In a matter of a few hours I’ve got a completely private via Signal and self-hosted LLM (qwen2.5-tools) agent to interact with and use. It’s “self-configuring” and pretty capable for what it is (32B parameter model).
It’s a tool I can comfortably use with my private documents, without worry of leaking to a provider.
I understand the hype..

I was wondering if Saylor was going to do ANYTHING regarding funding of Bitcoin R&D so I think it’s good he is contributing to something..
…hopefully in a meaningful way, leveraging the existing approaches (e.g OpenSats) or similar such structures

Gloria Zhao
Thank you for your many, many contributions, and you service and dedication to Bitcoin Core over a number of years
The incessant bullying and vitriol that has led to this has been very sad to see
Unfortunately I think this will lead to contributors being less willing to be “on the record” or talking to journalists or media etc, but understandably they won’t want to open themselves to what we’ve seen happen to Gloria
(maybe come back as a nym when you’re ready)

“The 1.8-bit (UD-TQ1_0) quant will run on a single 24GB GPU if you offload all MoE layers to system RAM (or a fast SSD). With ~256GB RAM, expect ~10 tokens/s. The full Kimi K2.5 model is 630GB and typically requires at least 4× H200 GPUs.
If the model fits, you will get >40 tokens/s when using a B200.”

Last year my (then 6 yr old) daughter had a crazy creative period over a few days where she smashed out a bunch of original fashion designs.
This week we’ve been bringing them to life (somewhat) using AI.
It’s been an awesome experience for her to start getting exposed to these tools.
I cant wait to see what she’ll accomplish in combining her creativity with the power of the tools.

Peppa Pig is a terrible show.
The dad, Daddy Pig, is portrayed as a bumbling idiot who thinks he is hot shit ("I'm a bit of an expert"). A role model for no one.
Bluey, however, is an incredible show.
The dad, Babdit, is portrayed as an imperfect, but highly engaged, fun and supportive dad. A role model for every modern dad.
Long live Bluey (& Bandit)!

Bit of an “end of an era” for me
Have been heavily involved in administering the community-based, not-for-profit daycare my kids have attended for the last 4 years
Kids are now (soon to be) no longer attending, growing up
So it’s time for me to pass the baton
Definitely moments in the 100s of hours when I questioned whether it was worth it, but upon reflection very proud to have been involved and to have made a big impact
A bit more time to continue building up the local Bitcoin scene in Perth and WA soon!!

Parallels was up for renewal today.
~AU$140/year
Used to use it a lot when I was working in different roles but now only used for a single VM.
Took a bit of effort to get up and running but switched to UTM - open source. Bit embarrassed it took so long for the switch.
While I was at it I also got rid of some other software that I know has heaps of telemetry and could be considered somewhat user-hostile:
- Raycast - I’d already switched back to Alfred recently
- Warp - now using Ghostty

I just published my latest research at: https://deadmanoz.xyz/posts/p2ms-data-carry-2
I analysed all 2.4M P2MS UTXOs. 99.98% are data carriage, with only 552 outputs (~0.02%) appearing to be legitimate multisig custody usage.
Around 75% of P2MS outputs are permanently unspendable due to use of fake keys.
Bitcoin Stamps dominates at 74% of all P2MS UTXOs - all created since early 2023, and all deliberately unspendable!
With Bitcoin Core v30 removing OP_RETURN limits, and Bitcoin Stamps no longer embedding "art" in P2MS outputs (the original justification for P2MS permanence), I believe there is now a reasonable case for deprecating P2MS creation entirely!
