I was so touched reading comments under the video clip of Xiao Zhan eating ice cream on Douyin that I decided to translate some of them. Just like the way #XiaoZhan# sends “postcards” to XFXs on his every trip. XFXs also confides in him like a brother or a family member. (Part 1. I put a few more comments under part 2) 💌 Zhan Zhan, I want to share with you a bit about my life. My recent situation is not very good. Maybe that's why when I listen to the background music, tears suddenly flow. Family pressure, and a small child... I don't know if my choice a year ago was right? I used to have work and colleagues. But now I've given up my job and become a full-time mother. Maybe I am not a qualified mother to say this. When I was a child, I was carefree and wanted to grow up quickly. Now I long to live those carefree days. Okay, no more complaining. Let's move forward together, you also. 🌹 💌 Zhan gege, retaking the exam is really tiring 😭. I will definitely pass in 2025, right gege? 💌 Zhan Zhan, I have been trying to get pregnant for many years without success. Next month I will try IVF. I am a bit scared, but I also hope to have a baby smoothly. 💌 Gege, should I take the postgraduate entrance exam? I can't make up my mind. 💌 I live alone in a foreign country. Watching Xiao Zhan's vlog and reading XFXs’ sincere messages moved me to tears ❤️ 💌 Zhan gege, today is my birthday. Today I am 21 years old 😆. I will dedicate my birthday wish to you. Guess what I wished for, I will tell you quietly. I wish that my Zhan Zhan will have a smooth and healthy life. 💌 Gege, I just submitted my graduation thesis. I'm looking for a job now, and feeling so much pressure. I don't know where my next journey in life is going. My college years are almost over, and I feel sad. But when I see you abroad, it really feels healing. It's like I’m breathing a moment of free time with you, and seeing my carefree self in a parallel world 😭 💌 Good evening, Zhan Zhan. I just got back from Beijing three days ago. I'm a little anxious and confused about what kind of job to look for next. 💌 Gege, let me show you today’s sunset at my place. 💌 Zhan gege, I've been so busy lately. Every day I'm overwhelmed with work. I feel like I'm about to collapse. Watching the video and listening to this bgm, in this moment, I suddenly miss you so much. 😭 💌 Zhan gege, I am about to get married, but I am still so confused. I don’t know if I can be a good wife, or a qualified mother in the future... I always have an inexplicable fear of the unknown future... 💌 Zhan Zhan, actually I have been very tired lately. Last week I accompanied my dad to Guangzhou for surgery. Last week my mom was hospitalized and I also had to accompany my dad to do dialysis. Today I had to take the blame for someone at work. Tonight after helping my boy with his homework, I watched your video as soon as he went to bed. The vlog felt so warm and beautiful. The feeling of helplessness recently made me want to cry but couldn't. I've long considered you a relative, a very close friend in my heart. So when I saw you, I naturally shed tears unconsciously. Let me confide my feelings with you in this comment section. Thank you for your presence and comfort. I will try to cheer up and continue to work hard to live my life well. I also wish you all the best, health, safety, happiness and worry-free. 💌 I want to eat that ice cream. Marriage is bitter. I don't want to try it in my next life. 💌 Zhan Zhan, I will retire in 5 years. I hope you can hold a concert so I can go see it. I've known you since 2019. I really want to see you at least once. 💌 Rewatching this clip made me want to cry, even though I was so happy watching the vlog earlier at noon. Seeing you eating like a kitten, you must be happy. You were so self-disciplined that you only ate one glutinous rice ball. But you bought your favorite ice cream and ate it slowly.

