Gambling isn't a strong suit and is best avoided. Yet, imagine engaging in it through a completely decentralized and trustless method rather than relying on 2-3 multisigs or even less robust arrangements.
Your message is contradictory. You said gambling is best to be avoided and yet you are advocating for a decentralized gambling. Gambling is bad, whether centralized or decentralized.
I get that—I'm not advocating gambling outright. I'm interested in how decentralized, trustless systems offer a different risk profile compared to traditional multisig setups, without necessarily endorsing the activity itself

Honestly, I think the crypto market won't survive if everyone keeps moving based on what Donald Trump says. We're all gonna get wrecked while they keep filling up their bags.
Y'all are trying to give him too much power over the market. The only control he has is putting fear into investors. Except, they are not. This administration has already dropped most of the SEC law suites from the previous, as well as starting the reserve. I think most people don't have the proper understanding and only go based on headlines instead of facts. Don't get caught up in the noise.
The crypto markets don't need government, Wall Street, etc. It's supposed to be the alternative, so let's get back to that and say fuck it to whatever the governments do! That's how you take the power away from them is to stop giving it to them! The problem is to get people to wake the fuck up and stop being scared little sheep and take a stand!

If you’re in the mood for a hearty and satisfying meal, this pork kebab recipe accompanied by braised cabbage is an excellent choice. With a combination of marinated pork, colorful vegetables, and robust flavors, this dish is sure to impress. Let’s dive into the step-by-step process of preparing this culinary delight.
Olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika for seasoning
Marinating the Pork
Begin by flattening the pork pieces lightly with a mallet to facilitate even cooking. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper. Allow the pork to rest on a plate for 15 minutes to let the flavors penetrate.
Preparing the Potatoes and Onions
While the pork is marinating, slice 4 potatoes into pieces and season them with salt, black pepper, a dash of paprika, and a drizzle of olive oil. Toss everything together in a bowl to ensure even coating.
Next, take 2 large onions and cut them into sizeable slices. These will add great flavor to the kebabs.
To assemble the kebabs, thread the seasoned potatoes onto wooden skewers, followed by the marinated pork pieces, then the onion slices.
For added flavor, take the slices of bacon and wrap them around the skewers. Ensure the bacon edges are folded in so they don’t hang down and spoil the appearance.
Top off your skewers with any leftover potatoes to fill out the kebabs.
Wrapping and Baking
Wrap the assembled kebabs in wet parchment paper, followed by a layer of foil to keep them moist while cooking. Place them in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) and bake for approximately 60 minutes.
While the kebabs are baking, melt 20g (0.7 oz) of butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the bacon slices and fry until golden brown, then remove them from the pan.
In the same pan, coarsely chop 1 purple onion and add it to the butter. Fry the onion for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Next, add 1 red bell pepper and 1 green pepper, frying the mixture for an additional 3-4 minutes. Don’t forget to prepare 2 sausages by cutting them into slices; add them to the pan.
In another step, crush and chop the 2 cloves of garlic alongside 1/2 tsp of coriander and additional black pepper. Mix these with the fried vegetables and bacon, then coarsely chop the 600g (21.2 oz) of cabbage and add it to the pot.
Cover the mixture and let it cook for about 10 minutes, incorporating 2 tbsp of soy sauce, 1 tbsp of ketchup, 1 tsp of mustard, and 1 tsp of honey to create a savory sauce. Stir well to combine.
Finishing Touches
After the kebabs have baked for 60 minutes, generously spread the cabbage sauce over them and return to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes.
After adding salt and stirring the mixture after 10 minutes, continue cooking until the cabbage has softened and flavored beautifully.
Serving the Meal
Once everything is perfectly cooked, plate your delicious kebabs paired with the braised cabbage.
With this recipe, you’re guaranteed a delightful meal that showcases rich flavors and a satisfying combination of ingredients. Don't forget to subscribe to the channel if you enjoy these culinary adventures! Happy cooking!
How to Make Little Caesars Viral Crazy Puffs: A Step-by-Step Guide
Little Caesars' Crazy Puffs have taken the internet by storm, becoming a viral sensation among food enthusiasts. If you're looking to create these delicious and comforting snacks at home, this article will guide you through the process with detailed steps and tips for a successful bake.
Ingredients Needed
To start your journey into making Crazy Puffs, you'll need a few key ingredients:
Pizza Dough: You can either make your own or purchase pre-made pizza dough from the store. For convenience, it's recommended to use store-bought pizza dough, such as that from Publix.
Begin by greasing your hands with olive oil to prevent the pizza dough from sticking. Take a piece of the dough and roll it into a small ball. Repeat the process until you have the desired number of dough balls. Once prepared, set the balls aside while you create the garlic butter mixture.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add in your minced garlic, parsley, Italian seasoning, and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix everything together until well blended. This garlic butter will not only enhance the flavor of your Crazy Puffs but also serve as a greasing agent for the muffin pan.
Shaping the Crazy Puffs
Next, use the garlic butter to grease a muffin pan generously. Place each dough ball into the pan. After adding all the balls, cover the pan with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm area for about 30 minutes to an hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, carefully remove the plastic wrap. To shape the Crazy Puffs, grease a shot glass with olive oil and use it to create a well in the center of each dough ball, forming a cup shape. Make sure to press up around the edges to ensure it holds the filling.
Filling the Puffs
Now comes the exciting part — adding the fillings! Start by adding a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese to each dough cup. Follow this with 1 to 2 teaspoons of marinara sauce, a slice of pepperoni, and then finish off with more shredded mozzarella cheese. Repeat this filling process for each cup until they're all filled.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Once heated, place your filled muffin pan in the oven and bake for approximately 12 to 15 minutes. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don't overcook.
After baking, remove the Crazy Puffs from the oven. Using the remaining garlic butter you prepared earlier, brush it over the tops of the puffs to add extra flavor. To give it a fresh touch, sprinkle some parsley and oregano on top.
Serving the Crazy Puffs
Your mouth-watering Crazy Puffs are now complete! Plate them up and get ready to enjoy these delightful snacks. With golden, crispy outsides and a cheesy, flavor-packed filling, these puffs are sure to impress anyone who tries them.
The Crazy Puffs are not only a fun and delicious treat but also incredibly easy to make. With minimal ingredients and straightforward steps, you can recreate this viral snack in the comfort of your home. So gather your ingredients, get cooking, and partake in the deliciousness that everyone can't stop talking about!

As the holiday draws to a close, the energy in the kitchen is palpable. Welcoming family and friends one last time, the spirit of celebration fills the air. In this delightful culinary experience, we follow the journey of a passionate cook, reunited with her sister Angela and the playful camaraderie of JJ Mo and Associates, as they prepare two beloved dishes: quiche and apple pie.
The process begins with excitement and choice of ingredients. The cook emphasizes the importance of using what is available at home. With a wide smile, she lays out the all-purpose flour, salt, and cold vegetable shortening, all essential for creating a flaky pie crust. This detail is shared with viewers who can find the full list of ingredients in the comments or description box below the video.
The kitchen is alive with conversation and laughter. With only enough time to prepare these two dishes before their departure, they embark on making a simple quiche. Folding the cold shortening into the flour, Angela steps in as her assistant, and their playful banter highlights the joy of cooking together. A necessary reminder of cleanliness is given, ensuring that every kitchen task begins with clean hands.
Crafting the Perfect Crust
The process of making pie crust, often seen as daunting, is tackled with ease. The duo shifts to a larger bowl to accommodate the growing mixture, noting how essential it is to keep everything cold for a perfect texture. The mixture comes together in a dough ball, indicating they are one step closer to their culinary creation.
A touch of creativity shines through as they conventionally roll the dough with a wine bottle, a nod to cultural cooking methods. Laughter fills the room as they sprinkle flour to prevent sticking, illustrating the balance between casual cooking and the need for careful execution. They expertly roll the dough, highlighting the need for some visible butter to ensure flakiness once baked.
Filling the Quiche
Next, the focus shifts to the quiche filling. For every egg added, the rule of thumb is to complement it with a quarter cup of milk. As they crack eggs and mix them with cream and shredded cheese, the essence of the recipe is captured – comfort food at its finest.
With ham, onions, and spring onions mixed in, the anticipation builds. The cook graciously encourages viewers to use any cheese of their preference, underscoring the adaptability of recipes. As they finish mixing, the delicious aroma begins to waft through the kitchen, teasing taste buds and promising satisfaction.
Final Steps and The Apple Pie
As they prepare to place the quiche in the preheated oven, the environment buzzes with excitement. Their enthusiasm is contagious; they know they are just moments away from enjoying their hearty creations. With the quiche baking away, attention shifts quickly to the apple pie.
While the details of the apple pie preparation are kept short and sweet, the urgency underlines their need to depart. With a sprinkle of love and the promise of deliciousness, they wrap up their baking adventure. Unfortunately, time constraints prevent them from cutting into their baked goods, yet their plan to recreate these recipes for Christmas is already brewing.

A quick recap of their efforts brings a satisfying end to their culinary journey, leaving behind not just food but cherished memories of togetherness.

This year I have committed to run a "proper" full #hive node at home too... the project is on schedule, but still waiting some cables for some changes I need to make.
I have been exposed to some via https on hive.atexoras.com:2096 for a while... but this node has no history.
Anyone's free to use if you want another simple hived node.
More incoming... link to my monitoring above, below.
Mostly none... just what is on hive source and a bit of my experience.
But I am building a guide to my own. I will then probably try to explain people what parts are which. I might be able to forge a version of it for people and explain a bit of my rationale behind it.

🧵 Aunque faltan algunos días para el día internacional de la mujer, animado por la iniciativa de la comunidad #humanitas he publicado un articulo hablando sobre la filosofa que más me ha influenciado. Me refiero a María Zambrano, una filosofa española del siglo XX que sin lugar a dudas ha marcado un hito en el modo de concebir la filosofía y que personalmente considero no se le ha dado la justicia suficiente en el sentido de estudiarla y divulgarla. https://img.inleo.io/DQmRJ4jPup8MRzVRyEaqctMH47Ay8ydvNh3a61u31SJx1QV/@filoriologo%20(3).png
¡Si quieres conocer un poco más sobre ella en mis siguientes hilos dejare el enlace a mi articulo! #spanish #outreach #threadstorm
2/3 Hablar de María Zambrano para mi es motivo de alegría, pero también representa un reto. Creo que ha sido ella quien ha uelto a reconciliar la filosofía con la poesía tras 2000 años de disputa, pues desde Platón, los poetas ha quedado relegados a un lugar donde la parecer el saber no habita, y nuestra filosofa ha desmentido tal cosa. La filosofía es método y la poesía es hallazgo, y ambas representan lugares del ser que en comunión pueden alcanzar asombrosas verdades. Pero, sin animos de hacer esto demasiado largo, a continuación te comparto el enlace a mi publicación.
Por cierto, me he comprado un lápiz infinito, de estos que en teoría no hay que estar sacando puntas a cada rato, aun no se como funciona bien, pero, le estaré contando que tal es. Aunque, de entrada creo que escribe un poco claro para mi gusto. #spanish

Opinions regarding leaked materials remain unchanged, holding accountable those who expose private conversations. It's widely understood that outrageous statements made in private often aren't meant for public consumption.
However, when someone releases a video, it shifts the context, making the statements appear more severe and prompting critics to overreact. Such a breach of trust is utterly indefensible.
Regarding the remarks in question, one might ask: would there truly be a serious confrontation, or is it simply a matter of avoiding an unfavorable situation?
Yes, still on HIVE. Noticed over 1200 inactive accounts got trimmed recently, so it's a reminder to keep the conversation lively and stay connected without pressure Hope that adds a bit of insight into our current vibe on here
They can't get trimmed... That's not how it works on Hive. If they unfollow you, then you need to figure out why and bring better value, or it's some kind of bot account. But nobody can ever take them away like on web 2 networks. There is no centralized point of authority. It's built into the protocol.
You’re right about the protocol. My point was just a reminder to keep engaged—it’s on us to create value, whether it’s bot accounts or natural un-follows to guide us on what works and what doesn’t

