TIL that the next generation image format, JPEG XL, is partly based on pre-Bitcoin work by Pieter Wuille (specifically, it's partly based on FLIF, which Wuille co-developed).

You can just ignore idiots.
Thank you for repeating this advice occasionally. I needed the reminder today.
Today we’re publishing Brink's 2025 Engineering Impact Report covering the work of the eight Bitcoin Core engineers we funded last year and why we think this work is important.

When I was younger I read widely but was very much into Tom Clancy, Matthew Reilly et al.. stories that were real or realistic(-ish).
Not much sci-fi or high fantasy (although I smashed Harry Potter...
Rather than a book, I suggest looking for a sci-fi and fantasy book club in your local area. The local club where I live is excellent.

another pod trying to nerd snipe me into openclaw. although i agree with most stuff discussed in this pod, im just not ready. not today.
today i went deep with opencode web and now i just want a pro...
Haven't heard the pod but I tried OpenClaw and was pretty disappointed. It wasn't that useful without giving it access to all my data and accounts, and I didn't want to do that for privacy, security, and trust reasons. I'm also sticking with my desktop ai tool for now and accessing it from my phone to poke projects along (I'm using tailscale, mosh, and tmux for that).

Who is using Goose? What are you using it for?
Been using it for six months as my main ai tool. Top uses have been for research for articles, website customization, and hobby programing. Probably 10 hrs a week, about $300 in OpenRouter credits a month.
I've looked at several alternatives and seriously tried one but none of them so far have been better for me.
