Electrofficiency: electric tech is far more efficient than the fossil tech it replaces. A heat pump, an EV, an induction hob, same job on a fraction of the energy. That’s why electrification taking centre stage at COP matters. Excellent piece 👇 theguardian.com/environment/20…

Exciting news: GLM-5.2 (Max) ranks #2 in Code Arena: Frontend, with +29pt over Claude Opus 4.7 (Thinking) and only behind Fable 5! GLM-5.2 is the best open model vs Kimi-K2.6 and Minimax-M3 by a large margin. - #2 React and #4 HTML sub-leaderboards - Ranks as the top model in nearly all sub categories: Brand & Marketing, Reference-Based Design, Data & Analytics, Consumer Product, Gaming, and Simulations. Congrats @Zai_org for the incredible milestone!

GLM-5.2 (Max) by @Zai_org ranks #10 on the new Agent Arena leaderboard, closely matching Claude-Opus-4.8 (non-thinking) and is the #1 open model by a wide margin! In Agent Arena, we measure models on millions of real-world, long-horizon agentic tasks from a global community of

zkKYC means proving you're verified without revealing who you are. Trusted Guardians verify identity off-chain and issue on-chain attestations. Users then generate ZK proofs of compliance. No sensitive data ever touches the chain.

Two days ago the US banned Claude Fable 5. Yesterday China dropped GLM 5.2. Today GLM 5.2 is #1 on @bridgebench BS at 100.0, and #1 on Reasoning at 42.8, beating Fable 5. At 1/10th the cost and 300 tokens per second. You cannot export control your way out of an open source race. The ban didn't slow China down. Unban Fable 5.

EVs cut down the EU’s oil imports ✂️ And the region can manufacture as much as 4.6 million EVs annually, nearly DOUBLE the current demand of 2.5 million. In 2025, EVs avoided 67 million barrels of oil imports worth €4.1bn 🇪🇺 ember-energy.org/latest-insight…

The US chose private money with a freeze switch. China chose public money under surveillance. There's a third door for the digital euro, and it's still open. New post: blog.cfelde.com/2026/06/the-th… #DigitalEuro #CBDC #Ethereum #Stablecoins

Three reasons I now see EVs (PHEV+BEV) reach ~80% of global auto sales by 2030 (mid case): Simplicity – lower maintenance Efficiency – superior energy conversion Savings – cheaper to own When a technology is simpler, more efficient & cheaper, history shows it eventually wins. A few things have shifted my thinking. First, China. I expected China to lead, but I didn't expect the world's largest auto market to cross 60%+ NEV share this quickly. If China finishes 2026 around 65-70% and is still growing, it suggests we haven't found the ceiling yet. That has huge implications for global manufacturing scale, battery demand and cost curves. Second, battery costs keep falling while EVs keep getting better. The important signal isn't whether batteries hit $30/kWh. It's whether EVs continue getting cheaper, better and more capable faster than ICE vehicles. Every cost reduction opens another segment of the market. Third, I think many forecasts underestimate second-order disruption effects. They assume ICE sales decline gradually as vehicles age out of the fleet. History suggests otherwise. As market share falls, dealer networks shrink, model line-ups contract, suppliers exit, fuel infrastructure becomes less viable and resale values weaken. The economics can unravel much faster than linear models assume. Finally, I no longer view EVs in isolation. Solar, batteries, AI, automation and electrification are reinforcing one another. The same forces driving battery scale are driving down costs across the broader economy. Could I be wrong? Absolutely. If China stalls, battery cost reductions plateau and the ICE ecosystem remains healthy through 2027, I'd probably pull my 2030 outlook back toward 60-70%. But if China keeps accelerating and we start seeing visible cracks in the ICE ecosystem, then 80% global NEV share by 2030 may end up looking conservative rather than optimistic. The thing I have the highest conviction in isn't 80% EV share. It's that most people are still underestimating how quickly ICE sales can collapse once the tipping point is reached.

The ETH Yield-Machine ✅ 10% on ETH ✅ Grows BOLD supply ✅ Improves BOLD liquidity ✅ Pays bribes to LQTY stakers for 3 months❗ A new PIL initiative has been proposed to boost the new ETH carry vault on @ipor_io, which has quickly attracted $1.5M in TVL Let's break it down

Using Office 2019 on Mac, iPad, or iPhone? On July 13, 2026, Microsoft will put the suite into read-only mode for all users, regardless of which OS they're on... ...let's call it a revenue-raising mode. It will also brick mobile apps on iOS and iPadOS 16 or lower. 1/4

Tomorrow at 4pm UTC Ethereum Builders Live with @jchaskin22 and @SamExotic3 of @LiquityProtocol We’ll dive into how Liquity built a fully immutable protocol for minting the decentralized stablecoin BOLD and explore the different ways users can earn yield with BOLD. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@BjarturTomas @mr_ligi I'd take up gardening, grow tomatoes and some stuff for self consumption

Google: "What if search… was all AI?" DuckDuckGo: "What if we just let users choose?"

Should have used @LiquityProtocol BOLD

This chart is bonkers. I think there's two possible explanations for why the UK runs so far ahead of other European countries – neither of them good. And the annual April jump speaks to a wider issue. For more detail, see my column in this weekend's Observer (link below).

Will probably charge you $1000 for it too

This is amazing. Do this: 1. Set model to Opus 4.8 2. Reasoning effort to /ultracode Enables Claude Code's new Dynamic Workflows. Claude will autonomously detect complex tasks, write an orchestration script, and spawn an agent swarm.

Google might delete a document calling out someone who wronged you. @fileverse won’t. They have no business seeing your documents. In fact they literally can’t see your documents because they’re encrypted. Try ddocs.new and keep your callout docs safe from Google

So apparently, the Google Doc got private because Google thinks it's against it's TOS? Don't people use Google Docs for these reasons all of the time, though? Now I have to see if I can get this resolved.
