@julia_doubleday @AAA_Travel I’ve supported aaa membership for last 20 yrs this is heartbreaking. Why can’t they publicly respond?

My dad is driving to DC for the first time since my mom died in Jan and he hit a deer. He called @AAA_Travel for help and a tow & they asked to speak to my mother. He informed them she just died & they said he can’t use the policy then & left a 70 year old grieving man stranded

Best advice I got in my 20s: Nobody cares. When you’re winning, nobody cares. When you’re losing, nobody cares. It doesn’t mean nobody loves you, it just means nobody cares about your life as much as you do. You are in control. It’s on you. Nobody cares. Go do the thing.

Something I believe to be true with the AI platform shift. The AI companies that use AI the most to build their core products most core functionality will be the leaders in this next generation. If you aren’t using AI for the important work you do, you won’t lead. Microsoft had many advantages like distribution and past success, but an absolute key to Windows was Microsoft’s singular bet on the platform to build its own applications. This work made Microsoft the “best” Windows programmers at a time when every other industry player saw Windows as one of “n” platforms. Read this in Hardcore Software “Windows: A Strategy for the 90s”. open.substack.com/pub/hardcoreso… Google replayed this execution strategy by being singularly focused on the browser and cloud in everything they did. They never hesitated to think “web-first” as an internal execution strategy. In the early days before broadband and mobile this looked to be limiting and was criticized (often by Microsoft). Their focus on the web platform drove them to remove those limitations and simply become the dominant force in the evolution of internet technologies (Chrome, Android, streaming, etc.) Companies from Meta to Uber to Salesforce saw mobile as not just an alternative to the desktop browser but the *only* platform that would dominate. They didn’t just allocate resources to mobile, they shifted their strategy to use, deploy, and build for mobile. Facebook famously drove all dialog internally to mobile even requiring use of Android (the dominant by share outside the US) across the dev team. This dynamic of forcing yourself to use the new platform for core work and not experiment has proven itself time and again to be a major contributor to being a leader in platform transitions.

@businessbarista Claude

I want to start a community dedicated to Claude Code. It’s become the gateway drug to coding and experiencing the power of AI for tons of people. This will be a space for people to share killer use cases, agentic workflows, proven prompts, and connect with other CC obsessives. Comment “Claude” if you want to join.

For those who are interested, Function Health offers a wealth of interesting health-related data (could make a good gift for the health-data-intrigued in your family or friend circles).

1/ Fusaka is coming December 3rd. Ethereum’s next major upgrade shows that the network can grow to meet global demand, without compromising on decentralization or permissionlessness. Whether you’re a user, builder, institution, or operator, here’s how Fusaka will impact you.

