I'm absolutely thrilled that Darklake and its proof tech will find a new home with @solstrategies. We keep building.

Solana.

[SOL Strategies @solstrategies]

🚨ANNOUNCEMENT

SOL Strategies has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Darklake Labs, bringing zero-knowledge privacy tech in-house to power more secure, private and institution ready on-chain finance.

A major milestone in our journey to build on Solana. 🧵

seems hyperliquid:native has flipped solana:So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112 in price

kudos to them. well deserved.

now, we commence the Solana comeback, 3rd edition

In most professions, when you hit the 90th percentile in technical skill, the best use of your time is getting 90th percentile soft skills

the best barbers are therapists

the best photographers are comedians

the best engineers are iconoclastic cult leaders that inspire their team with a vision nobody else can see, and even fewer can beleive

stop maxing out your CAD skills, and start dreaming bigger!

@dhruvsol @brewlabshq_ @rishavmehraa @kartikkktomarrr @solana @solana_devs @toly That's really neat, man. I'm glad someone open sourced it - I think this is probably the thing that has been implemented over and over again by multiple people and that's just not very smart.

[vitorpy @vitorpy]

@joakimhi Oh, the main idea is that you can fold it and use public transport (commuter trains, trams) for part of the commute. I just fold it so it takes less space in my flat to be honest. I do like the idea of being able to fold it and take the tram home in case it's raining or snowing.

[vitorpy @vitorpy]

Looks like more practice is needed before I can commute with this but the verdict is clear: the stupid folding bike is the most fun toy I have bought in a while.

[vitorpy @vitorpy]

yeah, same - i have the same reaction with watches, cars, or most luxury spending tbh, it doesn't matter if i can afford it or not, it's just not something i would be willing to spend on.

well, the only exception, that makes me feel fairly guilty, are business class flights going back home. fuck, it's expensive, it's stupid, but it's worth it haha

[vitorpy @vitorpy]

@d3h3d_ i'm way too cheap to pay for a titanium brompton hahah but yeah, it must be nice, so light

@the_sharmini It is! I It's been ages since I had a bike but there's a bike lane all the way from my flat to the coworking, I couldn't resist.

I've got an agent in a loop optimizing a renderer with the goal to minimize frame times (and tests to measure). It got times down from 88ms to 2ms and allocations down from ~150K to 500. Sounds good, right? Wrong. This is exactly why agent psychosis is a big fucking problem.

As an experiment, I rewrote the Ghostty core render state in Go, with access to identically laid out data structures as Ghostty and the exact same validation tests. I made a purposely naive renderer (simple, correct, but slow). 88ms per frame with 150,000 allocations (horrendous, lol)!

I then kickstarted a Ralph loop to bring the frame times down. I told it it can't modify input data structures or the public API or tests (they're correct), but it can do anything else it wants. It got to work.

It has worked for about 4 hours. I've spent around $350 on this experiment so far. The results?

88ms => 1.5ms
150K allocs => ~500 allocs

Incredible right? Nope.

My hand-written renderer I ported has frame times (same benchmark) of ~20us (0.020ms) and 0 allocations in the update path.

This is the problem with psychosis and lacking systems understanding. If you don't understand the system, you're going to accept that this is an incredible result. If you understand the system, you'll see better solutions immediately and can do roughly 75x better on throughput.

The people who blindly trust agent output are in the former camp. They're sheeple, overdrinking from a fountain of mediocrity.

Standard disclaimer: I use AI all the time. I like AI. The point I'm making is to not blindly accept results. Think. Analyze. Learn.

Sensible voices are (finally) breaking through with AI. @mitchellh one of the best ones.

@mihal_wojtas @FabianoSolana VC money isn't the problem. L2-of-the-week was a retarded concept. SVM-on-Ethereum was also a terrible concept - no one uses Solana for the magical properties of the SVM, we use it despite of it.
