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. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

Open-source Tailscale-style private mesh VPN using Nostr identities, Rust core, MagicDNS, exit nodes and native apps for desktop and mobile. By @marttimalmi

"That will modernize how citizens interact with public services" So the modernize part is forcing them to have a digital ID otherwise they won't be able to interact with public services? We call this control, not 'modernizing' if it was modernizing we would be embracing freedom and sovereignty. It may be presented as modernization, but if digital ID becomes the default or required gateway for work, benefits, housing, banking, or public services, then people are effectively being pushed into a centralized identity system.

Cashu is powering far more than just Bitcoin wallets. While most people think of standard user-facing Bitcoin wallets when they hear Cashu, there’s a whole separate economy emerging around machine-to-machine payments. One of the best examples is Routstr, an open-source decentralized marketplace for AI inference. Routstr uses Nostr and Cashu at its core. Providers offer AI inference, and users pay for AI with Bitcoin. You can use Routstr as a normal AI chat interface or as a provider for your own AI agent. It gives users access to hundreds of models, similar to OpenRouter, but paid in Bitcoin with strong privacy for the payments attached to your AI chats. There are no accounts. To fund your balance, you pay a Lightning invoice and mint Cashu ecash. Every time you make a query, you attach ecash to the request itself as a bearer token and micropayment for that individual call. Now here’s the cool part. Anyone can become a provider because Nostr is an open network. Anyone can become an ecash mint because of how easy it is to run a Cashu mint. And every Routstr user has full control over which providers and which mint they choose. I think Routstr is a great example of what becomes possible with a micropayment system like Cashu on Bitcoin. It removes much of the friction involved in building apps that use payments, because you don’t need to create user accounts, build a ledger, or track users at the expense of their privacy.

Pass supports a range of items; you can even store your Bitcoin wallet details in there if you want.
