This week:
- Milestone 3 testing is concluding as we speak with the mainnet data dry run. So far, working fine – mainnet state is cozily slotting into the encrypted hypergraph.
- Our verifiable encryption implementation is now available: https://github.com/QuilibriumNetwork/ceremonyclient/tree/develop/crates/verenc
- The hypergraph implementation has been dramatically improved for speed, you can find our implementation here: https://github.com/QuilibriumNetwork/ceremonyclient/blob/develop/node/hypergraph/application/hypergraph.go
- When the mainnet data import test is completed, we will proceed with releasing our S3 compatible API and KMS compatible API previews
- Milestone 5 immediately follows, along with Quorum updates and Q name service, and then... 2.1

Many such cases of progress being stifled by the chained elephant.

In 1983, the video game industry fell apart because of the sheer quantity of shit being shoveled to consumers. Most analysts were calling it for the industry, that home gaming would never thrive again. The infamous Atari landfill.

Then a company that made most of their money off of playing cards and gambling decided to pivot their game system play as a broader "entertainment system", reimagining how games and entertainment can be done, with strong quality controls in their developer onboarding and promotion. It worked. Everyone remembers the NES. Few remember the landfill. Crypto has lost its way, but it can be brought back.

The trick is simple: play a different game.

[Patrick] Today, in the Valley, and indeed in the technology sector generally, you [have] two influential movements and sub-sectors are crypto and AI. And I think they have sort of something striking in common, which is they're both cults.

 in both cases, they have fervent believers who, for whom these technologies become sort of part of their self-identity.  Does that remind you at all of the Homebrew computing movement?

[Bill]:  Yeah, there's a lot of similarities in that.  There were a small group of people who saw what personal computing would become.....

 There was a small group and some of them were fairly counterculture....  And it had kind of this great feel that we were in on something.  We're gonna change things.

 Those early machines were so limited in terms of what they could actually do, then as we get discs and we connect them together and the memory size gets to be decent, you know, then the sky's the limit

It's fun to see this analogy picking up steam

EDIT: Developer preview of S3/KMS coming! Please reach out by DC if you would like to be onboarded. It will open with only Q Inc's "free tier" limits, but when 2.1 is live, the higher tiers can be paid for in QUIL, $wquil, and $usdc.

This week:
- Overcame the flu 🤧
- Deeper profiling and optimization on hypersync, nearly done with this portion of milestone 5 testing, which will leave us with only two more items to evaluate on testnet before 2.1.

I've been learning a new knitting technique lately, and although it's a little difficult at first, I feel a great sense of accomplishment and satisfaction every time I finish a small piece.

The world cares very little about what a man or woman knows; it is what a man or woman is able to do that counts.
