And with the imminent launch of the 9950x, seeing a *lot* of these deals pop up as DCs drop prices on older hardware, so now you can run on mainnet-beta for ~200/mo. God bless Moore’s law.

Outside of EPYCs, it'll also be interesting to see if adoption of AMD Ryzen CPUs on mainnetbeta further increases. These max out at fewer cores (16) but have high base and boost clock speeds (over 5GHz). A lot of validators currently see decent performance with the 7950x.

Our vote on SIMD-228 & SIMD-123 tldr; split abstain/no on 228, yes on 123 as this nail biting vote comes to a close, and since we're probably not going to hear back from any other stakers, we just want to explain our reasoning for both votes SIMD-228 Pros: - reduce

I support 228 because I want Solana to win. Continuing excessive SOL emissions means continuing to throw away hundreds of millions of dollars a year to governments and middle men for no reason....

Absolutely awesome to see @calilyliu breakdown our initial opposition to 228 here, and she’s on the frontlines selling Solana to institutions. 48 min in. 1. Why is no one applying rigor or systems thinking to this? We’re a mature $100b network doing economic policy with

dear @JupiterExchange do you mind voting on SIMD-0326? I voted religiously on every single jup asr proposal I could, so I'm sure you understand how important this is? /cc @0xSoju @italoacasas

Solid. Fucking. Gold. Yes, the upgrade cycles are a pain and yes fd tends to get more attention but @anza_xyz core is absolutely killing it with these performance improvements The amount of effort that goes in is unbelievable Hats off 🫡

Assume that all assumptions are wrong (except this one). Develop a principled system level understanding of the thing you want to optimize. You don't have to be an expert in every single area, but you must understand how things interact. You can only act on measured data.

Raising stake for a validator is a much harder battle when you’re new to the ecosystem, especially with the large stakepools being either slow moving to sandwiches and sybils or being in max extract mode Thank god for pools like @AeroPool_, not just for staking ecosystem teams
