While most of the market was selling off the Fed was raising rates and the CLARITY Act was failing in the Senate Zcash decided to do the exact opposite zcash:native was trading close to $400 at the end of June Today it’s around $1,485 That move looks completely irrational until you look at what happened before it The rally actually started with a disaster Zcash launched in 2016 with the same 21M supply limit and halving structure people already understood from Bitcoin The important difference is privacy Bitcoin shows the sender, receiver and amount. Zcash can hide all 3 when someone chooses to use a shielded address Privacy isn’t forced on everyone, it’s optional That detail matters because the entire current story comes back to whether people are actually choosing it In June, researchers disclosed an inflation vulnerability inside Orchard, Zcash’s main shielded pool The bug had reportedly existed unnoticed for roughly four years and, in theory could have allowed someone to create counterfeit ZEC without the public being able to detect it There was no evidence that anyone had exploited it But once the possibility existed, the market had to ask an uncomfortable question Is the 21M supply really 21M? Price collapsed, people pulled coins from the shielded pool and confidence disappeared almost overnight Then Ironwood arrived in July The compromised Orchard pool was permanently sealed and replaced with a new shielded pool Coins moving into the new system had to pass through a controlled migration process allowing the supply to be accounted for again A counterfeit coin couldn’t simply enter the new pool unnoticed The code was repaired but more importantly the supply became believable again That’s the first half of the current ZEC move: repair The second half is expansion Roughly 28% of circulating ZEC is now held inside shielded pools up from around 23% a year ago Shielded activity has also grown substantially People aren’t only talking about privacy, more of them are actually using it Who owns those shielded coins? The honest answer is that we don’t know And not knowing isn’t a flaw in Zcash, it’s the product You can see value moving from transparent addresses into a shielded pool but you can’t see who controls it or where it goes afterwards That’s why claims that “governments are secretly buying” or “insiders are hiding supply” should be treated carefully, the system doesn’t give us enough information to prove or disprove either story What we can measure is the transparent side Grayscale’s zcash:native now gives investors regulated exposure to ZEC through a US-listed ETF, that demand isn’t hidden, it sits inside a regulated KYC-compliant product So the lazy “this is all black money” explanation doesn’t really fit the data we can see The simpler explanation is that demand for financial privacy rises as surveillance and restrictions increase Europe has placed additional pressure on privacy coins under MiCA, some exchanges have restricted ZEC and other jurisdictions are treating privacy assets as a separate regulatory category Normally, regulatory pressure is supposed to reduce demand With privacy, it can also remind people why the product exists Zcash is changing in another way too For years it had one clear job: private payments Now Zcash Shielded Assets are opening the door to private tokens, collectibles and NFT experiments. ZecBit is working on shielded NFT infrastructure while other projects are experimenting with private ownership and sealed-bid auctions That ecosystem is still early, I wouldn’t pretend otherwise But for the first time Zcash is developing a culture layer on top of its privacy layer That gives people another reason to hold and use the network beyond sending money The timing of this rally is probably what makes it stand out most The Fed raised rates The CLARITY Act failed to advance Bitcoin briefly traded around $75K ZEC still climbed roughly 35% While everyone else was waiting for direction from the Senate and the Fed a network built around escaping financial surveillance barely cared Maybe that’s the point For me this move stands on two legs The first is repaired trust after Ironwood The second is growing utility around shielded assets and applications The metric I’ll keep watching isn’t a politician a headline or a mystery whale It’s the amount of ZEC entering and remaining inside shielded pools If that number keeps rising the privacy premium has real usage behind it If it stalls the rally becomes much easier to describe as speculation There is a fair bearish argument here too F2Pool co-founder Chun Wang has described the move as a narrative-driven short squeeze. He has a point privacy still isn’t the default setting and a near-vertical move always attracts leverage and momentum traders The chart is stretched so I’m not treating every green candle as a safe entry $1,400 is the first short-term pivot Below that, $1,250-$1,300 is the main demand area I want to see defended A clean break and hold above the recent high around $1,530 would open $1,650 first followed by a possible extension toward $1,800 Lose $1,100 and the structure starts looking much weaker September 30 is the next date on my calendar, features that aren’t ready for the coming NU7 upgrade by that deadline may be dropped from this release So yes, part of this move may be a squeeze But it’s difficult to call the entire rally empty when the network has repaired its biggest credibility problem shielded usage is growing and a new application layer is beginning to appear at the same time Zcash spent years selling one idea Privacy when you need it The market may finally be deciding that it needs it Not financial advice, just how I’m reading the data and the chart

