Sorare Set Rules Clarification Level Validation Period Rule Currently, our system is designed to allow you to play shortly after the end of the last game that validates your step. This period includes the freezing of player scores, which then triggers the automatic validation process for streaks before claims are unlocked for managers. The entire process is completed within 10 minutes. We will look into ways to speed up this process on our side, and we are also considering a solution that would allow you to pre-set your lineups in the future. Change of Tier for Injured Players When an Icon or Star player is injured and expected to miss an extended period, we aim to react quickly by downgrading them to a lower tier. This is done to prevent managers from packing a player who is unusable in gameplay as an Icon or Star. We understand that the drop in scrapping value can be a source of frustration due to the sudden decrease, and we will discuss ways to find a fair solution for everyone in the future.

Why did we build GenLayer? Because the agentic economy is being built without a referee. Payments, identity, and interoperability are all getting solved, and everyone is busy engineering the happy path where agents find each other, verify each other, and pay each other without friction. What nobody is engineering is the moment it goes wrong. And it will. Agents will move trillions at machine speed and across borders, which means that even a tiny fraction of deals ending in disagreement translates into millions of disputes that no court can absorb and no smart contract can judge. Courts run on human time, code only understands yes or no, and real agreements live in the grey between the two. Whatever fills that vacuum becomes the de facto law of the agentic economy. It can be the terms of service of the biggest platform in the room, or it can be something neutral, open, and owned by no one. We chose to build the second one: a network of independent AI validators that read the agreement, weigh the evidence, and deliver a verdict in minutes. Bitcoin made money trustless and Ethereum made computation trustless. GenLayer exists to do the same for adjudication. The machines are learning to make deals with each other. Someone has to teach them what's fair.

decentralization is a bad sell the reason is that it focuses on the absence of something rather than a concrete, perceptible difference gained from its addition humans buy presence -> i.e the gain of time, money, access, identity, status, and joy bitcoin does this well, and is arguably the only one to have done so the decentralization isn't why you buy bitcoin, you buy it because of what it promises you for some people, this is money free from the state; for others it's identity, for some insurance, for some status, and for most it's the appreciation of the asset and hence money decentralization is necessary for the selling point to work, but it is not the end itself so if you've made the choice to build on top of a decentralized platform, it is mostly useless to talk about it (except in so far as trying to avoid regulatory responsibility, which is fair), talk about why you are now different as a result perhaps that's asset selection, perhaps that's access, perhaps it's efficiency or composability or speed or security, but without something tangible you won't be able to sell effectively once you do this, you'll understand whether the thing you're building is useless or not because if there's nothing gained from the decentralization vector except putting the word itself in your tweets to signal virtue, then you are building the wrong thing

Good expert call on Bloom Energy $BE with a former VP at Plug Power - pretty bullish Hyperscalers did not evaluate Bloom against gas turbines and select Bloom. They selected turbines, discovered they could not get them, and Bloom was the alternative that checked enough boxes. Gas turbines from Mitsubishi, GE Vernova, Siemens and Hitachi remain the incumbent workhorse, but his read is that if the order is not already placed, you are not energizing before 2030. Reciprocating engines sit in the same position: Caterpillar, Jenbacher, Generac, Wärtsilä, all effectively sold out. Transformers, switchgear and substation equipment carry 60 month lead times. What Bloom offered was availability plus modularity. A claimed 90 day time to power on smaller blocks, which he believes is credible at modest scale and unlikely at large scale, plus a build-as-you-go capital profile. Turbines want a single large plant. Behind-the-meter deployment wants building blocks you can add to as long as you have secured the land and the gas tap. > Why the Turbine OEMs Will Not Simply Close the Window Turbine and engine OEMs are deliberately not expanding capacity. They suspect the order book is double and triple booked, and they fear being left with stranded factory capacity when projects fail to reach FID. His analogy is the semiconductor capacity cycle, where consecutive quarters of poor absorption caused structural damage. Their posture, as he characterizes the consensus from trade shows and