The Coldcard incident through the lens of a security researcher.
“Don’t trust, verify.”
But how many of us actually verify the software we depend on every day? At what point does “verify” become trusting someone else’s verification? And if so, who are we really trusting?

My plan for this year was to experiment with a cold card
Id waited ages because I always through it was too advanced or hardcore for me
I doubt I would’ve done the dice rolling because coinkite h...
Nobody found it cause nobody was incentivised to do so. This post captures it well from a researcher’s perspective:

But yeah, seems paranoid mode becomes the “by default” mode.
I feel bad for the people who had their BTC stolen. And as a Coinkite customer (who luckily was paranoid) and security researcher I’m disappointed in Coinkite.

Travelling for work in the US, running into constant issues with debit/credit cards and being able to pay for things or withdraw money at an ATM.. Bought a gift card via Bitrefill with bitcoin turned out to be the easiest way.

V weird uber interaction last night. Still lingering on it a bit this morning.
Me: “Can I put the window down? Super hot today.”
“Of course. where are you from?”

Some people are born self-made victims.
Nobody should be held responsible for the harm their ancestors inflicted.
They should grow up and move on already.

Tell me about how you've used AI to enhance your work or life. What tools you've found useful vs cumbersome, where you've streamlined things, and how dependent you are on cloud infrastructure vs local...
Security research.
Though I’d be interested in your take on using Hermes (by nous research) in a more private way.
Local models seem to have the caveat of not being as efficient as via API calls.

What do you do when you feel like the world is crashing on you? Please give some advise someone could see it and it can restore their faith. 🙏
Define the problem, then define your solution. Build a clear map to the solution. Accept that it will challenge you. But with a clear goal in mind, you’ll figure out how to overcome those challenges too.

There is hope for nerds in the future
Has anyone ever built a cyber deck? How did you build it? What software did you run? What did you use it for?

It’s like I told my colleague.. “AI will replace SOME of us..”
To any intelligent being, there is no emotion more important than hope. Individually or collectively, we must hope that the future will be better than the past, that our offspring, and theirs after them, will be a bit closer to an ideal society, whatever our perception of that might be.
Hope is key. The future will be better than the past, or the present. Without this belief, there is only the self-indulgent, ultimately empty striving of the present.
