also if using claude fable or opus then ask it to always check its work for bugs and regressions with codex

code with kimi and get it checked with a glm 5.3 subagent all coordinated by the pi harness

switched over to max thinking kimi k3 on pi.dev harness and haven't gone back. served via deepinfra or fireworks

.@stripe runs a closed monetary network and they see stable coins (which are not interoperable) as being their business's future. in order to lock in a moat around their stable coins they need people to use it and they see large payment volumes going through open router

good news: lots of forks in the last few days. the one by @npub1gc6…uyek seems to have the KVM test suite wired into github https://github.com/fort-nix/nix-bitcoin/forks

yeah i'm going to have to created a paired down fork of the system and get the test suite setup. i can't go to anything else. it worked so good

no wait...it should be an investment but now it is a consumption good because because before money was worthless it used to go up in value relative to the money supply....
no wait! its the other way around.

hopefully the coldcard incident has taught us that multi vendor is the way

2026-08-09 17:48:05 UTC

claude fable has become insufferable. unnecessarily opinionated. always stopping on auto mode to ask a permission for a trivial task even after being given explicit permission to continue autonomously.
kimik3 with pi.dev is really the only auto option with frontier level intelligence

i agree. no malice obviously from their part.

2026-08-07 18:14:50 UTC

as a long time listener of @npub1qny…95gx and @npub1guh…6hjy it is pretty tough to listen to then right now. i'm sure they are embarrassed but it is pretty tough earning back listeners trust. they have been amazing educators but it is wild to see them invest in a security company and not demand a security audit as part of their investment or a condition of their share ownership.
presumably the only reason they invested was that nvk and dochex wanted some exit liquidity

2026-08-07 18:11:28 UTC

run kimi k3 against any system you maintain. it is so so good at finding bugs and then just ask it to fix them and document them. super simple.

warning on libngu years ago
https://github.com/switck/libngu/blob/0cf31968852ef8312254067dae274c8fd093648b/ngu/random.c#L55
I'm pretty sure this guy dochex had to have known there was a problem in the code, he wrote both the library and the implementation of the library

totally get that. could just be a developer having fun with zero malice

what if we now know that the lead and maybe only developer at coinkite wrote all the sub modules (under a pseudonym)

this article assumes doc_hex Peter Gray didn't understand what he was doing https://insider.btcpp.dev/p/when-randombytes-runs-but-doesnt
but if libngu was written by him (pseudonym switck) then perhaps that is a wrong interpretation

i agree. would there have been a motivation from a licensing standpoint to be using an outside library written by someone else?
i also struggle to see why he would do all this. obvious the "CK" is in the username of the account so it wasn't that obscure
then there is this twitter identity fake conversation from switck and himself. all for what? diversion?

you don't pseudonymously write the core library then implement the function incorrectly in your own firmware code. something is not right here....
