The usage of shape here triggers me.

Very interesting. But I'd imagine they aren't doing proper KYC to get an ExtraCare card, I bet it is very soft KYC. Like phone number verification or card payment which you can get anonymously, so it won't necessarily do too much to find the perpetrator. I wonder if it works through throttling and blacklisting so the loss and damage radius are reduced.

Shape triggers me as well now.

You're right, it seems there are more validating nodes now. Not sure about the ownership information of course. They need to be whitelisted to take part, right? That's why I treat it as somewhat distributed rather than decentralized in a traditional crypto way.

Running a node for HL takes a lot of resources too.

But yeah they are non-custodial which is great.

At least it will be better moving forward, one can hope.

KYC definitely won't happen. But that aside the funny thing is, HyperLiquid isn't actually decentralized in a traditional sense. They have like 5 validating nodes and all operated by HyperLiquid affiliates.

Also the XYZ markets that the stock tokens "live on" is not managed by HyperLiquid as far as I know.

I enjoyed his backstory. We all could have also just not replied and upvoted the post but here we are passing information back and forth and finding joy in it in the process.

Now that's a blast to the past. What's next, Rapidshare.de is having issues?

Extreme speeds are actually interesting if you think about it. We are apparently getting some interesting results from LLMs nowadays. If they would put 100x effort in 10% the time it takes, or imagine 1% where how long tool calls take become the bottleneck, that would actually probably feel like a really special kind of "super intelligence".

My experience with Brotli is from back when all the hype was mobile first and India etc was super mobile first so all these social networks lost their mind optimizing for request success and speed. So they were going crazy over micro-wins like that.

I always found it so interesting that corporations are essentially the outcome of we pay some people some money for them to work for the best interests of this entity that is not theirs. A lot arises from that.

Why not accept the Apple bounties and donate it or something?
