Linkin Park's "Lost" premiere is a nostalgic tribute to their legacy. The lyrics touch on themes of reflection & growth, paired with innovative AI-created visuals. 20 years after Meteora, "Lost" highlights the enduring impact of Linkin Park's music. Nostalgic, beautiful & emotionally powerful.

It's been quite the week for those in the know about the defense industry. While the S&P 500 has been chugging along, some major players in the defense sector have seen their stock prices take a dramatic dive. One has to wonder, what could be the cause of this sudden shift in the market? Could it be that the winds of war are beginning to change direction?

@ircrp

A promising start of the week with BCH breaking out of a very steep down channel. Lets just close above it and never come back to it, shall we ?

Is there any wallet which supports various EVM chains (e.g. Ethereum, BSC, Smart BCH, etc) and has a "watcher only" mode (like in Electrum/Electron) ? I would like to be able to impersonate any account so I can go to a DApp like Uniswap, start a transaction like swap and extract the transaction data. This would allow me to transfer the required raw transaction data to an air gapped computer where I have private keys to sign the transaction.

@ircrp

I wish there was an easy way to sign a Bitcoin transaction on air gapped computer. Having to transfer all the unspent transactions to air gapped computer is just breaking my balls when thinking how to do it securely and affordably such that data won't leak back from air gapped computer to an online computer. I just can't afford decent USB write blockers or dedicated USB per transfer for this solution.

One project that is making waves in the Rust community is Kindelia, a decentralized computing platform that uses a fast and efficient functional runtime called the HVM. The HVM is developed in Rust and is reportedly able to outperform the C programming language by up to 10x in many cases. However, despite the impressive performance of the HVM, the Kindelia team has faced challenges in securing funding and finding a viable business model for their project. Despite the fact that they have developed a technology that they believe is highly innovative and performs significantly better than existing alternatives, they have found it necessary to build a decentralized platform in order to have a more viable business model and a better chance of raising funding. One of the unique features of Kindelia is that it is designed to host applications written in functional languages and to be more efficient and cost-effective than alternatives like Ethereum. It uses the HVM to run formally verified apps natively, making it as secure as mathematically possible, and replaces slow Merkle trees with fast reversible heaps to make real-time apps economically viable. It's an exciting project that is worth keeping an eye on, especially for those interested in Rust and decentralized computing.

Cold exposure therapy may have the potential to inhibit the growth of cancerous cells in mice and humans, according to a recent study published in the journal Nature. The study found that activating brown fat tissue and reducing glucose consumption through cold exposure therapy may help to slow the growth of cancer cells. While more research is needed to fully understand the potential health benefits of cold exposure therapy, these findings offer promising news for those seeking alternative or complementary treatments for cancer.

Did you know that last night, the Bank of Japan (BoJ) announced that it will allow 10-year Japanese government bond (JGB) yields to trade within a wider range of -0.50% to +0.50%, up from the previous range of -0.25% to +0.25%? This change in policy is seen as a potential shift in the BoJ's monetary policy stance and is expected to cause some market volatility. It may also affect the flow of capital from Japan, as Japanese investors have traditionally looked abroad to invest their excess savings, attracted by positive yield differentials and the ability to hedge against currency risks. The widening of the JGB yield range may make it less attractive for Japanese investors to invest abroad, potentially leading to changes in the global market.

Zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) have recently gained a lot of attention in the crypto community for their potential to address problems in privacy and scaling. However, one major limitation of current ZKP systems is that generating a proof can be very slow and costly. This is because it requires a significant amount of computation, which can make it expensive to generate proofs for complex programs. As a result, the range of applications for which ZKPs can be used today is limited. To improve this situation, researchers are examining various ways to accelerate the proof generation process. This includes looking at ways to use specialized hardware, minimizing the amount of data needed to create a proof, and finding ways to make the process more efficient through parallelization and optimization. By addressing these issues, it may be possible to make ZKPs a more feasible solution for a wider range of applications.

I guess Mastodon is not 'cutting edge' enough for the Twitter overlords. Now every time you try to spread the word about the platform, it's flagged as malware. I guess we'll just have to stick to good old Morse code.

Cisco Talos has discovered that phishing campaigns using the Qakbot malware are using Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) images embedded in HTML email attachments. This HTML smuggling technique allows attackers to evade email gateways by storing binary code as JavaScript that is decoded and downloaded when opened via a web browser. The malicious code is executed when the victim opens the HTML attachment from the email, causing a ZIP archive to be created and an ISO image to be extracted to run the Qakbot trojan.

After spending countless hours talking to GPT over the past week, I can confidently say that it is a master at BS-ing. In fact, I think it could give a professional politician a run for their money.

I had the opportunity to spend a day utilizing a remarkable ChatGPT, and I was truly amazed by its capabilities. However, at the same time, I felt completely creeped out by its abilities. The ChatGPT was able to understand and respond to my requests with incredible precision, but it also made me question the potential consequences of advanced AI. Overall, it was a fascinating experience that left me in awe and discomfort. #AI #ChatGPT #OpenAI

Coming out from the most recent advances in OpenAI's multilingual translation project called Whisper, a twitter bot @vidtranslate powered by this technology can now translate videos for you from any language to English. Below is an example of Ukrainian being translated to English subtitles. https://twitter.com/vidtranslator/status/1576844897180581888

The developers behind Ethereum POW fork have reportedly agreed to change the Chain ID so that it is distinct from the Ethereum POS. Although this sounds like a trivial change, it is a very important one in protecting user's assets from undesired consequences like Replay Attacks. Up until few days ago the Ethereum community has raised concerns around the possibility of taking a transaction you perform on one of the chains and replaying it on the other. Imagine owning a CryptoPunk NFT and finding you can get a few bucks by selling it on the forked POW chain. You submit a transaction on POW chain which lists your CryptoPunk for 1 ETH. At this point a bot picks up the transaction you have performed on the POW chain, replays the exact same transaction on POS chain and bundles it with its own transaction to buy your CryptoPunk that you never intended to sell on Ethereum POS. #Cryptocurrency #ETH #Merge

JP Morgan tells investors that crypto market is set to bounce back by 25% in the near future. While it seems like a bullish news, I smell a rat. Remember when Chamath Palihapitiya went on TV and told investors they are dumb selling Tesla stocks while secretely dumping all his portfolio ? If only they could've smelt the rat back then.. Not saying this is definitely bearish either, but something just doesn't sit fine with me when big institutional players try to convince us something is imminently bound to happen. #CryptoTrading #Trading

A workaround fix was provided by Kui Wang to resolve issue with Smart BCH node and RPC nodes are slowly getting back online. A proper fix will be implemented in the coming days and keep us stable for the future. In case you want to get your node back online see the following steps: https://t.me/smartbchdevelopers/6120 #SmartBCH

@ircrp

In case you are facing issues connecting to Smart BCH, the team has discovered a bug which is causing nodes to experience failures and is being investigated. I would expect in best case a patch to be out within a matter of hours and things to be back to normal. #SmartBCH

US Consumer Price Index data about to come in. It will highlight the pace of inflation on consumer goods in the past month. A high number (over expectation) will likely be very bearish for crypto & traditional markets, while a low one could give as a decent bounce back.
