Bitcoin is literally actively detrimental to humankind without privacy. It is A BAD THING FOR THE WORLD.
Privacy is too fucking important to treat as a LARP, or a funding grift, or a game. Every single privacy project in the history of this space has been one or all of the above.

中国社区逆向拆解了Claude的封号机制。以下是他们的发现
Claude使用积分制。注册时账号获得初始分数，之后根据行为加分或扣分。低于阈值直接封号。回分很难
影响分数的因素:
注册
> 干净IP是最重要的因素。不一定要家宽，但必须干净
> Gmail已经不是最优选，有权重更高的邮箱服务
> 注册时直接弹KYC的号可以扔了
> 用手机App注册会加分
支付
> 刚注册就订阅会扣分
> 直接上Max会大幅扣分。最好等两天先订Pro
> 支付时弹KYC说明账号在考察期，但不一定会封
> 国外实体银行卡加分。Google Play也行。虚拟卡扣分
使用
> 不要一次把限额用完。宁可两个号轮换也不要一个号撸到底
> Desktop客户端有少量加分。尽量少用网页端
> 手机端也有少量加分
> 开启记忆功能加分。记忆文件越多分越高
IP和设备
> 稳定性是关键。不要跳IP，尽量一直用同一个
> 代理必须全局模式并开启TUN
> 多设备登录大幅扣分。理想状态是一台电脑一个客户端
> 频繁换IP、频繁登录、高并发都会大幅扣分
账号年龄
> 老号有巨大的容错空间。2023年的号明显更高
> 分数随时间增长，但很慢
其他
> Windows和macOS没区别。Linux会扣分
> 时区和语言基本不影响。不会因为北京时间就封号
> 跟Claude说自己是中国人没问题，记忆不会触发封号
> 大量使用Fable会扣分
> 升级Max大概率进入观察期，除非是高权重老号
观察期和封号
> 接近阈值时账号可能进入观察期。典型特征是掉登录
> 观察期继续扣分就会封号
> 高分号可以扛过多次观察期

Throwback to when Google announced end-to-end encryption features for Gmail after the Snowden revelations and then quietly abandoned the project 3 years later to make sure they could "provide added value" by scanning everyone's emails.

Your TV should weigh 100 pounds, make a high frequency sound only your dog can hear, take thirty seconds to warm up, and leave a lingering bright dot in the center when you turn it off.

Jason Furman on AI vs human economists: If he were running the CEA today and had a choice between 20 highly qualified staff members “versus the AI systems that we have today, I would somewhat regretfully and sadly choose the AI systems.” axios.com/2026/10/23/ai-econ…
Sometimes I miss the the 0.3 BTC I lost in the ColdCard hack and wonder if it ever made it to a good home
Hopefully letting AI direct more scientific research won't result in science getting manipulated for nefarious purposes
I'm not really a goldbug, but it's absurd to paint this as portending the end of gold's supply scarcity anytime soon.
I'm still waiting for commercial fusion (first proposed as early as the 1940s)
Last month, we demonstrated high-rate alchemy: turning mercury into real, stable gold, beating CERN’s record by a factor of 10.
Last week, we enriched isotopes in the world’s most powerful plasma centrifuge, beating the Soviet record that stood for 40 years.
Now, we’re building a fusion reactor in San Francisco to achieve record power density.
Wayback Machine was also extremely important in patent litigation. If I wanted to invalidate a patent by showing that the claimed invention already existed before the patent's effective filing date, Wayback Machine would sometimes save the day.
The founder of the Internet Archive explaining why their work is critical and news companies are wrong to fight against them.
- Journalists rely on the Wayback Machine. It preserves histories so when people try to cover things up by changing a website, those histories are available
- Pew found over a 10 year period, a FOURTH of websites they tracked disappeared. That's histories and knowledge lost, without Wayback.
- I didn't realize, but IA isn't a fan of scraping for building AI, and the piece gets into why. I don't exactly agree, but it also makes sense why their tool is built more for human use for capacity reasons.
But this is another good example of news orgs fighting the same tools their journalists use religiously

The fact that it's late 2026, AI is hacking the world, and Apple is continuing to maintain an easily avoidable obstacle to software supply-chain verification on a platform of global security importance tells you everything you need to know about security culture in Big Tech.
