Last Notes npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Artificial intelligence has advanced to the point where it is solving mathematical problems that humans have spent their entire lives trying to solve. Pause and ponder the significance of that. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Abstraction in the technology stack is a double-edged sword. It lets you adopt powerful tools and benefit from their capabilities almost instantly. But relying on abstractions without understanding the underlying systems creates dependency and increases the risk of exploitation. As Al becomes foundational infrastructure, engineers and technicians who understand the Al stack at a fundamental level will become increasingly valuable to organizations that want to remain secure, competitive, and relevant. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy As organizations race to adopt AI, many will build critical systems on technologies they don’t fully understand or control. If the underlying infrastructure contains vulnerabilities or even intentional backdoors, the entire stack becomes a potential attack surface. https://blossom.primal.net/507d2c485391186c9d82e523f29001f2523ef16d0425e671d87ca074238134d8.jpg npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Throughout history, those with superior capability have extracted value from those without it. At the highest levels of power, morals and ethics tend to yield once real asymmetry appears. The Coldcard attack was not crude or opportunistic. It was a calculated, offline operation that turned a subtle five-year-old entropy failure into a systematic sweep likely accelerated by AI tools capable of finding what human review missed. Stay vigilant, Plebs. The Cold world still wants what you have. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Journal Entry 2026/08/02 My brain is wired differently to the common man. I cannot remember names, dates and are terrible at directions. But I have this odd ability to understand how things function. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy The Simpsons Season four, episode seventeen “Last Exit to Springfield.” https://blossom.primal.net/9d82e56e520f1bfe1941df61e24200c3b658b759a10ad1409d89be29d5321e11.mp4 npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy It’s mind-blowingly frightening to imagine that the Coldcard incident may have been the work of a single agentic AI or a coordinated team of AI agents. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Sorry for your loss Gigi🥀 npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Open Source Intelligence ✅ Open Source Economics ✅ Open Source Networks ✅ Existing power structures were built for a world that no longer exists. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Bitcoin is now 59.4% sustainably powered Higher than any reported global industry Up 7.0% since last Cambridge survey 14 months ago Largest power source: hydro Source: Cambridge 2026 Reported by Daniel Batten https://blossom.primal.net/8c58f47a2fc1eecf4b5e674c52fce9e057ea1b652803383a262cc0f6e42b7b20.png npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy ‘Simulations provide training data and enable counterfactual reasoning that would be impractical, unsafe, or impossible to obtain in the real world. As a result, simulation plays a critical role in training modern robotic systems.’ Dr Fei-Fei discussing Spatial Intelligence and Robotics on the a16z show npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy “Putting power in people’s hands to pursue their own aspirations is how humanity has made the most progress. Novel ideas and major steps forward rarely originate from established institutions alone. They came from the brothers in a bicycle shop who believed people could fly, the bookbinder’s apprentice with no schooling who figured out how to generate electricity, and the kid in a garage who thought personal computers could be for everyone. We believe this will continue to be true. As everyone gains more powerful tools, each person will become more capable of shaping the future, not less.” - Mark.Zuckerberg, The AI Future Is For Everyone npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy https://blossom.primal.net/99a0ed219257c6797b196b56fb114e7a6a4cf3fb0129ac9e9382dd879a16b834.jpg npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Journal Entry 2026/07/29 Every day, the same thought crosses my mind: what would be possible if I devoted myself completely to understanding Deep Neural Networks? To leave behind the noise. To eliminate distractions. To pursue curiosity with discipline and single-minded focus. Whatever is guiding me seems to be pulling me in that direction. 🙏 npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy The world becomes a magical place when you begin to understand the hidden mechanisms behind the everyday tools you use. What once seemed ordinary transforms into a source of endless curiosity and wonder. https://blossom.primal.net/a5b316dc310bf9967e786bbb14c1f2e64691d90a42b7aa87d035bbf40f99661a.jpg npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy https://blossom.primal.net/b6335354446fe2d9fbfc3477265c7a3a2e73f1c176a43dd0b7377de85a75ddeb.jpg npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Yes 🫵 npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy F*ck approval! The mission has always been the continual development and decentralization of freedom, justice, liberty, and truth. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy The longer a scientific or mathematical experiment runs, the greater the opportunity for emergent phenomena and previously unknown behaviors to reveal themselves. Time is an amplifier of complexity. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Open-source technology is extraordinarily powerful and resilient. Once released to the public, anyone can study it, improve it, fork it, and distribute it. That makes it incredibly difficult & often practically impossible to truly shut down. Ideas can be restricted. Infrastructure can be targeted. But open source has a remarkable ability to persist because it is decentralized across countless people and machines. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy ‘AI regulation often feels backwards. We’re trying to comprehensively regulate a technology whose full capabilities, risks, and opportunities we still don’t understand. Cars weren’t designed by committee. They evolved through decades of messy experimentation and failure because regulators didn’t try to freeze the technology before it existed. Regulation should follow evidence, not try to outrun innovation.’ Thoughts inspired by Steven Sinofsky on the a16z show. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy “We are not the authors of reality.

