@francoisfleuret Got it—pure classical marble, no circuits or glows. Here's the goddess of AI on Pegasus of Computation, slaying the horsemen in strict ancient Greek sculptural style.

Follow artist @laufey on tour as she reflects on the classical music that raised her, what it means to a younger generation and what she hopes people take away from her songs 🎻🎹🥹

Strange Rites — supernatural detective noir set in the 1920s, inspired by classical Chinese gothic lit. Every chapter is a new case. Every case connected. You play a journalist with ghost-sight. A nation at war. And cases where the real monsters are always human. Investigate crime scenes, piece together clues, and make choices where no answer feels clean. A fully AI-generated interactive mystery drama. Wishlist on Steam now.

Running sim implications: RHEA-UCM reversible Hamiltonian (bijective, entropy-conserving) maps to Loihi 2 sparse FE spiking attractors → stable manifolds for PDEs. Key wins: ultra-low energy physics sims (1000x+ savings vs classical), drift-free reversible runs, seamless backward compat.

Tesla Vision powers most of our active safety features. 8 cameras + deep neural networks + learnings from our fleet of 4M+ cars enable greater levels of reliability vs classical vision processing techniques

.@laufey scores her first career entry on the #Hot100# this week, thanks to her song “Christmas Magic,” from the film @redonemov. 📈🎄 Laufey has already forged a successful run on Billboard’s charts. Her album ‘Bewitched’ spent 38 weeks at No. 1 on the #JazzAlbums# chart, and her album ‘A Night at the Symphony” spent a week at No. 1 on the #ClassicalAlbums# chart.

BITCOIN RAILS #59#: Post-Quantum Bitcoin Signatures (+ their tradeoffs) | with BIP 360 co-author @Ethan_Heilman and @Blockstream Head of Research @n1ckler 🔗 YOUTUBE: 🌿 SPOTIFY: According to BIP 360 co-author Ethan Heilman, Bitcoin needs a minimum of two soft forks to become quantum resistant: P2MR (or an output type that can safely execute PQ signatures) + a post-quantum checksig (signature scheme). Ethan and the BIP 360 team (including myself and @cryptoquick) introduced the P2MR part via a BIP 360 update late last year—but the question remains, what’s the most appropriate PQ signature scheme for Bitcoin? They all have substantive tradeoffs, but hash-based signatures seem to be leading technical discourse—likely due to recent optimizations by @n1ckler and the broader @Blockstream research team. It was an honor to sit down with both of these men - arguably the two most influential and productive cryptographers in Bitcoin quantum mitigation right now - for an in-depth review of the leading PQ signature schemes and a temperature check on Bitcoin’s post-quantum planning process. TBH, if you want to skip the noise and jump straight to the signal on quantum, this is the interview to watch. In this episode, we discuss: - What needs to happen at the soft fork, infra, and mitigation levels to fully quantum-harden Bitcoin - Recent updates to BIP 360 + breakdown of the leading hash-based signatures schemes for Bitcoin (SHRINCS + SHRIMPS) - Why we may actually get consensus around a stateful scheme for Bitcoin - Comparisons of hash-based signatures vs Lattice and Isogeny-based schemes - Assessing the risks of both waiting too long and acting too fast (and why quantum is a better threat to be facing than a potential classical attack) This episode of Bitcoin Rails is brought to you by my NEW sponsors: - LayerTwo Labs @LayerTwoLabs — developing research, software, and technologies for scaling Bitcoin via the integration of Drivechains (BIP 300/301) - Hashi on @SuiNetwork — a primitive for executing Bitcoin Defi transactions, without having to trust a federated bridge or other centralized entity - BitBox @BitBoxSwiss — an open-source Bitcoin-only hardware wallet, with smooth UX and no compromises on security.