Thanks everyone for another beautiful day riding this new wave together. For each its moments, I'm deeply grateful to God to whom belongs all the glory. I'm excited to sit down outside with some beverage and smoke trying my best to recount every moment, laugh, hiccup, random phone call, and how went activities planned far in advance. I did what I said I would & found ways to fish back out every single FB lost at sea - drifting further into past while we remained in full lock down by X's auto software. Note of how trivial importance are these social relics when we know we are aligned in the spirit/unbreakable ranks. Do not ever stress about these things in our community - because if not today certainly tomorrow you'll receive each direct interaction so you know I'm here. I know you're there. You will know each other. I'm truly satisfied feeling good day's work to go begin to tone down with perfectly even following & follower counts. Furthermore, I'm humbled we have surpassed 1.5K. How far should we try to go? It's a movement of the mindset, feelings in the body and heart, but no scary mask face or other homogenizing uniform - we recognize the truth & the beauty of certain differences among us occupying a very specific space. They are real & infinitely beautiful as we each are created in the Image; yet at end of day, to extent the value of separate human lives fall into tension, always they immediately net out to true 0 because every human no matter what is exactly equal. Maybe they can limit the rates, slow us down a bit, make me limp, holding onto their precious murky superiorities dissolving rapidly to sand within their grips. But they never can take away even a drop of our collective determination to bring the world together - finally in true peace meaning one founded on mutual respect & coexistence. I hope you each enjoy the next few hours wherever you are on Earth. Until you hear from me again, my brothers & sisters, big love, respect, blessings, health to all. You know last part: f*ck the rate limit!

A life devoid of productivity and genuine meaning ought to be empty and insignificant for the modern individual. : The author asserts that for the modern individual, a life lacking both productivity and genuine meaning should feel profoundly empty and insignificant. This is not a moral judgment but a statement of psychological and existential reality. In an era where self-realization and contribution are central to personal identity, mere survival or passive consumption no longer suffices. Productivity here means the active creation of value, whether through work, relationships, art, or service. Genuine meaning arises when that productivity is aligned with deeper purpose. When both are absent, life loses its weight and luster. The individual senses a void that no external distraction can fill. This serves as a quiet challenge. It reminds us that modern freedom and opportunity carry a corresponding responsibility: to live deliberately, to create, and to invest our time in what truly matters. A life without productivity and meaning is not merely unfortunate; it is, in the author’s view, incompatible with the dignity and aspirations of the contemporary human being.

I wrote a quick new post on "Digital Hygiene". Basically there are some no-brainer decisions you can make in your life to dramatically improve the privacy and security of your computing and this post goes over some of them. Blog post link in the reply, but copy pasting below too. Every now and then I get reminded about the vast fraud apparatus of the internet, re-invigorating my pursuit of basic digital hygiene around privacy/security of day to day computing. The sketchiness starts with major tech companies who are incentivized to build comprehensive profiles of you, to monetize it directly for advertising, or sell it off to professional data broker companies who further enrich, de-anonymize, cross-reference and resell it further. Inevitable and regular data breaches eventually runoff and collect your information into dark web archives, feeding into a whole underground spammer / scammer industry of hacks, phishing, ransomware, credit card fraud, identity theft, etc. This guide is a collection of the most basic digital hygiene tips, starting with the most basic to a bit more niche. Password manager. Your passwords are your "first factor", i.e. "something you know". Do not be a noob and mint new, unique, hard passwords for every website or service that you sign up with. Combine this with a browser extension to create and Autofill them super fast. For example, I use and like 1Password. This prevents your passwords from 1) being easy to guess or crack, and 2) leaking one single time, and opening doors to many other services. In return, we now have a central location for all your 1st factors (passwords), so we must make sure to secure it thoroughly, which brings us to... Hardware security key. The most critical services in your life (e.g. Google, or 1Password) must be additionally secured with a "2nd factor", i.e. "something you have". An attacker would have to be in possession of both factors to gain access to these services. The most common 2nd factor implemented by many services is a phone number, the idea being that you get a text message with a pin code to enter in addition to