If you won’t listen to it from me, listen... to the other side of the aisle. Congressman Chip Roy, a Republican, just told us all that when it comes to health care, his party has nothing to offer the American people but “milquetoast garbage.” After decades, Washington Republicans still have no plan, no solutions, and no answers for the American people.show more

🚨 Gradient Network Airdrop & TGE Important Update 😱... I already explained earlier what is still pending in the Gradient Network roadmap. According to the roadmap, there is still some progress left, and it may take more time because the team seems focused on building the project first before moving toward the TGE. However, just like some other projects, they have now started kicking people from their Discord server whenever users ask questions related to the Airdrop or TGE. The community has been running nodes for a long time, and now when people are asking for updates, many users are reportedly getting blocked or kicked. TGE & Airdrop are still not officially confirmed, but it is expected that it could happen sometime in 2026. The final confirmation will only come after an official announcement from the team. By the way, have you also been blocked or kicked? And how many points do you currently have? #GradientNetwork #Airdrop #Crypto #Web3 #gradientnetworkairdrop #gradientnetworktgeshow more

The two arsonists, #PrinceWilliam and #KateMiddleton, are still playing... the victim card. William and Kate were never mentioned in the unconfirmed (fabricated/I don't believe it) story that the BM (British Media) is spreading; this means they were never part of it. But, of course, they want to insert themselves into it, acting as if #PrinceHarry or #Meghan is interested in meeting them. Meghan and Harry moved on from Wales years ago, and Meghan firmly closed the door on Wales. Meghan wants nothing to do with those two. She didn't forget what Kate did to her, and that William sent Jason Knauf to help DailyMail in their case against her.. Funny how she is still a part of their world years after she left, while they aren't a part of hers. The last time she mentioned those two arsonists was in 2022.show more

🚨The Clarity Act just made it out of committee.... THAT IS A WIN, no question. And yes, I believe American-made digital assets like $XRP $HBAR $XLM $ONDO $TEL $ZBCN $ADA $LINK $ALGO and others will benefit over the long term. BUT SLOW DOWN! This does not mean you sell your house and lever yourself to the moon. This is not the finish line. This is the warm-up lap. There is still more work ahead. The Senate still has to debate it, vote on it, and work through the rest of the process. Then it goes to the President’s desk. And even after that, the real regulatory work begins. So yes, enjoy the progress. Raise a glass tonight if you want. But do not bet the farm. The rails are being built. This is a long-term shift. Do not expect straight-up price action from here. There can still be shakeouts. There can still be pullbacks. There can still be downtrends that test your conviction. But if you zoom out and look at the bigger picture, the direction still looks up to me. That is why I keep saying patience matters. Clarity will not reward the most emotional people. It will reward the people who stay focused long enough to let the thesis play out. Do you have the guts to think long term and hold for generational gains? 👇show more

It is truly remarkable how today’s media operates, and... how the so-called “virality” can so easily distort reality. A sentence spoken in good humor, in the spirit of friendship, suddenly turns into a worldwide headline of an entire summit among dozens of nations, while all the rest, the real substance, becomes irrelevant. But yes, it was good fun today to be with my old friend Ilham Aliyev and, in the presence of our dear common friend Emmanuel Macron, to refer to a slip of President Trump that even Albania managed to make peace with Azerbaijan, while Emmanuel himself worked tirelessly, for a long time, to bring peace between Azerbaijan and Armenia. A lighthearted remark, a friendly moment. Of course, no issue if it spreads, but to twist it into political venom is simply unfair. So let us set the record straight: The truth is that President Trump has shown himself to be a leader who restored the word ‘peace’ to the vocabulary of the West after many years. And yes, in a remarkably short time, he has achieved peace where others tried but failed and he continues to pursue it tirelessly. That exchange was nothing more than a moment of good humor among people who are, in fact, among President Trump’s greatest admirers.show more

