Transcontinental railroad: built in 6 years (1869)
Golden gate bridge: 4 years (1937)
Hoover dam: 5 years, finished 2 years early (1936)
The Pentagon, largest office building on earth: 16 months (1943)
These were all built by citizens buying bonds.
Now, the infrastructure bond issuance process can take as long as it used to take to build this feats. It's time for a major overhaul of how muni bonds are issued.

What do the greatest feats of American ingenuity have in common?
They were mostly funded by normal citizens buying bonds.

After meeting @cz_binance in person for the first time i have to say: he is actually just an incredibly nice guy and seems very genuine. Everyone wanted to get a word in with him, and CZ made time to talk to everybody briefly.
Thank you Binance, YZilabs, and especially @BNBStandard for inviting me to join the nasdaq bell ringing ceremony yesterday.
I have always wanted to join one of these, so it was a great honor and a lot of fun!

✨Introducing ZKLean, formal verification for interconnected software✨
Frontier AIs keep finding critical bugs everywhere. Formal verification is the obvious cure, but what if your software has dependencies like npm packages or API endpoints?
ZKLean is the solution👇

You put in $1 of compute and $2 of intelligence comes out.
My assumption was the VCs were still massively subsidizing my token usage, but apparently it's not true.

ANTHROPIC NOW GENERATES $2.08 OF REVENUE FOR EVERY $1 IT SPENDS ON COMPUTE
Revenue per $1 of compute:
• Q2'26: $2.08
• Q1'26: $1.40
• Q4'25: $0.69
• Q3'25: $0.68
• Q2'25: $0.57
• Q1'25: $0.40
That's a 5.2x jump in compute efficiency since Q1 2025.
Q2'26 revenue grew te costs grew 300%.

Actual public company CEOs seeing this ad:
"Wait, you're telling me I have my stocks in the form of IoUs in La La Land, they're liquid, and I can use collateralized debt to access real dollars to buy my next private jet? Money in the account almost overnight?"
JOHNNY, CALL THIS COINBASE JESSE GUY RIGHT NOW"

Literally came up with this strategy for @CupOJoseph when we saw the GTA 6 shenanigans
The Dems are flooding prediction markets with bad bets to shift perceptions of reality.
It only would cost $200,000 to change Talarico’s odds from 50 to 67%
That’s a fraction of the 114 million spent on Talaricos campaign and more effective than road signs.
People don’t believe polls but prediction markets create more certainty, because who would throw away money right?
The best we can do is make their marketing stunt as expensive as possible by placing more bets on Paxton and collecting.
Once election results hit the odds will be revealed to have been way off base and the Dems will use it as a call to regulate prediction markets.

The models aren't conscious beings yet, but they are definitely ghost in a shell.
if you have a qwen3.5 4b around, please try steering neurons L14 N8949 +1 and L13 N7956 -1
now you have evil qwen
recipe: dose × median(‖resid‖ leaving layer L, tokens 1:) / ‖W_down[:, n]‖` at the down_proj at every input

Eventually Bitcoin will become a niche hobby project that some weird nerds spend money on to keep alive as a religious exercise, political protest, or just for fun.
Kind of like HAM Radio.

"What pays miners as the new coins shrink?"
Nothing.
The real question is:
Who will accept hundreds of millions of dollars a year in losses to keep the bitcoin network running when inflation keeps decreasing?

Bitcoin's last 144 blocks, about a day, carried 727,374 payments. Together they paid miners 1.73 $BTC in fees, about $139,000. Around 19 cents each.
New coins paid those same miners 450 BTC, so fees were 0.38% of what they earned.
The halving block in April 2024 paid 37.6 BTC in fees on its own.
What pays miners as the new coins shrink?
