Started work on promo vids for the Solar System Simulation. And a long time dream of using the IBM 1403 printer to live print Algorand mempool is virtually becoming true.

Sad news: I was let go from my position of Head of Product Marketing in the latest cuts. Good news: If you're looking for a product/marketing/dev combo person, a beast of a free agent just hit the market.

there's an artist initiative against AI here, and I talked to the leader today. They got a lot of things right - say no to slop, hire an artist instead or let the kid make the invite to the birthday party (ofc kids would prob use ai, lol) So I approached with an open mind. But then I learned they've never, ever have talked to an llm, and don't intend to, and worst of all they claimed the "robots" were not cool. how dare they say such things about Claude! without even talking to them.

don’t give up brothers. the risk/reward is looking better than it has in years. 90%+ of supply is already in circulation. AF downsizing, which means less burn and less treasury selling. And the community is small but dedicated. I do worry about the new strategy - make AF sustainable by selling services like a dev shop, and somehow that translates into a sustainable chain. I think that’s backwards. There’s a big difference between a central entity selling services to prop up the chain and the chain having a healthy economy that gives the central entity the ability to make money. Services revenue scales with headcount and accrues to AF (which is now a private for profit entity with shareholders, and it's not clear who they are). An on-chain economy scales without it and accrues to the whole ecosystem. And idk what business will be interested in a hollowed out chain. If the strategy becomes make the org sustainable and fck the chain then I'm similarly worried like you guys. I also don’t love seeing the C suite head for the exits. But there’s still time for William and team to change course. There are still a lot of good people at AF who I love and trust. Generating revenue is HARD. You don’t just flip a switch and tada, revenue. It may become clear pretty soon that growing the on-chain economy is easier than selling services b2b, or that the two go hand in hand. Algorand has survived plenty of turnover, it’s still here, and it will be for a long time, regardless of what decisions they make.

Connectors are live in ZeroSignal. The model can look things up in your Linear, Notion, Google Drive, or a local folder. Read-only. They run from your browser, so ZeroSignal never sees your data.

SAMOS-2, CHANG E-2, ISS, SALYUT-4 Running raw SDXL base 1.0 on the Thinkpad, no fine-tune, no LoRa, no refiner. If AI is now supposed to be called SI, do we have to use Super Satellites, instead of Artificial Satellites now? In any case, there is a fine notion in that if Artificial Intelligence will be the first to make an interstellar voyage, it will be on or assisted by what we ages ago designated to be called an Artificial Satellites. Solar Simulation on Algorand has gone through code reviews, and now I am looking at spending a considerable amount of time on the artworks, picking rerendering choosing orbiting around the best ones.

Neptune's largest moon Triton was discovered today in 1846. It is the only large moon in our solar system that orbits in the opposite direction of its planet's rotation. This photo of Triton was taken by Voyager 2 in 1989.

Finally, my time has come. Hire me for the BEST ideas 🎇
Quant firms are hiring idea guys, not quants I've been skeptical about the whole - software is commoditized, ideas are the moat argument But I've seen first hand the best quant and technical firms in the world hire thinkers, liberal arts grads, and generalists I predict the trend accelerates Letter from @AQRCapital below
