"No one cares about decentralization." We'll see about that. Did you know the US military created ARPANET (internet version 1) as a decentralized compute network? I'm becoming increasingly confident that decentralized AI will have strong PMF and get huge financial backing

60 Minutes is pivoting away from journalism to being a podcast. The news landscape in the US continues to evolve. I watched 60 minutes for years. I’m formally done. They’re repositioning and heading away from what made it such a great program. RIP

These annual price increases for @evernote are astonishing. This most recent will force me to Obsidian. Anyone ever migrated Evernote to Obsidian?

Will AGI be a distinct, standalone product release ("Introducing AGI 1.0"), or is it just going to arrive via a standard model update like GPT-10 or Opus 10? How should we be thinking about this?

Toughest truth I've had to learn: growth is directly correlated to the amount of pain you can take.

If some podcaster sells his/her bag, and then you feel like you must do the same, then you don’t (and never did) know what you’re doing. I’m offering a critique of process, not a critique of investment(s).

AI agents don't browse block explorers. They query, decide, and act thousands of times a minute. An agent asked to assess DeFi risk can't parse raw logs. It needs structured, normalized, queryable data. The agent economy runs on infrastructure most people never see.

Hey @graphprotocol delegators! Are you sleeping? Its time to wake up. If you look at explorer and you see your indexer is giving 0.00% then you are NOT earning! thegraph.com/explorer/partic…

The older I get, the more I believe that a “career” is actually just a decision someone makes on the types of problems they like working on. Finding joy and satisfaction in the problems themselves, or in the pursuit of solving them, is probably the path to a successful career.

The skills required to lead a foundation (in crypto, maybe outside too) are more akin to those of a President or Prime Minister than a CEO.

Replying to @graphprotocol
@graphprotocol runs on Firehose. Indexers serving billions of queries use the data stream that Pinax helps maintain. That's the production scale this infrastructure has been proven at. More at the link in the reply.
