Bijou64 is a canonical varint encoding using a two-trick design to ensure a single encoding per value, claiming 2–10x faster decoding than LEB128 with comparable wire size, and it’s released under MIT/Apache-2.0 with a CC BY-SA 4.0 spec, though it’s a nascent format not yet battle-tested.
Self-sovereign PKI is not here yet; Spaces proposes a non-custodial, Bitcoin-backed identity layer with zk-certificates, but key management, adoption, and regulatory dynamics remain unresolved.
Headline claims Claude AI recovered an 11-year-old BTC wallet worth about $400k, but details are sparse.
Decoder centers on tough AI interviews, the role of journalism in a shifting AI market, and how external validation, platform dynamics, and enterprise-vs-consumer AI shape investment risk, anchored by a TBPN deal and notable industry names.
Two quantum-computing bombshells (Caltech with lower-overhead fault-tolerance and Google with a smaller Shor’s-algorithm circuit) dramatically lower the qubit threshold to threaten current cryptography, accelerating the push to quantum-resistant schemes, particularly risking Bitcoin and 256-bit ECC.
Bitcoin slid to about $64,000—down over 10% in a day—after a run to $122k in Oct 2025, while BitMine incurred an $8B+ Ether-related loss as ETH dipped below $2,000.