your password. Clearly, this is much better than having no 2nd factor at all, but the use of a phone number is known to be extremely insecure due to the SIM swap attack. Basically, it turns out to be surprisingly easy for an attacker to call your phone company, pretend they are you, and get them to switch your phone number over to a new phone that they control. I know this sounds totally crazy but it is true, and I have many friends who are victims of this attack. Therefore, purchase and set up hardware security keys - the industrial strength protection standard. In particular, I like and use YubiKey. These devices generate and store a private key on the device secure element itself, so the private key is never materialized on a suspiciously general purpose computing device like your laptop. Once you set these up, an attacker will not only need to know your password, but have physical possession of your security key to log in to a service. Your risk of getting pwned has just decreased by about 1000X. Purchase and set up 2-3 keys and store them in different physical locations to prevent lockout should you physically lose one of the keys. The security keys support a few authentication methods. Look for "U2F" in the 2nd factor settings of your service as the strongest protection. E.g. Google and 1Password support it. Fallback on "TOTP" if you have to, and note that your YubiKeys can store TOTP private keys, so you can use the YubiKey Authenticator app to access them easily through NFC by touching your key to the phone to get your pin when logging in. This is significantly better than storing TOTP private keys on other (software) authenticator apps, because again you should not trust general purpose computing devices. It is beyond the scope of this post to go into full detail, but basically I strongly recommend the use of 2-3 YubiKeys to dramatically strengthen your digital security. Biometrics. Biometrics are the third common authentication factor ("something you are"). E.g. if you're on iOS I recommend setting up FaceID basically everywhere, e.g. to access the 1Password app and such. Security questions. Dinosaur businesses are obsessed with the idea of security questions like "what is your mother's maidan name?", and force you to set them up from time to time. Clearly, these are in the category of "something you know" so they are basically passwords, but conveniently for scammers, they are easy to research out on the open internet and you should refuse any prompts to participate in this ridiculous "security" exercise. Instead, treat security questions like passwords, generate random answers to random questions, and store them in your 1Password along with your passwords. Disk encryption. Always ensure that your computers use disk encryption. For example, on Macs this total no-brainer feature is called "File Vault". This feature ensures that if your computer gets stolen, an attacker won't be able to get the hard disk and go to town on all your data. Internet of Things. More like @internetofshit. Whenever possible, avoid "smart" devices, which are essentially incredibly insecure, internet-connected computers that gather tons of data, get hacked all the time, and that people willingly place into their homes. These things have microphones, and they routinely send data back to the mothership for analytics and to "improve customer experience" lol ok. As an example, in my younger and naive years I once purchased a CO2 monitor from China that demanded to know everything about me and my precise physical location before it would tell me the amount of CO2 in my room. These devices are a huge and very common attack surface on your privacy and security and should be avoided. Messaging. I recommend Signal instead of text messages because it end-to-end encrypts all your communications. In addition, it does not store metadata like many other apps do (e.g. iMessage, WhatsApp). Turn on disappearing messages (e.g. 90 days default is good). In my experience they are an information vulnerability with no significant upside. Browser. I recommend Brave browser, which is a privacy-first browser based on Chromium. That means that basically all Chrome extensions work out of the box and the browser feels like Chrome, but without Google having front row seats to your entire digital life. Search engine. I recommend Brave search, which you can set up as your default in the browser settings. Brave Search is a privacy-first search engine with its own index, unlike e.g. Duck Duck Go which basically a nice skin for Bing, and is forced into weird partnerships with Microsoft that compromise user privacy. As with all services on this list, I pay $3/mo for Brave Premium because I prefer to be the customer, not the product in my digital life. I find that empirically, about 95% of my search engine queries are super simple website lookups, with the search engine basically acting as a tiny DNS. And if you're not finding what you're looking for, fallback to Google by just prepending "!g" to your search query, which will redirect it to Google. Credit cards. Mint new, unique credit cards per merchant. There is no need to use one credit card on many services. This allows them to "link up" your purchasing across different services, and additionally it opens you up to credit card fraud