C++ nugget:
The C++ compiler assumes that if two pointers have different types, they must have different addresses.
This is not always true: in HFT you often pre-allocate memory then create/destroy objects with placement new.
To avoid subtle bugs: std::launder

Jon's presentation notes:

#nevent1q…ur5p

The Protocol Masterclass (from Plan B Network program) was a very useful walkthrough of the code base by Jon, a core developer.
Notes
https://vibe.planb.network/planb_program_dev_masterclasses/speakers/jon-atack.html
Some nuggets/quotes I found interesting or funny:
> Initially, the code had a huge main.cpp where most of the transaction validation logic lived (>5000 loc), which suggests Satoshi was not a professional C++ developer. 
> Bitcoin core currently has only about 40 active individuals and is struggling to find new developers.
“It’s important to understand how few people work on the Bitcoin protocol” “Actively full time maybe 30-40 people in the world.” “In the past year or two there has been no new developer” “Now is a good time to work on bitcoin core.”
> Coding style
“The code base is being gently refactored over time. You have to curb your urge to clean-up the code, as this can introduce bugs.”
> Changes that affect the consensus require the highest level of review. “It has been a while since there has been an accidental fork”
> “It’s funny how much importance people give to BIP numbers and what number it is. I would prefer they attach more importance to actually finishing their draft”
> “Give what you want. You want review, give review. Reviewing other people’s work is a forever green way of adding value and making friends.” “You have to not care too much about how fast your own stuff gets in”.
> “There are so many more people who want to post on X, and so few who actually want to read the code”

It’s interesting that it blends a mining chip with a simple coil. So you have the flexibility to crank-up the heat when it’s really cold.
My flat is well insulated so I dont need to do this. It stays in ‘eco’ mode where it only heats from the mining chip.

If Gates did the same rebrand as Saylor, he’d just get Soft.

Another event illustrating energy surplus: because of high wind, the UK had to export surplus to France.
As a consequence, France had to reduce output from nuclear.

The grids would be simpler and cheaper to manage if every energy producer was simply using 100% of its output capacity all the time, with on-site mining farms.

The language used to justify coersion
“Threat to democracy”
“Social responsibility”
sounds like lines out of Atlas Shrugged.
We understand Interpol wants to catch the bad guys.
But that should not mean weakening encryption and putting everyone’s data at risk.

Dubai airport check-in does not print boarding passes / luggage receipts.
You have to queue at a separate counter to get paper printouts.
“Hi sir, can I see your boarding pass?
- Sure, let me just bring up my phone, bring up the email app, connect to wifi, wait…, click on the view now link, wait… oh there it is.”

Before quantum computing cracks Bitcoin keys, humanity would have to survive everyone's whatsapp history being decrypted.
Every single message ever sent since whatsapp was created would become public.
According to a famous South Park episode, that would lead to complete chaos and a disintegration of civilisation.

Good cakes, nice staff and their SwissBitcoinPay system was smooth.

This popped up in a conversation with friends a few weeks ago:
Imagine if Dyson was integrating the Heatbit mining chips inside their wifi-enabled air heaters…
Thousands of users around the world would be mining bitcoin for Dyson without even knowing.

Lunchtime reading...
“In the monetary field, the fear of change, maintained by the absolute control of monetary power exercised by central banks, prevents any debate on the consequences and costs of this monopoly. The Bitcoin protocol, for its part, encourages miners (network validators) to use the cheapest electricity possible, mainly surplus production that no one wants.”
“Currently, only distortions in the energy market, such as access to subsidised fossil energy, would justify some miners using anything other than surplus energy. The interest in this collection lies in the signal sent to industries using electrical energy. Indeed, when Bitcoin miners settle in a location, they indicate a source of surplus electricity.”

Speed gap
"It was the first time where a weaker money globally won out over a harder money, and it occurred because a new variable was added to the monetary competition: speed."

Reading ‘L’énergie, face cachée de la monnaie’ by Pierre Noizat.
Mass is measured in grams, energy in joules.
What about information?
It is measured in joules / kelvin.

When I turned 7, my parents trusted me with the key to the house. I could cycle around the block, come back and open the door by myself. I've never lost the house keys.
They said 7 was "l'âge de raison"

To apply censorship on Nostr, a government would have to go after each individual user, which is possible, but less convenient and more visible than hiding behind the “community guidelines” of a social media platform like Facebook or Twitter.

Extremely well made, beautiful graphics, good music, gripping storyline, and many references to old Japanese Edo traditions.
Each episode has a different vibe and slightly different music track.
Watched the last episode last night.
It’s worth watching each episode twice to squeeze out the juice from the aesthetics.

@npub1trr…hdpu gave 2 energetic talks this week,
- one about human rights,
- the other one about the positive impact of bitcoin mining on the Big South.
Waiting for both talks to come out on the channel.

Inception.
The idea that a county’s central bank can hold bitcoin in its reserves alongside gold and can use these reserves as a tool to repay debt is now in politicians’ minds.
A big mental barrier was broken today.
All western democracies have a debt problem and until today none of them knew how to solve it.
