EARTH’S OXYGEN HAS AN EXPIRATION DATE—1 BILLION YEARS FROM NOW
A new supercomputer simulation says Earth will lose its oxygen supply in about 1 billion years, long before the Sun actually dies.
The Sun will keep getting hotter. That heat will evaporate oceans, destroy the carbon cycle, and kill photosynthesis—the process that gives us oxygen.
When plants die off, oxygen levels will crash. The atmosphere will fill with methane, like it did before complex life evolved.
Out of 400,000 simulations, nearly all showed the same outcome: a mass extinction-level drop in oxygen.
The study cuts the previous estimate—2 billion years of breathable air—in half.
No air, no humans, no animals. Only microbes that don’t need oxygen would survive.

Thank you very much for your reply, and appreciate the high-IQ simulation,
but here’s the problem:
You’re assuming this is a clean trade in a frictionless market.
In reality,51% attack ≠ profitable trade.
It’s an existential attack, not a money-making arbitrage.
Shorting BTC while attacking the network sounds clever—until you realize:
1️⃣Markets freeze.
Exchanges halt trading. DEX liquidity evaporates. Vols spike. ETF redemptions break. You don’t just “print billions” like it’s a button.
2️⃣Counterparty risk explodes.
If you’re shorting MSTR or miners, who’s filling your order book mid-attack? Who’s buying your puts? TradFi hates chaos—volatility crushes trade execution.
3️⃣Reputation risk is real.
No major fund survives being exposed as the actor who nuked BTC. This isn’t a backroom poker game—it’s geopolitics, public markets, and the global financial system.
And lastly: If BTC truly drops 70%+ on chain trust collapse, the rest of crypto dies with it.
ETH doesn’t “win” that day—it bleeds out next to the corpse.
A 51% attack isn’t a trade. It’s an act of war. And wars are never clean, never controlled, and almost never profitable for the initiator.
So yes—ETH may be the better SoV long term, but not because someone’s going to assassinate BTC on purpose and ride off with a suitcase of profits.

I will give you credit - this is a significantly higher IQ response than 99% of American Bitcoin holders could write 😂
Your critique boils down to the operational complexity of executing this attack. I would argue that if a fund (or coordinated group of funds) can 10-100x their capital and make billions of dollars by doing 51% attacking BTC and shorting it, it is very likely to happen, even if they have to jump through a lot of hoops. Even if some exchange withdrawals get frozen after the attack, there will still be tradfi ways to short BTC (ETFs, MSTR, miner stocks), it will be shortable on DEXes, and other crypto-assets will likely plunge in tandem, which will be shortable as well. Options are another great way to execute this trade.
Once a 51% is successfully executed, BTC is finished. It doesn't matter if the software soft/hard forks, or anything else - its SoV meme will be permanently wrecked, and I would expect it to immediately plunge in price by 70% or more.
I would also argue that "attacking the soil you depend on" doesn't matter, since this attack can be executed by outside actors who don't care about that "soil."
I think BTC and ETH are in direct competition to be the internet's primary SoV, and ETH is the only rational, sustainable choice out of the two.

More coming shortly! The team has been working very hard in the background.
Entirely trained in simulation with RL. Many optimizations and fixes have been put in place in our sim-to-real training code.
The cable is there in case of a fall (not actually holding the bot) since this is an early result which will get more stable very quickly.

Here's a little more, and no cables this time ;)
It's all real-time speed, zero CGI, fully learned in Simulation & zero-shot transferred to real.
Besides the fact that it's fun, we had to make significant improvements to our robot model in Sim, domain randomization and other techniques which will directly transfer to more practical situations as well (robust walking, and agile full-body control in general).
We also learned quite a few things on our hardware and tuned our power profile.
I hope it is getting pretty clear that Tesla is much more than an amazing car (!) company: it's the place to be for transformational real-world AI.

Announcing Hardhat 3 alpha release 🚀👷
We introduced Solidity tests, rewrote the performance critical components in Rust, added multichain support across the board, implemented OP Stack simulation, revamped the build system, modernized our TS CLI and plugin system, and a lot more.
Hardhat 3 is a complete overhaul. This is an alpha release and there’s still a lot of work ahead towards stability, but you can already take it for a spin. High level information on main features in the thread below.

China has launched the world's first commercial underwater AI data center off the coast of Hainan. This facility houses over 400 high-performance servers, delivering computing power equivalent to 30,000 high-end gaming PCs. It can process up to 7,000 DeepSeek AI queries per second, handling tasks like model training, simulations, and marine research. Utilizing seawater for cooling, it significantly reduces energy consumption and environmental impact, setting a new standard for sustainable computing.

Here's Elon Musk expressing his confidence in a fully and rapidly reusable rocket just after seeing the two boosters of Falcon Heavy land for the first time in 2018.
“I didn't really think this would work. Because when I see the rocket lift off, I see a thousand things that could not work, and it's amazing when they do.
Seeing the two boosters land synchronized, really just like the simulation, it makes me think, there really could be quite a scalable approach.
You could imagine large numbers of those just coming in, landing, taking off, landing, doing many flights per day.
So, it gives me a lot of faith for our next architecture, the interplanetary spaceship. We have different names for it, but BFR is the code name, and it gives me confidence that BFR is really quite workable.
I was actually looking at the side boosters and like, they're pretty big, you know, 16 stories tall, 60 foot leg span. But really we need to be way bigger than that.
I have tremendous confidence, obviously, in the SpaceX team. So I think we can really do this a lot and keep advancing the technology to achieve full and rapid reusability, which would have a profound effect on the future.”
