Weekend project complete! I wanted to be able to write EVM Smart Contracts with Common Lisp. It's very low level, but still easier than writing byte codes.
Huge. Through Deel, a company can now fund payroll in dollars and their employees and contractors can receive it in stablecoins on Polygon within seconds.
24h ago Polygon reduced 250ms from the BlockTime
Today we are increasing 20 Million on the Gas Limit
This means more 16% TPS. Combined with yesterday's 14% we are talking about +32% TPS in less than 48 hours.
I told there will be more, and I will say it again 😉
Mudit Plainview:
I do my own mining and the engineers that work for me, work for me and they are engineers I know. I make it my business to be there and see to their work. I don't lose my transactions in the txpool and spend months fishing for them; I don't botch the upgrades and let a hard fork split the chain and ruin the whole network.
I'm fixed like no other company in this field and that's because Agglayer has just come in. I have a string of tools all ready to put to work. I have business connections so I can get the liquidity for defi, such things go by friendship in a rush like this. And this is why I can guarantee to start mining and put up the cash to back my word. I assure you, whatever the others promise to do, when it comes to the showdown, they won't be there…
Seems true, but important that previous steps along this path were deterministic. AIs add a new wrinkle into the software validation/verification process.
Assemblers were faster at writing binary than humans were.
Compilers were faster at writing assembly than humans were.
AIs are faster at writing compiled languages then humans are.
Deal with it. There's still plenty left for you to do.

It's not "parents money".
It's not luck.
It's consistency.
It's discipline.
I grind EVERYDAY to live this lifestyle.
The Polygon Chain just got faster. Again.
The Giugliano Upgrade is now live on mainnet, bringing:
• faster txn finality for payments apps (2s reduction)
• higher P2P throughput under load (4x increase)
• onchain gas fee transparency
The founder of Postman says you have to kill your existing org chart, especially if you're still operating with a pre ai hierarchy arrangement.
The modern org chart, according to @a85:
- wide span of control (even within exec team)
- work directly with ICs, not through layers
- either you're building, or you're selling
Projects are led by staff/principal engineers with high agency. They see across the board as well as deep in the stack.
Product managers are building APIs and prototyping in Claude instead of writing PRDs.
Designers are shipping PRs through Cursor directly instead of relying solely on Figma.
Everyone is building. And the management's job is to develop better judgment.
@karpathy Reminds me of this post:
"A model that always agrees with you is relatively easy to discount. A model that argues back with what sounds like rigorous reasoning, expressed with credibility and warmth, is much harder to detect and resist"

It’s exciting to see people discovering tla+ as great fit for agentic use cases. You might want to try out @quint_lang, based on the same core, but coming with a modern syntax and tooling perfect for AI use case (although we built it long time before LLMs) https://t.co/F8KuapJ93X
Clearly that single checkbox is not enough to protect users. We should never allow such a swap without enough “high level quality consent” despite permission-less nature.