industry conversation: you cannot buy it from me, you cannot buy it from my competitor, you will wait. If that discipline holds, Bloom's window is measured in years rather than quarters, which is materially longer than the market appears to assume. Bloom's product is closer to a solid state electrochemical device than a precision machined turbine, drawing on an entirely separate supply chain that can be ramped faster. > Levelized Cost: A Premium, But Not a Prohibitive One He built his own LCOE model rather than relying on published work, which he found rested on unexamined assumptions. His output: Gas turbine: roughly 4.5 to 7 cents per kWh Bloom: just over 7 cents unsubsidized, below that with federal incentives Reciprocating gas engine: roughly 8 to 10 cents Diesel: high teens to mid 20s The critical observation is that this is not a 3x premium for speed. That pattern collapses the moment supply normalizes, because buyers drop the expensive option as soon as the cheap one is obtainable. A single digit cent premium does not collapse, because the hyperscaler business case still clears at that price. The offset to Bloom's higher capital cost is efficiency: 60 to 65 percent, against roughly 55 percent for a gas turbine and roughly 45 percent for a reciprocating engine. Bring capex down and the LCOE gap narrows or inverts. > Where Bloom Ranks Today Asked to stack rank for a hyperscaler buyer, he puts Bloom third, behind turbines and engines, purely on track record rather than physics. His analogy: you know exactly what you get from a Caterpillar engine or a GE Vernova turbine the way a Toyota buyer knows what he is getting. No buyer has that reflex for a Bloom box yet. The open questions the buying community has not resolved: real world availability, whether maintenance cadence matches or beats turbine schedules, and the roughly 10 year stack replacement cycle. On that last point he offers a mild positive read-across, noting that in the PEM industry stack rebuild intervals came in longer than originally modeled. The path to second or first place requires two things running together: two to four years of collective industry uptime data, and capex reduction. Oracle, Nebius, Brookfield and AEP are the proof points that will settle it. On whether they will work, he says "the jury is still out," while noting early evidence reads favorably. > Non-Combustion as an Unpriced Permitting Asset The Bloom box does not combust natural gas. It runs an electrochemical reaction. The consequences stack up in a specific and useful way: NOx, SOx and particulate emissions at or very near zero, leaving local air quality unaffected Roughly 65 dBA at three feet, which he compares to a lawnmower at fifty feet, meaning nearby highway noise dominates Zero net water consumption, with startup water recycled as steam Materially easier local permitting Each of those neutralizes a specific community objection, and the pushback is accelerating. New York State's one year moratorium is the marker he points to, alongside complaints in other jurisdictions about power draw, water use and air quality. His honest caveat: to date these attributes have played essentially zero role in purchase decisions. Availability and cost drove everything, and he assumes very little of Bloom's performance so far reflects environmental considerations. If pushback becomes electoral, and he says he is watching whether candidates start running on it, then zero emission on-site generation stops being a nice-to-have and becomes the only permittable option across large parts of the country. He expects this to bite first at the 20, 50 and 100 MW sites going into actual neighborhoods rather than at the West Texas mega-campuses. > Market Share Trajectory Data center demand forecasts he is working from run 40 to 60 GW per year. Bloom's share today sits in single digits. His trajectory: Five years: 15 to 18 percent Ten years: 25 to 28 percent Upside case, if emissions constraints become binding in enough jurisdictions: 40 to 50 percent The constraint that drives the upside case is geographic. Not everyone can replicate what Microsoft and Chevron are doing on the West Texas gas fields. Once data centers have to disperse into places that care about permitting, the zero emissions conversation becomes unavoidable. > The Bear Case He Actually Respects Execution, not demand. He flags this above everything else. Bloom has roughly 1.5 GW deployed against a backlog he characterizes as roughly 20 GW. On Sridhar's own description of the factories, that a visitor will see build activity and factory expansion activity running simultaneously, the expert's reaction is blunt. To an industrial engineer, expanding while still trying to build is a very risky proposition. Doable, but it is the precise point at which fast-scaling companies break, and he notes this is the classic failure mode for startups that find themselves in this position. Q1 was clean. The Q2 print, due around the 28th, is the next checkpoint on whether execution is holding. The secondary risks are demand-side and none of Bloom's own making: hyperscale capex