🤑 First quantum-resistant Bitcoin transaction successfully executed, StarkWare says

This development counters the idea that a network fork is the only way to secure bitcoin holdings against quantum computing risks.

⬇️ Avihu Levy, the head of StarkWare's applications division, has devised a method that adds an "extra lock" to protect holdings by using signature grinding to prevent use of public key data while transactions sit in the Bitcoin mempool.

🟠A Bitcoin transaction is exposed to quantum attacks when it waits in the mempool before it is confirmed. During this brief window, it reveals the mathematical material that could give a future quantum computer an opportunity to forge a signature and steal the funds.

🟠StarkWare says signature grinding closes that window by refusing to accept the first valid signature and instead brute-forcing millions of candidates until one has a shape that does not expose the public key material to quantum computers.

❗️This method is deliberately expensive, and can take hours of computing to produce a single transaction.

"There is a catch for now. Bitcoin's network only passes along transactions written in the standard formats it recognizes, and this one is unusual enough that ordinary nodes would simply ignore it," — the company said. "So instead of going into the public queue, it had to be handed straight to a miner willing to accept it."

🧠 World's first patient to undergo live AI-assisted brain surgery has tumour removed

The world's first patient to have brain surgery with live AI assistance has successfully had his tumour removed. Rhys Hibbert from Bedfordshire could have lost his sight without the operation, said surgeons at University College London Hospital.

The AI tool analysed a video feed of the operation as it happened and advised surgeons on how to avoid crucial but hidden vessels and nerves in the brain. It allowed them to safely remove as much of the tumour as possible.

"It is trained on more operations than most surgeons see or do in a lifetime and can act like an expert second pair of eyes," — said Prof Hani Marcus, who helped carry out the procedure.

🖥 Nvidia agrees to buy Hugging Face for $12.9 billion

Nvidia has agreed to buy Hugging Face, a repository of open-source AI models, for $12.9 billion. A ‌deal of that size would mark one of Nvidia's largest acquisitions to date.

It would also give Nvidia control of Hugging Face — which ⁠hosts open-source large language models and datasets — at a time when builders ​of closed-source models such as Anthropic and OpenAI are seeking to create their own ​chips as an alternative to Nvidia's graphics processing units.

Today QSI turns 5 yo 5⃣🕯💋🌟

I remember when I turned 5 too. 👀 Before then, I used to sleep in a bed in my parents’ bedroom. But on my 5th bday my mom said I was a big girl now 🥚 and got to graduate into my own bedroom!

And that’s precisely what QSI is about to do too 😊🤗

Today we celebrate QSI beginning the journey towards a massive transformation of its mind, body, and soul 🪄🪄



🦋 at NOON CDT we will have an open mic discussion to gather feedback on how we can improve our current operations for now and for the 🌫🌫🌫🌫🌫🌫 ➡️ how can QSI become more “public facing” and what that means for our chat and culture

🦋 later this afternoon I will drop a short declas on 🔠🔠

🦋 tonight we will stream my 🅰️🅰️🅰️🅰️🅰️🅰️🅰️🅰️ movie of all-time and this time I want yall to watch it to embody it. Imagine sacrificing (surrendering) yourself to free yourself, to free other captives, to free your nation, and eventually to free humanity



Challenging the system means questioning and pushing back against established rules, order, and the status quo. You have to learn how to identify flaws (distortions, stagnation, inversions, and yes even wobbles 😧) in how an organization or society works

➡️Which means you must also learn how to first identify and correct (heal) them within yourself too⬅️

It means you will face tremendous resistance from traditional minds and traditional structures, 🔠🔠🔠🔠🔠🔠 you can even introduce new ways of thinking or create meaningful change

Will you break before then?

Some of you sound like you might break yourself before this even begins... 😮 Like your mindset, family, health, or finances might break you first. 😨 And the media and society haven’t even begun their rounds on you yet! 👊 👊👊

Will you break? Or will you have faith?

Will you rise up and fight knowing that truth, justice, freedom, and the whole weight of the Divine Army are on your side? 👤😇🌈 for they are all 🔠🔠🔠🔠🔠🔠 you if only you can rise to their frequency and harness their strength

Faith in the 🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌
Not faith in the seen

Faith in yourself
Faith in your alignment
Faith in your divine strength
Faith in your conviction and fortitude
Faith in your resilience
Faith in your spirit to guide you home

This mission is one of everlasting endurance. We aren’t looking for more gray hats here 👎

Only white hats 👍

Will you be one of us? ⬜️

🇺🇸 Tempe turns off its Flock license plate reader system, citing privacy concerns and risk for 'misuse'

Tempe, Arizona, shut down its network of Flock Safety license plate readers and plans to terminate its contract with the surveillance company, citing privacy risks and cases of alleged misuse reported by other cities. The city said that it would not replace the system with technology from another provider. Tempe operated 33 Flock cameras.

"These cameras have helped our police officers do their jobs, and we don't discount that," — Mayor Corey Woods said. "But the risk of misuse is too great. We have to be able to provide public safety in a way that maintains the trust of our community. For Tempe, that means taking these cameras down."

🪳 Cyborg cockroaches with tiny syringes designed to join search and rescue teams in major disasters

Biorobotics engineers have been working on the design of six-legged cyborg insects with cameras and miniature medical injectors for search and rescue missions. The roaches are designed to deliver emergency aid to people trapped in collapsed buildings, caves or other places too dangerous for rescuers to reach.

The “paraborgs” have been developed by University of Queensland biorobotics researchers, working with biomedical engineers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW). UQ biorobotics engineer Thang Vo-Doan said their research transforms the cyborg insect from a mobile sensor into a tiny first responder, while critical medical decisions remain under human control.

🤑 Bitcoin researchers propose quantum fix that would not crowd out transactions

Blockstream researchers published a proposal for SHRINCS, a way of signing bitcoin transactions that would hold up against quantum computers, which could otherwise work backwards from a public key on the blockchain to the private key controlling the coins.

Post-quantum signatures standardized by the U.S. NIST can be dozens of times larger than the signatures Bitcoin uses today, and Bitcoin blocks have limited space, so larger signatures leave room for fewer transactions.

🔜 Blockstream estimated that Bitcoin could process around 6.5 transactions per second if every transaction used today's compact Schnorr signatures, falling to about 0.36 with SLH-DSA, the hash-based scheme NIST has standardized.

🔜 SHRINCS gets that back to roughly three transactions per second. Its signatures start at about 324 bytes, compared to 64 for Schnorr, growing by around 16 bytes each time a key is used, with the configuration reaching three transactions per second using 580-byte signatures.

❗️Jonas Nick, who designed SHRINCS with fellow Blockstream researcher Mikhail Kudinov, called it the first concrete post-quantum signature proposal designed specifically for Bitcoin. He added that it is not intended to be Bitcoin's final signature system.