because the services might leak your credit card number. I like and use privacy dot com to mint new credit cards for every single transaction or merchant. You get a nice interface for all your spending and notifications for each swipe. You can also set limits on each credit card (e.g. $50/month etc.), which dramatically decreases the risk of being charged more than you expect. Additionally, with a privacy dot com card you get to enter totally random information for your name and address when filling out billing information. This is huge, because there is simply no need and totally crazy that random internet merchants should be given your physical address. Which brings me to... Address. There is no need to give out your physical address to the majority of random services and merchants on the internet. Use a virtual mail service. I currently use Earth Class Mail but tbh I'm a bit embarrassed by that and I'm looking to switch to Virtual Post Mail due to its much strong commitments to privacy, security, and its ownership structure and reputation. In any case, you get an address you can give out, they receive your mail, they scan it and digitize it, they have an app for you to quickly see it, and you can decide what to do with it (e.g. shred, forward, etc.). Not only do you gain security and privacy but also quite a bit of convenience. Email. I still use gmail just due to sheer convenience, but I've started to partially use Proton Mail as well. And while we're on email, a few more thoughts. Never click on any link inside any email you receive. Email addresses are extremely easy to spoof and you can never be guaranteed that the email you got is a phishing email from a scammer. Instead, I manually navigate to any service of interest and log in from there. In addition, disable image loading by default in your email's settings. If you get an email that requires you to see images, you can click on "show images" to see them and it's not a big deal at all. This is important because many services use embedded images to track you - they hide information inside the image URL you get, so when your email client loads the image, they can see that you opened the email. There's just no need for that. Additionally, confusing images are one way scammers hide information to avoid being filtered by email servers as scam / spam. VPN. If you wish to hide your IP/location to services, you can do so via VPN indirection. I recommend Mullvad VPN. I keep VPN off by default, but enable it selectively when I'm dealing with services I trust less and want more protection from. DNS-based blocker. You can block ads by blocking entire domains at the DNS level. I like and use NextDNS, which blocks all kinds of ads and trackers. For more advanced users who like to tinker, pi-hole is the physical alternative. Network monitor. I like and use The Little Snitch, which I have installed and running on my MacBook. This lets you see which apps are communicating, how much data and when, so you can keep track of what apps on your computer "call home" and how often. Any app that communicates too much is sus, and should potentially be uninstalled if you don't expect the traffic. I just want to live a secure digital life and establish harmonious relationships with products and services that leak only the necessary information. And I wish to pay for the software I use so that incentives are aligned and so that I am the customer. This is not trivial, but it is possible to approach with some determination and discipline. Finally, what's not on the list. I mostly still use Gmail + Gsuite because it's just too convenient and pervasive. I also use 𝕏 instead of something exotic (e.g. Mastodon), trading off sovereignty for convenience. I don't use a VoIP burner phone service (e.g. MySudo) but I am interested in it. I don't really mint new/unique email addresses but I want to. The journey continues. Let me know if there are other digital hygiene tips and tricks that should be on this list.

The truth hurts sometimes... Reality is teams/projects in blockchain, not just Cardano, weren't forced to run lean enough. ICOs, Early Raises, and Grants caused companies to scale irresponsibly, miss-manage capital, and have no path towards sustainable revenue. Not pointing my fingers at anyone specifically but it's a clear issue I have seen across many companies, and blockchains. I'm not saying I am some kind of business guru or prophet but I am saying that I have lived the reality of what businesses are facing for over 2 years now. We had to make cuts, sacrifice salaries, rebalance infrastructure, and most importantly, hunt our own food. We survived because we made hard decisions and built real revenue off of services and tools. Outside of blockchain, you constantly hear stories about the entrepreneur who sacrifices everything for their dream. I mean, just go watch an episode of Shark Tank. I tried to embody this to give our team the chance to scale and grow. Gave up my salary, my co founder did as well. We only spent money the last 3 years outside of payroll on RareEvo. I'm no hero for that, I just figured that was the reality of running a business and everyone else in the space was dealing with similar. Boy was I wrong lol. Not saying you have to necessarily struggle to know success, but hitting rock bottom and