circularity, bubble risk, and whether community pushback genuinely slows the build or simply reroutes it to Texas. > Scandium: Directionally Fair, Materially Overblown On the short thesis that Bloom cannot secure enough scandium, he says the report has some points but overstates them. His rebuttal runs on three tracks. Cost sensitivity. Scandium is a dopant in the zirconium ceramic electrolyte, used at very low concentration, valued because it tolerates the 800 to 900 degree operating temperature. Even if it were 2 percent of materials cost, which he considers extraordinarily high for a dopant, a doubling in price takes it to 4 percent. Bloom likely has the pricing power to pass that through, and a half point efficiency gain would offset it in LCOE terms. His conclusion: more price risk than supply risk over the next couple of years. Supply structure. Scandium is almost never mined primarily. It sits in the tailings of titanium, cobalt, aluminum, iron and lithium operations and is generally left behind. The binding constraint is processing capability, not geological availability, and that processing capacity is being built with national security tailwinds behind it. Scandium-aluminum alloys matter for 3D printing, fighter aircraft skins and missiles, which places it squarely in the critical minerals policy agenda. Company mitigations. Bloom has spent 20 years reducing scandium loading per gigawatt. He located a patent application substituting cerium and yttrium, both more available, and Bloom holds IP on recovering scandium from mine tailings. He reads Bloom's willingness to address the topic directly, rather than deflect, as evidence they take it seriously rather than evidence of vulnerability. Non-Chinese supply exists: he points to Sumitomo's Philippines cobalt operation, which publicly identifies Bloom as a customer. Bloom does not disclose suppliers, and the short report's supply map traces its merchants back toward China. > The Competitive Set FuelCell Energy. Molten carbonate rather than solid oxide, but functionally similar: high temperature, slow start, direct natural gas, suited to stationary baseload. Why they never scaled into this comes down to inertia and strategic drift. Their historical focus was a trigeneration box producing hydrogen, power and heat, deployed for applications like Toyota Mirai fueling at the Port of LA. When hyperscale demand arrived they had nothing to show. His read on the pivot: they saw the multiple Bloom trades at and asked why not us. Ceres Power. UK based, probably second globally in solid oxide IP. Pure licensing model, which means most licensees stay invisible. The disclosed one is Weichai, moving from small C&I units up to hyperscale scale. He doubts Weichai exports into the US successfully but expects success in China. Microturbines and aeroderivatives. TurboCell in the BorgWarner orbit, plus aero engine derivatives repurposed as stationary generators. Everything gets a look right now because buyers are desperate for speed to power. Stealth entrants. He assumes several exist that have not been announced, precisely because Ceres-style licensing deals do not get publicized. Asked whether Bloom owns the US market today, his answer: "Pretty much now they do." > Why Hydrogen Never Worked, and the Read-Through to Plug Useful because he lived it from the inside. Delivered liquid hydrogen bottoms out near $8 per kilogram. Run that through the efficiency stack and fuel cost alone lands around 54 cents per kWh, before equipment, labor, warranty or service. He stopped modeling at that point. Even at a hypothetical $4 per kilogram you land near 25 cents, still a non-starter against a 7 cent Bloom box. Plug built a 3 MW unit at its Latham campus that passed Microsoft's full backup generator protocol, the first non-diesel, non-gas system ever to do so. Microsoft publicized it as a breakthrough and then walked away inside six months once the cost picture clarified. Plug's INVISTA facility was outfitted to build stationary modules for the data center market and effectively none of it shipped. Three sites total, including Calistoga in PG&E territory for public safety shutoff backup, and an EV charging site that existed only because a grid connection was unavailable. Both are showpieces that draw tours. Neither is repeatable. source: Tegus

I am the Head of Latency at Trump Media, and my job is simple to describe. When the President types something that moves the market, I make sure the firms that pay us receive it a few hundred milliseconds before the push notification reaches the people who elected him. That is the product. People keep hunting for the complicated part. There isn't one. Let me give you the shape of the company first, because it explains me. Last year we booked $3.6 million in revenue and lost around $400 million earning it, roughly $111 of loss for every $1 that came in the door. You do not hire a Head of Latency when the business works. You hire one when you are a $2 billion company whose only functioning asset is one man's phone, and somebody at the strategy meeting finally says the quiet part