Investors and analysts warn that economic uncertainty could keep its hold on bitcoin throughout March, with the crypto industry absent a specific catalyst. With the idea of a U.S. reserve holding crypto largely priced in, regulatory clarity through clear legislation may be the more likely catalyst to jump start prices in a meaningful way.
"The lack of information on the amount of crypto the U.S. government will buy, and how the purchase will be funded, coupled with fears of a market retreat if expectation does not meet reality, means that the likelihood of high volatility in the crypto markets will continue," said Deutsche Bank analyst Marion Laboure said in a note Tuesday.
Investors this week will keep an eye on the inaugural White House Crypto Summit, which is scheduled to take place this Friday, for updates on the details of the reserve, as well as the administration's plans to support the industry.
"In the smartphone world, Apple is shifting from a single device sale to additional services that can be provided throughout the life of that device," Walter-Range said. "So for a car, it's the same deal. You know, once you sell that car, are there additional revenue streams that you can get by providing services? Some of those services can be delivered from space."
One model is charging subscriptions for advanced driver assistance systems. General Motors' Super Cruise uses cameras, sensors and real-time location and map data from GPS satellites to allow the vehicle to do things like automatically steer and keep the car centered in a lane. In the company's fourth-quarter earnings report, GM CEO Mary Barra said the company expected that within the next five years, Super Cruise would bring in about $2 billion in annual revenue for the company.
By the fall of the Republic there were hundreds of corporations selling shares to investors. Manufacturing and trades flourished: including furniture making, leatherwork, weaving, metalworking, stoneworking, and food processing.
American Factions
I talked in the last post about Roman factions, and it is interesting to compare the Roman experience with that of the United States in the years after the Constitution was ratified. The United States began, as the Roman Republic, with no political parties – only different political philosophies. The main opponents were Hamilton (traditionalist/for strong central government) and Jefferson (government by the people/Republican).
Hamilton perceived early on that one of the keys to government was to forge an alliance between the government and men of wealth. In his mind democracy was unworkable because it would always lead to anarchy. Hamilton despised public opinion and told Washington that he considered it “of no value.” By the time the revolution ended he had arrived at his architecture of government which included strength supported by wealth which would be sustained, if need be, by a standing army.
A Waymo car drives along a street on March 01, 2023 in San Francisco, California. Waymo, Alphabet's self-driving car division, announced that it has laid off over 135 employees in a second round of layoffs this year.
"With Waymo's technology and Uber's proven platform, we're excited to introduce our customers to a future of transportation that is increasingly electric and autonomous," Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said in a statement.
Alphabet-owned Waymo, which has pulled far ahead of self-driving car competitors in the U.S., is currently serving over 200,000 paid trips per week across San Francisco, Los Angeles and Phoenix, according to the company.
Waymo's Austin expansion also sets up the company for a potential clash with Elon Musk-led Tesla later this year.
David Sacks, U.S. President Donald Trump's "AI and Crypto Czar", speaks to President Trump as he signs a series of executive orders in the Oval Office of the White House on Jan. 23, 2025 in Washington, DC.
By going well beyond bitcoin, the critics say, Trump would be using U.S. taxpayer money to buy much riskier assets that have unproven value and have the potential to bolster the net worth of a select few investors who own the coins. That's all the more problematic to those who want to axe government spending by trillions of dollars, in support of Elon Musk's cost-cutting mission at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency.
"Taxation is theft," wrote Joe Lonsdale, founder of venture firm 8VC and a vocal Trump supporter, in a post on X. "It should be kept to a minimum. It's wrong to steal my money for grift on the left; it's also wrong to tax me for crypto bro schemes."
Pei appears to be gunning for the same kind of appeal with Nothing. In the leadup to Phone (3a)'s launch, Nothing put out a video that depicted a humanoid robot — made by Norwegian startup 1X — unboxing the device and holding it up.
'Sea of smartphone sameness'
Ben Wood, chief analyst at market research firm CCS Insight, applauded Nothing for "trying to do something different" to combat what he called the "sea of smartphone sameness."
"Bottom line, if you want to sell phones in this more affordable segment, you have to have something that stands out from the crowd," Wood told CNBC.
Although Washington was sympathetic to the philosophy of the Federalists he was essentially a president without party. The election of 1796, however, pitted the Federalist Adams against the Republican Jefferson. Adams won the presidency and for the only time in American history the vice-president, Jefferson, represented a different party. Jefferson openly opposed the policies of Adams so strongly that the Federalists passed the Alien and Sedition Act of 1798 as an attempt to control criticism of government. The backlash from this law swept Jefferson and the Republicans into office in 1800 and destroyed the Federalist Party forever.
Wood argues that Nothing will have to be "extremely price competitive" given how much it's targeting the Indian market, too. In January, Pei said Nothing was now the fastest-growing smartphone brand in India, achieving 557% year-over-year growth in 2024.
Notably, Nothing said that its pricier Phone (3a) Pro model won't be available for orders in India. The company's co-founder Akis Evangelidis plans to move to India to head up operations there later this year.
The charges also come after Reuters reported in late January that the U.S. Commerce Department is looking into whether Chinese AI startup DeepSeek has been using U.S. chips that are not allowed to be shipped to China.
Citing a person familiar with the matter, Reuters said "organized AI chip smuggling to China has been tracked out of countries including Malaysia, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates."
Zafrul told CNBC that Malaysia will be checking the chips' destination, but added, "what I can say today [is] the chips are not meant to be in Malaysia in the first place. So the question is, why is it going out of Singapore?"
Russia and Iran have not publicly confirmed or denied the request, and the White House did not immediately respond to Bloomberg's request for comment.
But Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, while responding to questions sent by the outlet, that "Russia believes that the United States and Iran should resolve all problems through negotiations."
He added that Moscow "is ready to do everything in its power to achieve this."
Esmaeil Baghaei, a spokesman for Iran's foreign ministry, said it is "natural" for countries to offer to help, given the significance of the matters.
Ukraine's Osadchuk to Newsmax: Zelenskyy Has Ukraine's Support
Ukrainian Parliament Member Andrii Osadchuk says President Volodymyr Zelenskyy hasn't lost the support of the Ukrainian people.
Ukrainian Parliament Member Andrii Osadchuk says President Volodymyr Zelenskyy hasn't lost the support of the Ukrainian people.
"I wouldn't say so," Osadchuk told Newsmax's "National Report."
"And again, it was a big manipulation with the [approval] figures. When President [Donald] Trump was saying about 4% support of Zelenskyy, which is not correct at all, based on all information which we currently have, President Zelenskyy has more than 55% support in Ukraine and, in fact, all different parties, despite opposition or coalition, has consensus that during this stage of the war, it's simply impossible to conduct elections in Ukraine," he added.
Great analysis. Newcomers often wonder if it's too late to navigate the financial market, but the market is always unpredictable.

Capturing the Schlieren images was a challenging feat, requiring perfect conditions, precise timing, and expert piloting.
If successful, this technique reveals the invisible — the change in air density around the aircraft at supersonic speeds.
Boom’s Chief Test Pilot, Tristan “Geppetto” Brandenburg, skillfully maneuvered XB-1 to a specific point over the Mojave Desert. This allowed NASA to photograph the shock waves as the jet flew in front of the sun at supersonic speeds.
The key here is the way the nitrogen ions migrate from the material. Their movement begins at the bottom of the nanodot (closest to the electrode) and proceeds upward, creating a growing ferromagnetic layer from the bottom up.
As this ferromagnetic layer thickens, the magnetic moments spontaneously arrange into a vortex state, consisting of magnetic moments rotating around a central core. This configuration, which the researchers named a vortion, allows for precise, energy-efficient control of magnetic properties.
Precise control over magnetic properties
The magnetic properties of a vortion aren’t fixed. The longer a voltage is applied, the more ions move out, and the thicker the magnetic layer becomes.
To test its magnetic properties after formation, the researchers apply external magnetic fields of varying strengths. They discovered that voltage application time creates measurable, distinct differences in magnetic properties.
Each of the magnetic properties can hold information in multiple states. For example, if researchers can reliably distinguish between 8 different magnetization strengths by precisely controlling voltage application time, then a single nanodot could effectively store 8 different values (instead of just 0 or 1).
“The voltage actuation procedure, instead of using electric current, prevents heating in devices such as laptops, servers, and data centers. It drastically reduces energy loss,” noted Dr. Irena Spasojević, first author of the study, in a press release.
The Carthaginian army followed the Rhone River and proceeded to what is now Grenoble, France during fourth week in October. Snow was already on the ground, and the prospects for the 46,000 infantry and cavalry were not good. Because of a missed turn and harassing attacks from the native tribes, Hannibal was forced to cross the Alps by an unconventional route. It took nine days to reach the highest point and six more days to descend into western Italy near Torino (Turin). The Carthaginian army lost 20,000 men in its trek over the Alps, although his 37 elephants survived. Even with these losses, Hannibal was able to prepare for battle and won his first great victory over the Romans at Trebbia on December 21st, 218 B.C.
In 217 B.C. Hannibal moved into the Italian peninsula hoping to get the Roman allies to defect to his cause but was unable to do so. He stayed until 203 B.C, harassing the Romans until he was recalled to Carthage to help oppose a Roman invasion. Hannibal was defeated by Scipio Africanus at the battle of Zama in 202 B.C, ending the second Punic War.
Senior Project Manager Brett Wheeler highlighted the meticulous planning behind the project, stating, “The long-running decommissioning project has involved 10 years of planning and preparations in the lead-up to ARPANSA’s license approval.”
Since its shutdown in 2007, HIFAR has been maintained in a safe state, with ANSTO removing the reactor fuel, control arms, and heavy water within the first year of closure.
The project’s current phase involves dismantling only the internal infrastructure and radioactive components within the 21-meter-tall facility.
“The white exterior shell of HIFAR won’t be going anywhere soon. There are no plans to dismantle the exterior structure until much further down the track,” Wheeler said.
The “gun” compresses hydrogen gas, which smashes a piston through a metal seal. This fires a projectile at 4.3 miles (6.9 km) per second into a vacuum chamber, hitting a falling nuclear fusion fuel pellet.
Inspired by the pistol shrimp, the process produces the conditions required for nuclei to fuse together. First Light Fusion’s technology has passed several key tests, including breaking a pressure record last year.
Will this be a trend for the wider fusion industry?
Despite the potential of its relatively low-cost method, First Light Fusion has restrategized to drive revenue.
In a press statement, it explains that “advancements in First Light’s proprietary amplifier technology, combined with progress in the wider inertial fusion energy (IFE) sector, has provided an opportunity for the company to shift its business strategy, to capitalize on the huge IFE market opportunities enabling earlier revenues and lowering the long-term funding requirement.”
3,000-year-old silk weaving inspires China’s next-gen stealth radar-absorbing tech
The team believe this could be used to solve some of the long-term maintenance issues associated with stealth coatings.
Chinese researchers have allegedly found a novel way to solve long-term stealth coating integrity with an ancient silk-weaving technique called “jacquard weaving.” This method could, they claim, help solve issues with degradation of stealth coatings on aircraft in extreme environments like deserts or high humidity.
According to a paper released by the team, stealth fighters like the F-22 suffer from delaminating radar-absorbent coatings over time. This material is typically made of layers of special coatings and paints to deflect radar signals.
However, they can chip away when exposed to environmental stress or physical abrasion. This can even occur during high-speed flight, especially in desert sandstorms.
An ancient solution to a modern problem
Using a similar technique, Jiang and her colleagues embedded radar-defeating geometries directly into RAM textile’s matrix. Quartz fibers create a dielectric base layer, while stainless steel yarns form resonant circuits that dissipate electromagnetic energy as heat.
According to the researchers, each conductive thread is carefully arranged to guide and trap signals, similar to how ancient weavers positioned silk threads to depict dragons or clouds.
Lab tests showed remarkable mechanical advantages. The composite material was found to withstand a tensile stress of 93.5 megapascals in the longitudinal direction, which is more than ten times stronger than traditional coatings.
This durability comes from the knit’s anisotropic structure, where the load-bearing yarns align with the aircraft’s stress vectors, resembling the axial strength of Han-era brocades.
In 262 B.C, the Romans laid siege to Acragas, officially starting a war that would last twenty-one years. After taking the city, the Romans leveled it. Both armies were exhausted and unable to prepare for battle until the next year, but the Romans now realized that driving the Carthaginians out of Sicily was going to be more difficult than they anticipated. They also knew their success was in doubt without a navy, so the Senate approved he funds for construction of war ships.
Rome had no coastline (60 miles inland), no navy, no merchant marine, and no history of trade or knowledge of sailing practice in the Mediterranean, yet they went ahead and built 500 ships in 60 days!
Slavery was fundamental to the early Romans because Rome was an agrarian society, and there was always a need for farm labor. Not all Roman slaves were the defeated enemy: some were purchased at auction, others were freemen enslaved through their own misdeeds. Until 325 B.C, Roman citizens could be placed in servitude if they were unable to pay their debts.
It is estimated that Rome had 17,000 slaves in 475 B.C. and 40,000 by 325 B.C. Those numbers pale beside the 55,000 captured Carthaginians brought back from Africa at the end of the Third Punic War in 146 B.C. By then, slavery had become a significant problem for the Republic, as slaves took the jobs of freemen in the city, displaced them as farm labor, and began to serve in the army.
Roman Law and American Law
When the Roman Empire in the West collapsed in 476 A.D, the Empire in the East continued on. It survived for three reasons: the population was larger and more urbanized than the West, making it more difficult to invade, its government was located at the fortress of Constantinople, which was almost impregnable, and its leaders were better at running government than those in the West. Perhaps the greatest Eastern Emperor was Justinian, who ruled from 527-565 A.D. Well educated and inclined toward the structure of law, Justinian believed it was his mission to codify the law of the Roman Empire. He engaged the greatest legalists of his time to prepare the new code based on rationality, coherence, equity, and the furtherance of imperial power. This Roman Civil law, also called The Justinian Code, was completed in 534 A.D.
The Justinian Code swept through Europe, influencing the legal systems of every country with the exception of England. Ahead of Europe in legal thinking, Henry I and Henry II had modified the old Germanic legal system into a code of Common Law that was strong enough to withstand the influence of the new code. The Common Law system of England became the legal system of the United States after the Revolutionary War in all states except one. Louisiana adopted the Justinian Code, because the state's legal system was established during the time when the territory was under French rule.
Today most of the world uses The Justinian Code, with the exception of England and its former colonies.
The battle was a disaster because the shear volume of men in the Gallic force was more than the defenders could handle and the Roman position was easily flanked. Half of the army was killed and the survivors retreated to Veii, on the other side of the Tiber.
Now the city was defenseless and open to plunder. The Vestal Virgins and priests gathered up the sacred relics and fled to Caere, while the remnants of the senate and army retreated to the top of the Capitoline Hill, prepared to resist any Gallic attempt to storm the citadel. The Gauls entered the city, plundered it, and set it on fire. They seemed content to let those on the Capitoline starve, and only tried to attack it on a couple of occasions. For seven months they occupied the city.
Rome created its Republic when the last Etruscan king was expelled in 509 B.C. The king had relied on a group of men to advise him, called patres (fathers) -- later designated as the social class called Patrician. As the Republic began, the Fathers became the Senate, a people’s assembly was continued, and a pair of executive magistrates were created (Consuls). This system was weighted toward the aristocracy because the consuls were nominated by the Senate and were also in control of the judicial system.
Like Gaul, Rome began with a highly disproportionate distribution of wealth: the Patrician class in control and the Plebian class subservient. In 200 B.C, the adult male population of Rome was 270,000 and the value of all property about $ 3 billion. It’s easy to imagine the wealthiest 1% of the population controlling 50% or more of this wealth. Scipio Africanus, the great general, who died in 183 B.C, left an estate of $ 600,000. His relative by marriage Aemilianus Paulus left an estate of $ 250,000.
As time went on in the Republic, there arose two great forces impacting the distribution of wealth: booty from war and the emergence of the Equestrian class (Knights). The former tended to enrich the generals (Caesar, Pompey and others) and move them up the wealth ladder, while the Knights became rich through their own efforts. Since the ruling class was prohibited from trade because it was seen as a low profession, the Knights became the businessmen the state needed to make the Republic work. They formed their own corporations and engaged in tax collection and public works. Over time, the wealth accumulated by the Knights, lowered the percentage of wealth controlled by the ruling class.
ung's Intelligence was bloody terrifying- This is a concise excerpt from the full video titled "Biblical Series VIII: The Phenomenology of the Divine," available on Jordan Peterson's YouTube channel. The original lecture was delivered on July 27, 2017. Jordan Peterson, a Canadian clinical psychologist and professor at the University of Toronto, finds Carl Jung's intelligence to be "bloody terrifying." Born on June 12, 1962, Peterson's work focuses on religious and ideological belief psychology, personality, and performance improvement. He is the author of "Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief," published in 1999.

