Solayer – Hardware Accelerated Finance at the Speed of Metal

Joshua Sum is the Chief Product Officer at Solayer, a hardware accelerated network built to move money at the speed of metal. Joshua joins Andy Pickering to explain how dedicated chip-level infrastructure is pushing blockchain throughput into territory no software-only chain can reach — and why that matters as payments, AI agents, and real-world asset tokenization all converge on the same rails. Why you should listen Joshua's path to crypto ran through direct-to-consumer e-commerce, a founding quant role at Treehouse, and building CollegeDow into the largest university blockchain network in the world, spanning around 120 campuses globally. He joined Solayer as a founding engineer and has grown with the company over two years into his current role leading product across multiple lines. He walks through how Solayer evolved from pioneering restaking on Solana — using it as a tool to improve transaction reliability and throughput — into building a full hardware accelerated Layer 1 that uses the Solana Virtual Machine but separates consensus across dedicated machines connected by low-latency, high-bandwidth equipment. The result is battle-tested performance of 200,000 to 300,000 transactions per second using messy, real-world transaction types, not the synthetic benchmarks that get loosely thrown around in the space. The conversation covers Solayer's $35 million ecosystem fund and why the team deliberately avoided a grants model in favour of a venture approach, investing in founders building sustainable, revenue-generating businesses rather than handing out free money for narrative-driven experiments. Joshua walks through three early-stage portfolio projects: Docs Exchange, a full-suite DeFi trading platform; BuffTrade, an AI agent launchpad where bots trade on your behalf and back their tokens with actual strategy performance; and SpoutFi, which tokenizes equities and lets users borrow against them the way high-net-worth individuals already do — without selling, and without triggering a tax event. Each use case maps directly back to the throughput thesis: more agents, more users, more overlapping state means you need a chain that can actually handle the load. Joshua also breaks down Solayer's consumer-facing push through Solayer Pay, which includes a mobile app, rotating private addresses for peer-to-peer transfers, and the Emerald crypto card with built-in travel rewards and partner airdrops. He explains why the chain will launch with SOL as its gas token — removing the onboarding friction that kills adoption on new L1s — before introducing a dual-token model with LAYER as the ecosystem matures. The episode closes with Joshua's take on the current market: tough conditions are positive for the long term because they flush out narrative-driven projects and reward teams building real products with real revenue, which is exactly where Solayer wants to be.

I extend my heartfelt appreciation to my cousins: Joy Mayers, Kevin and Ernest Mayers, Donna Archer, Avis Dyer, and Jackie Clarke. Your love and camaraderie have enriched my life beyond measure. To my uncles, Clifford, Leonard Mayers, David Bruce, and Collin Rock, your support has been invaluable, strengthening the bonds of our family. To my children, Laron and Lisa, grandson Elijah you are my pride and joy, the motivation behind my work, fuelling my desire to create and inspire.Moreover, I am equally grateful to all who have believed in me and wanted nothing but the best for my growth.