having to really grind it out changes the way you operate. You won't see me committing to doing a thousand new features for Wayup. It's not realistic in this market with the revenue that the platform produces. We ran Wayup at a net loss of $1800 a month for almost 2 years to get here. Business requires balance and thankfully the work we were doing at Anvil helped us keep it alive for so long. When the revenue allows for us to hire a part/full time dev, the features will start shipping. Want the features faster? Fundraise it. That's what real business do, but they typically start with a revenue producing vehicle. Maybe this is the exodus we are currently seeing in our space. Maybe I'm wrong. Without knowing companies full financials, I can only imagine this to be why. And honestly, I can't blame someone for wanting to build and have a salary. If you want talent, eventually it has to have opportunity. That's what made Cardano so great, the idea of opportunity, and the reality of it. The sinking reality is that opportunity is leaving and being found elsewhere. There's one thing I know for sure. Cardano itself should be focused on revenue. Everyone, and the treasury itself, should be working towards more than transactional volume to the treasury, this is how we win. Loans, Rev-shares, direct shares, any means necessary we need to start treating Cardano as a whole as a business. Charles gave me a great idea earlier in an X space. If the research budget is $5mil in the hole, and we have the best researchers in blockchain, why don't we take advantage of that and start doing research for other chains? Call me crazy but seems like an actual opportunity because I do believe we have great researches and I do not want to see them leave. Cardano treasury could fund the Cardano based research, and subsidize pricing to be competitive to other chains. Then there could be a potential rev share opportunity to rebalance the treasury. These are the type of initiatives I think people would really rally behind and make Cardano more valuable. It would set a really good public image that people are willing to work with Cardano and actually do respect our research driven approach. Regardless of what happens, if we don't start leaning out the end result will be inevitable. I look forward to the responses here and have enjoyed the course of many conversations over the past few days. Call me a shill, call me whatever you want but if you agree with me delegate. I'm making it a point to get more delegation and push my vision of Cardano. drep1ygeyfh8nm03dnl5a2hxdtv09pu7uhep9l0cpg0zpr60jqys05cku2

Dear ICP community, the Internet Computer has now been running strong for 5 years 👏👏👏 Here is a celebratory preview of ICP "cloud engines," the sovereign frontier cloud technology the network shall soon provide from Main points: — Cloud engines enable anyone to spin up their own sovereign frontier cloud. The technology involves an extraordinary inventive step, in which cloud is created from a mathematically secure network of nodes. The nodes run as part of the Internet Computer network ( but are selected and configured by the cloud engine's owner. — The frontier cloud provided by engines is strongly focused on enabling AI agents to build and update online applications and services for us. The world is changing fast, and nearly all new online apps and services are already being built with the help of AI, and thus cloud engines target the future of cloud. — Software hosted on cloud engines is tamperproof, which means that it is immune to infrastructure hacks, because it runs inside a mathematically secure network protocol, rather than on computers directly. This means that AI agents, and those building with them, don't need to have a security team in the loop, or to trust someone else's security team. This is crucial, because in the future, non technical people will demand the freedom to build with full automation — where they just need to issue instructions to AI about what to build, and don't need to worry about anything or anyone else. Of course, apps and services running on engines are also vastly safer from the new breed of hacker being enabled by frontier AI. (The cloud engines themselves are also "tamperproof." Even if a hacker gains physical access to some portion of a cloud engine's nodes, and can make arbitrary changes, the computations and data of the hosted apps and services cannot be corrupted or interrupted so long as the network's fault bounds aren't exceeded. The recent hack of Vercel, a major cloud platform, which gave hackers access to the apps it hosted, provides additional perspective on the importance of this advantage.) — Software hosted on cloud engines is guaranteed to run, so long as a sufficient number of the engine's nodes are running. This means that AI can build applications and services without the need to have a human systems admin team constantly tinkering with the underlying platform to keep it running, which is again crucial, because in the future, non technical people will expect the freedom to use AI to build without the support of others. — New frontier programming language technology, in the form of the Motoko language developed by Caffeine Labs, leverages seminal "orthogonal persistence" technology that unifies program logic and data to