Why has ETH price been anemic relative to the rest of the market? The story, the value accrual, and the competitive dynamics make it tough to justify at $450B when the opportunity cost is so high with other investment opportunities. Is ETH valuable? ABSOLUTELY, but...

Sorry for posting this again, I'm still processing it: It'd cost >>> $743k per year <<< to run Opus-4.6 fast-mode nonstop Literally my company cannot afford a single person using it for daily coding. And that's a shame because the experience is truly magical. I've spent the last 2 days using it on Pi (nearly $500 gone 💀), and it was the first time I kinda got into the flow state while using an agent, because the feedback is just so fast. This is not something I ever experienced before, definitely not with GPT 5.4's own fast mode. I can't wait for this kind of super fast, super high intelligence to be available for a reasonable cost...

things are about to get interesting from here on

the trump administration understood the iranians had the capacity to close the straits of hormuz. this has been scenario planned to death by defense and intel analysts for decades. they were confident it wouldn’t happen because they were convinced (what remained of) the iranian leadership would fold to superior firepower. trump is still saying this (at this week’s g7, among other places). turns out…that confidence was misplaced.

the purpose of school is not to "socialize" your kids, and I *really* doubt homeschool is on average more abusive than the average middle school. but none of that matters, bc the real purpose of school is just: daycare. and once you understand this, the truth will set you free.

What if you tried to send $1 to every person on Earth? 🤔 Here’s how long it would take and how much it would cost. PS: Just a fun thought experiment. Numbers use average TPS and fees; no system could realistically do this at scale.

the new tesla Robotaxi's turns your car into an appreciating asset - making money for you while you sleep. this post estimates $30,000 profit a year (after costs, maintenance etc) - thats insane these cars will cost $30K itself to buy so you recoup that in a year - that return on investment is better than a LOT of investment assets. the best part is you don't really need to do anything. car will drive itself autonomously, logistics of ride-haling managed by tesla app. self-charging will be there too. cars have always been a depreciating asset, the moment you walk out of the dealership it loses value - but that stops with tesla. really fucking pumped for this tbh

What I want to leave you with before answering is this: if Solana wants to mature, its communication, partnerships and overall mindset also need to mature. Volume alone, especially when it is driven by bots, is neither bullish nor a real argument for value. I think you, Mert, and everyone involved should be aware that you represent a form of persona centralisation for the chain. Your actions and your words become associated with an entire chain that cannot do anything about it if its most visible figures drift into political territory. You are right that people can disagree, and as long as that is still possible, people should. The problem is that presenting only a timeline of events can create the impression that everything is morally equivalent. Some actions are simply events in a sequence. Others are decisions with clear responsibility and consequences. Treating them as neutral points in a timeline risks removing that distinction. So the question is not only who did what first, but also who chose escalation, who carries responsibility, and what the consequences were for civilians. Context matters.

Claude seems to be fixing a super annoying developer problem. Anthropic announced a research preview feature called Auto Mode for Claude Code, expected to roll out by March 12, 2026. The idea is simple: let Claude automatically handle permission prompts during coding so developers don’t have to constantly approve every action. Sstops those annoying permission prompts during long coding sessions. Before this, you had to use `--dangerously-skip-permissions` to work without interruptions. That method worked fine but took away all your safety nets. This new auto mode gives us a smarter option. Claude will take care of the specific permission choices on its own while still blocking threats like prompt injections. You can finally let long tasks run without watching your screen the whole time. Since it is still a research preview, you should run it inside isolated setups like sandboxes or containers for safety. Expect a small jump in token usage and delay, because the model needs extra time to process the security checks. Once available, you just type `claude --enable-auto-mode` to start. If you manage a team and need people to manually approve actions, you can restrict this feature using Mobile Device Management tools like Jamf and Intune or through configuration files.

What if a codebase was actually stored in Postgres and agents directly modified files by reading/writing to the DB? Code velocity has increased 3-5x. This will undoubtedly continue. PR review has already become a bottleneck for high output teams. Codebase checked-out on filesystem seems like a terrible primitive when you have 10-100-1000 agents writing code. Code is now high velocity data and should be modeled at such. Bare minimum, we need write-level atomicity and better coordination across agents, better synchronization primitives for subscribing to codebase state changes and real-time time file-level code lint/fmt/review. The current ~20 year old paradigm of git checkout/branch/push/pr/review/rebase ended Jan 2026. We need an entirely new foundational system for writing code if we’re really going to keep pace with scale laws.

Openclaw is one big grift. Nobody is building anything real. It's just grifting influencers telling YOU how to build stuff (but never build anything themselves). Interesting how you can be building 24/7 but have nothing to show for it... Check the track record of these snake oil salesmen. Same type of person who polluted crypto with their grifty ways. Selling a false dream and taking money from innocent people is disgusting. You can't change my mind.
