This week's topic: the difficulty of changing your mind, and three big things I've changed my mind about. Just published: Changing My Mind https://open.substack.com/pub/rettig/p/changing-my-mind?r=16en&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

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. Just published: Chapters https://open.substack.com/pub/rettig/p/chapters?r=16en&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

Most recently I was trying to post to /ai. Maybe the answer is to avoid the channels that are pay to play...

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!)

Finally got around to playing with this AO computer thing. It feels a lot like /urbit a few years ago (before the Landscape UI launched). Fresh, exciting, high potential, but still really clumsy. Interesting.

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. https://warpcast.com/lane/0x100eb113

There's a LOT of sunk investment in Wasm so it'll take time for people to get over their biases and see that RISC-V is a better choice but that trend has definitely begun. It blows my mind that there are already three projects that do efficient succinct proofs for arbitrary Rust code compiled to RISC-V.

Wasm was never a great choice for blockchains or for deterministic and verifiable computing use cases more generally - and I say this as someone who worked on a Wasm-based VM and was very excited about it for years. RISC-V is better along every dimension I can think of.

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
