Ethereum Network Resilience - Ethereum has been online for ten years with zero pauses and zero maintenance windows [1][2] - Ethereum persists through forks, crashes, bubbles, lawsuits, hacks, wars, and various internet-related issues [1] - Ethereum's continuous operation is attributed to a decentralized community of developers, stakers, researchers, and users [1] Comparison with Centralized Systems - Centralized giants experience downtime and rely on on-call personnel [1] - Facebook experienced a 14-hour outage [3] - AWS Kinesis froze for 17 hours [3] - Cloudflare dropped 19 datacenters [3] Industry Perspective - While traditional financial institutions and cloud services face failures, Ethereum continues to operate [2] - Alternative Layer 1 blockchains also experience downtime [3]

Here's an example of recent hard work by the Geth team that makes these kinds of scale increases safe.https://t.co/Wgi2F7mbUWMariusVanDerWijden (@vdWijden):Geth v.1.16.0 finally ships the PBSS based archive node, you can have a geth archive node in ca. 1.9TB (down from 20+TB)🚀🚀Queries against historical states (What was my balance at block X) are possible, proofs against historical states are not (yet)Great work by @Gary_Rong ...

L2 Construction & Strategy - The optimal approach to building an L2 involves maximizing the utilization of the L1's inherent features, such as security, censorship resistance, proofs, and data availability [1] - L2 logic should be streamlined to focus on sequencing and proving, or solely proving if based [1] - Ethereum L2s enable trust minimization and efficiency, which enterprise blockchains sought in the 2010s but couldn't achieve [2] Industry Trends & Predictions - There is a prediction that most alt-L1s will transition into L2s [2] - Celo's integration into Ethereum's ecosystem, including carbon initiatives, inflation reduction from 2% to 1%, block time reduction from 5s to 1s, and legacy code elimination, serves as a playbook for this transition [2]

My response to AI 2027:https://t.co/hqqXLM5UZlThe AI 2027 post is high quality, I encourage people to read it at https://t.co/84O5mfN5dhI argue a misaligned AI will not be able to win nearly as easily as the AI 2027 scenario assumes, because it greatly underrates our ability to protect ourselves, especially given the (pretty magical) technologies that the authors admit will be available in 2029 in their scenario. ...
