"Divisions between traditional and crypto finance seemed to blur. Portfolio managers are modeling cash flows based on the yields of stablecoins. BlackRock and Fidelity hoovered up bitcoins for ETFs. Banks wanted to put funds on the blockchain, while digital token companies tried to become banks."
It Was Supposed to Be Crypto’s Year. Then Came the Crash.
Crypto-market turmoil intensified this week, with bitcoin shedding more than 10% and over $10,000 in value.

tbh I love the idea of that for a token-based strategy in the future "swing or no balls" is just a funny concept

Their eagerness to spit out too much text is a very general problem with LLMs. As long as billing is token based there is little incentive to fix it either.

Amazon CloudFront now supports CBOR Web Tokens and Common Access Tokens
Amazon CloudFront now supports https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8392 and Common Access Tokens (CAT), enabling secure token-based authentication and authorization with CloudFront Functions at CloudFront edge locations. CWT provides a compact, binary alternative to JSON Web Tokens (JWT) using https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8949 encoding, while CAT extends CWT with additional fine grained access control including URL patterns, IP restrictions, and HTTP method limitations. Both token types use https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8152 for enhanced security and allow developers to implement lightweight, high-performance authentication mechanisms directly at the edge with sub-millisecond execution times. CWT and CAT are ideal for performance critical applications such as live video streaming platforms that need to validate viewer access tokens millions of times per second, or IoT applications where bandwidth efficiency is crucial. These tokens also provide a single, standardized method for content authentication across multi-CDN deployments, simplifying security management and preventing the need for unique configurations for each CDN provider. For example, a media company can use CAT to create tokens that restrict access to specific video content based on subscription tiers, geographic location, and device types, all validated consistently across CloudFront and other CDN providers without requiring application network calls. With CWT and CAT support, you can validate incoming tokens, generate new tokens, and implement token refresh logic within CloudFront Functions. The feature integrates seamlessly with CloudFront Functions KeyValueStore for secure key management. CWT and CAT support for CloudFront Functions is available at no additional charge in all CloudFront edge locations. To learn more about CloudFront Functions CBOR Web Token support, see the https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/cwt-support-cloudfront-functions.html.

So the further from the examples it's seen in training you can get the style/structure of the request, the less likely it'll be to pick a first-token refusal based on content alone, and that compounds the further you can get the models output to drift away from the style it's trained to refuse with

OpenAI's GPT-5.1-Codex-Max handles multi-hour coding sessions with million-token context. The "compaction" feature for multi-window workflows means it can maintain project context across different codebases simultaneously. This moves AI from task-based assistance to true long-term collaboration. #AI

LLMs are “sequence transduction” models designed to do math on a sequence of tokens, like text. People frequently *represent* info as text, but the text is not the info itself.

LLM = based on these tokens what’s next token
Hypothetical World Model = based on raw info, predict unknown raw info

The compute cost to run physics-based reasoning models is insane. Other platforms will charge per token. Higgsfield gives you UNLIMITED Nano Banana 2 generations at 65% OFF.

It dynamically reorders experts based on workload statistics, constructs replicas considering static topology, and solves optimal token assignments for each batch to achieve dynamic load balancing.

genuinely though i want to do more super-thin prints like this. it's kinda fun!

as mentioned earlier i want to print a nice keyring tag and some little scifi-style clear chip token things, but now i'm also thinking about a "business card" logo thingy based on my icon :3