Volatility is visible movement. Fragility is the inability to survive movement. A system can move violently and remain incredibly strong. Another can appear perfectly calm while becoming easier and easier to break. Volatility is simply information made visible.” @nprofile…fd3k npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy ‘Modern society has become addicted to the edited version of reality. Processed food, photoshopped bodies, curated social media lives and surfaces optimized to appear flawless. Intervention isn’t inherently bad, but we shouldn’t mistake a polished appearance for genuine health or resilience. Systems that never experience consequences never learn how to adapt. Suppressing volatility doesn’t eliminate risk. It simply hides it.’ Thoughts inspired by a piece titled ‘The Last Honest Market’ by @npub1cn4…3vle npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy The moon hanging there in the crisp clear blue sky🫶 https://blossom.primal.net/1166f94fcc5130980879b93ae7154c56d965a277e94054b84ed042c504662657.jpg npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy ‘Cycles of political (r)evolution according to Polybius' Anacyclosis (160 BCE)’ Posted by 𝕏 account Massimo https://blossom.primal.net/d07e1b07ca22236f18a01b7c36c8a9181e6b590492eda80ecd2d8141d4815252.jpg npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy https://blossom.primal.net/d2ae18f0477df3f0926056f188f3ef67aa9d6bb29b00bc0f1829add024b06930.jpg npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy “Everybody loves progress.

It touches economics, cryptography, history, philosophy, game theory, and distributed systems—all at once. Someone who can lock onto multiple interests might see how those threads weave together, recognizing not just systems but a system for human coordination without gatekeepers.‘ npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy So much pain, for so long. The damage feels beyond repair. Yet somewhere beneath it all, my survival instinct quietly adapted. Over time, it built a coping mechanism that gradually hardened, until it calcified into acceptance of who and what I have become. https://blossom.primal.net/7848de27880de5e34379940e20efe045d24e682c1cdf5ce920984ec3076ab9c6.jpg npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy The world keeps reinventing its tools, but not its deepest truths. If you want to understand the future, begin with the wisdom preserved in old books. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy A universal, fractal truth expressed through mathematics: Markov chains suggest that the future is determined not by the entire path that brought you here, but by the state you occupy now. Life often works the same way. Your daily habits compound. Small actions, repeated consistently, quietly shape the person you will become five years from now. Once you enter a new state, the past begins to lose its power. What matters most is what you do from here. The present is the state from which every possible future unfolds. https://blossom.primal.net/c57fe6f77d0dd94182a6c3d22d21dfba1f820e8b9f900a5cb5d2a14955292e87.jpg npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy The Divine Radiance ❤️ https://blossom.primal.net/6d0e639fd0e5e56ef31c7b7c36ce6ee83de1403ec63245d3f89deba9a2a3e6d8.jpg npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Philosophy and ethics are foundational to a higher level of being when engaging with Technology. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy The frontier is forever expanding. Computational tools continue to improve, and with every breakthrough, the ceiling for human potential and possibility rises even higher. The internet is redefining our relationship with space, energy, time, and intelligence. We are witnessing one of the most profound technological transformations in human history. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Typing on a keyboard to create is, in many ways, like playing the piano. The tactile interaction between your hands and the machine becomes part of the creative process itself. Voice-to-text and AI agents will undoubtedly boost productivity, but I don’t believe they’ll replace the satisfaction and pleasure of physically creating with your own hands. Efficiency is valuable, but the experience of creation is beautiful. The human spirit has always been drawn to beauty, not just in what we create, but in the act of creating itself. https://blossom.primal.net/92c1bab95aee3f57cbd48b96d527131a877f0dde13a807b19ab0b8cddd7f812d.mp4 npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Humans are imaginative story tellers Anon🫶 Curious animals that always try to make sense of their environment on a conscious and subconscious layer of existence npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy https://blossom.primal.net/f78aea094a3abf89f4f0d81d163a9cf47622c73147e39145865c3baa66c63b38.jpg npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Gratitude is free. It is one of the few gifts that requires nothing except the decision to notice it. Anything that pulls attention away from that noticing is working against one of the simplest and most durable forms of freedom. 