La omisión del diario estadounidense deja abierta la posibilidad de especular. Y eso hizo alguien en EFE. Y a partir de ahí docenas de medios de comunicación -serios y no tan serios- copiaron y pegaron la versión de EFE

The feud between Trump’s close allies is part of a long-running battle among the MAGA crowd for a share of the spoils in Venezuela, whose resource riches are now effectively under American control.

UPDATE: I can confirm that the Ledger supply chain is compromised in Europe as well. @Ledger should initiate an immediate product recall to protect users.
I just purchased a second device from a different Mediamarkt location today, recorded the unboxing process, and discovered spyware once again (video linked in the second tweet).
The device was compromised in the exact same manner, featuring identical modifications (such as additional cables and an LTE module). This indicates its a widespread issue rather than an isolated incident, potentially affecting Ledger inventory across MediaMarkt and Saturn stores throughout Europe (comprising over 1,000 stores across 11 countries).
My initial hypothesis was that these devices were returns that looked unopened to the employees and were just sold again as new however, a MediaMarkt employee confirmed that the device I purchased was not a return, and that returned Ledgers are sent directly back to the manufacturer rather than resold.
Store records show the inventory originated from Aqipa GmbH. While Ledger's CTO was unsure if Aqipa serves as the direct distributor between Ledger and MediaMarkt, it appears to be the case. Given that Aqipa distributes across Europe, any physical retail store receiving stock through them may be at risk.
I sent the first ledger to mark and the second one is going to ledger now, so that they can analyse it.
If you purchased a ledger from anyone other than the official ledger store, make sure to check your device!!

.@drakefjustin's claims about the rapid advance of AI possibly breaking ECDSA and stealing all of our crypto has stirred up a lot of FUD.
But let's ask ourselves, if it happens tomorrow, how do i protect myself?
one way is a 1-of-1 safe multisig that rotates a hot signer every trx

Estamos ante crímenes de Estado de un nivel de violencia atroz en un entorno que aún representa un riesgo para las víctimas, los defensores y los que trabajan para que no haya olvido ni impunidad, porque no hay cambios reales en el aparato represivo.

Baker Hughes has not yet committed to build a liquid natural gas (LNG) export terminal in Venezuela, nor has it announced a final investment decision or a specific capital commitment.
What it signed with PDVSA, Lindsayca and Fulcrum LNG is a strategic alliance that @bakerhughesco itself describes as a “cooperation framework.” Specific projects would still require separate definitive agreements and internal approvals.
With that being said, the announcement does show is that Baker Hughes sees considerable commercial potential across Venezuela’s gas value chain. This is a good sign for the country.
It is also worth noting that the alliance prioritizes increasing gas supply for domestic power generation, directly addressing one of the main constraints on Venezuela’s electricity system.
🇻🇪 Baker Hughes is betting Venezuela's stranded gas can become LNG.
The oilfield services company has signed a strategic alliance with 🇻🇪PDVSA, Lindsayca and Fulcrum LNG covering the whole gas chain, from production and processing to pipelines and possible LNG exports.
It has also signed an MoU with New Stratus Energy for oil and gas development.
Venezuela has about 5,500 bcm of proven gas reserves, the world's 7th-largest.
It produces only about 24 bcm a year.
About 80% of that is associated gas, which comes out as a by-product of oil wells whether there's a buyer or not.
Without pipelines and processing, much of it is flared or reinjected.
Meanwhile the country suffers regular blackouts.
So the near-term money is in fixing the domestic grid, and the alliance starts there.
The first phase targets PDVSA's own gas needs and fuel for power generation.
LNG comes later.
The export route already exists next door....
🇹🇹Trinidad's Atlantic LNG plant has spare capacity because its own gas fields are declining.
Venezuela's Dragon field sits about 9 miles from Trinidad's offshore platforms.
Piping Venezuelan gas into existing Trinidad trains is much faster and cheaper than building a new plant in Venezuela.
With Washington now overseeing Venezuela's oil, would Venezuelan gas become another US-controlled source of supply?

Reflexiones de domingo acerca de la IA
1- Una bomba es infinitamente mas peligrosa que la IA, la diferencia es que detonar una bomba es mucho mas caro y complejo que tirar un prompt
2- Lo peligroso de la IA no es el texto que produce XX modelo, sino lo barato y simple que es usarla y escalarla con miles de agentes con un mismo objetivo 24x7
3- Lo que hace efectiva a la IA hoy no son los LLMs e si, sino la orquestacion de LLMs y bucles de resolucion de objetivos + tools + conectores a data etc
4- El aporte marginal de "calidad" de los modelos en si se esta amesetando claramente, y cada dia cuesta mas caro mejorar marginalmente los modelos. Opus 4.8 es igual de potente que Astra o Fable, incluso q los modelos abiertos como deepseek 4.1
5- Anthropic y OpenAi apostaron a que su diferencial que les de moat sea el modelo y le pifiaron y ya es demasiado tarde para asumir el error y hay trillions en juego lamentablemente apostando a eso
6- El open source avanza rapido y no se va a detener nunca, y los nodos de clusters de IA son relativamente faciles de montar, por mas que todos los gobiernos del mundo se pongan de acuerdo en regular el avance de la IA, simplemente no podrian hacerlo
Asi como no se puede apagar bitcoin, no se puede detener el avance de millones de agentes de IA por ahi
7- Anthropic y Openai queman mucha guita entrenando y sirviendo modelos enormes para sostenerse primeros, pero cada vez les es mas complejo conseguir inversores privados, tarde o temprano tendran que salir a buscar liquidez en la bolsa
8- Si Anthropic sale a bolsa y en vez de 2T (como esperan los inversores) el mercado les convalida 100B, seria un caos no solo por anthropic, sino porq el mercado empezaria a pricear en toda la cadena del token para atras precios muchisimo mas bajos de todo
9- Si ademas de anthropic saliera al mismo tiempo Openai, seria aun peor, porq competirian por la misma liquidez y encima se retroalimentarian los miedos por ambas al ver sus S-1 totalmente en rojo y ningun plan de como dar vuelta eso contra modelos abiertos cada vez mejores a 1/40 del precio
10- El unico player con espalda infinita para sostener esto financieramente y posponer o estirar el desenlace, es el gob de eeuu y con toda la narrativa de la seguridad tienen la excusa perfecta para kirchnerizar el mercado de la IA..
Para el tesoro poner 100B por año en contratos a empresas de IA que ellos eligen a dedo por razones de "seguridad" y salvarles el rojo, no es nada contra el riesgo de no hacerlo, no riesgo de seguridad, sino de crisis financiera claro esta
11- Martines Cuarta es un perro, el resto impecable el equipo, cada dia mejor thiaguito almada

