Finally excited to share this. For the past 2-3 months I've been building this Galamsey Tracker.
A free site that uses satellite data to show, every week, where land is being cleared in Ghana's southern gold belt, and if there's a licence to mine there.

I made this tweet 6 wks before ChatGPT launched.
At that time, $ASML was at its lowest value it would be in the last 5yrs.
A one-time buy and forget amount of
$1000 was worth $3500 today
Another note to self:
Buy and hold until China figures out EUV lithography (2030)
🔥Not just the speed, it's the coverage as well. They have 5G in the villages on Safaricom.
I was in a village called Tiwi, near Mombasa in Kenya. The place had 5G covering every corner.

Following up on this, I opened up two models (Qwen3.5-9B and Ministral 3 8B), mech-interp style, to see what changes inside when the same MoMo request comes in Twi or Twi-English, especially in scenarios where the agent failed
Wrote up the details here: geeksilas.bearblog.dev/insid…

MoMo scam calls and texts are incredibly annoying and in this era i figured why not use RL to catch the bad actors
I built sika-agent, an open RL environment for training AI agents that refuse these scams in English, Twi and especially Twi–English, because that mix is how I hear most people actually talk.
On results: Qwen3.5-9B completes 86% in English and 51% in Twi. The frontier models I ran stay at 90% or above in every language (about 240 tasks per model). That gap is what training small, local-language agents here should close.
What is actually happening at wise? 😞
Please retweet. @Wise has blindsided us and put our business at risk. This is insane.
We’ve been a Wise customer for years, using their USD bank account to accept payments from our US clients.
Today, I discovered that Wise has capped how much we can send or withdraw from our account at roughly 40% of our usual monthly volume.
No advance notice. No explanation.
We’re suddenly at risk of being unable to make payments on time.
Luckily, we have other accounts. Some clients also pay us in Bitcoin. But most of our money comes into Wise.
How can @Wise do this after we’ve been a customer for years and processed millions of dollars through it?
Customer support can’t help us. We’ve filed a complaint, but who knows if it will go anywhere.
In the meantime, we can’t get our money out. We’re being held hostage.

It's 2am now and I'm convinced that it's not a completely bad idea to go and start a farm at this point.
