on it I'd lost.... Brilliant result. Tiny amount to many ppl but significant to me.... a UTXO of 7.5yrs!

How to become expert at thing: 1 iteratively take on concrete projects and accomplish them depth wise, learning “on demand” (ie don’t learn bottom up breadth wise) 2 teach/summarize everything you learn in your own words 3 only compare yourself to younger you, never to others

Mr. @karpathy says we’re entering the Decade of Agents, not the Year of Agents. Agreed. Agents will need scalable, permissionless compute to evolve — not centralized silos. That’s why the open cloud @akashnet_ is building matters. Get involved 👇 akash.network/community/akas…

Want to be rich? Build this but for all of Africa. A way a biz can "Add to Cart" and pick the African countries they want to operate in. Fill out a form with the biz info, pay the fees. Boom. Done. Up and running in days. @ItanaAfrica has it for Nigeria. 1 down, 53 to go. 😭

On AI safety lobbying: Fascinating to see the reaction on X to @DavidSacks post yesterday especially from the AI safety/EA community. Think a few things are going on (a) the EA/ AI safety / "doomer" lobby was natural allies with the left and now find themselves out of power.…

Scott Weiner’s rushing to defend Anthropic tells you everything you need to know about how closely they’re working together to impose the Left’s vision of AI regulation.
