Congratulations Lithos team!
Mining pool logic just moved on chain. Lithos Mainnet is up. Decentralized block production starts here. All are welcome. Let's hit some blocks.

Honestly it’s hard to anticipate 10 yrs from now but I am not saving for my daughter’s colleges, I think there will be better places to learn, like on the job+AI/VR/AR+highly regarded open sources. We also started homeschooling which has been a huge leap of faith, breaking from normal conventions.
Je ne sais pas si vous mesurez ce qui est en train de se passer. Alex Karp, le patron de Palantir, ne va plus chercher ses talents à Harvard. Il les forme lui-même. Des jeunes de 18 ans, sans diplôme, choisis sur leur seul talent, qui codent sur de vrais projets et lisent de la philosophie politique entre deux sprints. Il appelle ça « le diplôme Palantir ». Et aujourd'hui le New York Post titre que les boîtes tech lancent leurs propres programmes parce qu'elles ne peuvent plus compter sur l'Ivy League. Ce n'est pas une anecdote RH. C'est un basculement de civilisation. Pendant des décennies, les entrepreneurs ont confié à l'université la mission la plus sacrée qui soit : former les esprits. Ils comprennent aujourd'hui que cette mission a été trahie. Les institutions censées produire des penseurs libres produisent des conformistes. Le mérite a été remplacé par des critères opaques. L'enseignement est devenu catéchisme. Paul Graham l'avait vu avant tout le monde. Alors ils font ce que font les bâtisseurs quand un système les trahit. Ils ne le réforment pas. Ils en construisent un autre, à côté. Elon n'a pas attendu que la NASA se réveille, il a fait SpaceX. Il n'a pas réformé les médias, il a racheté la place publique. Les entrepreneurs ne cherchent plus à convaincre l'État. Ils font l'État, partout où l'État a abdiqué. Relisez La Grève d'Ayn Rand. Nous y sommes. Les bureaucrates gardent les titres, les budgets, les bâtiments. Mais ils perdent la seule chose qui compte : la confiance. Aux États-Unis, à peine 28 % des gens font encore confiance aux médias. Un plus bas historique. Plus personne ne croit ceux qui prétendent nous dire quoi penser. On entend partout que l'école est finie. Je pense exactement l'inverse. Ce n'est pas l'école qui est morte. Ce sont les institutions qui l'ont confisquée. L'école, la vraie, celle de l'Académie d'Athènes, des ateliers de la Renaissance, du maître et de l'apprenti, va renaître. Plus exigeante. Plus juste. Sans dette, sans dogme, sans diplôme comme rente à vie. Une école qui ne fabriquera plus des diplômés, mais des polymathes. Des esprits libres, capables de coder, de penser, de construire et de douter. Ce sont eux qui créeront la valeur des cinquante prochaines années. J'ai appris à coder seul à 12 ans. Aucun amphi ne m'a appris ce que j'ai appris en construisant. Je sais ce que devient un talent quand on le laisse respirer. L'université a eu des siècles pour former les meilleurs esprits. Les entrepreneurs vont le faire en une décennie. La grande reconstruction a commencé.

Babe, it’s not hyper-inflation, it’s acceleration…
JUST IN: Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent declares the U.S. economy has entered “the acceleration phase.”

Blink Labs is the true definition of grit! 🙌
The team is cooking. Dingo development speed is on par with much better funded teams from larger engineering firms. Dingo is integrating next-generation protocols like Leios and Peras in preparation for the Dijkstra era. Dingo is making blocks. Node diversity is here.

Jurrien has amazing charts, really art work. Says Bitcoin winter may be over.
Finally, Bitcoin has been on the move after holding the $60k support zone for almost a year. That’s how long a typical Bitcoin winter lasts, so I’m sensing that a new 4-year cycle bull market is underway. Note that the Z-score of BTC/gold has turned positive after being -100%. In the past that has generally been confirmation of a bottom. What does all of the above suggest? We are in a new secular regime of a higher cost of capital, which suggests that governments will respond with that oldest trick in the book: financial repression.

A GPU PoW, hard asset in AgentFi is a very interesting experiment.
Ergo is gonna run very hard. In the age of AI and hacks, high security blockchains will be critical. Ergo is one of them. With over 85% of the supply in circulation and only 97 million total tokens. Look out...👀 ergo:native

Knowledge is power, or in this case, knowing how much potency your money used to have 🥴
Replying to @UziCryptoo
Minimum wage in 1963 in the US was $1.25 That was 5 silver quarters. Today the melt value of those 5 silver quarters is $57.90. Instead, US Federal minimum wage is $7.25 That's the whole ruse...that's the whole game. @wbmosler

Wow, it’s incredible to think that no matter how bad you think America is… it’s still way better than most countries.
I’m just a white South African being left alone to thrive in Alabama God is good

Quite true. Same could be said for fire and electricity.
A civilization cannot function if every innovation is evaluated primarily by imagining the most terrifying thing that could theoretically happen.

Wow, it’s hard to grasp how fast the USD melts. 🫠 …Or the power of compounding interest for that matter.

We have entered the "loot the Treasury" phase
BREAKING: President Trump says he will issue a $5,000 "dividend" to every adult citizen in the US if the Republicans win the midterm elections. There are currently ~245 million US citizens age 18+, meaning this dividend would cost ~$1.2 trillion. This would mark the biggest economic stimulus payment since the pandemic.

Interesting, tailcat does seem like an easier way to connect to multi machines in my house and possibly outside…
Calling it now, @Tailscale will be one of the most important parts of the agentic tech stack. Once a non-tech workflow is embedded into existing applications, it's a wrap.