There is a room in Málaga that was built to be the closest thing on earth to standing inside heaven. It is called the camarín of the Virgin of Victory, and it is hidden at the top of a tower inside the Santuario de la Victoria. To reach it, you climb and the ascent is the entire point... The building you are climbing through was completed in 1700, and it was designed as a single argument made in stone. At the bottom lies a crypt: a black chamber crowded with white plaster skeletons, a meditation on death and the brevity of life. From there a staircase rises, and as you climb it the light grows stronger and the imagery changes from bones to saints. The architects of the time understood this ascent as the soul's own journey, the dark crypt as the stage of penitence, the staircase as the stage of spiritual progress, and the room at the very top as the final stage: the union of the soul with the divine. That room at the top is the camarín, and its dome is one of the most extraordinary interiors in Spain... Every surface is covered in white and gold plasterwork. There is no empty space anywhere. The Baroque called this horror vacui, the horror of the void: the conviction that a space meant to represent heaven should not contain a single bare patch of stone. Out of that plasterwork emerge angels, flowers, birds, and mirrors. The mirrors are not decoration alone. They catch the light pouring in through the windows of the drum and throw it around the chamber, so that the gold seems to move and the whole room appears to shimmer and breathe. This wonder was built by people who believed that if you wanted to show a human being what heaven might feel like, you did not describe it to them. You built a room, and you let them climb into it... -- -- -- If you enjoyed this, I write a weekly newsletter read by over 50,000 people who love rediscovering the beauty of the past. You can join us here: If you'd like to support my work, a paid subscription is what makes it possible.

Teams that don’t strike out at a high clip win more games. Simple as that. This is amplified at the college level — and even more at the high school level and below. Once you get to two strikes, it becomes a team at-bat. Grind it out. Compete your tail off. Choke up, shorten up, widen out, move closer to the plate — whatever helps you execute your two-strike approach. Some call it their “B swing.” Make the pitcher work. We preach “look fastball away and adjust,” but there are plenty of effective two-strike approaches. You have to experiment and find what fits your swing and mindset best. A quality two-strike approach often leads to hard-hit balls. But even when it doesn’t, the defense still has to field it, throw it, and catch it. That’s pressure. A lot tougher to defend than a right turn back to the dugout. #DoingDirtWork

hyunsuk and jihoon snuck into the dorms at lunch scared the staff would catch them eating ramen in secret but got even more scared when the door opened but nobody was there + it wont close on its own as it should 😭 #최현석 #지훈 (at 11:52 of the content) 🦔 (heard the sound of door code pressed, door opening and shoes taken off but the sound stopped there and nobody came in) 🦔 we thought someone arrived… tbh that time we snuck out without the staff knowing so we were alr scared 🦔 “oh we cant get caught though” so we both froze for awhile and tbh when we were trainees, they were very strict… 🦔 we were gonna eat ramen in secret that time so we hid it and figured out what to do and when we settled down, no one came in. 🦔 (said they’d hear it if they went somewhere) 🦔 from then on, bc jihoon and i get scared so easily, were like “you go!” “no, you go” and argued for about 10 mins cos we get easily scared. 🦔 i eventually went out to check but there was no one near the shoe rack and the funny thing is it was just jihoon and i, just the two of us so there should only be two pairs of shoes, though there were untiedied shoes too, but there was another pair of shoes that weren’t there when we came in. so we wondered if someone came in quietly but in the end it’s really just the two of us inside the dorms. 🦔 and what was scarier was that like in most apartment buildings, the front door force closes so strongly so if you dont hold it open, it would automatically close right? ours is the same. it wasnt even left on a veryain angle but it stayed open… 🦔 so we spent another 10 mins arguing again and i went outside thinking someone must be holding on to it but there really was no one there. so we tried closing and opening it at that angle again and let go of it but it would close definitely. it doesnt make sense right? 🦔 so thats when i first understood it when people say when you’re truly scared, you cant even scream, you just freeze. 🦔 after we snapped out of it, we wer able to check the intercom footage, but nobody got off the elevator, nobody came up the stairs either, it just showed the door opening by itself like this so we were absolutely terrified and i think we left right away.

You've probably scrolled past a dozen posts about Jev this week without anyone telling you what it actually is. It's the first model from TypeSafe, a lab started by one of the researchers behind ChatGPT. It's a decision engine: you give it options, it picks one and tells you how sure it is. It cannot write a single word, and that is the interesting part. Every other AI you use writes. That is the whole interface. So when software needs a plain yes or no, we make a model write a paragraph and then dig the answer back out of it. Fine in a chat window where a human reads it. Bad inside software, where code has to act on it. The bet is that the valuable half was never the writing. It was the deciding. That problem showed up in WordPress years ago, and it is the reason WPVibe works the way it does. The AI does the work. Anything permanent stops and waits, because a delete that skips the trash is not something software should decide on its own.

