surprise, surprise: Trump gave #DavidSacks (pro #Putin, anti-#Ukraine All In Podcast broligarch and America's "crypto & AI czar") a waiver on any and all financial conflicts of interest that could result from Sacks using taxpayer money to enrich himself by investing in his crypto & AI scams.

(i will note that Sacks claims to have divested himself of his crypto investments but i find it impossible to believe he isn't at least indirectly financially exposed to the crypto market)

Remember, it was Sacks who helped propose the #StrategicCryptoReserve which proposed that US taxpayers invest in the same 5 cryptocurrencies held by Sacks's company #Bitwise.

The Lever · Trump Issues Ethics Waiver For His AI/Crypto CzarThe White House granted the waiver to David Sacks a month after Trump fired the director of the independent agency charged with enforcing federal ethics statutes.

A whopping 44% optimization found for my #Python #Sudoku solver. Replacing `set[int]` by just `int` + plain #bitwise operations, the same dataset runs in `0.258` seconds instead of `0.372`. I suspect this increase has to do with cutting out the abstraction code of the #CPython `set` implementation, and more efficient IPC with the workers. 🫧

I am stunned that besides optimizing the #algorithm, there's so much to gain from optimizing the implementation. Onwards! ⏩

FosstodonRick Wong – Tech & code  (@ryguw@fosstodon.org)How it's going? Good, spent some time again optimizing my little #Python #Sudoku solver using backtracking. Little recap: at first it ran for `35` seconds to solve 352 sudokus of mixed difficulty. Optimizing the #algorithm and improving the implementation line by line, it now takes just `0.372` seconds. That's like going from 10 fps to 940 fps! 😄 The biggest performance gains were:
