The surest way to get flamed out of any crypto mailing list was to ask what the effective clearance rate for the coin was, then following it up with how it could be sped up. Today the bitcoin network is still stuck at ~7 transactions a seco

The obstacles have absolutely changed. A processor from 2015 is good enough for most daily tasks in 2025. Try saying that about one from 1985 to 1995. The issue today isn't that by the time you get to market with SOTA manufacturing on

They were a tar pit in the 1980s and 1990s when Moores law meant a 16x increase in processor speed every 6 years. Right now the only reason why we don't have new generations of these eating the lunch of general purpose CPUs is that you

The point is that the upside of investing in a technology before everyone else does is huge. The downside is whatever you end up investing it in. Hype is then technologies fighting for that slice of the pie. The upside to current AI is that

RAG is literally what Google Search is. Unlike the natural language queries that RAG has to deal with, Google searches are (usually) atomic ideas and encoder-only models have a much easier time with them.
