[Neil Woodfine @nwoodfine]

This Jensen Huang thing is so ugly. Guy takes a company from zero to absolute pinnacle, through blood, sweat, and tears, a pure founder’s founder, great products, makes so many people rich beyond their imaginations, champions open free local AI, and then the incumbent modern managerial safetyist human instrumentality establishment collectively decides they want to rip it all away from him because they think they can “do better”.

Don't make the mistake of thinking this is about his infidelity. These articles will not stop until he agrees to follow Anthropic's proposal to block inference for unsigned and registered open-models in the firmware of modern GPUs.

This is a pretty transparent concerted effort at centralizing control over compute ressources and the ability to execute ever more powerful local models. Jensen is the tip of the spear pushing back at this (in part for his own economic reasons).

I'm team Jensen, his affairs are none of my business, not even the alleged support of circumvention of export controls are my business, his position on open-weight models is.

[Martin Sellner @MartinSellner_]

The new trend among our traitorous elites will be to brand every remigration demand as “outside interference.”

They will turn colour-blindness and a multicultural melting pot into questions of “national stability” and national security.

They are already doing this to some extent by claiming that “Russian bots” are amplifying right-wing parties.

Soon they will say it is “unpatriotic,” and that to compete geopolitically we must embrace the “new nation” with Islam as part of the “New Europe.”

@7LayerMagik @cavemanloverboy Lets goo how do I run

[ripatel ✠ @fd_ripatel]

@slonana_com @anza_xyz @alessandrod @trentdotsol can you replay shredcap.pcapng.zst or blockstore archives? I would love to benchmark

[ripatel ✠ @fd_ripatel]

Call out @anza_xyz on their false performance claims, meltdown and personal attacks ensue.

Trent has not contributed anything to Agave but chore commits since Februrary – at least @alessandrod pushes 3 commits a month. Vesting curve must feel great!

[trent.sol @trentdotsol]

@alessandrod clanker skid coded behavior tbh

@slonana_com @anza_xyz @alessandrod @trentdotsol Slonana ‼️😭

[ripatel ✠ @fd_ripatel]

The Scale or Die talk covers future Solana protocol capacity for trading.

The BlockZero demo for our yearly performance mogging & new features for node operators.

Looking forward to you all.

[Firedancer 🔥💃🏻 @jump_firedancer]

Firedancer is pushing for massive increases to Solana block limits.
Unleashing CUs with Michael at Scale or Die. Nov 14th.

[ripatel ✠ @fd_ripatel]

12 months in the trenches staring at x86 latency chains and perf profiles, and we're so back.

Come see our tech presentations at @SolanaFndn's Scale or Die (Nov 14) and BlockZero 26 (Nov 15).

[ripatel ✠ @fd_ripatel]

@alessandrod @trentdotsol In Italy 🇮🇹 they force you to tell everyone about your performance change for 2 months before shipping it (still 2.5x slower lol)

[ripatel ✠ @fd_ripatel]

@alessandrod @trentdotsol this is literally the latest master commit
with extra config slop to make you faster

[ripatel ✠ @fd_ripatel]

@alessandrod @anza_xyz stop yapping and remove CU limits

[ripatel ✠ @fd_ripatel]

@7LayerMagik @toly @cavemanloverboy 2025-03-27: Anza restricts (previously unlimited) block space to 48M CUs via apply_cost_tracker_during_replay, to prevent a Firedancer takeover. This is what we are fighting against.

[ripatel ✠ @fd_ripatel]

@alessandrod @trentdotsol getting where? matching our performance? lol no, try again. every one of your grand Anza optimizations like XDP, pinned memory, and speculative execution, has existed in Firedancer months before you started talking about it

[ripatel ✠ @fd_ripatel]

Check --experimental-execution-arenas (stop page fault retard spam) … 30% better.

Well, Firedancer cooked too. Next month's release will replay a 200ms block in about 11ms. ⚡️ No long tails.

@alessandrod @trentdotsol https://t.co/j0vU7LzPHM Agave v4.4 (latest mainnet version), please keep the cope coming.

[ripatel ✠ @fd_ripatel]

@cavemanloverboy as requested, rebenched with newer Agave and latest Mithril. Not sure why Mithril is so high, probably synchronous rooting