You’re on a dark, quiet highway when the van ahead suddenly stops. The driver’s door flies open. The driver jumps out and starts running toward you. Your gut says this isn’t right. You back up to create space… then hit the gas, swing around the van, and get out of there. Later you wonder: Was that someone setting up a carjacking — or someone desperately needing help? The video may or may not be an actual event; it may or may not contain AI

Archaeologists in Livorno, Italy, are putting together the pieces of a great mystery that began with a stunning find. While hiking in a cleared area of a Tuscan forest northeast of Livorno, a member of the Livorno Paleontological Archaeological Group spotted a few glimmering coins in the dirt in November 2021. Upon closer inspection and excavation, researchers determined that the find included 175 silver Roman denarii coins. Nearly all were in good condition, making this one of the few hoards of ancient coins found intact, according to the group. But the discovery prompted a number of questions: Whose treasure was it? Who were they hiding it from? And why didn’t they come back for it? The archaeological group, along with the archaeologist official for the provinces of Pisa and Livorno, Dr. Lorella Alderighi, has spent more than a year measuring, weighing and documenting the coins, according to a news release posted on its Facebook page. Now, the researchers think they have some answers. “This treasure is about a person’s life, the savings of a soldier’s life and his hopes for building his farm,” Alderighi said via email. “However, it also tells a sad story: (T)he owner of the coins died before he could make his dreams come true using his savings. The coins tell his story.” The hoard now displayed at the Museum of Natural History of the Mediterranean in Livorno. It’s impossible to know exactly who buried the coins, Alderighi said, but the coins would most likely have been the treasure of a former soldier who served during Rome’s Social War from 91-88 BC and during civil war between Sulla and Marians from 83-82 BC. The owner of the hoard buried it in a terra-cotta pot, which served as a sort of piggy bank. The earliest coins in the stash dated to 157 or 156 BC, and the latest up to 83 or 82 BC, according to archaeological group’s release. During that time, 175 denarii would have been a soldier’s salary for about a year and a half, Alderighi said. Now, the treasure has a value of around 20,000 to 25,000 euros, she added. The coins were preserved well in their buried state. Only two are fractured, but they can be reassembled, the release noted. Studying them could provide scholars with more background on the history of coins and how people used them and could even lead to changes with fundamental typology, created in 1974 and still used today to identify and date Roman coins, she added. “It is one of the very few hoards of ancient coins found intact and provides a lot of numismatic, historical and social information,” Alderighi said. 🎥© rometravelers (IG) © CNN #archaeohistories

Studying them could provide scholars with more background on the history of coins and how people used them and could even lead to changes with fundamental typology, created in 1974 and still used today to identify and date Roman coins, she added. “It is one of the very few hoards of ancient coins found intact and provides a lot of numismatic, historical and social information,” Alderighi said. 🎥© rometravelers (IG) © CNN #archaeohistories

MAGA has spoken. Massie has been fired, MTG was banished to “The View”, and the woke-Right, or whatever you want to call it, is now officially dead. It was cute while it lasted though. Now of the morons will please shut up and get out of the way, we have a world to save.

I’d like to reemphasize this. The dust you see is not settling. It is still going uphill when it flies over the horizon and out of view. It is like a rocket that has curved below the horizon but is still climbing. If you get this, it makes sense why it clears the view so fast. /1

If you think this is just another silly demo made with AI, read this post. You might change your mind, because this demo is about MATH. What you see on the screen is not a render from Blender (obviously, it’s not that good). It’s a three.js app built with Toolcraft. Available on the web and rendered in real time(link in the comments). But Blender still has a lot to do with it. Blender has Geometry Nodes - a powerful node-based system for creating and manipulating procedural geometry. In other words, it’s math. And math is a universal language. And who do you think is pretty good at math? >>> AI. Now you can download or buy Blender files from marketplaces, and when they contain Geometry Nodes for procedural animations, objects, surfaces, or effects, you can transfer that logic to the web. Make it real-time, make it interactive. Materials are a separate story, of course. They can still suck unless you use the right tricks: PBR, HDRIs, material blending, displacement, and faked surface relief. So why is Blender important here? Blender is open source, and many tools around it are open source too. An AI trained on their code. That means it can translate the math from one environment to another quite accurately. If you’ve been struggling to reproduce some idea with AI that you had in your head or seen in some references, and it has something to do with Geometry Nodes, and you can find that idea or a close one in the Blender ecosystem - it means you can transfer it to the web. Thank me later.

On Barkley’s big first quarter run, Lenoir needed to stay outside as the force player and when the Eagles tried it in the 3Q again, Lenoir first jumped inside but recognized the play and bounced back out for a TFL.

You and your family enjoy the day at the aquarium and you are on your way out. The parking garage’s electronic gate was malfunctioning, no matter how you pay and it shows you paid, the arm wouldn’t raise to allow people people to leave. An attendant showed up and said they were working on it. After what felt like an eternity, a man walked up to the machine and held it up for people to leave while the attendant was visibly angry and was calling the police because the man was helping people leave without paying, should the man be arrested for helping people leave without paying or was it the attendant’s fault for not fixing the issue?