This personal protector role expanded over time and Tribunes eventually acquired a powerful role in government. They were given the power to block legislation, call meetings of the Senate, or compel Consuls to comply with decrees of the Senate. In 286 B.C, the law Lex Hortensia was passed which gave the Plebian class, through its own assembly, the right to pass laws binding on all of Rome. Tribunes were elected by the Plebian Assembly and presided over its meetings.
But the aristocratic class came to regret what they had done in giving the lower class so much power, so they sought ways to influence the behavior of Tribunes on their behalf. By pressure or bribery, the rich began to induce the Tribunes to veto legislation they were opposed to. This problem came to a head during the Tribune of Tiberius Gracchus (133 B.C.) when he removed another Tribune from office for vetoing a land bill favored by the people but opposed by the Senate. Tiberius was later assassinated by the Senate for trying to accumulate power. This single event incited the Plebian class against the Senate, beginning the process of the decline of the Senate as an institution and the end of the Republic.
Bitcoin failed to recover the $85,000 level, where it traded before President Donald Trump's announcement of a U.S. crypto reserve sent it soaring.
The price of bitcoin failed to recover the $85,000 level – where it traded before President Donald Trump's announcement of a U.S. crypto reserve sent it soaring – after a sell-off driven by tariff concerns knocked it down.
Bitcoin was last lower by 2% on Tuesday at $83,508.78, according to Coin Metrics, and off its all-time high by 23%.
Ripple-related XRP and Cardano's ADA, two of the smaller cap coins mentioned in Trump's surprise announcement, were still holding onto some of their gains from the rally. Solana's SOL token also fully reversed its gain.

Risk assets including cryptocurrencies suffered steep declines on Monday as traders grappled with concerns that proposed tariffs were on track to take effect. That overshadowed the exuberance around Trump's so named U.S. "strategic crypto reserve," which some traders had hoped would pull bitcoin out of a slump. After reaching its record in January, it posted its worst month since 2022 in February.
As cars are becoming more connected, automakers see access to space as an important investment.
In January, Toyota said its mobility software subsidiary "Woven by Toyota" was investing $44 million into Japanese rocket maker Interstellar Technologies. Rival Honda has been developing a proprietary reusable rocket since 2019 to launch low-earth orbit satellites to space. Chinese automaker Geely Holding Group, a Tesla competitor, has invested $326 million to manufacture its own satellites.
"What are those satellites going to be used for and what are they already being used for?" said Micah Walter-Range, president of consulting firm Caelus Partners. "Some of it is for improving navigation services for cars. Some of it's for mapping. If you think about what's going to be needed a little further down the road for autonomous vehicles, having full awareness of what's going on on the road is incredibly valuable."
Cars today use satellite connectivity for tracking and location, software updates and entertainment like satellite radio. But as cars become more and more connected, automakers need the infrastructure to make that possible. That's where satellites, and the rockets needed to launch them, come into play. One recent report estimates that by 2030, connected vehicles could be a $742 billion annual revenue opportunity for automakers and suppliers.
As we stand on the precipice of technological advancement, the world of research is set to undergo a monumental transformation. By the end of this year, or potentially early next, the capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) models are predicted to surpass those of many human researchers. This impending shift holds profound implications for how we conduct research across various fields.
The arrival of advanced AI models will lead to a Snowball Effect, where the total number of effective AI researchers will multiply exponentially. From a few thousand experts in the field of AI research, we could soon see a landscape populated by a million or even a billion AI-powered researchers. This paradigm shift is expected to improve over time as these models become increasingly adept at generating high-quality research outputs.
Recent benchmarks indicate that AI models are rapidly approaching human capabilities. For instance, notable organizations like OpenAI are on track to develop AIs that rank among the best in coding. By the end of the year, they may achieve the status of the world's best coder. This success isn't isolated; if we apply the same trajectory to mathematics, we might soon have AI models recognized as the best mathematicians as well.
In this context, it becomes clear that traditional human genius will no longer serve as the bottleneck in research and technological development. AI's growing proficiency in math and coding highlights a critical shift in how we approach problem-solving within these domains. If the strongest minds we possess are now complemented, and potentially eclipsed, by AI, we must rethink the role that human researchers will play in the future of inquiry and innovation.
In summary, the impending advancements in AI technology promise to revolutionize the landscape of research. By producing a vast number of intelligent research entities capable of outperforming human specialists in key areas, we are set to enter an era where collaboration with AI will redefine progress. The path ahead is one filled with potential, but it necessitates careful consideration of the ethical, societal, and practical implications of integrating AI into our research frameworks.
The Current State of EV Sales: Debunking Myths and Insights
The narrative surrounding electric vehicle (EV) sales has often been steeped in misconceptions. Contrary to the belief that EV sales are collapsing globally, the conversation surrounding this topic reveals a more nuanced reality. In a recent discussion, Brian and his guest, Randy Kirk, explore the dynamics of the EV market, shedding light on the discrepancies in reported sales trends, particularly focusing on China’s burgeoning electric vehicle industry.
A significant highlight of the conversation is the impressive sales figures reported by BYD, a leading Chinese EV manufacturer. In February, BYD's exports soared by an astonishing 188%, with projections indicating nearly 4 million units sold annually. Notably, this growth occurred despite the absence of the Chinese New Year, which typically influences production schedules.
BYD aimed for monthly sales of around 500,000 units and appears well on its way to achieving that goal. Kirk emphasizes the company’s vertical integration and operational acumen, echoing a sentiment shared by industry experts like Sandy Monroe, who foresee BYD as a prominent player in the global EV market.
Kirk and Brian also highlight the successes of other Chinese manufacturers, such as Lee Auto and Xiaopeng Motors, indicating that many companies are thriving despite the challenges faced by legacy automakers. For instance, Xiaopeng delivered over 30,000 vehicles for the fourth consecutive month, showcasing strong demand in a competitive market. The discussion hints that the upward trajectory of newer brands may reshape the future landscape of the automotive industry.
The conversation digs deeper into the unique aspects of the Chinese market that contribute to the success of homegrown EV manufacturers. Kirk points out that the Chinese government plays a crucial role in promoting EV sales, offering incentives and setting a clear direction towards electrification. This top-down approach differs significantly from the democratic processes seen in Western markets, allowing a focused push towards sustainable transportation initiatives.
Furthermore, there’s a cultural element at play. Consumers in China, particularly within the middle and upper classes, are not only technically savvy but also prioritize possessing the latest technology. This behavior is not merely transactional; owning a cutting-edge electric vehicle becomes a status symbol, further driving the demand for innovative automotive offerings.
Despite the robust growth of Chinese manufacturers, legacy automakers in the U.S. face significant hurdles. The discussion notes that companies such as General Motors (GM) and Ford have reported increases in their battery electric vehicle (BEV) sales but still grapple with dwindling sales in traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. This shift indicates a broader transformation in consumer preferences, though it poses a challenge as these manufacturers balance the transition towards electrification with existing business models.
The comparative lack of vision among some legacy manufacturers, as noted in their strategic approaches, has been a point of contention. Kirk suggests that industry giants like Apple have struggled to penetrate the EV market due to a lack of visionary leadership and a rigid focus on profit margins, thus missing out on opportunities in a rapidly evolving space.
Brian and Kirk diverge into examining Apple’s failed attempt to enter the EV market, citing their high expectations for margins and an overly cautious approach. The podcast emphasizes that while Apple invested significantly in development, the company lacked the agile operational model and adaptability shown by its Chinese counterparts, leading to an unsuccessful foray into electric automobiles.
This situation illuminates broader issues in tech-company approaches to automotive innovation, where sustainable practices and the nimbleness of companies like Xiaomi, who successfully transitioned from smartphones to EVs, provide critical lessons.
The duo also mentions a crucial factor: profitability in the EV sector may be challenged by limited transparency in Chinese markets. While many companies are starting to yield profits, the influence of government subsidies—both overt and covert—creates a complex environment for assessing true market viability.
As Kirk notes, the road to profitability can be fraught with obstacles, and the expectation that companies can achieve successful, sustainable operations may take longer in emerging markets. Companies that are currently thriving must navigate a fine line between government support and consumer demand in a rapidly shifting landscape.
Throughout the discussion, it becomes apparent that the narrative surrounding EV sales is far from straightforward. While rumors of a general collapse in sales are misplaced, the landscape is indeed changing, with emerging players making significant strides and legacy manufacturers adapting at varying paces.
As the EV market continues to evolve, both opportunity and concern will characterize the journey ahead. Understanding the factors driving success in China’s automotive sector, alongside the challenges faced by traditional automakers, will be crucial for stakeholders globally looking to navigate the future of electric mobility.
In this rapidly advancing field, one thing remains clear: the demand for electric vehicles is not faltering; rather, it is transforming, driven by innovation, consumer choice, and a global shift towards sustainability.
Austin will be Waymo's fourth market after San Francisco, Phoenix and Los Angeles.
The launch sets up Waymo to showcase its driverless technology during Austin's annual South by Southwest festival that kicks off Friday. Approximately 300,000 people descend on the Texas capital to attend SXSW on average each year, according to the Austin Convention & Visitors Bureau.
"We can't wait for Austin locals and visitors alike to experience Waymo One via the Uber app starting this week," said Nicole Gavel, Waymo's head of business development and strategic partnerships, in a statement.
Waymo previously said it would be launching in Austin, among several other U.S. cities, in 2025.
Austin is the first market where Uber will manage and dispatch a fleet of Waymo vehicles. Riders in Phoenix can book Waymo rides through the Uber app, but the ride-sharing company does not manage the Waymo fleet in that market. The two companies' partnership will expand to Atlanta later this year, where Waymo employees have already begun taking fully autonomous trips across the city, the company said Tuesday.
Uber sold off its autonomous vehicle, or AV, unit in 2020 after a string of earlier safety incidents including one fatality. The two companies have not disclosed how they split revenue for Waymo rides booked through the Uber app.
Some of President Trump's most vocal supporters in tech took to social media to slam his latest proposal for a crypto strategic reserve.
President Donald Trump counted on crypto execs and investors for a hefty portion of his 2024 campaign funds. He promised to reward them handsomely if elected by slashing regulations and by turning the U.S. into "the crypto capital of the planet and the bitcoin superpower of the world."
The president got off to a quick start, signing an executive order calling for the establishment of a working group on digital assets and pardoning Silk Road creator Ross Ulbricht. The SEC also dropped its years-long probe into Coinbase.
While those moves were lauded by the most vocal techies who backed Trump's candidacy, over the weekend the president took it a step too far in their view. In a post on Truth Social on Sunday, Trump announced the creation of a strategic crypto reserve for the U.S. that would include not just bitcoin but several other digital currencies — ether, XRP, Solana's SOL token and Cardano's ADA.
For the most part, Trump's crypto backers all wanted a strategic bitcoin reserve. Such a move would entail using cash to buy bitcoin, which is widely viewed by crypto enthusiasts as a smart way to deploy capital into a decentralized currency that's an alternative to hard money. As Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong wrote on X, bitcoin offers a "clear story as successor to gold."
Nothing's new Phone (3a) features different shapes and so-called "Glyph" lights on the back that light up to preset ringtones and notification sound effects.
BARCELONA — British smartphone startup Nothing on Tuesday debuted a new handset it hopes can shake the mobile industry out of a perceived innovation slowdown.
Nothing launched its new Phone (3a) device, a budget phone that comes with an unusual design featuring multiple different shapes and so-called "Glyph" lights on the back that light up to preset ringtones and notification sound effects.
The Phone (3a) will retail at a starting price of £329 — or about $414 — while Phone (3a) Pro, a souped-up version of the device with better camera features, will start at £449.
The Nothing brand was founded in 2020 by Carl Pei, a co-founder of Chinese smartphone brand OnePlus, with the aim of bringing some "warmth" back to consumer tech products.
"In the past, people were so optimistic about technology. But now people are indifferent. And there must be a way of breaking the cycle," Pei told CNBC in an interview in 2021.
Pei's old company OnePlus gained something of a cult following in its early days, thanks to its focus on designing slick and affordable Android handsets and garnering buzz through unconventional marketing tactics.
Malaysian says its authorities are discussing the issue with the data center companies and checking if the chips have gone to the right parties.
Malaysia said it will take "necessary action" against Malaysian companies if they are found to be involved in a fraud case linked to the alleged movement of Nvidia chips from Singapore to China.
That comes after Singapore Law and Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam reportedly said on Monday that the servers in the fraud case may have contained Nvidia's artificial intelligence chips which were then sent to Malaysia.
On Feb. 27, Singapore charged three men with fraud, with local broadcaster CNA saying it understood the cases are linked to the alleged movement of Nvidia chips.
"The question is whether Malaysia was a final destination or from Malaysia, it went to somewhere else, which we do not know for certain at this point," Shanmugam told reporters.
He said such servers are imported by data center companies such as Microsoft, AWS and Google.
Singapore's Shanmugam had said Nvidia's chips were embedded in servers supplied by Dell and Supermicro to Singapore-based companies, before they went to Malaysia. He added that "there may have been false representation on the final destination of the servers."
Huawei's Trifold Smartphone: A Bold yet Troubling Venture
Ever since the United States imposed sanctions on Huawei in 2019, the company has found its smartphones and electronic goods steadily losing traction in international markets. After a lengthy period of silence, Huawei is now gearing up for a new global strategy, launching products that it hopes will recapture consumer interest. The unveiling of the world’s first trifold smartphone, the Mate XT, on February 18, 2024, in Malaysia marked a significant move for Huawei, representing one of its largest international product launches since facing US sanctions.
The Mate XT, priced at €3,500 (approximately 26,600 yen), is almost 3,000 yen more expensive than the domestic version with the same hardware specifications. However, while the international model features identical hardware, it does not run on Huawei’s Harmony OS. Instead, it uses EMUI 14.2, an operating system based on the Android open-source project tailored for international customers. This change results in notable shortcomings, as EMUI 14.2 lacks Google services, severely limiting app availability and functionality.
A Malaysian tech reviewer expressed frustration over the international version’s limited app offerings, highlighting a cumbersome process to install critical applications like banking apps. Given the steep price tag, many potential buyers find it hard to justify the Mate XT as a worthwhile investment, expressing concerns over its cost as impractical.
Aside from pricing, the device's innovative trifold design faces scrutiny. Critics note that while the device looks impressive when unfolded, it becomes unwieldy in its folded state, feeling heavy and cumbersome. International media coverage has largely underwhelmed, pointing out that the device does not cater well to consumer needs and fails to capture widespread recognition. For a product that generated much hype at launch, its shortcomings in practicality and usability are now front and center.
Despite the initial excitement, market performance has been lackluster. Reports indicate that in 2024, the overall foldable smartphone market experienced a drastic decline, with Huawei's Mate XT falling short of sales expectations. Although Huawei led the foldable sector with a 51% market share in China, the Mate XT itself could not compete with older models, such as the dual-fold Mate X5, which continues to outperform it in sales. The Mate XT ranked fifth among foldables, with estimated sales of only 280,000 units— approximately one-tenth of its predecessor.
Ambitions for Global Expansion: Navigating Challenges
In the wake of its slow sales, Huawei is strategizing a new global comeback targeting 60 countries. Emerging markets, including Malaysia, Indonesia, and the UAE, have been identified as key areas where Huawei can improve its footing. These regions are influenced by price sensitivity and a reduced reliance on Google's ecosystem, making them attractive entry points for Huawei’s devices.
However, the lack of cutting-edge chips and Google software poses significant barriers to Huawei's global expansion. iIn developed markets such as Europe and North America, consumers have high expectations regarding hardware performance. The absence of Google services further diminishes appeal, as Google Mobile Services (GMS) are central to the Android experience, providing essential apps and cloud integration.
Post-launch, the Mate XT has also been plagued with issues like quality concerns, which have been widely reported across social media platforms. Users have raised alarms about malfunctions, screen leaks, and other defects within weeks of purchase. Many have expressed dissatisfaction with Huawei's after-sale service, claiming their warranty did not cover repairs, adding to frustrations amongst potential buyers.
Moreover, repair costs are steep, ranging from thousands of yen for screen replacements to limited warranty options. Such financial burdens further discourage consumers from investing in the Mate XT, as the cost of maintaining the device can be prohibitive.
As Huawei continues navigating the challenging tech landscape, its fate in the foldable smartphone market remains ambiguous. Compounding issues of sustainability and market volatility, the company finds itself at a crossroads. Furthermore, other competitors, such as Honor, are shifting their focus away from trifold designs, reflecting a broader hesitance in the industry towards the long-term viability of such products.
Experts suggest that Huawei's recent global strategies seem to be more about maintaining a brand presence rather than achieving meaningful sales growth. With its smartphone market share now at just 0.3% outside of China, these efforts may serve to bolster symbolic notions of resilience in the face of ongoing challenges rather than translating into substantial market gains.
In summary, while Huawei's Mate XT has introduced a novel innovation with its trifold design, its appeal is heavily overshadowed by practical usability issues, steep pricing, and quality control concerns. As the company attempts to reclaim international market presence, significant obstacles remain, particularly in relation to geopolitical tensions and competitive barriers. Future efforts will require careful navigation of not just consumer expectations but also the broader economic landscape in which Huawei operates.
NASA also gathered acoustic data from XB-1’s flight. Interestingly, the analysis showed that no sonic boom was audible on the ground during the supersonic flight.
“This image makes the invisible visible—the first American-made civil supersonic jet breaking the sound barrier. Thanks to Geppetto’s [pilot] exceptional flying and our partnership with NASA, we were able to capture this iconic image,” said Blake Scholl, Founder and CEO of Boom Supersonic.
“We also confirmed that XB-1 made no audible sonic boom, which paves the way for coast-to-coast flights up to 50% faster,” Scholl added.
Researchers develop voltage-controlled ‘vortion’ for energy-efficient data storage, mimicking biological synapses for neuromorphic computing.
A ccording to estimates, 2.5 quintillion bytes of data is generated every day, indicating the need for highly efficient data storage solutions.
Researchers have now developed a voltage-controlled magnetic memory as an energy-efficient alternative. The research led by scientists from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) introduces a new magnetic state called a magneto-ionic vortex, or “vortion.”
Modern data storage relies on magnetic materials to store data, with information encoded on the magnetic moments of the atoms in the material. Magnetic moments are like compass needles and can point in two directions, representing bits (0 or 1).
The magnetic moment direction is manipulated and read to store and retrieve data using electric currents. This generates a lot of heat, resulting in significant power loss.
The vortion addresses this problem by using voltage instead of current to control the magnetic moments.
Mystical Conversations: A Satirical Exploration of AI and Improv