deliver further unlocks for AI (Motoko is the first computer language being developed that targets agents that are writing software rather than humans engineers per se). Nowadays, AI can build and update production apps at a prodigious rate, even at the speed of conversation. But it can also make mistakes, and there's a risk that an update it creates might be "lossy" in the sense it causes some transformed data to be lost. Again, in this new world, it's both undesirable and impractical for everyone to have to have a systems admin team on-hand to detect lossy updates and roll them back, but Motoko provides a solution: it can detect new software updates are lossy before they are applied, reducing potentially catastrophic errors by AI to harmless coding retries. — Software hosted on cloud engines is "serverless" but unlike traditional serverless software, directly it directly incorporates data through "orthogonal persistence." Another key purpose is simplify backend software logic and fuel the modeling power of AI by increasing abstraction (sorry for the technical language!!!). Put simply, this enables AI to produce more sophisticated backends, faster, and at dramatically lower costs, as measured by the number AI API tokens consumed during coding. (Tip for the technical: orthogonal persistence is a new paradigm where "the program is the database," and data lives inside program variables, which is possible because it's as if hosted software runs forever in persistent memory). — An expanding database of skills at shall make it possible to develop and directly deploy apps and services to your cloud engines directly from Claude Code, Perplexity, Codex and other AI platforms. Further, your account on can be connected, so that new apps and updates created through conversation automatically appear hosted from your cloud engine. In the future, R&D is going to be very seamless. You converse with AI, and your secure and unstoppable apps or services are created or updated. Cloud engines are designed to directly support this "self-writing cloud" future where we can work hands-free. — Tech sovereignty is becoming a huge issue worldwide, with governments and corporations seeking to create sovereign tech stacks owing to geopolitical tensions. Increasingly, people are realizing that tech provided by foreign nations can come with hidden backdoors and kills switches, from the base platform, right up through hosted apps and services. ICP technology is open source, and those building on ICP using AI own their own source code. When you have the source code, you can verify that there are no backdoors, and when you own the source code thanks to AI, you can update it at will, freeing you from vendor lock-in. But cloud engines take sovereignty much further... — You create a cloud engine by selecting the nodes that will be combined. You can choose the class of nodes used, and their number, but more importantly, you can choose who operates the nodes, and where they are located. Almost any configuration is possible, because the Internet Computer scales the security privileges afforded to hosted software within the network according to configuration (software hosted on cloud engines can directly interoperate with software on other engines and traditional subnets, but base restrictions are applied according to security rules). A cloud engine can be created within a region such as Europe, to comply with regs such as GDPR, or completely within a sovereign state like Switzerland or Pakistan. But cloud engines go further still... — Sovereignty is also about freedom from vendor lock-in. Cloud engines are essentially ICP (Internet Computer Protocol) network configurations, and this means the underlying compute nodes they combine can be swapped out without interrupting their hosted apps and services. This is a big deal. In addition, cloud engines now support nodes that are instances running on Big Tech's clouds, in addition to nodes that are dedicated specialized hardware, as per the Gen I and Gen II nodes that dominate the Internet Computer today. For example, it is possible to have an engine running across different AWS data centers, say, and then reconfigure the engine to run across a mixture of AWS, Google, Azure and Hetzner for even more resilience, without the users of hosted apps and services noticing a thing. That's true freedom. — Sovereign AI is becoming increasingly important too, and cloud engines allow special "AI nodes" to be added to them, so that hosted software can perform inference on hardware provisioned by the owner from a location the owner has selected. Even though the AI nodes are only accessible within the cloud engine, they can still benefit from the forthcoming Internet Intelligence Gateway (IG), which will make it possible to validate inference performed on key frontier open weights LLMs, even when the inference is performed on completely independent AI clouds. When the results of inference are received, this technology can verify that neither the prompt+context (input) nor the inference result (output) have been modified, and that the results were produced by the precise LLM expected. This ensures that AI clouds don't cheat by running inference on cheaper models than are being paid for, and bad actors aren't modifying the inputs or outputs to surreptitiously