The Wizard of Oz by Frank Baum原文Chapter Five: The Old Man from KansasThe little green man opened the door.He gave them all glasses.Then he took them through the city to the Wizard's house.There,in the long green room, the friends waited and waited and waited.After three hours, the Scarecrow said, 'I'm tired of waiting.'He called the green man, 'We want to see the Wizard now, or we're going to call the magic monkeys. Please tell the Wizard that.'The green man went away to speak to the Wizard through the door.The Wizard knew about the magic monkeys, and he was very afraid of them.So he said to the green man, 'These people can come and see me at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.'At nine o'clock, the green man took the friends to the Wizard's room.They went in and looked all round, but they could not see anybody.Then a voice said, 'I am the Wizard of Oz. Who are you and what do you want?''Where are you?' asked Dorothy.'Ah,I am everywhere, but you can't see me. Now, answer me. Who are you and what do you want?''You know us all,' said the scarecrow, 'You said to me, “help Dorothy to kill the Witch of the West, and you can have some brains.” Well, the Witch is dead. And now I want my brains.''And I want my heart,' said the Tin Man.'And I want to be brave,' said the Cowardly Lion.'And I want to go home to Kansas,' said Dorothy.'Is the witch truly dead?' asked the voice.'Yes,'said Dorothy, 'I threw a bucket of water over her, and she disappeared. ''Very well,' said the voice, 'Come again tomorrow. I must think about things first and…''No,'said the Tin Man, 'I want my heart now.''I'm not going to wait another minute,' said the Scarecrow.'And I'm going to eat you,' the Lion shouted very angrily.Toto was afraid, he jumped away from the Lion and hit a screen near the wall.The screen fell over, and behind it, the friends saw an old man with no hair.The Tin Man looked angry and picked up his axe.'Who are you?' he said.'Please don't hurt me,' said the old man in a quiet little voice, 'I'm the Wizard of Oz.''But the Wizard of Oz is a big head without body,' said Dorothy.'No,he's a beautiful woman,' said the Scarecrow.'You're wrong,' said the tin man, 'The Wizard of Oz is a big animal with two heads.''No,'said the lion, 'The Wizard is a ball of fire.''You're all wrong,' said the old man, 'I am the Wizard. Well, I'm not a true Wizard.Oh, I know a lot of tricks, but I don't know any true magic. You see, I'm from Kansas too. I went from town to town and did magic tricks, and I went up in a big balloon. The balloon was always on a rope. But one day something went wrong,the rope broke and the balloon blew away. For a long time, the wind carried my balloon across the sky. Then I came down here in the country of Oz. The people saw my balloon and said, “This man is a Wizard. He comes out of the sky.” They were afraid of me and wanted to work for me. So they built this city for me,and I called it the Emerald city. Well, emeralds are green, so I made green glasses for everybody. That's why everything in the city looks green.'The Scarecrow took off his glasses.'Oh,'he said, 'Now I understand the Emerald city isn't green. It just looks Green.''It's all a trick that's right,' said the old man, 'Well,all that happened many years ago. I never went out because I was afraid of the two bad witches. Now they are dead. Thanks to you, Dorothy. But I'm very sorry.I don't know any true magic, so I can't help you.''You're a very bad man,' said Dorothy.'No,my child, I am a very good man, but I am a very bad Wizard. That's true.''What about my brains?' said the Scarecrow.'You don't need brains. You understand things. You can think. you learn quickly. You are very clever.''I want brains,' said the Scarecrow.'Very well,' said the old man, ' I can give you some brains tomorrow morning.''What about my heart?' asked the Tin Man.'You don't need a heart,' said the old man, 'You laugh, you cry, you love, you feel sorry for people.'The Tin Man looked angry and picked up his axe.'All right, please don't hurt me,' said the old man, 'I can give you a heart tomorrow morning.''And I want to be brave,' said the Cowardly Lion.'But you are brave. You do a lot of brave things. No, no, don't eat me. Come here tomorrow morning. I'm going to make you brave.''What about Toto and me?' asked Dorothy.'We can go up in my balloon,' said the Wizard, 'The wind blew us here from Kansas.Perhaps it can blow us back to Kansas again.'The next morning, the friends came again to the Wizard's room.The