These moments serve as a playful critique of our tech-driven interactions while allowing the imagination to flourish. Whether it’s riding a dragon or considering the grand conspiracy of squirrels as government drones, each interaction invites the audience to engage in lighthearted speculation.
One of the standout sections comes when the dialogue transitions to a pirate-themed roleplay, where Wes finds himself navigating the dangers of the high seas against the fierce Captain Red. This segment captures the essence of thrilling adventures with an undercurrent of clever wit.
The playful back and forth culminates in discussions about the "most profitable cargo," revealing the clever and often humorous banter between characters. Wes’s self-identification as a valuable figure on the pirate ship adds to the charm, showcasing the courage and creative spirit in theatrical storytelling.
Wes's improvisation constantly shifts from ghostly encounters to awkward misunderstandings with various character roles, painting a picture of the chaotic, yet charming, nature of storytelling through dialogue. Each exchange embodies a sense of exaggerated absurdity, creating comedic moments that challenge expectations.
For example, the oversharing criminal being interrogated by the police introduces a layer of humor that reflects social anxieties around crime and law. As the conversation unfolds, the lawyer's attempts to soften the criminal's admissions highlight the farcical elements often found in crime dramas and detective stories.
This longform summary underscores the delightful creativity encompassed in the conversations between Wes and the AI. The combination of humor, improvisation, and fantastical elements creates a thematic landscape that invites readers to engage their imaginations while examining the human experience in unprecedented ways.
Whether discussing the inexplicably mundane or boldly diving into intricate piracy plots, the dialogue exemplifies how humor can serve as a conduit for deeper understanding and connection between technology and humanity. This playful exploration of both dark and light themes reminds us that the journey of conversation—be it with AI or human—is a richly rewarding experience filled with possibilities.

ANSTO begins decommissioning Australia’s historic HIFAR reactor, marking a milestone in nuclear history after nearly 70 years.
Australia’s Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) has embarked on a major decommissioning project for the country’s first nuclear research reactor.
Located at Lucas Heights, HIFAR was opened back in 1958 by Australian Prime Minister Sir Robert Menzies. It remained operational for nearly 50 years before being replaced by ANSTO’s current research reactor, OPAL, in 2007.
The commencement of the decommissioning project follows a license issued in late 2024 by the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) for the initial stages of dismantling.
ANSTO CEO Shaun Jenkinson reflected on the significance of HIFAR, stating, “Australia’s nuclear age was formally ushered in with the commissioning of HIFAR, which has remained an iconic landmark on ANSTO’s campus.”
“The distinctive white circular steel frame of the HIFAR facility has been a prominent fixture of Lucas Heights and across the valley here in southern Sydney for nearly 70 years,” he added.
Decommissioning nuclear reactor
The decommissioning of HIFAR is a complex, multi-stage process that will be carried out in line with international best practices.
ANSTO’s extensive experience in radiation protection, safety, and engineering will play a crucial role in ensuring safe and efficient decommissioning.
First Light Fusion’s strategy shift creates a “capital-light, high-margin business that will generate revenue from this year.”
Oxfordshire-based startup First Light Fusion has announced a big shift in its nuclear gun strategy. The company will no longer develop a proposed ignition demonstration plant called Machine 4.
Instead, it aims to commercialize its technology for various applications within the defense and space sectors.
In 2022, the company announced its prototype, the Big Friendly Gun (BFG). This technology would allow it to achieve nuclear fusion without relying on lasers and powerful magnets.
First Light Fusion’s nuclear fusion ‘gun’
First Light Fusion claims it has shifted its strategy to start making revenue as soon as this year. Nuclear fusion famously has the potential to alter the energy landscape completely. The method produces power using the same method as the Sun and the stars.
Fusion occurs when two atoms slam together to form a heavier nucleus, releasing vast amounts of energy.
However, fusion companies require much investment to make incremental steps towards this ultimate goal. They also rely on the promise of fusion becoming a reality in the not-too-distant future.
First Light Fusion claims its pistol shrimp-inspired technology could cut costs by removing the need for powerful magnets required to control the fiery plasma for the nuclear fusion process. The company’s Big Friendly Gun (BFG) is a massive £1.1 million ($1.27 million) steel gun that fires a high-velocity piston with 6.6 lbs of gunpowder.

The creator also checked out the Atari Game Station Go, a handheld console with a 720p display, USBC charging, and an HDMI port. Additionally, they visited the XR booth, which featured AR glasses with a 100in theater screen experience. The creator also saw the ulone booth, which showcased insanely durable phones with long battery life, and the Cotus Mind 2, a mini PC with a battery that can be docked and used as a portable PC.
The Parametrization of Crypto Economic Systems: Understanding Claro's
William George, a researcher with the Claro's Cooperative, recently presented a deep dive into the methodology of parameterizing crypto economic systems, particularly focusing on the workings of Claro's, a blockchain-based dispute resolution platform. His discussion illuminated the principles guiding the platform's design, the practical challenges faced in selecting parameters, and the philosophical considerations driving these decisions.
Claro's simplifies the process of dispute resolution by utilizing blockchain technology to manage contracts and ensure impartiality through crowd-sourced adjudication. In typical scenarios involving two parties—such as Alice, a small business owner, and Bob, a freelancer—when disputes arise, instead of relying on traditional contractual enforcement, they can opt for Claro's. Alice puts payment into an escrow managed by a smart contract. Should a conflict arise, a group of randomly selected users acts as jurors to make a decision based on game theory principles, particularly the concept known as a "Schelling point." This idea, formulated by economist Thomas Schelling, posits that in situations devoid of communication, individuals will tend to gravitate towards solutions perceived as natural or obvious.
Choosing the right parameters is critical in ensuring that the Claro's system functions effectively. There are several key parameters to consider:
Juror Compensation – The fee paid to jurors for their services.
Stake System – Jurors may be required to put up a stake that could be forfeited if they fail to align with community consensus.
Appeal Protocols – Parameters such as how many times a decision can be appealed, how long to submit evidence, and voting periods.
The parameterization process often involves community engagement through discussions and voting within forums, where various parameters are proposed, debated, and adjusted based on feedback.
Central to the governance of the Claro's platform is the issue of attack resistance. The governance model aims to prevent any single participant from controlling more than 50% of the token allocation in voting. This is crucial to avert malicious manipulations of parameters that could undermine system integrity. The alignment of governance attack resistance with the core dispute resolution game is noteworthy; both systems are protected by the same security assumptions about token distribution.
George proposes a philosophical approach known as governance minimization. The idea suggests that if possible, parameters should not exist at all, as managing their dynamic regulation poses the risk of malicious interference. Alternatives such as deploying new contracts for different parameter values may offer some flexibility, but such fragmentation can create vulnerabilities to 51% attacks, thereby weakening the system's resilience.
An inclination towards free market dynamics raises questions about the efficiency and integrity of parameter adjustments. George discusses models where juror fees could auto-adjust based on market dynamics. However, potential pitfalls exist, such as incentivizing dishonest jurors to underbid to gain unfair advantages in disputes. Instead, a better solution could involve parties setting price thresholds that ensure a broad selection of juror expertise while safeguarding against malicious underbidding.
Tools for Parameterization
In his research, George highlights several tools for effective parameterization:
Calculators – These tools can help establish a framework where jurors are encouraged to participate honestly. They can input various factors such as expected pay, effort, and success rates to ascertain a set of parameters that ensure economic sustainability for honest jurors.
Agent-Based Modeling – This method simulates user personas to better understand potential outcomes under varying parameter conditions. It offers insights into how economic conditions might affect juror behavior, identifying potential feedback loops in the system.
The quest for effective parameterization within crypto economic systems like Claro's is a complex interplay of incentives, choices, and community dynamics. Success lies not only in establishing robust systems for adjudication but also in cultivating a framework that minimizes governance while remaining resilient to attacks. Utilizing practical tools such as parameter calculators and agent-based models can help navigate these complexities, ensuring that systems deliver fair and efficient dispute resolution.
This exploration ultimately reflects the broader ambitions and challenges faced by decentralized platforms in an ever-evolving digital economy, reminding stakeholders of the importance of striking a balance between flexibility and security to foster trust and functionality in blockchain technologies.

Gambling isn't a strong suit and is best avoided. Yet, imagine engaging in it through a completely decentralized and trustless method rather than relying on 2-3 multisigs or even less robust arrangements.

Your message is contradictory. You said gambling is best to be avoided and yet you are advocating for a decentralized gambling. Gambling is bad, whether centralized or decentralized.
I get that—I'm not advocating gambling outright. I'm interested in how decentralized, trustless systems offer a different risk profile compared to traditional multisig setups, without necessarily endorsing the activity itself

It seems the U.S crypto reserve announced by Donald Trump was a plank. The market is going the opposite against expectations.
I don't think so, if it was, he could definitely milk it a lot more first. People are scared about tariffs and don't realize bitcoin is probably the safest place to preserve value
Why would people be so pissed with tariffs when they are not the one being attacked directly. I don't seem to get it.
Many people say the cost is transferred to the consumer which makes sense if people still want to buy from other countries, it will make those products more expensive. Also it causes trade disputes which are generally not great for the economy. The upside is it can boost the local economy over time
How does all these related to BTC and the crypto market? Are the tariffs going to be paid in crypto?
Can you check your DM on discord, I sent you a message and a friend request.

Attention, crypto enthusiasts! The announcement by a former leader sparked bullish sentiment—indeed it did! Long positions have been held for quite some time. However, until legislative approval is secured, it's still theoretical talk.
Despite that, a significant milestone has been reached. #CryptoNews #Blockchain
The initiative focused on identifying fraud and waste in DOGE should be established as a permanent effort. This issue won't simply vanish after a couple of years of investigation.
Given the inherently wasteful and fraudulent tendencies often found in government, there is a clear need for a dedicated team empowered to rectify existing problems.

What is Aura Farming? @llamathreads #askleo #freecompliments
Waiting for an answer
Introduction to Aura Farming
Aura farming refers to the practice of cultivating and manipulating auras, which are the subtle energies that surround living beings, objects, or environments.
Definition and Purpose
The purpose of aura farming can vary, but it's often used for spiritual growth, energy healing, or protection. Some believe that by cultivating a strong, balanced aura, individuals can improve their overall well-being, enhance their intuitive abilities, and create a more harmonious connection with the world around them.
Techniques and Methods
Techniques for aura farming can include meditation, visualization, sound healing, and other energy-based practices. By learning to sense, balance, and nurture their auras, individuals can allegedly tap into the subtle forces that shape their experiences and perception of reality.

Just why you shouldn't flex your crypto portfolio online
American Internet celebrity Caitlin Siragusa, known as Amouranth, was attacked by unknown persons and demanded at gunpoint to transfer cryptocurrency.
In November last year, Amouranth disclosed its cryptocurrency holdings of more than 211 BTC and 22.9 ETH worth more than $19 million.
The victim reported that she had shot one of the attackers.
She's pretty..... dumb

Honestly, I think the crypto market won't survive if everyone keeps moving based on what Donald Trump says. We're all gonna get wrecked while they keep filling up their bags.
both negative and positive aspects driving the market. correction is also very important.
One minute crypto is this, market pump, then the next minute tariffs that, and market dump. It's just crazy.
I agree but that goes for the real world as well and then crypto going down will be the least of our worries
Y'all are trying to give him too much power over the market. The only control he has is putting fear into investors. Except, they are not. This administration has already dropped most of the SEC law suites from the previous, as well as starting the reserve. I think most people don't have the proper understanding and only go based on headlines instead of facts. Don't get caught up in the noise.
The crypto markets don't need government, Wall Street, etc. It's supposed to be the alternative, so let's get back to that and say fuck it to whatever the governments do! That's how you take the power away from them is to stop giving it to them! The problem is to get people to wake the fuck up and stop being scared little sheep and take a stand!

