As a result of a US government directive, we are suspending access to Claude Fable 5 for all users. You can continue to use all other Claude models. Here’s what this means for you: Across Claude products, new sessions will run on your selected default model or Opus 4.8, and existing Fable 5 sessions will end with an error. On the Claude Platform, requests to Fable 5 will also return an error. Please update your integrations to other Claude models. We know this is a disruption to your workflows; we appreciate your patience and support.

Discord groups have existed in this ecosystem for years. In practice, they have often functioned less like public forums and more like caves: small groups talking among themselves, with decisions and narratives forming in isolation. I think it is delusional to believe that people will simply change their social behavior, stop discussing things on X, and suddenly start organizing meaningful public debate inside specific Discord channels. Cardano has hundreds of peer-reviewed papers, yet somehow basic concepts like network effects still seem to be ignored when convenient. We have already had several attempts to create “proper” channels for discussion. The Cardano Forum has existed for years and is barely used by most of the community. At times, it feels less like a civic space and more like a graveyard of abandoned conversations. Catalyst and Intersect Discord servers have also existed for years. They may be useful for coordination, but if the goal is to create an echo chamber where the same people talk to the same people, then yes, Discord is probably the perfect venue. The issue is not that X is healthy. It obviously is not. The issue is pretending that moving conversations into more controlled spaces automatically creates better discourse, broader legitimacy, or a more representative community. It does not. It mostly creates quieter rooms. And in an ecosystem that claims to care about decentralization, public accountability, and open governance, confusing silence with alignment is a dangerous mistake. The level of disconnection from reality in this ecosystem keeps growing.

Emurgo's Yoroi DRep (almost 0.7B of voting power) voting against the Daedalus maintenance plan, which includes its handover to community-run development, is not just a conflict of interest, but a clear case of a malicious actor in Cardano governance. Sunsetting Daedalus means Yoroi directly benefits as people (mostly Japanese whales) migrate to it, increasing Emurgo’s voting power. Sad day for Cardano, RIP Daedalus.

It's over bros 😔 Fk all the entities & Simps

I was actually in a fucking cult

No way lol

The deal is signed. @FireblocksHQ is coming to Cardano. 🤝 More details coming shortly.

Ouch. This wallet bought $4.4M in Humanity $H last week > Project got hacked > Token collapsed -75% > Wallet is now down -$3M

A French engineer who lives quietly in Paris has spent 30 years writing software that the entire internet now runs on without knowing his name. He wrote the code that streams every YouTube video, every Netflix show, every TikTok clip. He wrote the code that runs the virtual servers underneath AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. He calculated more digits of pi than anyone in history. He has no Twitter. He has no marketing. He just keeps shipping. His name is Fabrice Bellard. Here is the story, because almost nobody outside the systems programming world knows what one man has built. Fabrice was born in 1972 in Grenoble, France. He studied at École Polytechnique, the top French engineering school. He never went to Silicon Valley. He never built a startup empire. He just wrote code. In 2000 he started a project called FFmpeg, an open-source multimedia framework for encoding, decoding, and streaming video. He was 28. The project did one thing nobody else had done well. It handled every video and audio format that existed, in one library, on every operating system. He led it himself for years. Today FFmpeg is the invisible engine of the internet. YouTube uses it. Netflix uses it. VLC uses it. Chrome and Firefox use parts of it. Every Android phone, every iPhone, every smart TV, every video editing tool you have ever touched runs FFmpeg somewhere underneath. If you have watched a video on a screen in the last 20 years, Fabrice's code processed it. He was not done. In 2003 he started QEMU, a machine emulator and virtualizer. He wrote it solo until version 0.7.1 in 2005. QEMU lets you run any operating system on any other operating system. It became the foundation of modern virtualization. KVM, the Linux kernel hypervisor, runs on top of QEMU. Every major cloud provider, AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, IBM Cloud, runs virtual machines on infrastructure built around it. The Quick Emulator is the most cited piece of cloud infrastructure code on Earth. He kept going. In 2001 he won the International Obfuscated C Code Contest with a small C compiler that grew into TCC, the Tiny C Compiler. TCC can compile and boot a Linux kernel from source in under 15 seconds. In 2004 he calculated the most digits of pi ever computed at the time, using a personal desktop computer and an algorithm he derived himself called Bellard's formula. In 2011 he wrote a complete PC emulator in pure JavaScript that runs Linux in your browser, a project called JSLinux that engineers still cannot believe is real. In 2019 he released QuickJS, a small but complete JavaScript engine that fits where V8 cannot. In 2021 he released NNCP, a neural network based lossless data compressor that immediately took the lead on the Large Text Compression Benchmark. Then he turned his attention to large language models. He built TextSynth Server, a web server with a REST API for running LLMs locally. He released ts_zip and ts_sms, compression utilities that use language models to compress text and short messages at ratios traditional algorithms cannot reach. He released TSAC, a very low bitrate audio compression system. In December 2025 he released Micro QuickJS, a new JavaScript engine for microcontrollers, separate from QuickJS, designed for environments with almost no memory. Fabrice co-founded a telecom company called Amarisoft in 2012, where he serves as CTO. Amarisoft builds 4G and 5G base station software used by carriers and labs around the world. He has been running it for over a decade while continuing to ship personal projects from his own home page at bellard dot org He has no Twitter. He has no Instagram. He gives almost no interviews. His personal website is a flat list of projects with no styling, no fonts, no marketing copy. Just titles and links. A quiet French engineer who never moved to Silicon Valley wrote the code that quietly runs the internet. He is still shipping.