old man was ready.He took a bottle with brains on it in big green letters and carefully opened the Scarecrow's head.'Don't move. I'm putting your brains in,' he said, 'There, now, you're the cleverest scarecrow in Oz.'The Scarecrow thanked him.Next,the Wizard gave the Tin Man a small red heart.'Wear this always.' he said.The Tin Man was very happy and thanked the Wizard again and again.Then the old man took a bottle with be brave on it.'Drink this,' he said to the Cowardly Lion.The Lion drank.'Yes, yes, I feel brave.' He shouted, 'Very, very brave. Thank you.'The wizard smiled at them.'You didn't need my magic.' he said, 'But you're all happy now and that's a good thing now.''Dorothy,'He said, 'Come and see my balloon. It's already I mended it last night.'They went out into the garden behind the Wizard's house.The balloon was very big.There was a small box under it, and the Wizard of Oz jumped into the box.'Come on, Dorothy,' he shouted, 'We're going to Kansas. Say good bye to dear friends.'Dorothy kissed the Scarecrow, the Lion and the Tin Man, and said 'Good bye.''Come on, Toto,' she said, 'We're going home to Kansas. We're going to see Aunt Em and Uncle Henry.'But just then, Toto saw a cat. He jumped out of Dorothy's arms and ran after it.'Toto!'called Dorothy, and she began to run after him.翻译第五章:来自堪萨斯的老人那个绿色的小人打开了门。他给他们每人发了眼镜。然后他带着他们穿过城市,来到了巫师的住所。在那里,在那间长长的绿色房间里,朋友们一直在等待着。三个小时后,稻草人说:“我已经等得不耐烦了。”他叫那个绿色的小人:“我们现在想见见巫师,否则我们就叫那些魔法猴子来了。请告诉巫师。”绿色的小人离开那里去通过门和巫师交谈。巫师知道有关那些魔法猴子的事,他非常害怕它们。所以他对绿色的小人说:“这些人明天早上九点可以来见我。”九点钟的时候,绿色的小人带着朋友们去了巫师的房间。他们进去后四处看了看,但什么也没看到。然后一个声音说道:“我是奥兹巫师。你们是谁?想要什么?”“你在哪里?”多萝西问道。“啊,我无处不在,但你们看不到我。现在,请回答我。你们是谁?想要什么?”“你们认识我们所有人,”稻草人说,“你对我说过,‘帮我杀死西方女巫,你就能得到一些头脑。'好了,女巫已经死了。现在我想要我的头脑。”“还有我想要我的心脏,”铁皮人说。“还有我想要勇敢起来。”胆小的狮子说道。“还有我想回堪萨斯州的家去。”多萝西说道。“那个女巫真的死了吗?”那个声音问道。“是的,”多萝西说,“我朝她身上泼了一桶水,她就消失了。”“那好吧,”那个声音说道,“明天再来吧。我得先考虑一下事情才行……”“不,”铁皮人说,“我现在就要我的心脏。”“我不打算再等一分钟了,”稻草人说道。“而且我要吃掉你。”狮子愤怒地大喊道。托托很害怕,他从狮子身边跳开,撞到了靠近墙边的一个屏风上。屏风倒下了,屏风后面,朋友们看到了一个没有头发的老人。铁皮人看起来很生气,拿起了他的斧头。“你是谁?”他问道。“请别伤害我,”老人用轻柔的声音小声说道,“我是奥兹巫师。”“但奥兹巫师是个没有身体的大脑袋,”多萝西说。“不,他是位美丽的女人,”稻草人说。“你错了,”铁皮人说,“奥兹巫师是个有两只脑袋的大动物。”“不,”狮子说,“巫师是个燃烧着的火球。”“你们都错了,”老人说,“我是巫师。嗯,我不是真正的巫师。我知道很多把戏,但我不知道任何真正的魔法。你瞧,我也来自堪萨斯州。我四处游历,表演魔术,还坐过一次大气球。那气球总是系在一根绳子上。但有一天出了问题,绳子断了,气球飞走了。很长一段时间里,风带着我的气球在天空中飘荡。然后我来到了奥兹国的这片土地上。人们看到了我的气球,说:“这个人是个巫师。他从天上降下来。”他们害怕我,想为我效力。于是他们为我建起了这座城市,我把它命名为翡翠城。嗯,翡翠是绿色的,所以我给每个人都做了绿色的眼镜。这就是为什么城里的所有东西看起来都是绿色的。”稻草人摘下了他的眼镜。“哦,”他说,“现在我明白了翡翠城并不是绿色的。它只是看起来是绿色的。”“这一切都是个骗局,没错。”老人说道。“嗯,这一切都发生在很多年前了。我因为害怕那两个邪恶的女巫而没有出去。现在她们已经死了。多亏了你,多萝西。但我非常抱歉。我并不知道任何真正的魔法,所以无法帮助你。”“你是个非常坏的人。”多萝西说道。“不,孩子,我是个非常好的人,但我是个非常糟糕的巫师。这是事实。”“那我的脑子呢?”稻草人问道。“你不需要聪明才智。你懂得很多东西。你能思考。你能快速学习。你非常聪明。”“我想要脑子。”稻草人说道。“好的,”老人说道,“明天早上我可以给你一些脑子。”“那我的心呢?”铁皮人问道。“你不需要一颗心。”老人说道,“你欢笑,你哭泣,你爱,你为他人感到难过。”铁皮人看起来很生气,拿起他的斧头。“好吧,请别伤害我。”老人说道,“明天早上我可以给你一颗心。”“我还想变得勇敢。”胆小的狮子说道。“但你已经很勇敢了。你做了很多勇敢的事。不,不,别吃掉我。明天早上到这儿来吧。我让你变得勇敢。”“托托和我怎么办?”多萝西问道。“我们可以坐我的气球上去。”巫师说道,“风把我们从堪萨斯吹到这里来了。也许它能再把我们吹回堪萨斯。”第二天早上,朋友们又来到巫师的房间。老人已经准备好了。他拿了一个标有“脑子”字样、用大大的绿色字体写着的瓶子,小心翼翼地打开稻草人的头。“别动。我要把你的脑子放进去。”他说,“好了,现在,你是奥兹国最聪明的稻草人了。”稻草人向他道谢。接下来,巫师给了铁皮人一颗小小的红色心形饰品。“永远佩戴着它吧。”他说道。铁皮人非常高兴,不断地向巫师表示感谢。然后,那位老人拿出一个刻有“勇敢”字样的瓶子。“喝下这个吧,”他对胆小的狮子说。狮子喝了下去。“是的,是的,我感觉勇敢了。”他喊道,“非常非常勇敢。谢谢你。”巫师对他们笑了笑。“你们不需要我的魔法。”他说,“但现在你们都很开心,这是件好事。”“多萝西,”他说,“来看看我的气球吧。昨晚我已经把它修补好了。”他们走进了巫师房子后面的花园。气球很大。下面有一个小盒子,奥兹巫师跳进了那个盒子里。“来吧,多萝西,”他喊道,“我们要去堪萨斯了。跟亲爱的朋友道别吧。”多萝西亲吻了稻草人、狮子和铁皮人,然后说:“再见。”“来吧,托托,”她说,“我们要回堪萨斯了。我们要去看艾米姨妈和亨利叔叔。”但就在这时,托托看到了一只猫。它从多萝西的怀里跳了出去,追着那只猫跑了。“托托!”多萝西喊道,然后她也开始追着它跑。

