New meanings of the new world!

A Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) is any sufficiently decentralized network that uses cryptography and mechanism design to ensure a client can request physical services from a set of providers — breaking the natural monopoly and providing the benefits of competition.

The decentralization of physical infrastructure networks offers an opportunity to leapfrog atrophying incumbent monopolies and create networks that are more robust, easier to invest in, and more transparent.

f everyone becomes a manager of agents—instead of coding yourself, you could essentially supervise five coding agents—how should those agents be priced? One option is as a function of productivity relative to a full-time worker. I doubt we see parity here (if five agents 5x productivity, the company probably won’t be paying five full-time salaries)... See more

The limiting factor isn't finding or training rare talent – it's just compute.

This ability to turn capital into compute and compute into equivalents of your top talent is a fundamental transformation

If you’re in an unfamiliar area, it nudges you in the right direction by predicting the next sequence for whatever you’re doing, whether coding, designing, or writing. And you can choose whether to ignore the directions or not because you’re in control.

Squads will be as important as companies in the years to come. And as the micro-structure of our social and economic fabric changes, strong vibes and sustainability will become the new metric of success. Squads don't need to scale. They can just spread the big squad energy.
