If you don't bet on tech on tech that actually works and extracts *from users*, then you are basically betting on coins that extract from you and people alike you, so today you win tomorrow not, and it's not even good odds for you because of fees etc.

Tried to use https://forgecode.dev/ instead of claude code/codex/etc for today, feels just... smarter. Apparently also performs better on benchmarks https://www.tbench.ai/leaderboard/terminal-bench/2.0

A few actually realize, but the reason solana has so few tech projects is because of the cost to deploy actual smart contract to it. And no I don't mean to "deploy" a token on pump.fun or wherever - this just creates an *account* and doesn't cost nearly as much. When you actually want to upload smart contract *source* to have some custom logic, it costs about 8-10 sol just for that. You cannot even be sure you'll make that back as solana trends are very short lived, so this upfront investment makes deploying something actually technical, useful, etc quite unfeasible on solana, but it's a nice shitcoin factory IG. I think if you want to trade smarter, you just need to look on base/bsc as that's where real tech projects can launch (they won't pick solana because of things described above and eth is basically the same but also expensive for users, leaving only high performance, popular+cheap chains like base or BNB as options).

Now that Claude Code has leaked and people are building their own "compatible" forks with other models, I wonder if we'll start seeing better harnesses that actually work with Claude Code subs without getting accounts termed (That arent through the Claude Code Agent SDK)
For reference, the standard Claude Code harness ranks 39th out of all tested harnesses πŸ€”
But tbh - I don't care if I get banned from anthropic if I get 20% improvement , fully worth it!
One interesting tendancy I notice right now is that the more code changes given person does in a timespan, the less he understands 'his' changes and overall codebase and further from reality he is
Like when I see a commit that has over 5k additions, you either used some drugs or you don't understand the thing
Market is very dead right now to be fair. I think from actually good tech plays only $EITHER is out there
By the way, if you're developing anything EVM related, look at https://www.indexsupply.net/, very nice stuff
Tho generally bad latency, so keep that in mind. If you need better latency, of course use something like mobula.io or alchemy
Should I open source my secret PCHIP library for solidity?

XMR being supported on Thorchain is an absolute gamechanger, for the better. Or the worse πŸ€”

Of course if you need to just hide your bundle from degens in trenches, just use binance deposit/withdraw or anyswap, but if you have something where the gov or some power groups might be after you, this is a big win NGL. Very bullish that thorchain didn't just go along with the overall crypto eco (bybit, zcash adding unshielded addresses, etc) leaving out xmr specifically because you might use it against gov control and to avoid AML algo.
Please mythos finally be the ai apocalypse we've been waiting for!
So many people larping knowing tech it's crazy, not having a claude sub really becomes an advantage nowadays
seems interesting, knew the dev somewhere in 2022, they got a16z grant around that time also, but IG it ended and they made a coin https://plurigrid.com/
probably bad entry now, but maybe worth if dips a bit to like 100k

Particle got an exploit or something?

I don't know why more people aren't doing this simple trick for improving DX

manifold (prediction market) is very interesting, strange that they haven't got so much attention as polymarket or kalshi, IMO much more interesting model πŸ€”