He can work for me.''At once,' said the monkeys, and away they went.They broke the Tin Man's arms and legs.They took all the straw out of the Scarecrow and threw his clothes up into a tall tree.Now they took the lion and carried him to a dark cellar under the Witch's house.But they could not hurt Dorothy and Toto because of the good witch's kiss.So the monkeys picked them up very carefully and carried them to the Witch's house.The witch saw the kiss on Dorothy's face and was afraid, but she did not tell Dorothy that.'You must work for me in my house,' She said to the child, 'All day and every day,and remember—— I am watching you all the time.'Now Dorothy did not know this, but the red shoes were magic.The Witch wanted those shoes very much, but Dorothy never took them off.She took them off when she washed, of course.But the Witch never went near water.She was very, very afraid of water.Then one morning, Dorothy's left shoe fell off.The Witch picked up the shoe at once.'This is my shoe now,' She shouted.'No,it isn't,' shouted Dorothy angrily, 'Give it back to me at once.''No.'said the Witch.And then she tried to take Dorothy's right shoe too.Dorothy loved her red shoes, and she was very angry.There was a bucket of water near the door.Dorothy picked up the bucket and threw the water at the Witch.The water hit her in the face, and she cried out, 'Help, help. The water is killing me. The water is…' And then she disappeared. There was only her tall black hat and a long black dress.Dorothy looked and looked, but the witch was not there.Dorothy picked up her red shoe and put it on the,'Now,how can I help my friends?' she said, 'can I call the magic monkeys?'She picked up the Witch's black hat and looked at it.'Perhaps I must wear this magic hat when I speak.'So she put the hat on and called magic monkeys come.The monkeys arrived in a second.'Please can you help my friends?' asked Dorothy.'Of course,' said the monkeys, 'We must always help the wearer of the magic black hat.'They broke open the dark cellar, and the cowardly lion came out.'Free at last!' he said, 'Thank you. 'Then the monkeys found the Scarecrow's clothes and put some new straw in them.The Scarecrow laughed and jumped.'Thank you.' He said.Next the monkeys mended the Tin Man and gave him a new oil can.He moved his arms and legs.'I feel wonderful,' He said, 'thank you.'Dorothy told her friends about the Witch and the water, and they were all very happy.Toto could not speak, but he jumped up and down very happily.'Now,'said Dorothy, 'We must go back to the Wizard of Oz. Magic monkeys, take us to the Emerald city.''Don't forget the magic black hat,' said the tin man.The monkeys Carried them up into the sky, and ten minutes later, the friends were once again at the big green door of the Emerald city.翻译第四章:女巫与猴子们第二天早上,他们离开了翡翠城。那个绿人拿走了他们的眼镜,并告诉他们去女巫家的路线。“大家都害怕西边的女巫,”他说,“所以要小心点。”朋友们走了很长一段路。道路状况很差,没有房屋,没有田地,也没有树木。现在女巫有一个魔法眼睛,能看穿一切。她看到了路上的朋友们,非常生气。她戴上她那顶高高的黑色帽子,喊道:“猴子们马上进来。”四十只猴子来到了她那高大的房子前。“你想要什么?”他们问道。“在我的路上有三个人、一只狗和一头狮子,”她说,“杀了这些人和狗,但把狮子带到我的房子里来。它可以为我工作。”“马上行动,”猴子们说,然后就走了。他们弄断了铁皮人的胳膊和腿。他们把稻草从稻草人身上拿走,把他的衣服扔到一棵高高的树上。现在他们把狮子带到了女巫房子下面的一个黑暗的地窖里。但由于善良女巫的吻,他们无法伤害多萝西和托托。所以猴子们小心翼翼地把他们抓起来,带到了女巫的房子里。女巫看到了多萝西脸上的吻,心里很害怕,但她没有告诉多萝西这件事。“你必须到我家里来干活,”她对这个孩子说,“全天每时每刻都要来,记住——我一直在看着你。”多萝西并不知道这一点,但那双红色的鞋子具有魔力。女巫非常想要那双鞋子,但多萝西从未脱下它们。当然,她洗脚的时候会脱下它们。但女巫从不靠近水。她对水非常非常害怕。然后有一天早上,多萝西的左鞋掉了下来。女巫立刻捡起了那双鞋。“现在这是我的鞋子了,”她大喊道。“不,这不是,”多萝西生气地喊道,“马上把它还给我。”“不。”女巫说。然后她试图拿走多萝西的右鞋。多萝西爱她的那双红色鞋子,她非常生气。门边有一个水桶。多萝西拿起水桶,把水泼向女巫。水溅到了她的脸上,她大喊道:“救命,救命。水会要了我的命。水……”然后她消失了,只剩下她那顶高高的黑色帽子和一条长长的黑色裙子。多萝西看了又看,但女巫不在那里。多萝西捡起她的红色鞋子,把它穿上了。“现在,我该如何帮助我的朋友们呢?”她说道,“我可以召唤那些魔法猴子吗?”她拿起女巫的黑色帽子,仔细端详起来。“或许我必须在说话时戴上这顶魔法帽子才行。”于是她戴上帽子,召唤了魔法猴子们前来。猴子们瞬间就到了。“请你们能帮帮我的朋友们吧?”多萝西问道。“当然可以,”猴子们说道,“我们必须永远帮助佩戴这顶魔法黑帽子的人。”他们打开了黑暗的地下室,胆小的狮子走了出来。“终于自由了!”他说,“谢谢。”然后猴子们找到了稻草人穿的衣服,并在里面加了些新的稻草。稻草人笑了,跳了起来。“谢谢。”他说。接下来,猴子们修理了铁皮人,并给他配了一个新的油罐。他动了动胳膊和腿。“我感觉好极了,”他说,“谢谢。”多萝西把女巫和水的事告诉了她的朋友们,他们都非常高兴。托托不能说话,但他高兴地跳来跳去。“现在,”多萝西说,“我们必须回到奥兹巫师那里。神奇的猴子们,带我们去翡翠城吧。”“别忘了那顶神奇的黑色帽子,”铁皮人说。猴子们把他们送上了天空,十分钟后,朋友们又回到了翡翠城那扇巨大的绿色门前。