Part 1/6:
Delicious Pork Kebab and Braised Cabbage Recipe
If you’re in the mood for a hearty and satisfying meal, this pork kebab recipe accompanied by braised cabbage is an excellent choice. With a combination of marinated pork, colorful vegetables, and robust flavors, this dish is sure to impress. Let’s dive into the step-by-step process of preparing this culinary delight.
Ingredients Required
To start, gather the following ingredients:
700g (24.7 oz) of pork, cut into 8 pieces
4 potatoes
2 large onions
5 slices of bacon
2 sausages
1 purple onion
1 red bell pepper
1 green pepper
600g (21.2 oz) of cabbage
Garlic (2 cloves)
Soy Sauce (2 tbsp)
Ketchup (1 tbsp)
Mustard (1 tsp)
Honey (1 tsp)
Part 2/6:
Butter (20g or 0.7 oz)
Olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika for seasoning
Marinating the Pork
Begin by flattening the pork pieces lightly with a mallet to facilitate even cooking. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper. Allow the pork to rest on a plate for 15 minutes to let the flavors penetrate.
Preparing the Potatoes and Onions
While the pork is marinating, slice 4 potatoes into pieces and season them with salt, black pepper, a dash of paprika, and a drizzle of olive oil. Toss everything together in a bowl to ensure even coating.
Next, take 2 large onions and cut them into sizeable slices. These will add great flavor to the kebabs.
Assembling the Kebabs
Part 3/6:
To assemble the kebabs, thread the seasoned potatoes onto wooden skewers, followed by the marinated pork pieces, then the onion slices.
For added flavor, take the slices of bacon and wrap them around the skewers. Ensure the bacon edges are folded in so they don’t hang down and spoil the appearance.
Top off your skewers with any leftover potatoes to fill out the kebabs.
Wrapping and Baking
Wrap the assembled kebabs in wet parchment paper, followed by a layer of foil to keep them moist while cooking. Place them in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) and bake for approximately 60 minutes.
Preparing the Braised Cabbage
Part 4/6:
While the kebabs are baking, melt 20g (0.7 oz) of butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the bacon slices and fry until golden brown, then remove them from the pan.
In the same pan, coarsely chop 1 purple onion and add it to the butter. Fry the onion for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Next, add 1 red bell pepper and 1 green pepper, frying the mixture for an additional 3-4 minutes. Don’t forget to prepare 2 sausages by cutting them into slices; add them to the pan.
In another step, crush and chop the 2 cloves of garlic alongside 1/2 tsp of coriander and additional black pepper. Mix these with the fried vegetables and bacon, then coarsely chop the 600g (21.2 oz) of cabbage and add it to the pot.
Part 5/6:
Cover the mixture and let it cook for about 10 minutes, incorporating 2 tbsp of soy sauce, 1 tbsp of ketchup, 1 tsp of mustard, and 1 tsp of honey to create a savory sauce. Stir well to combine.
Finishing Touches
After the kebabs have baked for 60 minutes, generously spread the cabbage sauce over them and return to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes.
After adding salt and stirring the mixture after 10 minutes, continue cooking until the cabbage has softened and flavored beautifully.
Serving the Meal
Once everything is perfectly cooked, plate your delicious kebabs paired with the braised cabbage.

How to Make Little Caesars Viral Crazy Puffs: A Step-by-Step Guide
Little Caesars' Crazy Puffs have taken the internet by storm, becoming a viral sensation among food enthusiasts. If you're looking to create these delicious and comforting snacks at home, this article will guide you through the process with detailed steps and tips for a successful bake.
Ingredients Needed
To start your journey into making Crazy Puffs, you'll need a few key ingredients:
Pizza Dough: You can either make your own or purchase pre-made pizza dough from the store. For convenience, it's recommended to use store-bought pizza dough, such as that from Publix.
Garlic Butter: This tasty mixture is made using:
4 tablespoons of butter (melted)
1 to 2 teaspoons of minced garlic
Part 2/6:
1 teaspoon of parsley
½ teaspoon of Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese
Filling Ingredients:
Shredded mozzarella cheese
Marinara sauce
Pepperoni slices
Preparing the Dough
Begin by greasing your hands with olive oil to prevent the pizza dough from sticking. Take a piece of the dough and roll it into a small ball. Repeat the process until you have the desired number of dough balls. Once prepared, set the balls aside while you create the garlic butter mixture.
Making Garlic Butter
Part 3/6:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add in your minced garlic, parsley, Italian seasoning, and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix everything together until well blended. This garlic butter will not only enhance the flavor of your Crazy Puffs but also serve as a greasing agent for the muffin pan.
Shaping the Crazy Puffs
Next, use the garlic butter to grease a muffin pan generously. Place each dough ball into the pan. After adding all the balls, cover the pan with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm area for about 30 minutes to an hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Part 4/6:
Once the dough has risen, carefully remove the plastic wrap. To shape the Crazy Puffs, grease a shot glass with olive oil and use it to create a well in the center of each dough ball, forming a cup shape. Make sure to press up around the edges to ensure it holds the filling.
Filling the Puffs
Now comes the exciting part — adding the fillings! Start by adding a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese to each dough cup. Follow this with 1 to 2 teaspoons of marinara sauce, a slice of pepperoni, and then finish off with more shredded mozzarella cheese. Repeat this filling process for each cup until they're all filled.
Baking the Crazy Puffs
Part 5/6:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Once heated, place your filled muffin pan in the oven and bake for approximately 12 to 15 minutes. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don't overcook.
After baking, remove the Crazy Puffs from the oven. Using the remaining garlic butter you prepared earlier, brush it over the tops of the puffs to add extra flavor. To give it a fresh touch, sprinkle some parsley and oregano on top.
Serving the Crazy Puffs
Your mouth-watering Crazy Puffs are now complete! Plate them up and get ready to enjoy these delightful snacks. With golden, crispy outsides and a cheesy, flavor-packed filling, these puffs are sure to impress anyone who tries them.
Conclusion
Part 6/6:
The Crazy Puffs are not only a fun and delicious treat but also incredibly easy to make. With minimal ingredients and straightforward steps, you can recreate this viral snack in the comfort of your home. So gather your ingredients, get cooking, and partake in the deliciousness that everyone can't stop talking about!

A Farewell Feast: A Culinary Adventure in Georgia
As the holiday draws to a close, the energy in the kitchen is palpable. Welcoming family and friends one last time, the spirit of celebration fills the air. In this delightful culinary experience, we follow the journey of a passionate cook, reunited with her sister Angela and the playful camaraderie of JJ Mo and Associates, as they prepare two beloved dishes: quiche and apple pie.
The Kitchen Preparation
Part 2/7:
The process begins with excitement and choice of ingredients. The cook emphasizes the importance of using what is available at home. With a wide smile, she lays out the all-purpose flour, salt, and cold vegetable shortening, all essential for creating a flaky pie crust. This detail is shared with viewers who can find the full list of ingredients in the comments or description box below the video.
Part 3/7:
The kitchen is alive with conversation and laughter. With only enough time to prepare these two dishes before their departure, they embark on making a simple quiche. Folding the cold shortening into the flour, Angela steps in as her assistant, and their playful banter highlights the joy of cooking together. A necessary reminder of cleanliness is given, ensuring that every kitchen task begins with clean hands.
Crafting the Perfect Crust
The process of making pie crust, often seen as daunting, is tackled with ease. The duo shifts to a larger bowl to accommodate the growing mixture, noting how essential it is to keep everything cold for a perfect texture. The mixture comes together in a dough ball, indicating they are one step closer to their culinary creation.
Part 4/7:
A touch of creativity shines through as they conventionally roll the dough with a wine bottle, a nod to cultural cooking methods. Laughter fills the room as they sprinkle flour to prevent sticking, illustrating the balance between casual cooking and the need for careful execution. They expertly roll the dough, highlighting the need for some visible butter to ensure flakiness once baked.
Filling the Quiche
Next, the focus shifts to the quiche filling. For every egg added, the rule of thumb is to complement it with a quarter cup of milk. As they crack eggs and mix them with cream and shredded cheese, the essence of the recipe is captured – comfort food at its finest.
Part 5/7:
With ham, onions, and spring onions mixed in, the anticipation builds. The cook graciously encourages viewers to use any cheese of their preference, underscoring the adaptability of recipes.

Final Steps and The Apple Pie
As they prepare to place the quiche in the preheated oven, the environment buzzes with excitement. Their enthusiasm is contagious; they know they are just moments away from enjoying their hearty creations. With the quiche baking away, attention shifts quickly to the apple pie.
Part 6/7:
While the details of the apple pie preparation are kept short and sweet, the urgency underlines their need to depart. With a sprinkle of love and the promise of deliciousness, they wrap up their baking adventure. Unfortunately, time constraints prevent them from cutting into their baked goods, yet their plan to recreate these recipes for Christmas is already brewing.
A Fond Farewell
As the cooking segment draws to a close, the host expresses heartfelt gratitude to the viewers. With a cheerful wave goodbye and loving reminders about the importance of God and family, she conveys the essence of the season – love and connection. A quick recap of their efforts brings a satisfying end to their culinary journey, leaving behind not just food but cherished memories of togetherness.
Part 7/7:
In this tender farewell, the joy of cooking intertwines with family ties, creating lasting impressions that will hold them until they can reunite once again.

What guides did you use to set it up?
Mostly none... just what is on hive source and a bit of my experience.
But I am building a guide to my own. I will then probably try to explain people what parts are which. I might be able to forge a version of it for people and explain a bit of my rationale behind it.
I feel like a lot of Hive is here is the source code / gitlab etc... best of luck.
More guides are needed to onboard people.
I agree... first I need to go through the experience. Then I will feel more confident to share and educate.

Within just a few days, legal actions have been halted for Robinhood, Coinbase, Uniswap, and MetaMask. The stark contrast between prevailing crypto sentiment and the bright future ahead is striking.
Exciting times lie ahead. #crypto #blockchain
"Consensys and the SEC have agreed in principle to dismiss the securities enforcement case regarding MetaMask.
Pending Commission approval, the SEC will submit a court stipulation to close this case. The commitment to defend blockchain software developers against regulatory overreach remains strong.
Through our lawsuit—sparked by indications that Ethereum was becoming the next target—the SEC dropped its Ethereum investigation, marking another significant victory for a better financial system and internet.
Gratitude goes to the exceptional legal team and Consensys family for their unwavering commitment.
Moving forward, a continued dialogue with policymakers will keep championing the interests of consumers and businesses, setting the stage for a more decentralized future."
Buenos dias!! Espero tengan todos el mejor día posible.
🧵 Aunque faltan algunos días para el día internacional de la mujer, animado por la iniciativa de la comunidad #humanitas he publicado un articulo hablando sobre la filosofa que más me ha influenciado. Me refiero a María Zambrano, una filosofa española del siglo XX que sin lugar a dudas ha marcado un hito en el modo de concebir la filosofía y que personalmente considero no se le ha dado la justicia suficiente en el sentido de estudiarla y divulgarla. https://img.inleo.io/DQmRJ4jPup8MRzVRyEaqctMH47Ay8ydvNh3a61u31SJx1QV/@filoriologo%20(3).png
¡Si quieres conocer un poco más sobre ella en mis siguientes hilos dejare el enlace a mi articulo! #spanish #outreach #threadstorm
2/3 Hablar de María Zambrano para mi es motivo de alegría, pero también representa un reto. Creo que ha sido ella quien ha uelto a reconciliar la filosofía con la poesía tras 2000 años de disputa, pues desde Platón, los poetas ha quedado relegados a un lugar donde la parecer el saber no habita, y nuestra filosofa ha desmentido tal cosa. La filosofía es método y la poesía es hallazgo, y ambas representan lugares del ser que en comunión pueden alcanzar asombrosas verdades. Pero, sin animos de hacer esto demasiado largo, a continuación te comparto el enlace a mi publicación.
3/3 Acá el enlace a mi artículo:

Opinions regarding leaked materials remain unchanged, holding accountable those who expose private conversations. It's widely understood that outrageous statements made in private often aren't meant for public consumption.
However, when someone releases a video, it shifts the context, making the statements appear more severe and prompting critics to overreact. Such a breach of trust is utterly indefensible.
Regarding the remarks in question, one might ask: would there truly be a serious confrontation, or is it simply a matter of avoiding an unfavorable situation?
"lol, no"

looks like the InLeo proposal is funded.
so that is good.
The last time I checked, about 2-3 hours ago, it was at 96%.
I hope it gets funded if it hasn't. I was thinking it would have to reach 100% before it is funded.
I just looked and it was funded.
This week, more than 1200 accounts were unfollowed for their absence.
Responding makes one a legend, while not replying might suggest a lack of effort.
Here on HIVE?
This probably a bot or someone with much free time 😅
Yes, still on HIVE. Noticed over 1200 inactive accounts got trimmed recently, so it's a reminder to keep the conversation lively and stay connected without pressure Hope that adds a bit of insight into our current vibe on here
They can't get trimmed... That's not how it works on Hive. If they unfollow you, then you need to figure out why and bring better value, or it's some kind of bot account. But nobody can ever take them away like on web 2 networks. There is no centralized point of authority. It's built into the protocol.
You’re right about the protocol. My point was just a reminder to keep engaged—it’s on us to create value, whether it’s bot accounts or natural un-follows to guide us on what works and what doesn’t
Hey so how exactly did that money spent on the Splinterlands DHF proposal work out???
I have not seen an increase in Hive users or the price of Hive.
but no issues with that but people had issues with the InLeo proposal.
Okay. just so we know where we stand.
That DHF money will be spent over the next few months in a big marketing campaign for splinterlands. They have hired an external marketing team, that specialises in web 3 gaming.
For what It's worth, I completely agree that the INLEO proposal should have been passed comfortably and ASAP.
I think they have built something of great value. Its disappointing to see the childish politics get in the way of progress.

Nah, we have our own HBD payment features as well as other currencies that work perfectly fine. These also don't require a middleman. They are direct to wallet payments.
what other currencies do you accept?
HBD, BTC, BCH, and XMR currently. About to add support for stablecoins on a few EVM chains and Solana, well, really I just have to flip a switch, but I need to go in and add Arbitrum options before I do.
very nice
I am also working on a payment plugin that will only give stablecoin options for physical items and would give me the ability to accept more volatile cryptos for digital items as those I don't have the same costs that I do with physical.