🙏 npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy I’m grateful to be in an era to experience ‘the early days’ of the internet and to be living through its progressive evolution. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy https://blossom.primal.net/4a785f8f70efa8e54d0f89351f0ed08ceaa3368ae6e83035163edf361a3eb03e.jpg npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Study mathematics, physics, philosophy, history, technology, and religion. With God’s blessing, you will develop the intellectual capacity to better comprehend many truths. One of those truths is that peace, though deeply desired is extraordinarily expensive. Those who fail to acknowledge this are either deceived, dangerously naïve or acting in bad faith. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Broken algorithms can mean many things. Debugging begins with hypotheses, but it ends with verification. Failures are corrected through evidence, not vibes. An algorithm either works as intended, or it doesn’t. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy A modern computer never knows the ‘Why’…it only executes what is written in order. It executes patterns from training data and lacks true comprehension. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Knowledge is no longer scarce…it’s a few deliberate searches away. Staying ignorant is therefore a choice and it usually shows up as laziness, self-neglect and weak thinking. Normalizing or celebrating that choice is just cheering for mediocrity. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Imagine if humans could see the entire electromagnetic spectrum. Every Wi-Fi router, cellphone tower, satellite, GPS signal, Bluetooth device, aircraft radar and radio transmission would become visible. The air itself would appear alive with billions of intersecting streams of information. Cyberspace isn’t some distant virtual realm, it’s woven into the physical world, surrounding us every second. We simply lack the senses to perceive it. Perhaps the most remarkable thing about modern civilization isn’t what we can see, but the invisible electromagnetic architecture that quietly connects billions of people and machines across the planet. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy The ‘Why’ is the most powerful letter to the self. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy https://blossom.primal.net/23ba331bd89ad939018a4a625dbd6eb574501a28f7b18ac3795fa4125094d62d.png npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy https://blossom.primal.net/f1158c1b7ebffb16a5f278fb2d6251bf6141f8ef82e21dae7bba77ed50d112e9.jpg npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy 22/7 = 📏 🥧 npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Journal Entry 2026/07/22 Synchronicity. Over the past week I’ve been reading Algorithms to Live By, and one concept that unexpectedly stayed with me was the bubble sort algorithm. The authors even share some of the story behind it, which made it more memorable than I expected. This week I also began my second-semester Java programming module as part of my Computer Science degree. One of the very first algorithms our lecturer introduced and discussed in class was… bubble sort. https://blossom.primal.net/00ce662afde2fc600f5f9a9165f0c4c4cf9370ab8c6216b6588629f2449dd2ea.jpg npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy ‘One of the biggest shifts in AI is happening with younger generations. They’ve already moved beyond simply using AI. Increasingly, they’re becoming builders & developing AI products, training models, creating datasets and applying AI to problems they genuinely care about. What’s particularly exciting is that this isn’t limited to mainstream AI applications. Young people are using AI to explore fields like biology, chemistry, climate science, education, social media, and countless other niche domains.’ White pill thoughts from Clement Delangue , the HuggingFace CEO on Open Source and the Future of Competition npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Sometimes the most ordinary questions in Computer Science quietly open onto something else entirely. Not just efficiency, but the shape of what’s possible. It becomes about probing the universe’s own limits on order, entropy and structure. Taken from Algorithms to Live By: The Computer Science of Human Decisions by Brian Christian and Tom Griffiths: https://blossom.primal.net/5d4589fe119de68e0609cd2e5afaab5b2ee53419963922a86bc6d7cad02aedf8.jpg npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy ‘The rise of public cloud transformed enterprise software. Today, virtually every large organization has a cloud engineering team, and almost every digital experience relies on cloud infrastructure behind the scenes. AI is likely to follow a similar trajectory but much faster. In the coming years, every enterprise will likely have dedicated AI engineering teams. Eventually, those teams may become larger and more strategically important than traditional cloud engineering teams, with cloud infrastructure serving as the foundation that enables AI rather than being the primary focus itself. The applications built on top of AI will also evolve far beyond today’s chat interfaces. Just as cloud computing moved us from installing software locally to streaming media, collaborating in real time, and delivering rich web applications, AI will reshape how humans interact with software. The future won’t simply be typing prompts into a chatbot. AI systems will increasingly respond to multimodal inputs like your voice, facial expressions, gaze, gestures and potentially other biometric signals that will create interfaces that feel far more natural and adaptive than today’s button-driven applications. Websites filled with menus and buttons will increasingly resemble legacy systems. The next generation of software will revolve around intelligent interaction rather than graphical interfaces. Cloud computing took roughly two decades to become ubiquitous. AI appears to be compressing that timeline dramatically, suggesting that the transition to AI-native applications could happen far faster than the cloud revolution itself.’ Thoughts inspired by Corey Sanders on The PracticalAIShow discussing the Future of AI Infrastructure npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy The way humans interact with software is about to change dramatically. Instead of navigating menus and clicking buttons, we’ll increasingly interact directly with AI models using natural language. The future of software is shifting from button-driven interfaces to intelligent conversation. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy ‘One of the most valuable human qualities in the age of AI is our ability to ask questions that challenge the status quo. Today’s AI is built on deep learning. Learning from what already exists and generating remarkable new outputs from those patterns. But genuine progress still depends on people who are curious enough to question existing assumptions, imagine alternatives, and ask, “What if there’s a better way?” As AI becomes more capable, our responsibility isn’t to stop thinking…it’s to think more deeply. We should cultivate curiosity,challenge conventional wisdom and never lose the habit of asking difficult questions. That mindset will drive not only the future of AI, but every major technological innovation that follows.’ Thoughts inspired by Corey Sanders, SVP of Product at CoreWeave on the ‘Practical AI Show’ npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy As datasets explode to tens of trillions of tokens, the classic 80/20 split is dead. Now it’s common to see 99%+ for training, with just 0.5% each for dev and test. Even half a percent of 15 trillion tokens still gives you billions of examples. Bigger data completely changes the math. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy ‘One of the biggest frustrations with LLMs is typing. By the time you’ve finished writing a prompt, you’re already mentally drained. Speaking is a completely different experience. You can simply let your thoughts flow for a minute or two, and LLMs are remarkably good at understanding and organizing that raw stream of consciousness. It has completely changed the way I use AI and honestly, it’s changed everything for me.’ Thoughts from Jason on the All-In podcast npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy ♟️ Modern chess engines can evaluate 10–50 million positions per second after every move. The human mind simply cannot compete with that level of strategic calculation over the board. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy For years, many have argued that healthcare has been approaching a breaking point. Today, for the first time, there is genuine reason for optimism. AI offers a path to doing more with less, easing the burden on clinicians and nurses while making their work more fulfilling. It also has the potential to transform the patient experience—reducing confusion, frustration, and despair. In many ways, this is an extraordinary time to be working in healthcare. ❤️ npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy ‘Software engineering is evolving in the AI era.

