If you want a little art, you could go to The White Cube, Tate Modern or National gallery but I'd recommend a walk through Hyde Park to ✨The Wallace Collection✨. Fun fact: the staircase contains the first depiction of banknotes in human history - the bannister is from an old French bank, and was sold after the revolution.

Rather than letting OpenAI and Anthropic train on your projects, why not contribute to models that reward and acknowledge your contributions, and let you proft from their use? A fascinating chat with @Living_IP.

⚠️Do you read Solana transactions? Then you’re affected by the Transaction V1 update. There’s lots of good stuff: no need for address lookup tables when you need a lot of accounts, priority fees are part of the transaction, and less need for bundling transactions together now you can fit more instructions in. ✨But you’re going to need to update your software✨
