High-agency people seem to have this weird immunity to embarrassment. Getting rejected? Not embarrassing, that’s just data collection. Looking naive? Not embarrassing, that’s just information asymmetry you’re fixing. Breaking minor social rules? Not embarrassing, most rules are just Schelling points anyway. What would be embarrassing to them is not trying. That’s the thing they can’t live with.

TERAFAB: the next step to becoming a galactic civilization Together with @SpaceX & @xAI, we're building the largest chip manufacturing facility ever (1TW/year) – combining logic, memory & advanced packaging under one roof. To harness as much power as possible from the Sun, we need to send 100 million tons of solar capture into space – per year. This requires massive scale. – Capability to launch millions of tons of mass into orbit – Solar-powered AI satellites – Millions of @Tesla_Optimus robots to help build it out All of these need chips: 100-200GW of chips for Optimus alone, plus terawatts for solar-powered AI satellites. That's more than all the chip manufacturers in the world combined can provide today, or even by 2030 (based on projected production growth). We're building TERAFAB to close the gap between today’s chip production & the future's demand – a future among the stars terafab.ai

we’ll be very upset if the gold isn’t there

Here's the worlds first AMD GPU driven over USB3. From a Mac! Linux and Windows should work too, it's just libusb. Available today in tinygrad master, use an ADT-UT3G to connect the GPU to your USB port. You have no idea of the level of engineering that went into this.

Get your popcorn. Turn your @cspan on. I’m introducing an amendment that will put our country on a path to fiscal responsibility and stability.

The Bitcoin white paper introduces a peer-to-peer electronic cash system for small casual transactions, enabling payments directly between parties without a trusted third party. It uses proof-of-work to timestamp transactions, creating a public, unalterable chain. This solves the double-spending problem, allowing a secure and transparent network where nodes collectively agree on transaction history. If your system doesn't do this... It isn't bitcoin.

Who amongst these is most likely to be Satoshi?

In the 7 years I've been into #bitcoin I cannot recall a single time anyone expressed concern over the actual reason why mining pools are centralizing. Instead people waste time worrying about geographical location of hardware manufacturing / operation, which is a non-issue. Hardware is very well decentralized and will continue to be. Earlier this year I wrote about the 'Financialization of Mining Pools' and the block withholding attack, which is really just a bug in Bitcoin Core and the root cause for pool centralization. Read it here: upstreamdata.com/the-fragili… Bitcoin mining cannot scale if everyone is forced to solo mine, which is the only way you can guarantee you don't get block withheld at present... Incumbent pools can prevent competition by this attack vector, and retain market monopoly on block template creation. The fiat maximalists, who have infinite money, can buy and control the majority of block templates by this method (arguably they already have). By this means the fiat maxis can completely co-opt block creation and enforce Tx censorship. The solution (example below) would probably require a hard fork... Even if a soft fork patch was figured out, the incumbent pools would not enforce it because it would take away their monopoly.

One of my all time favourite quotes.
