Indeed, it would be difficult for Iran to receive payment for passage through the straight or Hormuz without crypto or fir North Korea's ransomwwre economy to be so lucrative.
You're speaking complete nonsense, considering there is no evidence of anyone having paid Iran in crypto. Iran had been receiving payments in the Chinese currency.
It's a bit unfortunate that [1] doesn't seem to mention Fleece[2], since Fleece is an already existing, solid format with very similar properties (JSON-compatible data format, uses offsets for sharing, allows for cheap updates, and uses binary search on arrays to achieve O(ln n) lookups in large tables or arrays, etc.)
highly recommend twirp, even in current year. connectrpc seems to have stalled so there isn't a ton of languages w/server support, and because of the grpc interop on top of their own protocol it's a bit of an undertaking to roll your own.
the twirp spec however is so simple you can throw together your own code generator in an afternoon for whatever language you want.
So many little things for parents. Your list is good. I was also struck by "early baby", for example, for subtext children will only get when they re-watch in 20 years.
So you can't even debug or check the LLM's output for correctness? Good luck with that.
If anything, the best use for LLMs is to produce code in very strong languages like Lean, where correctness of the code can be established. Just trusting machine code output would be irresponsible.
Where do you see sunshine? Are the "audits" public at all? It's indistinguishable from just having Musk kill every agency he dislikes with no further proof, while siphoning data to some unspecified server. The timeline also hints at no serious audit taking place.