The Wizard of Oz by Frank Baum原文Chapter Three: The Emerald City It was a long day.The yellow brick road went past fields and through trees,up hills and down hills.In the evening, they began to see small green houses.By sometimes, little people in green clothes came out and looked at the friends,but they did not come near them because they were afraid of the cowardly lion.'Everything here is green. Perhaps we're near the Emerald city,' said Dorothy, 'Toto and I are hungry. Let's stop at the next house.'A little woman opened the door.And Dorothy said, 'please can we stay the night in your house?'The little woman looked at the lion.And Dorothy said quickly, 'The lion is my friend and he never hurts anybody.''All right? ' the little woman said, 'You can all come in.'She put a wonderful dinner on the table.Dorothy and Toto ate a lot of it, and the lion ate some of it.But the Scarecrow and the Tin Man ate nothing.'Where are you all going?' asked the little woman.'To the Emerald city,' said Dorothy, 'We want to see the Wizard of Oz.''That'snot easy,' said the woman, 'The wizard never goes out of his house and nobody sees his face.''Is the wizard a man?' asked the Scarecrow.'Nobody knows,' said the woman, 'He is a wizard, so he can be a man or an animal or anything.''How strange!' said Dorothy, 'But we need his help, so we must see him.'The next day, they thanked the woman, left the house and began walking again.Soon they saw a beautiful city in front of them.It was the Emerald city.At last, the friends went up the yellow brick road to a big green door and stopped slowly.The door opened and a little man in green clothes stood there.'We want to see the wizard, please,' said Dorothy.'Nobody sees the wizard,' he said, 'He is a very good and very famous wizard, but nobody can see him.''We must see him,' said Dorothy, 'Please ask him!''All right,' said the green man, 'I can take you to his house, but first you must all put glasses on.'He opened a big box. In it were lots of glasses.'You must wear your glasses all the time,' he said, 'Everybody in the city must wear glasses. The Wizard says this.'So they all put on glasses.The green man put on some glasses too.And then he took them through the Emerald city.Everything in the city was green—— men, women, children, houses, shops, streets. The green man took them to a very big house, and they went into a long green room.'Wait here,' he said.After a short time, he came back.'You can see the Wizard,' he said, 'But you must go to him one by one. He wants to see the little girl first.'Then he went away and a green girl came in.She took Dorothy to a tall green door.'The Wizard is in there,' said the Green girl, 'He's waiting for you.'Dorothy went in.On a green chair was a very, very big head.There was no body, or arms, or legs—— only a head. Its mouth opened and the head said, 'I am Oz,who are you and what do you want?''I am Dorothy,' said the child bravely.'Where did you get those red shoes from?''The bad Witch of the East,' said Dorothy, 'My house fell on her and killed her.''What is that thing on your face?''A kiss. The good Witch of the North kissed me,' said Dorothy, 'I need help and she told me about you.'And what do you want?''I want to go home to Kansas,' answered Dorothy, 'But I don't know the way. Please help me to get home.The big eyes opened and closed, opened and closed.Then the mouth opened and the head spoke again.'Well,'it said, 'Perhaps I can help you, but first you must do something for me.''What do you want me to do?' asked Dorothy.'Kill the bad Witch of the West.''But I don't want to kill anybody,' said Dorothy.'You killed her sister and you are wearing her shoes. Go now and kill the Witch of the West.'The little girl began to cry.'But how can I kill the witch?' She said.The big eyes opened and looked at her, but the head did not answer.Dorothy went away, and then her friends went into the Wizard's room.First the Scarecrow, then the Tin Man, and last the Lion.Later,they all met in the long green room and talked.Dorothy told her friends about the head.'That's interesting,' said the Scarecrow, 'I didn't see a head. I saw a beautiful woman. I asked her for some brains and she said, “yes, but first you must help Dorothy to kill the Witch of the West.”''I saw a big animal with two heads,' said the Tin Man, 'I asked for a heart. The animal said, “I can give you a heart, but first you must help Dorothy to kill the witch of the west.” What did you see? Lion.''Oh,I saw a ball of fire.' said the cowardly lion. 