🚨 Elon Musk’s SpaceX is crashing faster than Meta... did after its IPO. $SPCX has collapsed from $225.64 to below $110. That’s more than 51% wiped out in just six weeks. Back in 2012, $META fell around 61%. But it took nearly three and a half months. SpaceX is moving faster. Most people see a failed IPO. I see panic accelerating before the real opportunity appears. Keep in mind: I’ve called every major $SPX selloff, 2025 $BTC ATH and move from $126K → $60K I was one of the only people who called the top in October, and I’ll do it again, that’s literally my job. If you still haven’t followed me, you’ll regret it.show more

Now that the dust has settled, can you see... how Mamdani helps us more than he hurts us? Yeah things are going to be terrible for NYC, but that place is already a hellhole. Now Trump gets to run on “Communism vs. Common Sense” in 2026. Mamdani just gave MAGA a golden ticket. Trump now has unlimited talking points and can draw more of the middle towards MAGA during the midterms. Now Trump can run on the Dems going full-blown Communist, which is a very easy sell. And what price do we Trump supporters have to pay for this? Absolutely nothing. Unless you live in NYC, it doesn’t affect your life at all. He is just a mayor of a city all of us avoid anyways. Trump is still POTUS and holds all the cards. Mamdani supplies us with significant political ammunition, at minimal to zero cost.show more

Union corruption is out of control in Australia. Union... corruption is costing taxpayers billions and delaying the construction of vital infrastructure. I’ve got nothing against honest union members but like any large organisation you get corruption at the top that needs to be addressed. Unions do have a valid purpose but intimidation isn’t one of them. In 2019 the Coalition actually showed some guts for once and tried to crack down on corrupt unions officials and unions by putting forward the ensuring integrity bill. Pauline Hanson blocked it after saying she would support it. From that day on I knew you could never trust her, even putting aside the fact she rarely turned up to work. If you want a party that will always stand up to corruption whenever it is join today. •••••••••••• “Pauline Hanson and Jacqui Lambie have joined forces to deliver a shock defeat of the Government's signature union crackdown legislation. The changes would have allowed for applications to be made to the Federal Court to deregister a union or union official if conduct was deemed inappropriate.” Lead to this: “Employees at the Transport and Main Roads (TMR) offices in Brisbane were "traumatised" after CFMEU members stormed the building in 2022. A top bureaucrat has told Queensland's CFMEU inquiry he heard union members going “room to room” searching for him after they stormed a government building, forcing it into lockdown.” And this: “CEMEU enforcer Jade Ingham warned a senior Queensland transport bureaucrat that the militant union would "bomb" the Centenary Bridge upgrade site after the builder did an industrial deal with a rival union, an inquiry has heard.”show more

I built a clone of the Yeezy store with... Next.js. This was a fun challenge — the site has some smooth animations and feels very fast. But it was bothering me that I couldn't use the browser back button. Can we do better? So I rebuilt the site with v0 and Motion. Here's how it works: 1. When you click on a product, Motion is able to animate the original position of the product in the grid, to the zoomed in product detail page. 2. During this transition, we also shallow update the URL with the `/p/slug` route for the page. 3. If you press the back button in the navbar, or use the browser back button, or press escape — all options will take you back to the main product listing page. 4. If you reload the page while looking at a product, or someone sends you a link to a specific product, it still works! This is the best parts of a SPA and MPA mixed together. In the future, I can make this even better with View Transitions (I wasn't able to get the product animation just right, but if you can I'd love to see it!). I also took some creative liberties from the original design. The whole 1/2/3 size thing, where you needed to click the "?" to see SM/MD/LG was strange, so I just went directly to those sizes. Similarly, I prefered the more traditional style sheet/modal with the background color change, versus the full screen takeover. If you wanted to actually hook this up to Shopify now, you can swap the cart implementation with Next.js Commerce, which has all the APIs you need + optimistic writes 🔥 Should I make a video walking through the code?show more