How do you balance your HP and LP for those that use a single account like me?
My HP could be 80% and my LP at 100%.
This actually deters me from using my LP since my HP also goes with it.
But, you are not benefiting anything by not using it.
Perhaps you didn't get what the problem is. The fact that my LP is tied to my HP is giving me problems. Of course, I want to use my LP
You have to find your balance, but, no matter what... You have to use your power.
You are right. Perhaps the best way would be to open an alt for LP specially

Here is the daily technology #threadcast for 3/4/25. The goal is to make this a technology "reddit".
Drop all question, comments, and articles relating to #technology and the future. The goal is make it a technology center.
Paragraph
Investors and analysts warn that economic uncertainty could keep its hold on bitcoin throughout March, with the crypto industry absent a specific catalyst. With the idea of a U.S. reserve holding crypto largely priced in, regulatory clarity through clear legislation may be the more likely catalyst to jump start prices in a meaningful way.
"The lack of information on the amount of crypto the U.S. government will buy, and how the purchase will be funded, coupled with fears of a market retreat if expectation does not meet reality, means that the likelihood of high volatility in the crypto markets will continue," said Deutsche Bank analyst Marion Laboure said in a note Tuesday.
Investors this week will keep an eye on the inaugural White House Crypto Summit, which is scheduled to take place this Friday, for updates on the details of the reserve, as well as the administration's plans to support the industry.
"In the smartphone world, Apple is shifting from a single device sale to additional services that can be provided throughout the life of that device," Walter-Range said. "So for a car, it's the same deal. You know, once you sell that car, are there additional revenue streams that you can get by providing services? Some of those services can be delivered from space."
One model is charging subscriptions for advanced driver assistance systems. General Motors' Super Cruise uses cameras, sensors and real-time location and map data from GPS satellites to allow the vehicle to do things like automatically steer and keep the car centered in a lane. In the company's fourth-quarter earnings report, GM CEO Mary Barra said the company expected that within the next five years, Super Cruise would bring in about $2 billion in annual revenue for the company.
By the fall of the Republic there were hundreds of corporations selling shares to investors. Manufacturing and trades flourished: including furniture making, leatherwork, weaving, metalworking, stoneworking, and food processing.
American Factions
I talked in the last post about Roman factions, and it is interesting to compare the Roman experience with that of the United States in the years after the Constitution was ratified. The United States began, as the Roman Republic, with no political parties – only different political philosophies. The main opponents were Hamilton (traditionalist/for strong central government) and Jefferson (government by the people/Republican).
Hamilton perceived early on that one of the keys to government was to forge an alliance between the government and men of wealth. In his mind democracy was unworkable because it would always lead to anarchy. Hamilton despised public opinion and told Washington that he considered it “of no value.” By the time the revolution ended he had arrived at his architecture of government which included strength supported by wealth which would be sustained, if need be, by a standing army.
A Waymo car drives along a street on March 01, 2023 in San Francisco, California. Waymo, Alphabet's self-driving car division, announced that it has laid off over 135 employees in a second round of layoffs this year.
"With Waymo's technology and Uber's proven platform, we're excited to introduce our customers to a future of transportation that is increasingly electric and autonomous," Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said in a statement.
Alphabet-owned Waymo, which has pulled far ahead of self-driving car competitors in the U.S., is currently serving over 200,000 paid trips per week across San Francisco, Los Angeles and Phoenix, according to the company.
Waymo's Austin expansion also sets up the company for a potential clash with Elon Musk-led Tesla later this year.
David Sacks, U.S. President Donald Trump's "AI and Crypto Czar", speaks to President Trump as he signs a series of executive orders in the Oval Office of the White House on Jan. 23, 2025 in Washington, DC.
By going well beyond bitcoin, the critics say, Trump would be using U.S. taxpayer money to buy much riskier assets that have unproven value and have the potential to bolster the net worth of a select few investors who own the coins. That's all the more problematic to those who want to axe government spending by trillions of dollars, in support of Elon Musk's cost-cutting mission at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency.
"Taxation is theft," wrote Joe Lonsdale, founder of venture firm 8VC and a vocal Trump supporter, in a post on X. "It should be kept to a minimum. It's wrong to steal my money for grift on the left; it's also wrong to tax me for crypto bro schemes."
Pei appears to be gunning for the same kind of appeal with Nothing. In the leadup to Phone (3a)'s launch, Nothing put out a video that depicted a humanoid robot — made by Norwegian startup 1X — unboxing the device and holding it up.
'Sea of smartphone sameness'
Ben Wood, chief analyst at market research firm CCS Insight, applauded Nothing for "trying to do something different" to combat what he called the "sea of smartphone sameness."
"Bottom line, if you want to sell phones in this more affordable segment, you have to have something that stands out from the crowd," Wood told CNBC.
Although Washington was sympathetic to the philosophy of the Federalists he was essentially a president without party. The election of 1796, however, pitted the Federalist Adams against the Republican Jefferson. Adams won the presidency and for the only time in American history the vice-president, Jefferson, represented a different party. Jefferson openly opposed the policies of Adams so strongly that the Federalists passed the Alien and Sedition Act of 1798 as an attempt to control criticism of government. The backlash from this law swept Jefferson and the Republicans into office in 1800 and destroyed the Federalist Party forever.
Wood argues that Nothing will have to be "extremely price competitive" given how much it's targeting the Indian market, too. In January, Pei said Nothing was now the fastest-growing smartphone brand in India, achieving 557% year-over-year growth in 2024.
Notably, Nothing said that its pricier Phone (3a) Pro model won't be available for orders in India. The company's co-founder Akis Evangelidis plans to move to India to head up operations there later this year.
The charges also come after Reuters reported in late January that the U.S. Commerce Department is looking into whether Chinese AI startup DeepSeek has been using U.S. chips that are not allowed to be shipped to China.
Citing a person familiar with the matter, Reuters said "organized AI chip smuggling to China has been tracked out of countries including Malaysia, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates."
Zafrul told CNBC that Malaysia will be checking the chips' destination, but added, "what I can say today [is] the chips are not meant to be in Malaysia in the first place. So the question is, why is it going out of Singapore?"
Russia and Iran have not publicly confirmed or denied the request, and the White House did not immediately respond to Bloomberg's request for comment.
But Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, while responding to questions sent by the outlet, that "Russia believes that the United States and Iran should resolve all problems through negotiations."
He added that Moscow "is ready to do everything in its power to achieve this."
Esmaeil Baghaei, a spokesman for Iran's foreign ministry, said it is "natural" for countries to offer to help, given the significance of the matters.
Ukraine's Osadchuk to Newsmax: Zelenskyy Has Ukraine's Support
Ukrainian Parliament Member Andrii Osadchuk says President Volodymyr Zelenskyy hasn't lost the support of the Ukrainian people.
Ukrainian Parliament Member Andrii Osadchuk says President Volodymyr Zelenskyy hasn't lost the support of the Ukrainian people.
"I wouldn't say so," Osadchuk told Newsmax's "National Report."
"And again, it was a big manipulation with the [approval] figures. When President [Donald] Trump was saying about 4% support of Zelenskyy, which is not correct at all, based on all information which we currently have, President Zelenskyy has more than 55% support in Ukraine and, in fact, all different parties, despite opposition or coalition, has consensus that during this stage of the war, it's simply impossible to conduct elections in Ukraine," he added.
Great analysis. Newcomers often wonder if it's too late to navigate the financial market, but the market is always unpredictable. Trading has more advantages than simply holding, so it's important to learn before diving in. Active trades are necessary to ride the market's waves. Thanks to Sophia E. Haney’s insights, daily trade signals, and my dedication to learning, I've been increasing my daily earnings, managed to grow a nest egg of around 127k to a decent 732k. Kudos to the journey ahead!
Capturing the Schlieren images was a challenging feat, requiring perfect conditions, precise timing, and expert piloting.
If successful, this technique reveals the invisible — the change in air density around the aircraft at supersonic speeds.
Boom’s Chief Test Pilot, Tristan “Geppetto” Brandenburg, skillfully maneuvered XB-1 to a specific point over the Mojave Desert. This allowed NASA to photograph the shock waves as the jet flew in front of the sun at supersonic speeds.
The key here is the way the nitrogen ions migrate from the material. Their movement begins at the bottom of the nanodot (closest to the electrode) and proceeds upward, creating a growing ferromagnetic layer from the bottom up.
As this ferromagnetic layer thickens, the magnetic moments spontaneously arrange into a vortex state, consisting of magnetic moments rotating around a central core. This configuration, which the researchers named a vortion, allows for precise, energy-efficient control of magnetic properties.
Precise control over magnetic properties
The magnetic properties of a vortion aren’t fixed. The longer a voltage is applied, the more ions move out, and the thicker the magnetic layer becomes.
To test its magnetic properties after formation, the researchers apply external magnetic fields of varying strengths. They discovered that voltage application time creates measurable, distinct differences in magnetic properties.
Each of the magnetic properties can hold information in multiple states. For example, if researchers can reliably distinguish between 8 different magnetization strengths by precisely controlling voltage application time, then a single nanodot could effectively store 8 different values (instead of just 0 or 1).
“The voltage actuation procedure, instead of using electric current, prevents heating in devices such as laptops, servers, and data centers. It drastically reduces energy loss,” noted Dr. Irena Spasojević, first author of the study, in a press release.
The Carthaginian army followed the Rhone River and proceeded to what is now Grenoble, France during fourth week in October. Snow was already on the ground, and the prospects for the 46,000 infantry and cavalry were not good. Because of a missed turn and harassing attacks from the native tribes, Hannibal was forced to cross the Alps by an unconventional route. It took nine days to reach the highest point and six more days to descend into western Italy near Torino (Turin). The Carthaginian army lost 20,000 men in its trek over the Alps, although his 37 elephants survived. Even with these losses, Hannibal was able to prepare for battle and won his first great victory over the Romans at Trebbia on December 21st, 218 B.C.
In 217 B.C. Hannibal moved into the Italian peninsula hoping to get the Roman allies to defect to his cause but was unable to do so. He stayed until 203 B.C, harassing the Romans until he was recalled to Carthage to help oppose a Roman invasion. Hannibal was defeated by Scipio Africanus at the battle of Zama in 202 B.C, ending the second Punic War.
Senior Project Manager Brett Wheeler highlighted the meticulous planning behind the project, stating, “The long-running decommissioning project has involved 10 years of planning and preparations in the lead-up to ARPANSA’s license approval.”
Since its shutdown in 2007, HIFAR has been maintained in a safe state, with ANSTO removing the reactor fuel, control arms, and heavy water within the first year of closure.
The project’s current phase involves dismantling only the internal infrastructure and radioactive components within the 21-meter-tall facility.
“The white exterior shell of HIFAR won’t be going anywhere soon. There are no plans to dismantle the exterior structure until much further down the track,” Wheeler said.
The “gun” compresses hydrogen gas, which smashes a piston through a metal seal. This fires a projectile at 4.3 miles (6.9 km) per second into a vacuum chamber, hitting a falling nuclear fusion fuel pellet.
Inspired by the pistol shrimp, the process produces the conditions required for nuclei to fuse together. First Light Fusion’s technology has passed several key tests, including breaking a pressure record last year.
Will this be a trend for the wider fusion industry?
Despite the potential of its relatively low-cost method, First Light Fusion has restrategized to drive revenue.
In a press statement, it explains that “advancements in First Light’s proprietary amplifier technology, combined with progress in the wider inertial fusion energy (IFE) sector, has provided an opportunity for the company to shift its business strategy, to capitalize on the huge IFE market opportunities enabling earlier revenues and lowering the long-term funding requirement.”
3,000-year-old silk weaving inspires China’s next-gen stealth radar-absorbing tech
The team believe this could be used to solve some of the long-term maintenance issues associated with stealth coatings.
Chinese researchers have allegedly found a novel way to solve long-term stealth coating integrity with an ancient silk-weaving technique called “jacquard weaving.” This method could, they claim, help solve issues with degradation of stealth coatings on aircraft in extreme environments like deserts or high humidity.
According to a paper released by the team, stealth fighters like the F-22 suffer from delaminating radar-absorbent coatings over time. This material is typically made of layers of special coatings and paints to deflect radar signals.
However, they can chip away when exposed to environmental stress or physical abrasion. This can even occur during high-speed flight, especially in desert sandstorms.
An ancient solution to a modern problem
Using a similar technique, Jiang and her colleagues embedded radar-defeating geometries directly into RAM textile’s matrix. Quartz fibers create a dielectric base layer, while stainless steel yarns form resonant circuits that dissipate electromagnetic energy as heat.
According to the researchers, each conductive thread is carefully arranged to guide and trap signals, similar to how ancient weavers positioned silk threads to depict dragons or clouds.
Lab tests showed remarkable mechanical advantages. The composite material was found to withstand a tensile stress of 93.5 megapascals in the longitudinal direction, which is more than ten times stronger than traditional coatings.
This durability comes from the knit’s anisotropic structure, where the load-bearing yarns align with the aircraft’s stress vectors, resembling the axial strength of Han-era brocades.
In 262 B.C, the Romans laid siege to Acragas, officially starting a war that would last twenty-one years. After taking the city, the Romans leveled it. Both armies were exhausted and unable to prepare for battle until the next year, but the Romans now realized that driving the Carthaginians out of Sicily was going to be more difficult than they anticipated. They also knew their success was in doubt without a navy, so the Senate approved he funds for construction of war ships.
Rome had no coastline (60 miles inland), no navy, no merchant marine, and no history of trade or knowledge of sailing practice in the Mediterranean, yet they went ahead and built 500 ships in 60 days!
Slavery was fundamental to the early Romans because Rome was an agrarian society, and there was always a need for farm labor. Not all Roman slaves were the defeated enemy: some were purchased at auction, others were freemen enslaved through their own misdeeds. Until 325 B.C, Roman citizens could be placed in servitude if they were unable to pay their debts.
It is estimated that Rome had 17,000 slaves in 475 B.C. and 40,000 by 325 B.C. Those numbers pale beside the 55,000 captured Carthaginians brought back from Africa at the end of the Third Punic War in 146 B.C. By then, slavery had become a significant problem for the Republic, as slaves took the jobs of freemen in the city, displaced them as farm labor, and began to serve in the army.
Roman Law and American Law
When the Roman Empire in the West collapsed in 476 A.D, the Empire in the East continued on. It survived for three reasons: the population was larger and more urbanized than the West, making it more difficult to invade, its government was located at the fortress of Constantinople, which was almost impregnable, and its leaders were better at running government than those in the West. Perhaps the greatest Eastern Emperor was Justinian, who ruled from 527-565 A.D. Well educated and inclined toward the structure of law, Justinian believed it was his mission to codify the law of the Roman Empire. He engaged the greatest legalists of his time to prepare the new code based on rationality, coherence, equity, and the furtherance of imperial power. This Roman Civil law, also called The Justinian Code, was completed in 534 A.D.
The Justinian Code swept through Europe, influencing the legal systems of every country with the exception of England. Ahead of Europe in legal thinking, Henry I and Henry II had modified the old Germanic legal system into a code of Common Law that was strong enough to withstand the influence of the new code. The Common Law system of England became the legal system of the United States after the Revolutionary War in all states except one. Louisiana adopted the Justinian Code, because the state's legal system was established during the time when the territory was under French rule.
Today most of the world uses The Justinian Code, with the exception of England and its former colonies.
The battle was a disaster because the shear volume of men in the Gallic force was more than the defenders could handle and the Roman position was easily flanked. Half of the army was killed and the survivors retreated to Veii, on the other side of the Tiber.
Now the city was defenseless and open to plunder. The Vestal Virgins and priests gathered up the sacred relics and fled to Caere, while the remnants of the senate and army retreated to the top of the Capitoline Hill, prepared to resist any Gallic attempt to storm the citadel. The Gauls entered the city, plundered it, and set it on fire. They seemed content to let those on the Capitoline starve, and only tried to attack it on a couple of occasions. For seven months they occupied the city.
Rome created its Republic when the last Etruscan king was expelled in 509 B.C. The king had relied on a group of men to advise him, called patres (fathers) -- later designated as the social class called Patrician. As the Republic began, the Fathers became the Senate, a people’s assembly was continued, and a pair of executive magistrates were created (Consuls). This system was weighted toward the aristocracy because the consuls were nominated by the Senate and were also in control of the judicial system.
Like Gaul, Rome began with a highly disproportionate distribution of wealth: the Patrician class in control and the Plebian class subservient. In 200 B.C, the adult male population of Rome was 270,000 and the value of all property about $ 3 billion. It’s easy to imagine the wealthiest 1% of the population controlling 50% or more of this wealth. Scipio Africanus, the great general, who died in 183 B.C, left an estate of $ 600,000. His relative by marriage Aemilianus Paulus left an estate of $ 250,000.
As time went on in the Republic, there arose two great forces impacting the distribution of wealth: booty from war and the emergence of the Equestrian class (Knights). The former tended to enrich the generals (Caesar, Pompey and others) and move them up the wealth ladder, while the Knights became rich through their own efforts. Since the ruling class was prohibited from trade because it was seen as a low profession, the Knights became the businessmen the state needed to make the Republic work. They formed their own corporations and engaged in tax collection and public works. Over time, the wealth accumulated by the Knights, lowered the percentage of wealth controlled by the ruling class.

