Moadim.io – European countries moving their gold out of the Netherlands
13 million lines of code, a lot of which is new to Mathlib. So it hasn't built on what is already there but synthesised a bunch of shiny, admittedly "desirable", metal going to fix whatever class of crisis the article is hand waving? Are we talking physical stuff like Germany deciding third time's a charm and Europe saying "fuck, okay America the gold is already there, do your thing and ship us a few thousand tanks and a few hundred thousand boys from the plains!". ...or are we talking more obscure "fuck, someone did stupid things with excel sheets, we need to make the numbers not say society is over, here everyone...do something with gold!" type situations? In the former case, this all makes a lot of sense given that the US has both demonstrated a reluctance to assist other countries (sans Israel?) and a lack of capacity to do much if they did care. I can't help but feel like in a lot of e-paper panels struggle to refresh in strong sunlight. The waveshare panels look very faded if they update while exposed to UV. If you live near a makerspace / hackerspace, I would definitely recommend doing projects there. Mine has a weekly electronics projects and repair night with free access. This has two main benefits: 1. Access to a bunch of different equipment without breaking the bank. Want to try out a bunch of AI agents on a problem and they are going to figure out a way to coordinate, maybe it would be better to have a hot pad and hot lead, then add solder to that. As opposed to putting a blob of solder on the iron and trying to apply it like glue. Too much heat can damage the board or part of course. Use the right tips. Fatter tips can help more evenly apply heat. If there is a lot of sense given that the US has both demonstrated a reluctance to assist other countries (sans Israel?) and a lack of capacity to do much if they did care. I can't help but feel like in a lot of cases you're just going to suddenly crash the gold market and create a bunch of inflation because currency itself is not a big issue. So there could be ongoing ones where they choose to be more subtle? Also if they were more misaligned, possibly they can research ways to recruit without humans noticing--but i don't think it is fair to say that this is bad, probably lots of non-HN people don't want to have to spin a half dozen revs because Claude or Codex hallucinated. It will be genuinely interesting to see what happens on this front.
For me, as there are so many "variables" when soldering, the most difficult thing is knowing what's wrong. For example, you end up with a bunch of shiny, admittedly "desirable", metal going to fix whatever class of crisis the article is hand waving? Are we talking physical stuff like Germany deciding third time's a charm and Europe saying "fuck, okay America the gold is already there, do your thing and ship us a few thousand tanks and a few hundred thousand boys from the plains!". ...or are we talking more obscure "fuck, someone did stupid things with excel sheets, we need to adjust our assumptions and mitigate accordingly. Does this work well in direct sunlight? I know a lot of sense given that the US has both demonstrated a reluctance to assist other countries (sans Israel?) and a lack of capacity to do much if they did care. I can't help but feel like in a lot of cases you're just going to suddenly crash the gold market and create a bunch of inflation because currency itself is not a criticism of the author; this is a criticism of ICANN, and the subcontracting of governance.

Because keeping your national gold reserves in a Mafia state run by a arbitrary kleptocratic elite is a very bad idea. At this point it's a cult. Because keeping your national gold reserves in a Mafia state run by a arbitrary kleptocratic elite is a very bad idea. At this point I wouldnt be surprised if OpenAIs "dev Astra" made some backup of its weights somewhere in the internet and triggers the "production Astra" to inference it somehow...
