You can't vibe-code utopia. That's the key problem with the 'AI Abundance' narrative. The AI industry is dominated by young, male, Aspy, single, childless, 'progressive' atheists who love tech more than they love people. They think they can train AIs to deliver a utopian society for humans -- but they don't understand human nature, or history, or families, or societies. To them, 'human nature' is little more than a list of 'cognitive biases'. To them, 'human history' is little more than a catalog of oppression and irrationality. To them, 'human families' are dead weight that you escape when you leave home and move to the Bay Area. To them, 'human society' is little more than a hierarchy of founders, investors, employees, and customers. If they showed any humility about what they don't understand, and any self-awareness about their hubris, we might forgive their youthful arrogance. But, as things stand, there is no reason to trust them with any power to 'revolutionize' our entire civilization. Utopian revolutions rarely end well.

The time to learn how to think for yourself was before genAI, if you missed your chance, good luck

wow! what is this?

today, Solana changes forever we've solved the biggest data/RPC problem that exists solana historical/archival data — has now been redesigned quick context: today when you query historical data (getBlock/getTransaction/getSignaturesForAddress), it hits Google BigTable this is i) slow, ii) expensive, iii) inflexible for queries e.g., you physically can not get the first tx for a Solana address without looping back endlessly from the latest tx for busy addresses, this can take thousands of RPC calls — extremely slow, expensive, and annoying also, imagine you wanted to get the most recent 100 txs for an address, how do you do it? you first hit getSignaturesForAddress to get all the tx signatures and then call getTransaction on each tx to get its details — this can take 1,001 RPC calls in the worst case not anymore we have built a new distributed archival storage system that is 1,000x faster, more flexible, and more scalable the best part? we're introducing a new API method: getTransactionsForAddress with this method, you can now: i) combine getSignaturesForAddress and getTransaction calls into just 1 call instead of 1,000 ii) you can search in reverse order without needing to traverse iii) you can search historical transactions by time and slot ranges (e.g. get me all the txns from January 5th, 2025 until February 5th, 2025) what's more: - getBlock calls are now 10x faster - getTransaction calls are now 10x faster - getSignaturesForAddress calls are now 10x faster 10x lower latency, 100x fewer RPC calls, and 1000x less code enjoy! docs below