This personal protector role expanded over time and Tribunes eventually acquired a powerful role in government. They were given the power to block legislation, call meetings of the Senate, or compel Consuls to comply with decrees of the Senate. In 286 B.C, the law Lex Hortensia was passed which gave the Plebian class, through its own assembly, the right to pass laws binding on all of Rome. Tribunes were elected by the Plebian Assembly and presided over its meetings.
But the aristocratic class came to regret what they had done in giving the lower class so much power, so they sought ways to influence the behavior of Tribunes on their behalf. By pressure or bribery, the rich began to induce the Tribunes to veto legislation they were opposed to. This problem came to a head during the Tribune of Tiberius Gracchus (133 B.C.) when he removed another Tribune from office for vetoing a land bill favored by the people but opposed by the Senate. Tiberius was later assassinated by the Senate for trying to accumulate power. This single event incited the Plebian class against the Senate, beginning the process of the decline of the Senate as an institution and the end of the Republic.
Bitcoin erases all of its gain that followed Trump's crypto reserve announcement
Bitcoin failed to recover the $85,000 level, where it traded before President Donald Trump's announcement of a U.S. crypto reserve sent it soaring.
The price of bitcoin failed to recover the $85,000 level – where it traded before President Donald Trump's announcement of a U.S. crypto reserve sent it soaring – after a sell-off driven by tariff concerns knocked it down.
Bitcoin was last lower by 2% on Tuesday at $83,508.78, according to Coin Metrics, and off its all-time high by 23%.
Ripple-related XRP and Cardano's ADA, two of the smaller cap coins mentioned in Trump's surprise announcement, were still holding onto some of their gains from the rally. Solana's SOL token also fully reversed its gain.

Bitcoin before and after Trump's crypto reserve announcement
Shares of Coinbase, Robinhood and Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, were all lower in premarket trading.
Risk assets including cryptocurrencies suffered steep declines on Monday as traders grappled with concerns that proposed tariffs were on track to take effect. That overshadowed the exuberance around Trump's so named U.S. "strategic crypto reserve," which some traders had hoped would pull bitcoin out of a slump. After reaching its record in January, it posted its worst month since 2022 in February.
Why automakers including Honda and Toyota are pouring millions into rockets and satellites
As cars are becoming more connected, automakers see access to space as an important investment.
In January, Toyota said its mobility software subsidiary "Woven by Toyota" was investing $44 million into Japanese rocket maker Interstellar Technologies. Rival Honda has been developing a proprietary reusable rocket since 2019 to launch low-earth orbit satellites to space. Chinese automaker Geely Holding Group, a Tesla competitor, has invested $326 million to manufacture its own satellites.
#toyota #honda #rockets #satellites #space
"What are those satellites going to be used for and what are they already being used for?" said Micah Walter-Range, president of consulting firm Caelus Partners. "Some of it is for improving navigation services for cars. Some of it's for mapping. If you think about what's going to be needed a little further down the road for autonomous vehicles, having full awareness of what's going on on the road is incredibly valuable."
Cars today use satellite connectivity for tracking and location, software updates and entertainment like satellite radio. But as cars become more and more connected, automakers need the infrastructure to make that possible. That's where satellites, and the rockets needed to launch them, come into play. One recent report estimates that by 2030, connected vehicles could be a $742 billion annual revenue opportunity for automakers and suppliers.

By the end of the year, they may achieve the status of the world's best coder. This success isn't isolated; if we apply the same trajectory to mathematics, we might soon have AI models recognized as the best mathematicians as well.
Redefining Genius and Bottlenecks
Part 4/5:
In this context, it becomes clear that traditional human genius will no longer serve as the bottleneck in research and technological development. AI's growing proficiency in math and coding highlights a critical shift in how we approach problem-solving within these domains. If the strongest minds we possess are now complemented, and potentially eclipsed, by AI, we must rethink the role that human researchers will play in the future of inquiry and innovation.
Conclusion
Part 5/5:
In summary, the impending advancements in AI technology promise to revolutionize the landscape of research. By producing a vast number of intelligent research entities capable of outperforming human specialists in key areas, we are set to enter an era where collaboration with AI will redefine progress.

The Current State of EV Sales: Debunking Myths and Insights
The narrative surrounding electric vehicle (EV) sales has often been steeped in misconceptions. Contrary to the belief that EV sales are collapsing globally, the conversation surrounding this topic reveals a more nuanced reality. In a recent discussion, Brian and his guest, Randy Kirk, explore the dynamics of the EV market, shedding light on the discrepancies in reported sales trends, particularly focusing on China’s burgeoning electric vehicle industry.
Positive Trends in EV Sales
BYD's Remarkable Growth
Part 2/11:
A significant highlight of the conversation is the impressive sales figures reported by BYD, a leading Chinese EV manufacturer. In February, BYD's exports soared by an astonishing 188%, with projections indicating nearly 4 million units sold annually. Notably, this growth occurred despite the absence of the Chinese New Year, which typically influences production schedules.
BYD aimed for monthly sales of around 500,000 units and appears well on its way to achieving that goal. Kirk emphasizes the company’s vertical integration and operational acumen, echoing a sentiment shared by industry experts like Sandy Monroe, who foresee BYD as a prominent player in the global EV market.
Other Key Players in the Market
Part 3/11:
Kirk and Brian also highlight the successes of other Chinese manufacturers, such as Lee Auto and Xiaopeng Motors, indicating that many companies are thriving despite the challenges faced by legacy automakers. For instance, Xiaopeng delivered over 30,000 vehicles for the fourth consecutive month, showcasing strong demand in a competitive market. The discussion hints that the upward trajectory of newer brands may reshape the future landscape of the automotive industry.
Understanding Chinese Success Factors
Part 4/11:
The conversation digs deeper into the unique aspects of the Chinese market that contribute to the success of homegrown EV manufacturers. Kirk points out that the Chinese government plays a crucial role in promoting EV sales, offering incentives and setting a clear direction towards electrification. This top-down approach differs significantly from the democratic processes seen in Western markets, allowing a focused push towards sustainable transportation initiatives.
Part 5/11:
Furthermore, there’s a cultural element at play. Consumers in China, particularly within the middle and upper classes, are not only technically savvy but also prioritize possessing the latest technology. This behavior is not merely transactional; owning a cutting-edge electric vehicle becomes a status symbol, further driving the demand for innovative automotive offerings.
A Contrast with Legacy Manufacturers
Part 6/11:
Despite the robust growth of Chinese manufacturers, legacy automakers in the U.S. face significant hurdles. The discussion notes that companies such as General Motors (GM) and Ford have reported increases in their battery electric vehicle (BEV) sales but still grapple with dwindling sales in traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. This shift indicates a broader transformation in consumer preferences, though it poses a challenge as these manufacturers balance the transition towards electrification with existing business models.
Part 7/11:
The comparative lack of vision among some legacy manufacturers, as noted in their strategic approaches, has been a point of contention. Kirk suggests that industry giants like Apple have struggled to penetrate the EV market due to a lack of visionary leadership and a rigid focus on profit margins, thus missing out on opportunities in a rapidly evolving space.
The Apple Dilemma in EV Manufacturing
Part 8/11:
Brian and Kirk diverge into examining Apple’s failed attempt to enter the EV market, citing their high expectations for margins and an overly cautious approach. The podcast emphasizes that while Apple invested significantly in development, the company lacked the agile operational model and adaptability shown by its Chinese counterparts, leading to an unsuccessful foray into electric automobiles.
This situation illuminates broader issues in tech-company approaches to automotive innovation, where sustainable practices and the nimbleness of companies like Xiaomi, who successfully transitioned from smartphones to EVs, provide critical lessons.
Profitability and Market Transparency
Part 9/11:
The duo also mentions a crucial factor: profitability in the EV sector may be challenged by limited transparency in Chinese markets. While many companies are starting to yield profits, the influence of government subsidies—both overt and covert—creates a complex environment for assessing true market viability.
As Kirk notes, the road to profitability can be fraught with obstacles, and the expectation that companies can achieve successful, sustainable operations may take longer in emerging markets. Companies that are currently thriving must navigate a fine line between government support and consumer demand in a rapidly shifting landscape.
Conclusion: The Road Ahead for EV Sales
Part 10/11:
Throughout the discussion, it becomes apparent that the narrative surrounding EV sales is far from straightforward. While rumors of a general collapse in sales are misplaced, the landscape is indeed changing, with emerging players making significant strides and legacy manufacturers adapting at varying paces.
As the EV market continues to evolve, both opportunity and concern will characterize the journey ahead. Understanding the factors driving success in China’s automotive sector, alongside the challenges faced by traditional automakers, will be crucial for stakeholders globally looking to navigate the future of electric mobility.
Part 11/11:
In this rapidly advancing field, one thing remains clear: the demand for electric vehicles is not faltering; rather, it is transforming, driven by innovation, consumer choice, and a global shift towards sustainability.
Waymo, Uber begin offering robotaxi rides in Austin ahead of SXSW
Austin will be Waymo's fourth market after San Francisco, Phoenix and Los Angeles.
The launch sets up Waymo to showcase its driverless technology during Austin's annual South by Southwest festival that kicks off Friday. Approximately 300,000 people descend on the Texas capital to attend SXSW on average each year, according to the Austin Convention & Visitors Bureau.
"We can't wait for Austin locals and visitors alike to experience Waymo One via the Uber app starting this week," said Nicole Gavel, Waymo's head of business development and strategic partnerships, in a statement.
Waymo previously said it would be launching in Austin, among several other U.S. cities, in 2025.
#waymo #uber #automotive #robotaxi #austin
Austin is the first market where Uber will manage and dispatch a fleet of Waymo vehicles. Riders in Phoenix can book Waymo rides through the Uber app, but the ride-sharing company does not manage the Waymo fleet in that market. The two companies' partnership will expand to Atlanta later this year, where Waymo employees have already begun taking fully autonomous trips across the city, the company said Tuesday.
Uber sold off its autonomous vehicle, or AV, unit in 2020 after a string of earlier safety incidents including one fatality. The two companies have not disclosed how they split revenue for Waymo rides booked through the Uber app.
Pro-Trump techies enraged by president's crypto reserve announcement, causing early rift
Some of President Trump's most vocal supporters in tech took to social media to slam his latest proposal for a crypto strategic reserve.
President Donald Trump counted on crypto execs and investors for a hefty portion of his 2024 campaign funds. He promised to reward them handsomely if elected by slashing regulations and by turning the U.S. into "the crypto capital of the planet and the bitcoin superpower of the world."
The president got off to a quick start, signing an executive order calling for the establishment of a working group on digital assets and pardoning Silk Road creator Ross Ulbricht. The SEC also dropped its years-long probe into Coinbase.
#crypto #president #reserve #techies
While those moves were lauded by the most vocal techies who backed Trump's candidacy, over the weekend the president took it a step too far in their view. In a post on Truth Social on Sunday, Trump announced the creation of a strategic crypto reserve for the U.S. that would include not just bitcoin but several other digital currencies — ether, XRP, Solana's SOL token and Cardano's ADA.
For the most part, Trump's crypto backers all wanted a strategic bitcoin reserve. Such a move would entail using cash to buy bitcoin, which is widely viewed by crypto enthusiasts as a smart way to deploy capital into a decentralized currency that's an alternative to hard money. As Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong wrote on X, bitcoin offers a "clear story as successor to gold."
Smartphone startup Nothing tries to stir market out of 'sea of sameness' with $400 phone
Nothing's new Phone (3a) features different shapes and so-called "Glyph" lights on the back that light up to preset ringtones and notification sound effects.
BARCELONA — British smartphone startup Nothing on Tuesday debuted a new handset it hopes can shake the mobile industry out of a perceived innovation slowdown.
Nothing launched its new Phone (3a) device, a budget phone that comes with an unusual design featuring multiple different shapes and so-called "Glyph" lights on the back that light up to preset ringtones and notification sound effects.
#smartphone #nothing #technology #communications
The Phone (3a) will retail at a starting price of £329 — or about $414 — while Phone (3a) Pro, a souped-up version of the device with better camera features, will start at £449.
The Nothing brand was founded in 2020 by Carl Pei, a co-founder of Chinese smartphone brand OnePlus, with the aim of bringing some "warmth" back to consumer tech products.
"In the past, people were so optimistic about technology. But now people are indifferent. And there must be a way of breaking the cycle," Pei told CNBC in an interview in 2021.
Pei's old company OnePlus gained something of a cult following in its early days, thanks to its focus on designing slick and affordable Android handsets and garnering buzz through unconventional marketing tactics.
Malaysia will take 'necessary action' if its companies are involved in Nvidia fraud case: Trade minister
Malaysian says its authorities are discussing the issue with the data center companies and checking if the chips have gone to the right parties.
Malaysia said it will take "necessary action" against Malaysian companies if they are found to be involved in a fraud case linked to the alleged movement of Nvidia chips from Singapore to China.
That comes after Singapore Law and Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam reportedly said on Monday that the servers in the fraud case may have contained Nvidia's artificial intelligence chips which were then sent to Malaysia.
On Feb. 27, Singapore charged three men with fraud, with local broadcaster CNA saying it understood the cases are linked to the alleged movement of Nvidia chips.
#malaysia #nvidia #fraud
"The question is whether Malaysia was a final destination or from Malaysia, it went to somewhere else, which we do not know for certain at this point," Shanmugam told reporters.
He said such servers are imported by data center companies such as Microsoft, AWS and Google.
Singapore's Shanmugam had said Nvidia's chips were embedded in servers supplied by Dell and Supermicro to Singapore-based companies, before they went to Malaysia. He added that "there may have been false representation on the final destination of the servers."

