Developer tip: don't pick a fight with fundamental paradoxes. AI can't help you. Decentralisation can't help you. Nothing can help you. Fundamental paradoxes have a perfect record against software developers, every win a knockout.

Claude rewards those who know what they want to get done. Claude ruthlessly punishes those who do not.

Every approach we are pursing for quantum computing had its best-ever year last year. -Neutral Atom -Trapped Ion -Superconducting -Majorana They are vastly different physical architectures. Yet last year EVERY ONE OF THEM achieved a milestone that fundamentally changed its trajectory from theoretical to scalable. If you're building on elliptic curve cryptography in 2026, good luck with your marketing strategy.

elliptic curve cryptography is ngmi.

@Tim Bouma Good sir, what is the performance hit on your dilithium test relay would you say? Would it be pretty negligible in a personal or small-community context, only really rears its head when you get past x volume or y concurrency or however else you've looked at trying to quantify the performance hit?

Note for app developers: What people should want < What people do want

These headlines are going to keep coming all through 2026. People will miss the big picture, pointing out that this part is wrong, or famous so and so disputed that part, etc., trying to poke holes in each headline and paper. Some of the holes they poke will be right, some wrong. But the bigger picture is that the world, by the end of 2026, is going to be taking all this far more seriously than at the start, and if your business model relies on the world not taking all this very seriously then you're going to be in trouble.

Imagine how wasteful bitcoin mining would look to a sufficiently-advanced AI. All that electricity, all that compute, with the AI pulling its hair out and wanting to scream GIVE IT TO ME!