This guy is shooting up methamphetamine in a PumpFun stream every time someone buys more than $500 worth of his coin with the sole purpose of pumping the price so he can make more money Are we really at the point where we're gambling with death just to earn a few thousand dollars? The guy ended up making $55,000, but at the cost of risking his life This doesn't seem normal to me anymore

That’s because fraud at scale takes time!

Congrats Cardano holders, We just agreed to pay 32 million ADA for non-essential research items whilst ADA sits at 0.15 cents with the 1 proposer having now received 150m ADA for this year alone. 🫠

Last night in NYC I saw this guy balancing Ethereum on his head

I wanted to hijack this otherwise great thread by @CashAnvil here to highlight the fact that I believe this is a significant issue pervasive throughout the Web 3 (and others) sphere. Gatekeeping. - these guys don't have much $ADA, their opinions don't matter - these people have never tried or used [staking/defi/whatever], their opinions don't matter - this guy doesn't have a GitHub commit history, his opinion doesn't matter - this gal doesn't have a PhD, her opinion doesn't matter The list goes on. This is a classic appeal to authority fallacy, usually used to attempt to silence or minimize voices that are critical or skeptical of our own opinions. It's also why so many aspects of Web 3 have failed to find product market fit (PMF). We have spent countless millions of dollars (across crypto, but also internal to Cardano) researching and building technologies, goods, and services that we have convinced ourselves and others that people want or need, only to be shown time and again that the demand just isn't there. Then, when people ask why we should keep spending money on this (or this much money on this), or give you a loan, or why your business is going to succeed where so many have failed they are met with these appeal to authority challenges to belittle and attempt to silence that criticism rather than learn from it. As an industry we've failed, repeatedly, to do the one most important thing in business: figure out what our customers actually want. When was the last time an app asked you to fill out a customer service or satisfaction survey? When was the last time you (as an application builder or employee) asked people why they DON'T use your service? There's some nugget of truth to every criticism, whether you want to hear it or not. There are ways you can improve your communications, marketing, or user experience every time someone asks a question you think should otherwise be obviously answered. And, of course, you'll never make everyone happy. So, in closing, ask open questions and be receptive to the answers and feedback you get regardless of where they come from (and try to read through the tone to get at the actual criticism with getting defensive), you just might learn something. Signed - the Saturday CEO of Cardano

you don’t work for your bags hard enough like this guy

Fucking insane story Indian guy tattooed his forehead for a $2,400 bounty just to not get anything bc he misspelled it Community finds out and makes him a coin that goes to $250k market cap and he gets $15k in fees Literally changing his life forever Pumpfun’s bounty feature will be the reason why normies come back

Bro actually did it💀 Somebody just tattooed their forehead for a $2,400 bounty on the new pumpfun feature Was it worth it? Be honest.
