Like clockwork: Russia is banning the export of 100+ grams of physical gold, about $17k USD at current prices. Expect more states to follow, first with bans and then with seizures if the price really soars.However, they’ll find it harder to do the same to decentralized cryptocurrency.So if you’re friendly with a state, you can use gold.

I know Nevada would wanna do that.”@balajis and @bhorowitz on Network State podcast ...

PERSONAL PRIVATE PROGRAMMABLEI’ve been thinking more about the intersection of Claude Code and Obsidian. There is an upcoming tech stack here that I’m calling personal private programmable.Here’s a sketch of the idea.First, if you squint ahead a few months, we will likely have open weight AI models that work as well as Claude Code does today, and that can handle the context that Google Gemini does.We also already have many different kinds of file types that can be exported out of apps, from markdown files ( ...

POSTSCRIPT(a) Please note: the intended purpose of the California wealth seizure referendum is to rob or exile everyone in tech. There is no point in complaining about this as being stupid.(b) Rather than stupid, it is intentionally evil. The reason is that Democrats fear that technologists might actually displace their control over California, and so they are striking first. The goal of the Democrats is to drive tech out of California, like they did the Republicans, so they can enjoy permanent one-party co ...
