Jack Dorsey working on Bluetooth messaging app, Bitchat

techcrunch.com Amanda Silberling 2026-02-23 18:26:26

Block CEO and Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey wrote in an X post on Sunday night that he spent his weekend creating an app called Bitchat (presumably a combination of the words “bit” and “chat,” and not the other combination of words that it looks like). Bitchat is a messaging app that operates through Bluetooth mesh networks, allowing users to send messages without Wi-Fi or cell reception.

Some also wonder whether it will have a mode where more than one human can join the chat in a study group mode. OpenAI did not r

New sphere-packing record stems from an unexpected source

The advantage of Rogers’ method was that you didn’t have to start with a particularly efficient lattice to get an efficient sphere packing. You just had to choose the right ellipsoid. But this introduced a new complication. Unlike a sphere, which is completely defined by a single number — its radius — an ellipsoid is defined by several axes of different lengths. The higher the dimension, the greater the number of directions you can stretch your ellipsoid in, and the more options you have for wha