Sorry if I did not answer many of you.... I’ve never been a fan of the online eulogy. The immediate fallout is always about loved ones. And we should leave those closest be. And then I realised of course I was just incredibly upset, and a large digital outpouring is inevitable and testament to his character. My devastation came from having to watch it all unfold. From spending years trying to help and actually getting him close to a point where he almost had a normal life again - then being powerless to stop him doing things he should not have. Powerless in every sense as it also meant it sometimes not being my place to say anything. In the end watching some of the evil shits around enable the worst of it was too much for me, I had to step back it was too painful to watch. I told my mate who was filling in for me looking after him “ah I just need some space from it all, I’ll be back with him after Christmas” and then suddenly there was no Christmas. And it turned out no one was to blame, and I immediately looked to blame myself most of all, fearing the worst. But it was a simple accident in the end. A bolt out of the blue. So if you are ever estranged or overwhelmed by friends and family and think it will all be OK one day - DON’T put it off. Reach out now. Grab that person and hold them tight. There may not be a tomorrow. You might not be around to see them off. There may not be the grand luxury of time available you thought there was. He died in the arms of his beloved son, and that is a measure of comfort, if a passing can ever have any. He was my mentor, my friend and my glad burden. And there was nothing I would not do for him.show more

Last night I had one of the worst panic... attacks I’ve had in years. Thats a part of suffering from depression and I wanted to share that mainly to explain what it feels like so others can benefit. 🏃‍♂️ It started after a run last night. I knew I was on the edge of exhaustion for weeks. The room started spinning, I wanted to puke and my heart felt like it was going to explode. I put it down to exercise at first but it was a full on panic attack 🛌 After leaving a cafe in a hurry I had to lay down. It took 3 hours to pass. During all of that time I thought I could die. It’s this extreme fear that is the panic attack. Even if you’ve had loads of them you still struggle to get through it. 🦷 During and after it my jaw tensed up. Today my muscles ache. I’ve been tired and irritable for weeks. There’s been a fog. Indecision creeps in. Self doubt. A feeling of worthlessness. Imposter syndrome. Extreme exhaustion. 😖Anxiety and depression is no joke. I write this so as others can hopefully see it and think “ah good I’m not the only one feeling this” Like so many people you could look at me and think everything is perfect. I spend my days with dogs, I get constant nice comments, I’ve loads of followers, I wrote a book and been on TV etc. Many of the things people dream of and I feel blessed to get to do what I do. But more importantly I’m not ashamed to say I’m the guy who had to run out on a Saturday night on a friend back to my bed to do deep breathing and manage a crippling panic attack. I’m the person who often has to look at their feet instead of making eye contact as the anxiety is eating me up inside. For anybody out there just remember there are sports stars, CEOs, Lawyers, Singers, Movie stars and people from every walk of life who suffer like this. There’s absolutely no shame in it. Your sister, son or elderly parent might be struggling and trying to hide it. I know mine has come from losing 4 dogs recently and the pressure on my shoulders. I won’t lie I did look at the bar with the football on last night and think “2 quick beers will fix this”. But then I thought of Billy, Cindy, Eve and all the other dogs who rely on me. Easy decision Look after yourselves and others who might suffer 🙏🥰show more