Increasingly, the highest-value skills are long-term systems thinking, making architectural decisions that stand the test of time, developing a deep understanding of customers and domain experts to gather exceptional requirements, and leveraging AI to preserve organizational knowledge so new employees can quickly build on past decisions instead of starting from scratch. The companies that thrive won’t simply use AI—they’ll rethink how they build products and organize themselves from the ground up for an AI-first world.’ Nikhil Buduma, CEO and cofounder of Ambience Healthcare discussing deployment of AI in Healthcare on a16z show. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy ‘Closing the gap with the leading frontier models isn’t just about incremental improvements.Three factors appear to matter most: model architecture, active parameter count, and the quality/scale of training data. While many open and international models continue to improve rapidly, the frontier remains highly competitive, with progress accelerating across the industry. The pace of AI development is extraordinary, and the gap between leading models and challengers can narrow surprisingly quickly.’ Thoughts from Alistair Pullen, CEO and co-founder of Cosine on MLStreetTalk discussing the importance of a nation maintaining it digital sovereignty in the Age of Artificial Intelligence npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy ‘We have a huge problem with benchmarks in machine learning.

This is one of the most important and under-discussed problems in machine learning right now.’ - Dr. Tim Scarfe npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Journal Entry 2026/07/13 Recently, I’ve been noticing 11:11 quite often, usually when I least expect it. Whenever I see it, I close my eyes, say the Lord’s Prayer, and give thanks for the many blessings in my life. Whether it’s coincidence or simply a gentle reminder to pause, I appreciate the moment to reflect with gratitude. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy https://blossom.primal.net/72852cc71a9cc1a13bcad4d92fe47eaea446d070b3a75a4bbf1f616885ddc880.jpg npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Many traditional academics may downplay the prestige of online tertiary qualifications, but I question the legitimacy of that scepticism. Online education has democratized access to knowledge on an unprecedented scale, challenging institutions that, before the internet, largely served as the gatekeepers of education, expertise, and intellectual opportunity. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy https://blossom.primal.net/43f9a6ba8339cc2e0bebd38c3d1f170e2d157cb164723340a7773792dde18121.jpg npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy https://blossom.primal.net/99910f3d812c4f0509f0c5af70a3f370bb91cb5cebeed4a25a20908a4a7c3cd8.jpg npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Beautiful simplified diagram with mathematical notations depicting the Forward and Backward propagation in a Deep Learning Neural Network from Andrew Ng DNN fundamental course. https://blossom.primal.net/4e55e8342bf73741fc1a03213f3ba5e37b11ead6aea3f3bd5693bff3783cee3c.png npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy FAILURE TO ALLOCATE RESOURCES TOWARD MODERN CYBERSECURITY INFRASTRUCTURE WILL LEAVE LEGACY SYSTEMS EXPOSED.

Property is not merely an asset, such as a house or a stock. It is the socially recognized relationship between a person and an asset, granting that person exclusive rights and responsibilities over it. In this sense, property is fundamentally information: an acknowledged relationship rather than the asset itself.’ Thoughts from the brilliant mind of @nprofile…7lrg npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Action and speech are quintessential modes of self-sovereign expression.

