Dvorak's COMDEX chili recipe noagendafun.com/dvoraks-comd…

I can't say this enough: Don't trust phone calls. Don't trust emails. Don't trust anything. Everyone is a scammer. Never forget that.

Researchers pulled a 256-bit encryption key out of a device by filming its power LED. The status light on a smart card reader flickers in sync with the chip's power draw, and that power draw leaks the key. They recovered a full ECDSA key from 16 meters away, through a window, using a hijacked security camera. No malware, no contact, just video of a status light. The trick: a camera's rolling shutter turns 60 frames per second into 60,000 brightness samples per second. The light that tells you a device is on tells an attacker what it is computing.

> Indeed, given the current staggering rate of hardware progress, I now think it’s a live possibility that we’ll have a fault-tolerant quantum computer running Shor’s algorithm before the next US presidential election. – Scott Aaronson (11/13/25)

UK energy is 4x more expensive than US energy. That's before Trump starts drilling for more. All of this is purely academic. No AI companies are coming to the UK to pay 400% energy bills AND have their staff pay 45% tax and pay 15% NI. Here's what IS going to happen - the USA is going to have cheap energy and lower taxes and the talented British AI people are going to get special visas to move to the USA. Trump is playing to win it all, not to divide the pie - he's just announced $500B funding to do this. If the UK wants to be part of the AI revolution, we need cheap energy and lower taxes. Until those two things happen, we can have all the debates in the world about where to put a data centre but it's not happening.

Ross was just granted a FULL AND UNCONDITIONAL PARDON by @realDonaldTrump. Words cannot express how grateful we are. President Trump is a man of his word and he just saved Ross's life. ROSS IS A FREE MAN!!!!!

Get home safely, Ross.

Bitcoin was not discovered, it was invented by Satoshi Nakamoto. It did not exist before he created it.

Cafes are for having a small coffee and 4 cigarettes in the mid afternoon not working on your bullshit startup that sells underpants for dogs

The persecution of Julian Assange is a crime against the Constitution. #JohrnalismIsNotACrime #FreeAssangeNOW #DayX

Loading the PSBT into @SparrowWallet gives some more info.

It’s very important to remember during the ETF excitement today that Ross Ulbricht was a non violent first time offender, who has more than paid his debt to society and deserves clemency and forgiveness.

What bitcoin’s critics don’t understand is monetary economics, computer science, software engineering, network protocols, and electrical systems.

Julian Assange is a political prisoner.

Anthony Bourdain said: "Eat at a local restaurant tonight. Get the cream sauce. Have a cold pint at 4 o’clock in a mostly empty bar. Go somewhere you’ve never been. Listen to someone you think may have nothing in common with you. Order the steak rare. Eat an oyster. Have a negroni. Have two. Be open to a world where you may not understand or agree with the person next to you, but have a drink with them anyways. Eat slowly. Tip your server. Check in on your friends. Check in on yourself. Enjoy the ride." (Ht Jamieson Faulcon)
