It could turn a 1M context system to a 4M context system. TurboQuant-style KV-cache compression makes longer context windows cheaper to serve. Not exactly sure how much increase in context size though.

antoniuschan99 — Sat, 21 Feb 2026 19:22:52 +0000

Bitcoin’s early growth was driven by capital-base asymmetry, engineered scarcity, and reflexive adoption. As issuance declines over coming decades, the network transitions from a subsidy-supported growth phase to a maturity phase where security must be sustained by fee demand, price stability, or structural evolution. By 2040, Bitcoin’s long-term security budget becomes the central economic test. The article explores three potential equilibria: a fee-dominant sovereign settlement layer, convergence with gold as a reserve anchor, or perpetual issuance models such as tail emission — while acknowledging the political constraints around altering Bitcoin’s monetary design.

Before the invasion, influence and control was iraqi state owned. Afterwards, it was controlled by the US government up to ~2011. Then the western oil companies had influence. So sure they didn’t use it but they can dictate where it goes.

It’s about productivity and increasing it to be more competitive against other nations. Look at South Korea. No natural resources so post war plans was to base the future on human capital. It’s why the density and workforce is concentrated in Seoul.

AI build out is more of an extension of datacenter build out though. All the hyperscalers lead AI build out.

Fiber dailed because the telcos overbuilt and demand lagged. When Amazon introduced AWS it succeeded right away because there was lots of demand.

I been using these mini pan frying skillets for years for prototype boards. <$2. An IR thermometer with a laser is handy during the process.

And here is the cheap hot air rework station I use. <$15

You can even opt out of the stencil but I never do cuz it's much easier than not having it.

In order for any of that glass design to look like glass there needs to be a background with a mix of at least 3 colors. I implemented the glass design in an app last year and afterwards thought it was ok. It makes some text difficult to read depending on the background.

Bytedance is signalling it wants to compete against vscode for ide marketshare.

Wondering if it is a fork of vscode though because right now it will be competing against cursor.