I've been working in silence for quite a while... now. Tbh, I don't really even know where to start, so cue the rambling and ranting. Regardless of which side of the fence you sit on, no one can argue the past few years haven't been politically and economically wild. For crypto as a whole it feels like a never ending game of tug of war. A lot of X content has become toxic, so I just largely am not interacting these days. But I read, I read a lot of it. I think we like to forget history a bit in this community. $PLS launched off the highs, and the SEC swooped in right after. Very few people want to admit it, but it shook confidence immediately. I mean no other crypto project has survived such a thing at the time. But #PLS $PLSX and $HEX did. However, winning doesn't unshake that confidence. And RH during and after that event took social precautions to protect himself and his creations. Thing is, the guy isn't stupid. Someone once asked me if I thought certain aspects of the launch we rushed because he knew it was coming? And honestly, maybe. I'd attribute at least a non-zero probability to it. And If that were the case, im glad it was rushed. That case may have gone differently otherwise. Do I still think #PulseChain, #HEX, etc... all have futures? Yes. RH has had the opportunity to just straight up bounce from all of this. Why hasn't he? You could point to exhibit A, B, C, D, etc... of how he's likely got the funds to do that and we all could relatively do nothing about it. So why is he still around? I think it's pretty simple. The usual answer, he wants to win. It's in his twitter handle for Christs sakes. I'll go a step further and say he likely also wants us to win by extension, arguably not as much as he wins, but I mean that's pretty locked in at the moment 🤣 That's not to say he hasn't long been encumbered. And in that state, at lot has gone on without him. Much of which is / was bad. $pDAI guys... I pointed out from day one how building all this around a protocol in a dangerous state was a risky move. And I was right about that.... on multiple occasions... But does that matter now? I suppose not as much. In its current state, it's seemingly no longer exploitable. No different than a meme token now. (presumably, not like I have deep dove on any further risks since ESM). So I guess just whale risk mainly now? Now a lot of people here are in the anti-pdai camp. Me too for what it's worth. But I don't care as much about it's negative anymore in its current state. A lot of people are still in the #pDAI camp strongly. We view this as tribalism, but it's important to note that makes all of us in the #PulseChain camp universally. So these day I find myself relatively pDAI neutral. If you guys want to send it to $1 do it. Only whales can stop you, they run out eventually. (insert super strong this is NOT financial advice). Hell you can maybe even use Sigma to help? Or maybe it wont help, idk. Depends on how people use the software. Conversely, when looking at chain state overall... Why is there nearly $50M in stables sitting on the sidelines. Why not just bridge it out if you want out of what you think is a dead chain. Surely leaving it there exposes you to bridge risk? Why all these yield movements, why the $HEX dusts.... Something is happening. People are seemingly waiting to see what that something is. Or I am reading into things, NFA as always. This whole post is just ramblings of someone trying to do the best they can and certainly not any kind of advice. When I look at other ecosystems, I see a level of polish we don't have. I see tooling we don't have, I see a fostered developer environment we don't have. So I've just been building it, painstakingly.... Because someone has to if we want to be taken seriously. And what I've been building has allowed me to get Sigma to where it is. Sigma is so close... Really just in UI mode, performance optimization, going through nice to haves. I don't believe in launching in a non-finished immutable state. So yeah, I take my time. As with everything. But my point with all of this, and the "why" #Sigma question.... It's unifying, anyone can participate. Which tribe you're in doesn't matter. And if you don't like it, don't use it. It's just software you can use or not use. As it should be. The years of tooling work to deliver this has been a lot of work for one guy in silence. In that time AI has appeared. My take, every dev should be using it. Given the right direction and context. It will make you better. If you blindly trust it, it will make you worse. GPT 5.4 audits smart contracts better than most auditing services. Especially if you give it the context of what you are trying to do. Anyways I digress, testnet is soon. Soon more meaning a feeling of near completion not always reality. That how software is. I do think Sigma stands to unify the chain in a common goal, and shift liquidity into more meaningful places, but ultimately it up to the people the decide to use the software or not use it. And after these frameworks I've built will be applied to what I am tentatively calling the universal hex UI. More or less something aggregative of every derivative I can reasonably support. With data and analytics we since lost. So not just $HEX, $HDRN, and $ICSA, but others as well. However, that depends on some aspect of $Sigma to exist first, so sigma first, chain unity first. And last but not least, take care of yourselves and strive to do cool things. If we aren't doing cool things then what's the point? Hope you think my UI looks good, I spent a while on it. /rantshow more

