A research paper from Block AI introduces dialectical autocoding, a structured adversarial cooperation framework designed for AI-assisted software development. By pairing a player agent for implementation with a coach agent for rigorous critique and validation, the open-source g3 system enables enhanced autonomous progress on complex tasks, producing robust, well-tested code while bypassing context window constraints and human oversight needs. Case studies showcase completions of projects like calculator APIs, visual diff viewers, iOS clients, and terminal-based git repository explorers with side-by-side branch diffs. Block emphasizes how the coach delivers precise feedback, such as "Missing HTTPS enforcement" despite player claims of success, ensuring appropriate requirement compliance. Comparative tests also reveal g3 outperforming platforms like Goose and Cursor in completeness. This new paradigm enhances efficiency and accessibility in programming, empowering more autonomous coding and broader software innovation.

Anthony Milton and Clara Shikhelman's Chaincode Labs' report assesses quantum computing's potential risks to Bitcoin's security. It details a dual migration strategy: a seven-year long-term path for comprehensive upgrades and a two-year Q-day contingency plan for rapid responses. Approximately 6.51 million bitcoin, valued at over $700 billion, remain vulnerable due to address reuse or exposed public keys. The authors emphasize that hashed addresses without reuse offer inherent protection, while quantum threats primarily target signatures, enabling fund theft, over mining centralization. "Funds that are carefully managed... are already protected from quantum attacks," they note. Optimistically, ongoing cryptographic advancements and industry adoptions by firms like Google promise solutions, allowing users to safeguard digital assets and continue to innovate in bitcoin development.

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), now disbanded, failed to reduce federal spending, which reached $7.6 trillion in the first 11 months of 2025, exceeding prior years and aligning with projections, as analyzed by Alex Nowrasteh and Krit Chanwong in the Laissez-Faire, Laissez-Passer newsletter. Entitlements drove persistent outlays, requiring congressional action beyond DOGE's reach. Yet, DOGE engineered a remarkable nine percent cut in federal employment, eliminating 271,000 positions in under 10 months, the largest peacetime reduction on record, surpassing Clinton-era pace. "DOGE brought down federal employment to late 2014 levels in less than 10 months," the authors note, highlighting rapid buyouts and attrition. This swift downsizing signals a potential for leaner administration, and future reforms by Congress to enhance operational efficiency.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has charged Danh C. Vo, founder and CEO of VBit Technologies Corp., with defrauding investors of $48.5 million through misleading bitcoin mining hosting agreements that promised passive income. According to the article by Micah Zimmerman, Vo raised over $95.6 million from 6,400 investors between 2018 and 2022, overselling agreements beyond operational capacity while misappropriating funds for personal gambling, cryptocurrency purchases, and family gifts. "While some investors received returns, others suffered substantial losses," the complaint noted. Vo allegedly misrepresented mining rig operations and fled the U.S. after his 2021 divorce. The case underscores the need for transparency in mining, especially hosting, offering a sober reminder for investors to verify operational claims amid growing regulatory efforts to combat fraud and protect individuals.