Esto no se hace.
Cobrar USD 149 a un venezolano angustiado por su proceso de asilo por un informe que dice que aparece en Maisanta, presentándolo como algo “para tu expediente”, me parece profundamente irresponsable.
El propio sitio reconoce que el documento NO es oficial, NO constituye por sí solo prueba de persecución y NO garantiza ningún resultado en un proceso de asilo.
Y ese es precisamente el problema.
Maisanta fue utilizada para identificar y discriminar políticamente a venezolanos, pero, aparecer en una base con millones de registros no demuestra que TÚ hayas sido perseguido ni que hoy enfrentes un riesgo individual.
Puede tener algún valor corroborativo si ya existe un caso sólido detrás, pero, también puede terminar teniendo un valor probatorio mínimo o incluso nulo para tu expediente.
Arriba te venden:
“Informe técnico para expedientes de asilo”
“Un informe para tu expediente”
“Listo para presentar”
USD 149.
Y solo después encuentras las limitaciones importantes que NO es un documento oficial, que NO prueba por sí solo persecución política y que NO garantiza absolutamente ningún resultado en tu proceso de asilo.
Con la angustia de la gente no se juega.

Dario has written that we need to “pace the frontier,” and Sam has agreed. People may be surprised by my response: go ahead.
You guys are the frontier. By any reasonable metric — market share, revenue growth, model capability — the two of you have a duopoly on frontier intelligence. You’ve also claimed the lead is widening because of recursive self-improvement.
I don’t see what you see in the lab. If the unreleased models are scary enough that you think you should slow down, I support your decision to be responsible.
But stop pretending you need anyone else’s permission. Stop pretending antitrust law has to be suspended so you can form a cartel. Stop pretending you need a regulatory approval process that supersedes product liability. Stop pretending METR is independent when it is intertwined with Anthropic’s investors and staff. Stop pretending you need those same evaluators to police competitors who aren’t even at the frontier.
Most of all, stop pretending the motivation to slow down is purely altruistic. You face massive product-liability exposure if your products enable a truly damaging cyberattack. The market already punishes models that behave in unpredictable or unauthorized ways. After the Hugging Face episode, it is simply good business for OpenAI and Anthropic to trade some raw power for reliability and predictability. Call it alignment if you want. It is also just giving customers what they want.
Pacing the frontier would also create breathing room for a more intelligent conversation about regulation than Bernie Sanders’ “shut it all down.” China is very unlikely to join a global agreement, as you know, and that has to be taken into account as well.
So go ahead and pace the frontier. You are the ones setting it. The easiest way not to build superintelligence is for you to agree not to build it. Demanding your preferred regulatory framework as the price of that will look like blackmail of the public and the political system. So just do it.
If you do, you’ll buy goodwill for the next conversation. If you don’t, we’ll know this was just another bid for regulatory capture — or an election-season psyop.

1/ Tomorrow it's been a month since we shut down @lnp2pBot. I finished the forensics and I don't love what I found. The bug they used wasn't in our code. It was in a dependency. And the fix had been out for 3 days already.
2/ The library is `invoices`, the BOLT11 parser half the Lightning JS ecosystem depends on. If a payment request had the payment hash twice, the parser kept the last one. The node uses the first one. Same string, two parts of the same system, two different IDs.
3/ In plain terms: the attacker sent us an invoice our bot and our node read differently, and got paid twice for the same thing. The bot was tracking one payment. The node had settled another. Every round they ran, we ate the difference.
4/ That line had been there for 2,381 days. It went in with the very first commit of the repo, back in January 2020. There was never a version of the library without it.
5/ It got fixed on August 7, and it was pushed down to `lightning` and `ln-service` the same day. I want to say that up front, because it's true and it matters: the fix itself was fast and handled well.
6/ What went wrong was the announcement. Here is the entire changelog entry for that release:
"Breaking Changes , Node.js version 22 or higher is now required"
Not a word about the payment hash. No advisory. No CVE.
7/ Now put yourself downstream. A major version lands and it wants you to go from Node 20 to Node 22. You read that as chores. You put it on the list for when things calm down. The only signal you had was pushing you to wait.
8/ This is the part I want to change, and it isn't about one person: a security fix can't ride along inside a breaking infra change. It has to say so out loud. An advisory, a line in the changelog, a ping to the people who depend on you.
9/ Without that, reading changelogs doesn't save you. We had no way to know we were supposed to run. We found out 3 days late, with the bot already closed and the losses on us.
10/ What we're building on Mostro now: event-driven watching on the dependencies that matter. New version drops, an agent diffs it right then, and answers one question, does this quietly fix something security related?
Against a 3 day window, a weekly check has already lost.
11/ A month later I'm still going through it. Full story at @LaBitconf.
