Малайзия борется с незаконной добычей биткоинов

По решению суда 19 августа власти Малайзии уничтожили 985 машин для майнинга биткоинов на сумму около 452 500 долларов. Машины, изъятые в ходе правоохранительных операций с 2022 по апрель 2023 года, были раздавлены паровым катком в районе Перак Тенга.

Это действие было предпринято после ареста семи человек, вовлеченных в незаконные операции по добыче биткоинов, которые предположительно крали электроэнергию для обеспечения своей деятельности. Подозреваемые были задержаны отдельно на прошлой неделе, в том числе трое местных жителей и четверо иностранных граждан.

Начальник полиции округа Сепанг ACP Ван Камарул Азран Ван Юсоф заявил, что у этих лиц ранее не было судимостей, но их незаконная деятельность нанесла значительный ущерб стране. По оценкам властей, Малайзия потеряла целых 3,4 миллиарда малайзийских ринггитов (757 миллионов долларов) в период с 2018 по 2023 год из-за кражи электроэнергии, связанной с майнингом биткоина.

Заместитель министра энергетики и водных ресурсов Акмаль Насрулла Мохд Насир подчеркнул растущую распространенность этой проблемы. Он подчеркнул пагубное влияние кражи электроэнергии для криптодобычи на Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) и страну в целом.

“Кража электроэнергии теми, кто майнит криптовалюту, происходит потому, что они считают, что эта деятельность не может быть обнаружена из-за отсутствия счетчиков в их помещениях. Однако у энергоснабжающих компаний есть различные методы для обнаружения необычного потребления энергии в том или ином районе ”, - сказал Насир.

ARK Invest Heavily Buys Crypto-Related Stocks: Lower Risk, or Double Pressure?

During Bitcoin's worst monthly performance in four years, ARK Invest, led by Cathie Wood, purchased $77 million worth of stock in crypto-related public companies in June, including Coinbase, Circle, and Bullish. The investment thesis suggests these stocks offer compliant exposure to the crypto sector without directly holding Bitcoin. However, analysis reveals significant drawbacks: these stocks exhibit nearly double the volatility of Bitcoin itself (68%-90% vs. 37.6% over 30 days) and only moderate correlation with Bitcoin prices (0.55-0.58 for several firms). This indicates investors are exposed to both partial crypto price movements and a full suite of company-specific business risks like earnings, competition, and financing. MicroStrategy (MSTR) is the closest to a pure Bitcoin proxy with high correlation and leverage (beta of 1.59). In contrast, Circle's price is heavily influenced by stablecoin competition, while Robinhood's diversified business buffers crypto downturns but also limits upside. Notably, some mining stocks (RIOT, MARA) have risen sharply in 2024 due to AI-related ventures, decoupling from Bitcoin's decline. The case of MicroStrategy highlights additional equity-specific risks like potential shareholder dilution and the breakdown of its premium valuation model (mNAV), which recently forced it to consider selling Bitcoin for liquidity. While some stocks like Coinbase have outperformed Bitcoin year-to-date, the data suggests investing in crypto equities generally amplifies volatility or layers on independent business risks compared to direct Bitcoin ownership.

DeepMind's Classic Masterpiece Crowned Again, ICML 2026 Awards Announced

ICML 2026 has announced its annual awards, with diffusion models and AI safety ethics taking center stage. The Outstanding Paper Award was shared by two diffusion model studies. One challenges a core assumption of diffusion language models (DLMs), arguing that their touted "arbitrary order generation" is a "flexibility trap" that harms performance. The other provides a high-accuracy sampling method, pushing the technical ceiling for diffusion models and log-concave distributions. A position paper winning the Outstanding Award raises a critical ethical concern: AI alignment research is unintentionally building a "censor's toolkit," where safety tools like RLHF can be repurposed for content control. Several papers received Honorable Mentions, spanning key areas: mapping where honesty emerges in RLHF-trained models, motion attribution in video generation, quantifying how much language models memorize, analyzing diffusion model consistency via random matrix theory, and providing a mathematical proof for the "grokking" phenomenon in a simple model. The Test of Time Award was given to DeepMind's 2016 seminal work "Asynchronous Methods for Deep Reinforcement Learning," recognizing the enduring impact of the A3C algorithm. Overall, the awards signal a shift in AI research from rapid expansion to deeper scrutiny—validating diffusion models as a major architectural contender while prompting serious ethical reflection within the safety community.

ARK's Massive Buying Spree in Crypto-Linked Stocks: Lower Risk, or Double the Pressure?

ARK Invest, led by Cathie Wood, significantly increased its holdings in crypto-related public stocks in June, purchasing $77 million worth of shares in Coinbase, Circle, and Bullish during Bitcoin's worst monthly performance in four years. The investment thesis is that these stocks offer regulated exposure to the crypto cycle without direct Bitcoin ownership. However, data analysis reveals significant downsides: these stocks exhibit nearly double the volatility of Bitcoin (68%-90% vs. 37.6% 30-day annualized volatility) and carry substantial company-specific risks like earnings, competition, and equity dilution, which account for much of their price movement. Only MicroStrategy closely tracks Bitcoin, acting as a leveraged proxy. Coinbase shows moderate correlation, while Circle and Robinhood have low correlation, being more influenced by stablecoin competition and diversified brokerage operations, respectively. Mining companies like RIOT and MARA have surged due to AI-related ventures, decoupling from Bitcoin's price. The case of Strategy highlights additional equity-structure risks, such as potential value erosion when its market value falls below its net asset value. Ultimately, investing in crypto stocks often means accepting amplified Bitcoin volatility or layering on unrelated business risks, rather than obtaining a safer alternative to direct cryptocurrency ownership.

Tsinghua University's Special Award Winner, Gu Yuxian, Joins DeepSeek

Tsinghua University's prestigious Graduate Special Scholarship recipient and 2021 Ph.D. candidate, Yuxian Gu, has officially joined DeepSeek. This news coincides with DeepSeek's major recruitment drive and the imminent launch of DeepSeek V4, on whose research paper Gu is listed as an author. A doctoral student in the Conversational AI group under Professor Minlie Huang at Tsinghua, Gu's research focuses on enhancing efficiency throughout the entire lifecycle of large language models. His key contributions span three areas: innovative methods for pre-training data selection (e.g., PDS), advanced knowledge distillation techniques for model compression (notably MiniLLM), and the development of efficient model architectures like Jet-Nemotron. His work has gained significant recognition, with nearly 5,000 citations on Google Scholar. Key publications include the highly cited surveys and papers on pre-trained models and the MiniLLM distillation method. As first author, he has presented at top-tier AI conferences including NeurIPS, ICLR, and ACL. One of his notable achievements is the Jet-Nemotron architecture, which combines Post-Neural Architecture Search (PostNAS) and a novel linear attention module called JetBlock. This model series demonstrates state-of-the-art performance rivaling larger models while achieving substantial efficiency gains in inference. Gu's expertise in creating powerful yet efficient AI systems aligns with industry needs, as evidenced by the adoption of his MiniLLM method by leading tech companies. His move to DeepSeek is anticipated to contribute further advancements in the field.