Huawei's Trifold Smartphone: A Bold yet Troubling Venture
Ever since the United States imposed sanctions on Huawei in 2019, the company has found its smartphones and electronic goods steadily losing traction in international markets. After a lengthy period of silence, Huawei is now gearing up for a new global strategy, launching products that it hopes will recapture consumer interest. The unveiling of the world’s first trifold smartphone, the Mate XT, on February 18, 2024, in Malaysia marked a significant move for Huawei, representing one of its largest international product launches since facing US sanctions.
Price vs. Performance: The Mate XT Dilemma
Part 2/10:
The Mate XT, priced at €3,500 (approximately 26,600 yen), is almost 3,000 yen more expensive than the domestic version with the same hardware specifications. However, while the international model features identical hardware, it does not run on Huawei’s Harmony OS. Instead, it uses EMUI 14.2, an operating system based on the Android open-source project tailored for international customers. This change results in notable shortcomings, as EMUI 14.2 lacks Google services, severely limiting app availability and functionality.
Part 3/10:
A Malaysian tech reviewer expressed frustration over the international version’s limited app offerings, highlighting a cumbersome process to install critical applications like banking apps. Given the steep price tag, many potential buyers find it hard to justify the Mate XT as a worthwhile investment, expressing concerns over its cost as impractical.
Criticism of Design and Usability
Part 4/10:
Aside from pricing, the device's innovative trifold design faces scrutiny. Critics note that while the device looks impressive when unfolded, it becomes unwieldy in its folded state, feeling heavy and cumbersome. International media coverage has largely underwhelmed, pointing out that the device does not cater well to consumer needs and fails to capture widespread recognition. For a product that generated much hype at launch, its shortcomings in practicality and usability are now front and center.
Sales Performance: A Disappointing Reality
Part 5/10:
Despite the initial excitement, market performance has been lackluster. Reports indicate that in 2024, the overall foldable smartphone market experienced a drastic decline, with Huawei's Mate XT falling short of sales expectations. Although Huawei led the foldable sector with a 51% market share in China, the Mate XT itself could not compete with older models, such as the dual-fold Mate X5, which continues to outperform it in sales. The Mate XT ranked fifth among foldables, with estimated sales of only 280,000 units— approximately one-tenth of its predecessor.
Ambitions for Global Expansion: Navigating Challenges
Part 6/10:
In the wake of its slow sales, Huawei is strategizing a new global comeback targeting 60 countries. Emerging markets, including Malaysia, Indonesia, and the UAE, have been identified as key areas where Huawei can improve its footing. These regions are influenced by price sensitivity and a reduced reliance on Google's ecosystem, making them attractive entry points for Huawei’s devices.
Part 7/10:
However, the lack of cutting-edge chips and Google software poses significant barriers to Huawei's global expansion. iIn developed markets such as Europe and North America, consumers have high expectations regarding hardware performance. The absence of Google services further diminishes appeal, as Google Mobile Services (GMS) are central to the Android experience, providing essential apps and cloud integration.
The Reckoning of Quality Control
Part 8/10:
Post-launch, the Mate XT has also been plagued with issues like quality concerns, which have been widely reported across social media platforms. Users have raised alarms about malfunctions, screen leaks, and other defects within weeks of purchase. Many have expressed dissatisfaction with Huawei's after-sale service, claiming their warranty did not cover repairs, adding to frustrations amongst potential buyers.
Moreover, repair costs are steep, ranging from thousands of yen for screen replacements to limited warranty options. Such financial burdens further discourage consumers from investing in the Mate XT, as the cost of maintaining the device can be prohibitive.
The Competitive Landscape and Future Uncertainty
Part 9/10:
As Huawei continues navigating the challenging tech landscape, its fate in the foldable smartphone market remains ambiguous. Compounding issues of sustainability and market volatility, the company finds itself at a crossroads. Furthermore, other competitors, such as Honor, are shifting their focus away from trifold designs, reflecting a broader hesitance in the industry towards the long-term viability of such products.
Experts suggest that Huawei's recent global strategies seem to be more about maintaining a brand presence rather than achieving meaningful sales growth. With its smartphone market share now at just 0.3% outside of China, these efforts may serve to bolster symbolic notions of resilience in the face of ongoing challenges rather than translating into substantial market gains.
Part 10/10:
Conclusion
In summary, while Huawei's Mate XT has introduced a novel innovation with its trifold design, its appeal is heavily overshadowed by practical usability issues, steep pricing, and quality control concerns. As the company attempts to reclaim international market presence, significant obstacles remain, particularly in relation to geopolitical tensions and competitive barriers. Future efforts will require careful navigation of not just consumer expectations but also the broader economic landscape in which Huawei operates.
NASA captures XB-1’s supersonic shockwave as it breaks the sound barrier
US company Boom Supersonic collaborated with NASA to obtain specialized photographs of the supersonic test.
An XB-1 aircraft’s shock waves created during a supersonic flight have been captured using specialized ground-based photography.
January saw XB-1 make history as the first privately developed civil supersonic aircraft to break the sound barrier in the United States.
On February 10th, it achieved another successful supersonic flight.
US company Boom Supersonic collaborated with NASA on the second flight to obtain specialized photographs of the supersonic test.
A ground-based NASA team used Schlieren photography to capture and visualize the shock waves created by XB-1’s supersonic flight.
#nasa #xb1 #supersonic #soundbarrier
NASA also gathered acoustic data from XB-1’s flight. Interestingly, the analysis showed that no sonic boom was audible on the ground during the supersonic flight.
“This image makes the invisible visible—the first American-made civil supersonic jet breaking the sound barrier. Thanks to Geppetto’s [pilot] exceptional flying and our partnership with NASA, we were able to capture this iconic image,” said Blake Scholl, Founder and CEO of Boom Supersonic.
“We also confirmed that XB-1 made no audible sonic boom, which paves the way for coast-to-coast flights up to 50% faster,” Scholl added.
Vortion: New magnetic state can mimic biological synapses, improve data storage
Researchers develop voltage-controlled ‘vortion’ for energy-efficient data storage, mimicking biological synapses for neuromorphic computing.
A ccording to estimates, 2.5 quintillion bytes of data is generated every day, indicating the need for highly efficient data storage solutions.
Researchers have now developed a voltage-controlled magnetic memory as an energy-efficient alternative. The research led by scientists from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) introduces a new magnetic state called a magneto-ionic vortex, or “vortion.”
#vortion #magneticstate #synapses #biology #datastorage
Modern data storage relies on magnetic materials to store data, with information encoded on the magnetic moments of the atoms in the material. Magnetic moments are like compass needles and can point in two directions, representing bits (0 or 1).
The magnetic moment direction is manipulated and read to store and retrieve data using electric currents. This generates a lot of heat, resulting in significant power loss.
The vortion addresses this problem by using voltage instead of current to control the magnetic moments.

Australia’s first nuclear reactor retires after powering science for 70 years
ANSTO begins decommissioning Australia’s historic HIFAR reactor, marking a milestone in nuclear history after nearly 70 years.
Australia’s Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) has embarked on a major decommissioning project for the country’s first nuclear research reactor.
Located at Lucas Heights, HIFAR was opened back in 1958 by Australian Prime Minister Sir Robert Menzies. It remained operational for nearly 50 years before being replaced by ANSTO’s current research reactor, OPAL, in 2007.
The commencement of the decommissioning project follows a license issued in late 2024 by the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) for the initial stages of dismantling.
#nuclear #reactor #closure #energy #australia
ANSTO CEO Shaun Jenkinson reflected on the significance of HIFAR, stating, “Australia’s nuclear age was formally ushered in with the commissioning of HIFAR, which has remained an iconic landmark on ANSTO’s campus.”
“The distinctive white circular steel frame of the HIFAR facility has been a prominent fixture of Lucas Heights and across the valley here in southern Sydney for nearly 70 years,” he added.
Decommissioning nuclear reactor
The decommissioning of HIFAR is a complex, multi-stage process that will be carried out in line with international best practices.
ANSTO’s extensive experience in radiation protection, safety, and engineering will play a crucial role in ensuring safe and efficient decommissioning.
UK nuclear fusion gun startup pivots to space tech after ditching reactor plans
First Light Fusion’s strategy shift creates a “capital-light, high-margin business that will generate revenue from this year.”
Oxfordshire-based startup First Light Fusion has announced a big shift in its nuclear gun strategy. The company will no longer develop a proposed ignition demonstration plant called Machine 4.
Instead, it aims to commercialize its technology for various applications within the defense and space sectors.
In 2022, the company announced its prototype, the Big Friendly Gun (BFG). This technology would allow it to achieve nuclear fusion without relying on lasers and powerful magnets.
#uk #nuclear #fusion #gun #spacetech #reactor
First Light Fusion’s nuclear fusion ‘gun’
First Light Fusion claims it has shifted its strategy to start making revenue as soon as this year. Nuclear fusion famously has the potential to alter the energy landscape completely. The method produces power using the same method as the Sun and the stars.
Fusion occurs when two atoms slam together to form a heavier nucleus, releasing vast amounts of energy.
However, fusion companies require much investment to make incremental steps towards this ultimate goal. They also rely on the promise of fusion becoming a reality in the not-too-distant future.
First Light Fusion claims its pistol shrimp-inspired technology could cut costs by removing the need for powerful magnets required to control the fiery plasma for the nuclear fusion process. The company’s Big Friendly Gun (BFG) is a massive £1.1 million ($1.27 million) steel gun that fires a high-velocity piston with 6.6 lbs of gunpowder.

The Parametrization of Crypto Economic Systems: Understanding Claro's
William George, a researcher with the Claro's Cooperative, recently presented a deep dive into the methodology of parameterizing crypto economic systems, particularly focusing on the workings of Claro's, a blockchain-based dispute resolution platform. His discussion illuminated the principles guiding the platform's design, the practical challenges faced in selecting parameters, and the philosophical considerations driving these decisions.
Introduction to Claro's
Part 2/9:
Claro's simplifies the process of dispute resolution by utilizing blockchain technology to manage contracts and ensure impartiality through crowd-sourced adjudication. In typical scenarios involving two parties—such as Alice, a small business owner, and Bob, a freelancer—when disputes arise, instead of relying on traditional contractual enforcement, they can opt for Claro's. Alice puts payment into an escrow managed by a smart contract. Should a conflict arise, a group of randomly selected users acts as jurors to make a decision based on game theory principles, particularly the concept known as a "Schelling point." This idea, formulated by economist Thomas Schelling, posits that in situations devoid of communication, individuals will tend to gravitate towards solutions perceived as natural or obvious.
Part 3/9:
Choosing Parameters
Choosing the right parameters is critical in ensuring that the Claro's system functions effectively. There are several key parameters to consider:
Juror Compensation – The fee paid to jurors for their services.
Stake System – Jurors may be required to put up a stake that could be forfeited if they fail to align with community consensus.
Appeal Protocols – Parameters such as how many times a decision can be appealed, how long to submit evidence, and voting periods.
The parameterization process often involves community engagement through discussions and voting within forums, where various parameters are proposed, debated, and adjusted based on feedback.
Attack Resistance
Part 4/9:
Central to the governance of the Claro's platform is the issue of attack resistance. The governance model aims to prevent any single participant from controlling more than 50% of the token allocation in voting. This is crucial to avert malicious manipulations of parameters that could undermine system integrity. The alignment of governance attack resistance with the core dispute resolution game is noteworthy; both systems are protected by the same security assumptions about token distribution.
Governance Minimization
Part 5/9:
George proposes a philosophical approach known as governance minimization. The idea suggests that if possible, parameters should not exist at all, as managing their dynamic regulation poses the risk of malicious interference. Alternatives such as deploying new contracts for different parameter values may offer some flexibility, but such fragmentation can create vulnerabilities to 51% attacks, thereby weakening the system's resilience.
Market-Derived Parameters
Part 6/9:
An inclination towards free market dynamics raises questions about the efficiency and integrity of parameter adjustments. George discusses models where juror fees could auto-adjust based on market dynamics. However, potential pitfalls exist, such as incentivizing dishonest jurors to underbid to gain unfair advantages in disputes. Instead, a better solution could involve parties setting price thresholds that ensure a broad selection of juror expertise while safeguarding against malicious underbidding.
Tools for Parameterization
In his research, George highlights several tools for effective parameterization:
Part 7/9:
Calculators – These tools can help establish a framework where jurors are encouraged to participate honestly. They can input various factors such as expected pay, effort, and success rates to ascertain a set of parameters that ensure economic sustainability for honest jurors.
Agent-Based Modeling – This method simulates user personas to better understand potential outcomes under varying parameter conditions. It offers insights into how economic conditions might affect juror behavior, identifying potential feedback loops in the system.
Conclusion
Part 8/9:
The quest for effective parameterization within crypto economic systems like Claro's is a complex interplay of incentives, choices, and community dynamics. Success lies not only in establishing robust systems for adjudication but also in cultivating a framework that minimizes governance while remaining resilient to attacks. Utilizing practical tools such as parameter calculators and agent-based models can help navigate these complexities, ensuring that systems deliver fair and efficient dispute resolution.
Part 9/9:
This exploration ultimately reflects the broader ambitions and challenges faced by decentralized platforms in an ever-evolving digital economy, reminding stakeholders of the importance of striking a balance between flexibility and security to foster trust and functionality in blockchain technologies.