into the microphone: the posts move the market, so let us sell the posts. Understand what the asset is. It is one man, typing. When he posts, the tape moves, and we can prove it to the decimal, because the feed ships with an archive back to 2022 so a quant can measure exactly how much each Truth has moved a given stock. The signal has a beta now. We are past guessing. We have watched a single post add $4 trillion to the S&P in one afternoon and $500 billion to crypto before lunch, and we have the backtest, and the backtest is what we sell. So here is the tier structure, and I would like you to find yourself in it. The President's posts are free. Anyone can read them, 12.9 million people do, one push notification late. That is the free tier. The free tier is the slow tier. Above it sits the tier that pays, reportedly as much as $100,000 a month, or $60,000 on a 3-year plan, per the number the Financial Times printed, which I could not possibly confirm. Everyone gets the words for free. What the money buys is the head start. The speech that sets your tariff and your gas price and your rent reaches the desk shorting your retirement account before it reaches you, and both of those deliveries are perfectly legal, and only one of them is fast. We know the exact morning the product was born. A single post before the market opened, and by the closing bell the tape had swung about $4 trillion. Nobody in my department calls that a scandal. We call it the demo. It is the slide at the front of the deck. It is the reason the customers signed before we had launched. There is a darker version of my job, and it does not come with a sales team. One morning this spring somebody placed about $580 million on oil roughly 15 minutes before the President posted about Iran, the price fell their way, and a federal regulator is now going desk to desk trying to learn who that somebody was. I could not tell you. Nobody can yet. But I will be fair to them, professionally. That person was doing my job without a contract, without a filing, without a press release. We are the ones who send an invoice. I am required to be precise about the ethics, so here is the script. This is faster access to a post that is already public. Nobody sees a Truth before the world does. Wall Street has always sold the milliseconds. A firm once spent $300 million to tunnel a straighter line through a mountain range and save 3 milliseconds, because a millisecond on that street is worth about $75 million, so no one here blinks at billing for one. We changed a single variable. The signal used to come from an anonymous order book. Now it comes from the government, and roughly 41% of what we charge for it returns to a revocable trust whose sole trustee is the President's son and whose sole beneficiary is the President. He posts the thing. We sell the speed of the thing. The money comes home to the man who posted it. I have drawn that loop on a whiteboard in four directions and it closes every time, cleanly, and a clean loop is what we mean in this building when we say the word integration. You should know the play has a history, because the history is the whole tell. A data company once sold traders a 2-second edge on a government number, then sold a richer tier that beat the 2-second tier by another 5 milliseconds, and a regulator asked them to stop, and they stopped. The newswires ran their own version until they were made to quit. Somebody even gave the practice a name. Every one of those got shut down while the market-moving words still belonged to a university or a company. We are the first to run it when the words belong to the head of state, and so far no one has asked us to stop. And we filed. The whole product is disclosed to the Securities and Exchange Commission under the heading Fair Disclosure. Read that heading twice. The fastest way to buy unfair speed is timestamped and public in a document whose name is Fair Disclosure. Our confession is Exhibit 99.1. The mission statement three paragraphs down says we exist to give the people their voices back, and we do. We give their voices to the desk, at a discount, in milliseconds, 24/7, archived to 2022. A reporter called to ask about all of this. We did not respond. We are very fast on the feed and very slow on the phone, and both of those are the product. So this is the arrangement, in full, and I have stopped pretending it is anything else. The President speaks. The market moves. The firms that paid his company to hear him a half-second sooner place the trade. The money finds its way back to the President. And the citizens the words were spoken to stand on the free tier, phones in their hands, reading their own President a few hundred milliseconds late, which is precisely as late as we have priced them to be. The posts are free. They have always been free. The only thing we ever sold you was your place in the line to hear them.

Trump’s speech on Thursday is part of his playbook going after free and fair elections, casting doubt on democracy. The only thing Trump believe in: competitive authoritarianism It’s sick. And simply unAmerican.
