ai-generated text always does this. it's very annoying
"here's a secret most people miss"
the thing about ai is it doesn't know how to tell between descriptive and persuasive writing. it's all just text.
the structure is ALWAYS the same:
1. XYZ happened
2. "but this is what the experts are missing"
3. incredibly obvious consequence of XYZ happening
it tells a lot about the text data the AIs were trained on. most of the writing in the past maybe 15 years was written by journalists who write by the word and want to persuade others that their writing (however banal) is worth reading
most writing is for the piece's specific audience and not for a general one, but journalists love to take topics nobody cares about and force it on the reader. AI is doing the same thing now.

everything is insecure
you’re going to need to:
- fab your own chips for your devices
- develop a personal software stack on a bespoke ISA
- avoid PHP, Typescript or Go
- lay your own personal undersea cables (if applicable)
only then will you be safe from CVE hellscape
so ive decided to heads down spend time to really understand TowerBFT
surely this part of solana won't be irrelevant any time soon

huge accomplishment.
congrats @bw_solana, the entire @anza_xyz team, many of whom have been grinding nonstop since years before the network went live and any of this was validated as being worth anything in a crowded landscape.
engineers relentlessly improving performance.

Alpenglow is live! It's been a crazy grind over the past 20 months bringing this to mainnet.
Huge shoutout to the Anza engineering team, @TheWattenhofer and the research team, the Anza security team, all our auditors and bug bounty participants.
And of course the validator operators who spent countless hours with their own hardware to help us test and bring this to mainnet.
We couldn't have done this without you all! Lets AlpenGO.