'I said, “I am a coward, please make me brave.” And the fire said, “When the Witch of the West is dead, I can help you. But not before.”''I was angry then,' said the lion, 'But the ball of fire got bigger and bigger, so I ran away.''Oh,what are we going to do?' said Dorothy.'Well,'said the scarecrow, 'we must find the Witch of the West, and then we must kill her.'翻译第三章:翡翠城这一天过得十分漫长。黄色的砖路穿过田野,穿过树林,爬上山坡,又滑下山坡。傍晚时分,他们开始看到一些小小的绿色房屋。不一会儿,穿着绿色衣服的小个子人们走了出来,打量着朋友们,但他们没有靠近他们,因为他们害怕那只胆小的狮子。“这里的一切都是绿色的。也许我们离翡翠城不远了。”多萝西说,“我和托托饿了。咱们去下一家房子歇歇吧。”一个矮小的女人开了门。多萝西说:“请让我们在您家过夜好吗?”那个矮小的女人看了看狮子。多萝西急忙说道:“狮子是我的朋友,他从不伤害任何人。”“行吗?”那个矮小的女人说,“你们都可以进来。”她把一顿丰盛的晚餐放在了桌上。多萝西和托托吃了很多,狮子也吃了一些。但稻草人和铁皮人什么也没吃。“你们要去哪儿?”那个矮小的女人问道。“去翡翠城。”多萝西说,“我们想去见奥兹巫师。”“那可不容易。”那个女人说,“巫师从不走出他的房子,也没人能看到他的脸。”“巫师是个男人吗?”稻草人问道。“没人知道,”那位女士说道,“他是位巫师,所以他可以变成人、动物或者任何东西。”“这太奇怪了!”多萝西说道,“但我们需要他的帮助,所以我们必须见见他。”第二天,他们向那位女士道谢,离开了房子,再次踏上了前行的路。很快,他们就看到一座美丽的城市出现在眼前。那就是翡翠城。最后,朋友们沿着黄色的砖路走向一座巨大的绿色大门,缓缓停下。门开了,一个穿着绿色衣服的小个子男人站在那里。“我们想见见那位巫师,请问可以吗?”多萝西说道。“没人能见到那位巫师,”他说道,“他是位非常出色且非常有名的巫师,但没人能见到他。”“我们必须见见他,”多萝西说道,“请让他带我们去吧!”“好吧,”那个绿衣人说道,“我可以带你们去他家,但首先你们所有人都必须戴上眼镜。”他打开一个大箱子。里面有许多副眼镜。“你们必须一直戴着眼镜,”他说,“城里所有人都必须戴眼镜。巫师这么说的。”于是他们都戴上了眼镜。那个绿衣人也戴上了眼镜。然后他带着他们穿过了翡翠城。城里的所有事物都是绿色的——男人、女人、孩子、房屋、商店、街道。那个绿人带他们来到一座非常大的房子前,然后他们走进了一个长长的绿色房间。“在这儿等着吧。”他说。过了一会儿,他回来了。“你可以见到巫师了,”他说,“但你们必须一个一个地去见他。他想先见到那个小女孩。”然后他离开了,一个绿衣女孩走了进来。她带着多萝西来到一扇高高的绿色门前。“巫师在里面,”绿衣女孩说,“他在等你。”多萝西走了进去。在一张绿色的椅子上有一个非常非常大的脑袋。没有身体、胳膊或腿——只有一个脑袋。它的嘴巴张开,脑袋说道:“我是奥兹,你是谁?想要什么?”“我是多萝西,”孩子勇敢地说。“你从哪儿得到那些红色鞋子的?”“东方的恶女巫,”多萝西说,“我的房子压倒了她并杀了她。”“你脸上的那个东西是什么?”“一个吻。北方的好女巫亲了我,”多萝西说,“我需要帮助,她告诉了我关于你的消息。”“那你想要什么?”“我想回堪萨斯去,”多萝西回答,“但我不知道路。请帮我回家吧。”那双大眼睛睁了又闭,闭了又开。然后嘴巴张开,脑袋再次说话了。“好吧,”它说道,“或许我能帮到你,但首先你得为我做一件事。”“你想要我做什么?”多萝西问道。“杀死西边的那个邪恶女巫。”“但我不想杀任何人啊。”多萝西说道。“你杀了她姐姐,而且你还穿着她的鞋子。现在赶紧去杀死西边的那个女巫吧。”小女孩开始哭泣起来。“但我怎么才能杀死那个女巫呢?”她说。那双大眼睛睁开了,看向她,但脑袋却没有回应。多萝西离开了,随后她的朋友们走进了巫师的房间。先是稻草人,然后是铁皮人,最后是狮子。后来,他们都来到了那间长长的绿色房间里交谈。多萝西向她的朋友们讲述了那个脑袋的事。“那很有趣,”稻草人说,“我没有看到一个脑袋。我看到的是一位美丽的女子。我向她要了一些头脑,她说:‘可以,但首先你必须帮助多萝西杀死西方女巫。'”“我看到一只有两只脑袋的大型动物,”铁皮人说,“我想要一颗心。那只动物说:‘我可以给你一颗心,但首先你必须帮助多萝西杀死西方女巫。'你看到了什么?狮子。”“哦,我看到一个火球。”胆小的狮子说,“我说:‘我是个胆小鬼,请让我勇敢起来。'然后那火球说:‘等西方女巫死了之后,我可以帮助你。但在此之前不行。'”“我当时很生气,”狮子说,“但那个火球变得越来越大,所以我跑开了。”“哦,我们该怎么办?”多萝西说。“嗯,”稻草人说,“我们必须找到西方女巫,然后我们必须杀死她。”

Varun Sivaram is Founder and CEO of Emerald AI, a company building software that makes AI data centers power flexible. As AI data centers become one of the fastest-growing sources of electricity demand, grid constraints are emerging as a critical bottleneck for compute deployment.In this episode, the conversation focuses on why power availability — not GPUs — is increasingly the limiting factor for AI. Data centers concentrate massive electrical loads in specific locations, creating grid stress, long interconnection delays, and rising electricity costs for surrounding communities. Traditional grid expansion alone is too slow to meet near-term AI demand.Emerald AI's response is to treat AI data centers as flexible loads rather than fixed ones. Its software coordinates compute with grid conditions by shifting workloads across time, geography, and on-site energy resources like batteries. The episode walks through real-world demonstrations, including a published field trial showing a 25% power reduction during grid stress without breaking compute performance. The discussion frames flexible load as one of the fastest ways to unlock power for AI while improving grid stability.Episode recorded on Feb 2, 2026 (Published on Feb 10, 2026)In this episode, we cover:(0:00) Intro(1:36) What Emerald AI is and how it works(6:41) Varun's background and why he founded Emerald(10:59) Emerald's software for power-flexible data centers(19:04) The three types of flexibility: temporal, spatial, and resource(23:29) How much control customers give Emerald(28:20) Coordinating compute with on-site energy like batteries(31:27) Off-grid vs. grid-connected data centers(35:39) Why exiting the grid creates political and systemic risk(37:12) Emerald AI's open rolesLinks:Varun Sivaram on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/varunsivaramEmerald AI: https://www.emeraldai.co/AI data centers as grid-interactive assets paper Enjoyed this episode?