The final boat in the Global Sumud Flotilla was... intercepted just after 10.30am local time on Friday morning, with around a dozen Israeli soldiers filmed boarding the tiny sailing vessel. The Marinette, with six people on board, had lagged behind the 41 boats which were intercepted between Wednesday night and Thursday morning, meaning it entered the area where Israel is known to illegally intercept boats far later. It was intercepted at about the same point as many of the boats taken on Thursday morning - near enough to territorial waters to make it easy for soldiers to take the boat to Ashdod port, but certainly not within sight of Gaza. The Mikeno, another small sailing vessel that organisers say had six people on board, is the only boat that may have reached territorial waters - although there are inconsistencies in its tracker readings that bring this into question. Organisers still do not currently know what happened to it. Israel said yesterday that it had stopped all the boats but the Marinette. “All the passengers are safe and in good health,” the foreign ministry claimed in a statement. However, Israel still has not said how many people are in detention, leaving families distressed, without specific confirmation that their loved ones are accounted for. While 42 boats are now believed to have been intercepted, in 19 cases this is an assumption, with the IDF having blocked all communications before boarding. Organisers believe there should now be 461 people in detention, including those from the Marinette. On Thursday, Israel said it was transferring detainees to one of Israel’s most notorious torture prisons. The Ketziot prison, located in the Negev Desert, has been the site of repeated abuses against Palestinian prisoners.show more

Full Fine-tuning vs. Freezing Layers. Interact 👉 and ==... Full Fine-tuning == A real network has many — three layers in this example, billions of parameters in a production model. What does fine-tuning look like when you update all of them? That’s full fine-tuning: continue training every weight in the pretrained network on your new task. Every layer’s W gets its own ΔW. Nothing is frozen — every parameter is in play. Think of an MLP as a chain of prerequisites leading to an advanced course. Layer 1 might be Linear Algebra, layer 2 Probability, layer 3 Advanced Machine Learning — each one building on what came before. Fine-tuning is what happens during graduate study: the foundations are already there from undergrad, so you’re not re-learning. Full fine-tuning is reviewing every prerequisite to see what new topics have appeared and what discoveries the field has made since the last time you sat through them. Effective — but exhausting. This diagram shows the same three-layer MLP twice, side by side. On the left, the pretrained network runs on input X: three weight matrices W₁, W₂, W₃, each followed by a ReLU activation. Full fine-tuning gives the model the most freedom to specialize. Every parameter can move — and every parameter that can move must be stored. But not every prerequisite needs revisiting. The further you go back in the chain, the less the material has changed since pretraining — the linear-algebra basics under your computer-vision course are largely the same as they ever were. The next page does exactly that: freeze the prerequisites that haven’t moved, and only refresh the advanced one closest to your specialization. == Freezing Layers == Full fine-tuning reviewed every prerequisite — Linear Algebra, Probability, Advanced ML — to refresh each subject with the latest topics. Effective, but exhausting. Then you realize something. The prerequisites haven’t actually changed that much. Linear Algebra is still Linear Algebra; the matrix decompositions you learned still hold. Probability is still Probability; the distributions and Bayes’ rule haven’t moved. Almost all the new material — the new ideas, the recent discoveries — lives in the advanced layer at the top. That’s freezing layers: keep the prerequisite layers fixed at their pretrained state, and only update the advanced one. In the diagram below, W1​ and W2​ — the foundational prerequisites — stay frozen. Only W3​ — the layer closest to your task-specific output — gets a ΔW.show more

So two Brits do their best to relocate to... Australia and set up a new life for themselves and due to a company closing + Visa issues they have to return to the UK People make out it’s easy to just up sticks and leave but I’m telling you from experience it’s really not unless you have a skill that’s in high demand or get married etc “Never in my life did I think I would post this. But here it is: I am leaving Australia. My chosen home. The place that shaped me. The place I thought I would grow old in. It still feels unreal. But sometimes life turns around and has different plans for us. What happened: my partner and I were on a sponsor visa and about to get our permanent residency in March 2026. A few months ago we got the news that his company was sold. At the same time, his occupation was removed from the visa list, which meant there was no real way for us to apply for another visa. There were other options to get PR, but after four years of working hard and spending a lot of money, we both didn’t feel ready to start another process. So we decided to take it as a sign and leave Australia. But the closer the day comes, the sadder I feel. To leave my home, my apartment, my people and the life I built here. For some it’s just a country, but for me it’s the life I created that I now have to say goodbye to. And honestly it’s breaking my heart 💔 #australia #permanentrresidency #movingabroad #expat #expatlife”show more
