The U.S. can’t match China’s speed with regulation and closed systems. We need distributed energy, open compute, and permissionless innovation. That’s what @akashnet_ was built for.

In the 18th century, economist Richard Cantillon noticed something disturbing about inflation: When new money entered the economy, those close to the King received it first. Those farther away received it last. This has profound implications for why you can't afford rent. 🧵

Google just made a subtle but massive change Last month, Google quietly removed the num=100 search parameter. This means you can no longer view 100 results at once. The default max is now 10. Why does this matter? - Most LLMs (OpenAI, Perplexity, etc.) rely (directly or…
