@grok Are harmonic and BAM extractive solana validator clients? Do they slow down or delay Solana transactions for everyone?

It is hypocritical for @coinbase to operate @standwithcrypto while at the same time running extractive Solana validators. Worse yet is they are doing this with customer staked assets without sharing any of the block building rewards.

@GeringerAdam We used to have one and it was stolen. It’s like the decline in Foundation when everyone learns from books instead of going to see for themselves.

Whats even crazier is they just built it right in the middle of the quad

One of only 24 on-campus nuclear reactors in the United States

@toly @isabelleboemeke Navy reactors are not defined by the enrichment of the fuel—that only controls how often they need refueling—they have unlimited access to cooling.

@isabelleboemeke Dual use. Build a bunch of big boats with a bunch of reactors that power GPUs in peace time, energy weapons in peace keeping times.

I often encounter the argument that we should use naval reactors for civilian purposes because they have already solved reliability and longevity issues.
One problem with that argument is that the Navy can use highly enriched, weapons-grade uranium.
This matters because the reactors need refueling far less often. In some submarines, never during their entire 33+ year lifespan.
Naval reactors are also extremely expensive, which isn’t an issue for the Navy.
But it is a major problem when trying to create a product that can compete with fossil fuels.

The navy already solved: - small reactors - long core life - reliable operation - mass production For some reason we've been leaving this technology under water for over 70 years

Wait wait, do Americans actually eat this canned chicken or is it just something available but that most normal people wouldn't touch?

In an attempt to explain just why it is that some 77 million Americans voted for the dumbest man alive to be their president for a second time, I’m absolutely delighted to present you with the expanded list of US food that you cannot legally sell in Europe!🧵

@exQUIZitely Both companies made iconic games, but LucasArts still the all-time winner. The King's Quest series was amazing (I think both "The Perils of Rosella", and "Absence makes the heart go yonder" were the best ones), but you can't beat Monkey Island, Loom and the couple Indiana Jones.

Looking at the 90s, I would argue that:
🔥 id Software was the benchmark for FPS
🔥 MicroProse was the benchmark for simulations
🔥 Westwood was the benchmark for RTS
...but now it gets tricky, because I can't decide who the benchmark was for adventure games. I am torn between Sierra and LucasArts. Your vote please.
Remember: 1990 to 1999

@Austin_Federa @alessandrod @vitorpy Speak for yourself Austin. Also, does black pudding or Harkle not fall into this bucket from the European side?

@alessandrod @vitorpy your point is valid, but no, the GDP part of the county does not eat this stuff

this opinion might piss some people off... we should
1. cut slot times in half before Alpenglow turns on
2. keep vote cost the same (double the cost to valis)

@KentonVarda You should have an X subscription on a burner account and say you only respond to subscribers…

The fifth follow-up email is the point where I snap and inform the recruiter that the lack of an unsubscribe link on their obviously-automated message is a violation of US CAN-SPAM law subject to statutory damages of $500/email. They usually don't send another message after that.

@mert Weird reaction, maybe that’s what devs at other companies do?

@KentonVarda Wow, that is an achievable goal. Let make a plan to fix.
