This is a long post about the rise of "prop AMMs", the history behind them and their advantages/disadvantages. This post will be different than my usual style of trying to be concise and is more of a story since it was meant to be for a DeFi Day talk like I did in the past 2 years. Unfortunately, this year I was asked to provide my ID/KYC (not the fault of the organisers) to be able to speak which I'd rather not do.

Can we use a VPN and get access to Fable again the same way Americans use a VPN to pretend not to be American?

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

WhatsApp encryption is a giant fraud.
The state of Texas just sued WhatsApp for lying to users about privacy — because WhatsApp employees have access to “virtually all” private messages.
Now we know what WhatsApp’s founder meant when he said he “sold his users’ privacy.”

This is the greatest video I’ve ever seen. No notes. The lifeless clanker carcass just laying there. No crowd reaction, anything. Just Billie Jean. Until its lifeless shell is shamefully dragged off. Purely amazing.

Every time someone replies to me with AI on telegram, this is what I want to tell them. It's almost insulting to reply with AI.

Can you please not use AI to write? It's painful to read this

@nntaleb diz que um dos maiores erros do estudo da história é ser contada através de conflitos. A paz é maior parte da história. Guerras acontecem em curtos espaços de tempo em comparação.
Esse tuite Ă© um exemplo do problema. A visĂŁo do passado Ă© de uma guerra que nunca acabou.

I used to use GPT for chats/questions but lately I realised it's so chatty and keeps repeating the same points.

Some validators executing swaps against BisonFi appear much later than expected under our timing model.
This is not proof of censorship. We do not observe when a tx first reached the leader.
But the same subset of validators is better explained by an “extra latent delay” model than by the normal class baseline.
In the high-anomaly tail, these validators account for ~10% of observed slot containing USDC<>SOL swaps in the sample.
Also notable: the anomalous validators are concentrated on the same client.
Despite not being a 100% proof, it is definitely a signal worth investigating.
