This week's topic: the difficulty of changing your mind, and three big things I've changed my mind about.

The Spacemesh network is under growing strain due to the rapidly increasing number of miners. Read these two articles to understand what we're doing about this today and what we might choose to do longer term. First, an article we just published in the company blog https://x.com/teamspacemesh/status/1797556144665206954
Short break from tech. I wrote something a little more reflective and personal this week. I hope it resonates, and I hope you find it useful.

I don't mind at all paying for a pass here and there, and I've paid for a few, but effectively having to pay for every individual "hashtag" I use is getting expensive and untenable. I'm interested in a lot of topics! Maybe there's a better way to prevent spam...
I've been thinking more about AI lately, and in particular about the things it still can't do (but, hopefully, someday will be able to!)

Why Warpcast is a good app 👇

Wait, farcaster doesn't support hashtags? Like, at all? So if you want to talk about something that isn't a user and isn't a channel... how do you do that? Or are you supposed to turn everything into a channel? But that costs money and requires owners? I really don't get it.
This is the direction we're going with the #athenavm and it's kind of a big deal. Writing a bunch on it this week, more soon.

The combination of Rust, RISC-V, LLVM, and ZK is extraordinarily powerful and will have a big impact on the future of computing. It's nuanced and I think most people haven't figured this out yet, but smart folks are starting to wake up to it.
This was a fun one! This week I wrote about one of my favorite topics, virtualization and abstraction in the long-arc context of application architecture, computing, the web, and blockchain. https://open.substack.com/pub/rettig/p/everywhere-all-at-once?r=16en&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true
Wen "Share to Farcaster" link on Substack? 🤔

This week I built… Archbot! along with master hipster @ale. See description below. https://warpcast.com/lane/0x288d5b84

I've been a lot less active here the past couple of weeks because of what seems like unnecessary gatekeeping in the Farcaster community. Posted more about it here: https://twitter.com/lrettig/status/1775628342018113705
Just concluded a very intense week of research with the research team. I originally intended to post updates here throughout the week but between research and fighting jet lag there really wasn’t a chance 😅 Working on some summary notes now, more soon! ✌️
En route to meet the team in Europe for our research summit. Sorry for the lack of Spacemesh updates. Long trip! More soon!
It's still way, way too hard to type effectively on a mobile keyboard. Takes way too long. I low key hope AI and AR/VR fix this.
Had a good internal debate about decentralization today. Seems to be the topic du jour. There's a debate in the Spacemesh community (on Discord, see https://chat.spacemesh.io) about pools: what to do about them, whether and to what extent they represent a problem or a threat...
This is what my raspberry pi looked like today when I finally opened it to troubleshoot the loud fan. Amazingly this thing has been successfully mining chia from home for around four years with no problems, dust and all. It’s still going strong. Lindy AF!
I think farcaster might *just* have critical mass for escape velocity. That would be a first.