Ethereum Fusaka upgrade will go live this week and here is what will change in the upgrade : 1. PeerDAS (Peer Data Availability Sampling) : EIP-7594 so before explaining this, you must need to know about blobs. so think of blobs as temporary storage lockers for L2 networks. when we use dapps on Arbitrum, Optimism or other Layer 2s, our tx data needs to be posted to Ethereum for security, blobs are special containers designed exactly for this data to store temporarily. Before Blobs (Pre-Dencun) : ▫️L2 Transaction Data stored in calldata ▫️Cost : $$$$ (Expensive, Stored forever) ▫️L2 fees : $1-10+ per tx during congestion After Blobs (Post-Dencun) : ▫️L2 Transaction Data stored in BLOBS ▫️Cost: $ (Cheap, Temporary storage) ▫️L2 fees : $0.001-0.10 per tx So, in DAS, Instead of downloading all blob data to verify it exists, nodes sample small random pieces. If enough random samples check out, the full data is statistically guaranteed to be available. -----> Analogy : Let's say you want to check pizza quality of any shop, here is what happens with and without DAS Old Way (Download Everything) : ▫️Eat the entire pizza to verify quality ▫️Time : Long ▫️Stomach : Full ▫️Cost : Expensive New Way (Sampling) : ▫️Take 5 random bites from different slices ▫️If all 5 are good → Pizza is probably good ▫️Time : Quick ▫️Stomach : Room for more ▫️Cost : Cheap -----> In Blockchan terms : Before Fusaka : ▫️ Every full node must store all blob data from L2s ▫️ Storage : 100% of blob data ▫️ Bandwidth : high (downloads everything) After Fusaka : ▫️ Each node stores only 1/8th of the blob data ▫️ Full blob data can be reconstructed from any 50% of the network node ▫️ Bandwidth : ~80% reduction Impact : 8x theoretical scaling without increasing node requirements 2. Gas Limit Increase to 60 Million : EIP-7935 have u ever noticed that some blocks contain 150 txs , some block contains 400 txs? this is because of the block gas limit, each block has max cap of gas limit, if there is any txs with less gas limit, then u will see many txs in that block. on the other hand if there are tx with more gas usage, in that case, you will see less txs in that block. Before Fusaka : ▫️ Block Capacity : 45 Million Gas ▫️ Transactions : ~1,500 simple transfers ▫️ Congestion : Common during high activity After Fusaka : ▫️ Block Capacity : 60 Million Gas ▫️ Transactions : ~2,000 simple transfers (+33%) ▫️ Congestion : Reduced 3. Transaction Gas Limit Cap : EIP-7825 Fusaka introduced gas limit cap per tx to prevent DoS attack. Before Fusaka : ▫️ Single Transaction Could Consume entire Block's 45M Gas, for example this tx : etherscan.io/tx/0x25e54394a… used all the entire block gas and thus there were no other tx in that block : etherscan.io/block/967163 ▫️Risk : DoS attacks possible After Fusaka : ▫️ Maximum 16.7M Gas Per Transaction (2²⁴) ▫️ DoS protection enabled ▫️ ~3.5+ large transactions per block minimum 4. secp256r1 Curve Support : EIP-7951 (Precompile) This upgrade also introduce native mobile hardware security. Before Fusaka : ▫️ Signing method : Only secp256k1 (Bitcoin/Ethereum) ▫️ No native mobile secure enclave ▫️ Hardware wallets need special chips After Fusaka : ▫️ Signing Methods : secp256k1 (Original) + secp256r1 (New) ▫️ iPhone Secure Enclave supported ▫️ Android Hardware Security Module supported ▫️ FIDO2/WebAuthn compatibility ▫️ Hardware-backed mobile wallets For more info, you can read this : ethereum.org/roadmap/fusaka/

Have you ever seen a colleague complain about the way someone does something behind someone's back? At Coinbase, we don't believe in political behavior. We've found the best way to stop this is to celebrate openly discussing problems as part of our culture. You have to take the time to put it in writing, which forces you to fully think through and lay out the problem, and then propose your solution to fix it. This either solves the problem, or helps the team get re-aligned on why it's the way it is. This is how you can actually be constructive and make real progress, as opposed to just complaining about something.

Embrace the unknown:

@JonathanLittle @bigotry_watch @altcap Thank you! Curious if they require prescription or you were able to do without prescription.

@bigotry_watch @altcap I got a Calcium CT scan and Full Body scan from Preventative Diagnostic Center in Vegas.

Happy Father’s Day. I got a full body scan and it said my heart may be in rough shape. Turns out it is but it is likely still fixable. It may extend my life by many years. If you are 40 or older, see what’s going on inside. Thanks to @altcap for mentioning it over and over!

You need to hear this…

Action relieves anxiety. Remind yourself this everyday. h/t: @ash_lmb

I’ve realized that there’s nothing more special and fulfilling than waking up every day working hard towards an amazing vision with a great team around you. This is what life is all about.

@dylan522p No room for liquor store and DD?!

My caste (Leuva Patidar Samaj) volleyball tournament in Dallas is unreal 8,000 people here out of ~40,000 people in the US Everyone from a part of Gujarat and same way of life in the US Literally everyone here owns a motel or gas station in rural America

@altcap @ValleyHealth BTW, there is no state or federal law that I can find which says there is a legal mandate for the scan that cost $99. Take my money but why won't you do it?

@altcap @ValleyHealth valleyhealthlink.com/our-services/i… Calling them and explaining there is no such state or federal law that this test require referral and they still refuse to loose business.

1 in 3 reading this will DIE from heart disease. The irony? The heart is a solved problem - almost all of those deaths are preventable. Take a Calcium CT Scan. $150. 30 minutes. Save yourself. Save the country billions. Heart attacks are a dumb way to die. 🤍🙏🇺🇸

Palantir on how they're able to show customers value in 5 days now rather than 3 months in the past thanks to LLMs integrated into their AI platform Still underrated how quick the time-to-value can be with AI.