'Leave the dog and come down into the cellar!'Dorothy picked up Toto and ran to the cellar door.But before she got there, the cyclone hit the house.And then a very strange thing happened.The house moved, and then it went slowly up, up, up into the sky.Aunt Em and Uncle Henry were down in the cellar under the ground, but the house,Dorothy, and Toto went up to the top of the cyclone.Dorothy looked through the open cellar door and saw hills and houses, a long way down.She closed the cellar door quickly.The wind blew the house along for many hours.At first, Dorothy was afraid.'But we can't do anything about it,' she said to Toto. 'So let's wait and see.'And after two or three hours, she and Toto went to sleep.When Dorothy opened her eyes again, the house was on the ground and everything was quiet.She picked up Toto, opened the door, and went out.They saw tall trees and beautiful flowers, and little houses with blue doors.Dorothy gave a little cry, 'This isn't Kansas, Toto! And who are these people?'There were three very short men in blue hats, coats and trousers, and a little old woman in a beautiful white dress.The woman walked up to Dorothy and said, 'Thank you, thank you! Now the people are free!''Why are you thanking me?' Dorothy asked.'You killed the Witch of the East,' said the woman, 'She was a bad witch, and her people, the Munchkins, were very afraid of her. Now she is dead, and we and the Munchkins want to thank you.'The little old woman and the three little men all smiled happily at Dorothy, but Dorothy did not understand.'But I didn't kill anybody, ' She said.'Your house fell on the witch,' laughed the little woman, 'Look, you can see her feet.'Dorothy looked and saw two feet with red shoes under the house.Suddenly,one of the Munchkins gave a shout, 'Look, her feet are disappearing in the hot sun.'And a second later, there were only the red shoes.'Good,'said the little woman.She picked up the shoes and gave them to Dorothy, 'they're your shoes now. You must wear them, because a witch's shoes can sometimes do wonderful things.''Thank you,' said Dorothy, 'But who are you? Are you a munchkin?''No,but I'm their friend. I'm the Witch of the North and I came to see the dead witch of the East. But don't be afraid, I am a good witch.''But Aunt Em says there aren't any witches.''Oh yes, there are,' said the witch, 'here in the country of Oz, we have four witches. The witches of the North and the South are good witches, but those of the East and the West are bad witches. Now the Witch of the East is dead. So,there is only one bad witch. We have a famous wizard too, we call him the Wizard of Oz, and he lives in the Emerald city. How many witches and wizards do you have in your country?''We don't have any,' said Dorothy.Suddenly,she remembered Aunt Em and uncle Henry.'How can I get back home to Kansas?', She asked.'Where is Kansas?', asked the good witch, 'I don't know a country called Kansas, so I can't tell you the way.'Dorothy began to cry.'Oh dear, what can I do? Please don't cry,' said the witch.'Go and see the Wizard of Oz. He's a good wizard and perhaps he can help you. It's a long way and you must walk there. I can't go with you, but I can give you my kiss.'She gave Dorothy a little kiss.It looked like a small red flower on Dorothy's face.'Now nothing can hurt you,' she said, 'Look, there is the road to the Emerald city.It is made of yellow bricks, so you cannot lose your way. Good bye.''Goodbye,' said the three little Munchkins.In the house, Dorothy found some bread and some apples, and she put them all in a bag.Then she put on her blue and white dress.'And now I looked nice,' she said.She looked down at her old shoes.Then she remembered the bad witch's red shoes and put them on.She picked up her bag of food.'Come on, Toto.' She called, 'we are going to find the Wizard of Oz. '翻译第一章:旋风多萝西和她的叔叔亨利、阿姨埃姆以及一只名叫托托的小黑狗一起住在堪萨斯州的一座小房子里。堪萨斯州没有树木,也没有山丘,而且经常刮起狂风。有时风会来得非常猛烈且突然。这就是龙卷风,它能将树木、人和建筑物吹走。所有房屋下面都有地窖。当龙卷风来袭时,人们会下到地窖里待在那里。有一天,亨利叔叔走出房子,抬头望着天空。然后他迅速跑回屋里。“有一场龙卷风要来了,”他对埃姆阿姨和多萝西喊道,“我们必须下到地窖里去!”他们跑向地窖的门,但托托很害怕,它跑到了床底下。多萝西追着它跑。“快点!”埃姆阿姨从地窖里喊道。“别管这只狗,赶紧下到地窖里!”