🚨BREAKING: Arizona federal court GRANTS the CFTC's motion to enjoin Arizona's criminal prosecution of Kalshi. Monday's arraignment will not go forward.
Replying to @SPSchropp
After SG concludes his rebuttal, Judge says that "under normal circumstances I would stay this case pending the Ninth Circuit's decision" in the appeal to be heard next week. Then announces a 15 minute recess, and says he will return with a decision.

Block just open-sourced mesh-llm, a peer-to-peer system that lets anyone pool spare GPU compute to run large open-source AI models without relying on any cloud provider. If a model fits on your machine, it runs locally at full speed. If it doesn't, the system automatically splits it across multiple machines on the network. Dense models get split by layers. Mixture-of-experts models like DeepSeek and Qwen3 get split by experts. Zero configuration required. Discovery happens over Nostr. Nodes find each other through relays, score by region and VRAM, and self-organize. No central server coordinates anything. Weights are read from local files, never sent over the network. Dead nodes get replaced in 60 seconds. It exposes a standard OpenAI-compatible API on localhost, meaning any existing AI tool can plug in without modification. Block is building infrastructure for AI that doesn't route through OpenAI, Google, or Anthropic. Frontier-class open models running across a mesh of commodity hardware, discovered via Nostr, with no cloud dependency. That's the direction AI needs to go.

BREAKING: For the first time in its 52-year history, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has approved the construction of a nuclear reactor based on core coolant technology invented AFTER 1960. It's about time!
MAKING HISTORY 🚧: @TerraPower’s Natrium advanced reactor project in Kemmerer, Wyoming, just received a construction permit from the @NRCgov. It’s the first commercial non-light-water power reactor construction permit to be approved by the NRC. energy.gov/ne/articles/nrc-i…

🇮🇱 🇮🇷 Israel said forget the plan and torched 30 Iranian fuel depots The U.S. found out mid strike, basically. Their official response to Israel? “WTF.” Yeah, literally “WTF.” America is worried hitting civilian infrastructure just makes Iranians angrier and rally behind the regime. Oh, and oil prices are already losing it. Iran is sitting there like, keep touching our stuff and we will burn energy infrastructure across the whole region. $200 a barrel. They said it. Eight days in and the U.S. and Israel are already beefing. Iran is just watching and taking notes. Source: Axios
🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran’s Parliament Speaker says a U.S. heliborne op in Iraq went completely sideways. The second troops touched down, Iraqis met them, overwhelmed them, and took them captive.

Sounds like a statement coming from Ministry of Culture in China - while they are at it, maybe they should consider importing the “anti-addiction system” that limits game time to 3 hours per day per person, built and deployed in 2007

Nice, needed this for a long time, wasn’t expecting such thing from a company known for stablecoin - I guess far more than stablecoins now

Wow, that makes life so much easier. Would be nice if imported accounts and hardware wallet accounts can do that too through Metamask

That makes USDC much different from USDT and the rest of the stablecoins - including those issued by banks. Maybe we will get credit cards (not just debit cards like Metamask) denominated in USDC in the next year or two

And it builds a website with knobs to visualize and simulate charts in 3D, when it makes sense to do so, even when it is not asked directly. Was impressed 1-2 weeks ago when I asked about a complex question related to option trading and liquidity provisioning fee on blockchain

Bought mine in 2011. Wish they did their business like Tesla. But they stopped at just doing home vacuuming the same old way for over a decade

I actually talked to him afterwards. He basically eyeballed it and made a conclusion without carefully looking. He literally said: "I know - not believe, not think - I know it is an impact because there is a white mark there. It looks like impact. I do these every day and did thousands of these. It is my opinion that somebody hit it with an impact, could be object, could be car seats." AI transcribed recording: docs.google.com/document/d/1…

yes in retrospect - after spending a lot of time research on this subject after the incident. But the glass roof did hold up the Starlink unit for >1 year. The black sound insulation material is new, so it must be a temperature issue, not a weight problem

open to buy other cars if they make self-driving and software as good. I have a physical adverse reaction to gas smell in cars, so that really limits my options

Jeff Dean says predicting ML hardware needs 2-6 years out is nearly impossible in a fast-moving field Google's TPU strategy: embed researchers early, experiment with speculative features, and dedicate chip area to 'maybes' "if it works, the hardware is ready. if not, only a small part of the chip is wasted"

One big difference between talking to AIs and talking to people on Twitter is that AIs usually admit when they're mistaken and correct the error, whereas people on Twitter will do anything to avoid this.