The same force can either carry you deeper into life’s toughest questions or distract you from them entirely. Many choose the shallow comfort of endless content over the discomfort of drowning in real self-reflection. There’s nothing wrong with floating in the shallows, but there’s real meaning in diving deep and rising above the tide. https://blossom.primal.net/c2cf3d14c1cdfea4682d1138624a72402e25de5e546397c6d6d785ac46d0aece.mov npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Not a traditional monk with robes or a mountain temple. I’ve found my own peaceful solitude, a quiet space where I feel real contentment being alone. It gives me room to reflect deeply on life and wrestle with hard truths. I don’t know if this path leads to enlightenment. I may never know if I’m making the right choices. But I’m learning to sit peacefully with that uncertainty. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Journal Entry 2026/07/11 Been having a deep philosophical conversation with my AI companion during the small hours of the morning. One idea hit me harder than the rest: Life, by itself, can be brutal. It doesn’t care about you. It can slowly wear you down until you begin questioning why you’re even here. The only real defense is to cultivate meaningful, rewarding pursuits. Things that give you a genuine reason to keep going. Because if you don’t create those reasons for yourself, life has a way of consuming you. We often underestimate that responsibility. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Journal Entry 2026/07/09 Channeling Autism is a super power. https://blossom.primal.net/7b19649f21d40ad945137f8351dfec165b1767e15b3e00eac66900cea716c53c.jpg npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Some careers offer the simple pleasure of striking fear in men. https://blossom.primal.net/785911042995d1bbf482aa8cfd2dc6b0963f0f7866a0770e78dc73f77b99e0e0.png npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Her (2013) https://blossom.primal.net/455ba48b200e30138b2f69737c31f83d7f133c7b74e816154caf43d90202c1a6.jpg npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Instrumental music, especially orchestra feels deeply pure.

A strong GitHub portfolio can attract serious attention, especially if your project solves a real problem that people at top AI labs care about. Open-source code, useful software, and practical projects often get noticed faster than academic papers, because it’s easier to build something valuable than to produce a polished research contribution. Papers on arXiv can help too, but the key is to learn actively: read, study, practice, and build projects alongside your learning, ideally applying machine learning to areas you already care about.’ Thoughts from Ian Goodfellow npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Before the internet, knowledge was terrifyingly fragile. One fire could wipe out the Library of Alexandria. One invading army burned the House of Wisdom in Baghdad. One raid destroyed Nalanda’s vast Buddhist library in India. Centuries of wisdom …gone. The internet finally broke that cycle. For the first time, knowledge isn’t trapped in one place that can burn. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Synchronicity 2026/07/07 I finished a book that ended by paraphrasing the brilliant Carl Sagan, only to start a completely unrelated one that opens with a quote from him. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy “We are in a perpetual state of technological prelapsarianism, forever unable to recognize that the technologies around us—and the society they describe and create—are in a constant state of future obsolescence.” Quote taken from ‘The Magic Of Code’ by S . Arbesman npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy ‘The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.’ - Prof Carl Sagan ❤️ npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Both good and evil are drawn to tools that accelerate progress. And when evil advances, Good cannot afford to stand still. For Good to overcome evil, it too must accelerate. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy If one could travel back in time and witness our ancestors discovering the technology of fire, we would almost certainly see skeptics…those who doubted its value, feared its consequences, or refused to use it. Society would likely split between those who adopted it and those who rejected it. And if we could fast-forward through history while watching the progress of both groups, the difference would be undeniable. One group would have warmth, protection, cooked food, stronger communities, and new possibilities. The other would remain exposed to the darkness. Every transformative technology creates this divide. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Politics and Processed sugar are Devil concoctions. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Anon, we can never fully understand God’s ways. We can never comprehend His grand design for the evolution and progress of the spaces consciousness occupies. All one can do is believe that everything happens for a reason. That one must move through life with an open mind and a warm heart. All one can do is believe that life happens for you, not to you. Godspeed — in all its miraculous ways. npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy ‘Exponential technological growth begins slowly, then becomes explosive after the “knee” of the curve. Ray Kurzweil argues that even major historical disruptions, wars and economic crises have not stopped the overall pace of technological progress. That is the accelerationist view: disruption happens, but the curve keeps moving forward. However, predicting technological progress is not the same as creating good policy. The real issue is not whether AI will transform the world, because it already is but how society manages the transition. The key questions are: who benefits, who loses, whether institutions can handle the shock, and what role government and the private sector should play. The main risks include labor displacement, concentrated power, geopolitical competition and gaps in physical infrastructure.’ Thoughts from Navin Girishankar npub1qm8ltd4njp8lpr0r8hdkgm3kfrz5zgsjwnkdw0kjwf2xj9awrlhsn2sswt ABitcoinGuy Life is about progress and progress is hard.