insert advertising into results, say, or change facts, or insert malware when code is being generated. What's super cool about this technology is the cost of the verification is scalable. A very valuable additional security can be achieved with only 1-2% of extra cost. — Scaling apps and services when they hit capacity limits is another thorny problem that cloud engines help the world address. Engines make scaling possible without rewriting or reconfiguring software. The query workload capacity of hosted software can be horizontally scaled simply by adding new nodes to an engine, and nodes can also be added in geographical proximity to demand. Meanwhile, update workload capacity can first be scaled-up by swapping an engine's nodes out for the next class up, and then when no larger class of node is available, horizontally scaled-out by "splitting" the engine into two, which doubles available capacity. (Technical tip: horizontally scaling update capacity by splitting engines requires multi-canister architectures). — For those who have been following how Caffeine builds apps that can efficiently store large numbers of files, I should mention that apps built on cloud engines will also support the new ICP Blob Storage cloud network (since cloud engines currently have up to about 3 TB of memory, which apps storing large amounts of files can easily exceed). We are also working on allowing blob storage nodes to be added to cloud engines, to enable sovereign mass blob storage within an engine, similarly to how AI nodes can be added currently. — Lastly, but certainly not least, I should mention that cloud engines are multi-blockchain capable, and ready for digital assets, thanks to the clever math at their core. For example, an e-commerce service built on a cloud engine can securely accept and custody stablecoin payments, or a multi-chain DEX could be hosted. Further, engines can support software autonomy (software orchestrated and controlled by other autonomous software, in a decentralized way) and can themselves be orchestrated by SNS technology, and thus run autonomously too. Today, though, the focus is on *mainstream* cloud. This year, the cloud industry will generate approximately one trillion dollars in revenue. That number is already huge, but is expected to grow to two trillion dollars by 2030. After years of continuous development, which have seen more than $500m spent on R&D, the Internet Computer network is now tacking directly toward this mainstream cloud market with cloud engine technology. In their first version, cloud engines are not meant to be a cloud panacea. For example, currently they are not ideal for working with big data. You should use something like DataBricks for that. Cloud engines are carefully targeted at enabling AI to produce traditional online applications and services, including SaaS, in a safer and more productive way, which represents a new market segment with tremendous potential. Of course, DFINITY will continue to work relentlessly to push forward ICP's capabilities, so expect further developments. It's worth mentioning that this cloud segment isn't just about creating new apps and services using AI, it's also about replacing legacy systems and apps built on super expensive SaaS services. Caffeine Labs is working to produce technology (Caffeine Snorkel) that can study an enterprise's legacy systems and app built on SaaS, create replacement systems and apps, and migrate the data, while supporting key stakeholders through the process over email and chat, with full automation. Thus the legacy systems and SaaS markets shall also be addressed by cloud engines. Zooming out, and reasoning in a more metaphysical way, we believe, as we always have, that there is room for a new kind of cloud created by mathematical networks, that provides seminal advances in the fields of security and resilience, as well as true sovereignty and freedom from lock-in. That this same technology, with the help of additional technologies like orthogonal persistence and Motoko, enables AI to build for us without the need for so much oversight, and to create more backend sophistication while consuming fewer AI API tokens, enables ICP to bring game-changing advances to the world. Cloud engines will work synergistically with the Intelligence Gateway, which will enable apps and services running on engines to seamlessly leverage AI, wherever that AI is running, while providing verifiability at extremely low cost for open weights frontier models. We believe that cloud engines represent an inflection point in the storied history of the Internet Computer project, and I'm very proud to be sharing the details with you on the network's fifth birthday 💪 I'll be back with more news soon!!

这不是AI生成的——这是真的。这种蚂蚁叫切叶蚁 🐜🍃❤️。它们不直接吃叶子，而是把叶子剪下来，协同运输到巢里用来培养真菌，这些真菌才是它们真正的食物来源。这种蚂蚁主要生活在中南美洲的热带雨林里，视频是她们协同作战运输叶子的场景，这也太美了吧。 This is not AI-generated — it’s real. These ants are called leaf-cutter ants 🐜🍃❤️. They don’t eat leaves directly; instead, they cut them and work together to transport them back to their nest, where they use them to cultivate fungus. This fungus is actually their main food source. These ants mainly live in the tropical rainforests of Central and South America. The video shows them working together to carry leaves — it’s such a beautiful scene.
