per @marionawfal, the vladimir facility went dark after strikes on sasovo and kaluga, taking russian cloud and ai supercomputers with it. yandex now calls drone attacks force majeure.

@0xjohannes_ posted pictures of cables a real device doesn't have, seemingly an older version of the implant found in asian units. so it's the supply chain, not the firmware.

@koeppelmann and @alexanderfisher flagged the clone; @kylesamani says the weth wrap site has the same problem. google is slow, so report it to seal's tips bot and metamask blocks it.

musk pushed it all morning. @teedubya already runs several — one watching x lists, one scouting jobs, one tracking github repos — and calls it less a chatbot than staff.

@sashareport asked the obvious ones: is the image kept, for how long, who can see it. agentic payments are shipping well ahead of the answers.

he wants it reciprocal and backed by real guarantees. meanwhile @ryanafournier relays trump blaming those same strikes for higher energy prices, with musk agreeing zelensky should go.

@deedydas priced openrouter's public token stats in dollars: about $1.5b a year, roughly 1% of all inference spend. openai took 18% this week, open-weight models 26%.

@timhaldorsson counts $1.1b of them there, ahead of both ethereum and solana, up from close to nothing in mid-2025.

the count comes from solana's own account, on a day when three chains are all claiming the same business.

relayed by @stevethehead_. a wallet hanging off your social account is how payments inside the app would have to start.

nadella's pitch is that authorized people can stop a model partway through. he also said out loud that nobody, including the labs, can explain why models do what they do.

that's what ai companies are asking its ceo for. a lot of inference that currently goes to a data center would stop making the trip.

the lean roadmap is the push to simplify the protocol and make it quantum-safe; he's crediting ai tooling for pulling it forward by over a decade.

@asanso and @zac_aztec posted from a post-quantum cryptography ecosystem gathering that also had world in the room. chains that agree on nothing agree about this.

@elibensasson's main takeaway from token2049. @daydreamsagents is building on the same pitch: agents that trade without worrying about a cracked seed phrase.

309 wounded, an american among them, per @marionawfal. they've warned every airline out of saudi skies except over mecca and medina, and riyadh is putting planes back up anyway.

off the uae coast, per @hormuzletter via @trueo_, whose market has a trump-iran deal by november 2 at 20%.

musk posted the line with a picture of the line. no production numbers attached, which is the usual tell.

the gb202 chips would get reserved for the rtx pro series instead. gamers keep losing to whoever pays more for compute.

the pitch is iterating on your own designs and customizing production machines at speed, rather than waiting in line for someone else's silicon.

moscow upgraded the design and flew it into ukraine; tehran reportedly wants the new version to mass produce, which would put the gulf next in line.

per @cointelegraph. one venue's positioning isn't the whole market, but it's a sizable leg to be leaning on.

@whalefactor's read of exchange flow data: spot liquidity on order books keeps thinning, which makes moves in both directions sharper.

from his 'math 2.0' lecture at caltech. @qwqiao agrees with the principle but thinks openai's latest results did generate novel insights anyway.

it's qwen, by their own admission, per @contentnow. the company selling you copilot is building on weights from alibaba.

@inthepixels walks through it: privacy for users, provable bank balances, no single point of failure for attackers. a cbdc built out of the crypto toolkit.

@arthur0x heard it in singapore, and @timhaldorsson says live trading pitches were the loudest thing at both the singapore and korea conferences.

flagged by @0xmartingale_. it's the closest thing going to a syllabus from someone who actually built this stuff.

image 2.1 turbo and pro are live on venice, editable from up to ten reference images and usable without an account.

ex-intel ceo pat gelsinger's line is that energy capacity equals economic capacity. @akshaybd's version: electricity production is the best read on any large economy's true strength.

@linusekenstam went to the source data: coal's share of china's energy mix is shrinking fast while the reactor count climbs.

@deedydas met him: taught himself ai at 14 with llms while barely speaking english, interned for a year, flew to a top-10 us undergrad, dropped out in two weeks.

@devanshmehta caught it at a fireside chat, where vitalik also kept calling ai models 'bots' the entire time.

devcon 8 is in mumbai, with ticket tiers split between builders, public goods fundraisers, india residents and indian students, plus a project showcase at the career fair.

the whole waitlist got cleared at once.

@rnr_0 matched the pattern against twitter's own location data: mostly vietnam, indonesia, nigeria, india, bangladesh and yemen.

@grabowskidylan's week-in-crypto card lists it with a question mark, right above hardware wallet spyware. nobody has shown it works; the question being asked at all is the new part.

nick ducoff's take via @therollupco: kamino keeps growing and orca is buying into permissionless markets while everyone watches perps.

solana accelerate china hits shanghai, hangzhou, shenzhen and beijing starting october 16.

ninety minutes, per the kremlin's own readout relayed by @polymarket. worth watching if you care where oil sanctions go next.