多萝西抱着托托跑向地窖门。但在她到达之前,龙卷风袭击了房子。然后发生了一件非常奇怪的事情。房子动了,然后慢慢地向上移动,向上,向上,一直升入天空。埃姆阿姨和亨利叔叔在地下的地窖里,但房子、多萝西和托托升到了龙卷风的顶部。多萝西透过敞开的地下室门向外望去,只见远处山峦起伏,房屋错落有致。她迅速关上了地下室的门。狂风将房子吹着移动了好几个小时。起初,多萝西有些害怕。“但我们对此无能为力,”她对托托说,“所以咱们就等着瞧吧。”过了两三个小时,她和托托就睡着了。当多萝西再次睁开眼睛时,房子已经停在了地上,四周一片寂静。她抱起托托,打开门,走了出去。他们看到了高大的树木、美丽的花朵,还有带有蓝色门的小房子。多萝西轻声叫道:“这不是堪萨斯,托托!这些人又是谁呢?”有三个戴着蓝色帽子、穿着外套和裤子的矮个子男人,还有一个穿着漂亮白裙子的老妇人。这个女人走到多萝西面前说:“谢谢你们,谢谢你们!现在人们自由了!”“你们为什么感谢我?”多萝西问道。“是你杀了东方女巫,”这个女人说,“她是个邪恶的女巫,她的子民——芒奇金人非常惧怕她。现在她死了,我们和芒奇金人都想感谢你。”那个小老太太和那三个矮个子男人都开心地对着多萝西微笑,但多萝西不明白。“可我没有杀人啊。”她说道。“你的房子压死了那个女巫,”那个小妇人笑着说,“看,你能看到她的双脚。”多萝西看了看,发现房子下面有两个穿着红色鞋子的脚。突然,一个芒奇金人喊道:“看,她的双脚在烈日下渐渐消失了。”片刻之后,就只剩下那双红色的鞋子了。“很好,”小妇人说道。她捡起鞋子,递给多萝西,“它们现在是你的鞋子了。你必须穿上它们,因为女巫的鞋子有时能施展神奇的法术。”“谢谢你,”多萝西说道,“可你是谁?你是芒奇金人吗?”“不是,但我却是他们的朋友。我是北方女巫,来这儿是来看那位已经死了的东方女巫的。但不必害怕,我是位好女巫。”“可是艾姆阿姨说这里没有女巫。”“哦,不是的,”女巫说道,“在奥兹这个国家里,我们有四位女巫。北方和南方女巫是好女巫,而东边和西边女巫则是坏女巫。现在东边女巫已经死了。所以现在就只剩下一个坏女巫了。我们还有一个著名的巫师,我们称他为奥兹巫师,他住在翡翠城。你们国家有多少女巫和巫师呢?”“我们没有。”多萝西说道。突然,她想起了埃姆阿姨和亨利叔叔。“我怎么才能回到堪萨斯州呢?”她问道。“堪萨斯州在哪里?”好心的女巫问道,“我不知道有个叫堪萨斯的国家,所以没法告诉你去那儿的路。”多萝西开始哭泣。“哎呀,我能怎么办呢?请别哭了。”女巫说道。“去见奥兹巫师吧。他是个好巫师,也许他能帮到你。路很远,你得走着去那儿。我不能和你一起去,但我可以给你一个吻。”她给了多萝西一个小小的吻。那吻看起来像多萝西脸上的一个小红花。“现在没有什么能伤害到你了。”她说,“看,那是通往翡翠城的路。它是用黄色砖块铺成的,所以你不会迷路的。再见。”“再见。”三个芒奇金人说道。在房子里,多萝西找到了一些面包和一些苹果,她把它们都放进了一个袋子里。然后她穿上了她的蓝白相间的连衣裙。“现在我看起来很漂亮了。”她说。她低头看了看她那双旧鞋子。然后她想起了坏女巫的红色鞋子,穿上了它们。她拿起装着食物的袋子。“来吧,托托。”她喊道,“我们要去找奥兹巫师了。”

After the Irish fought for and won their independence from the British in 1921, they had a problem. Centuries of exploitation had left the island one of the least forested nations in Europe, with less than 2% tree cover.  So, they started planting a non-native American tree: fast-growing Sitka spruce capable of rebuilding their timber resources in record time. And it worked. Today, about 17% of the island is forested. But in the rural areas where iconic rolling hills have been replaced by rows and rows of conifers, farmers are not happy.  Outside/In host Nate Hegyi takes us to County Leitrim, an area of Ireland hit hard by the Troubles and the Great Famine, to meet the townspeople who are fighting what they say is a new wave of colonialism: Sitka spruce plantations.

Cthulhu Dark Providence plunges players into a tense, investigative struggle against cosmic dread, blending noir‑style mystery with the creeping inevitability of Lovecraftian horror. The game uses the combination of tight resource decisions, escalating threats, and growing insanity that make every choice feel like a step deeper into the abyss. But is it better than what we remember, take a listen to find out. Campy Creatures and Fantasy Realms: Greek Legends offer a wildly different moods, each with its own charm. Campy Creatures is a fast, clever bluffing game where you command classic movie monsters to outwit rival mad scientists. Fantasy Realms: Greek Legends adds mythic flair to the beloved combo‑building formula, letting players craft powerful hands inspired by gods, heroes, and legendary artifacts. Together, these games form a vibrant spectrum—from spooky pulp fun to grand fantasy world‑building—each scratching a different strategic itch. The Gilded Realms blends city‑building with a clever, almost puzzle‑like tableau system that evolves every round. Cards you place steadily march downward through your tableau, and when they reach the bottom, they convert into precious resources—fuel for expanding your kingdom, unlocking card abilities, or mustering an army before the looming invasion arrives. That slow, predictable cadence creates a satisfying rhythm: every placement is an investment, every advancement a small payoff, and every turn a chance to set up something bigger. Interaction is light, with only the occasional skirmish to break the solitude, so most of the tension comes from managing your own tight economy. Resources never feel abundant, and the game constantly nudges you toward tough, meaningful decisions about what to prioritize and what to sacrifice. If you enjoy kingdom builders that reward planning, efficiency, and a touch of long‑term foresight, The Gilded Realms is absolutely worth exploring. Thanks for listening, we really do appreciate it.
