We hear about Satya, Elon, and Jensen 100x as often, but Lisa Su might be the most impressive CEO of the last decade. When she took over as the CEO of AMD in 2014, they had 20 days of cash left. They had more than $2B in debt. They had just sold their headquarters and laid off a quarter of the company. Their chips were four years behind Intel, who dominated all but the low-price end of the laptop market. They had only 2% of the server market. The market cap had fallen to just $3B. Su rallied the company around three principles: 1. Create great products 2. Deepen customer trust 3. Simplify the company She invested in R&D, and has grown it 4x over her tenure. She prioritized a new chip architecture called Zen which launched in 2017. By 2020 it was the fastest chip on the market. She used the momentum to sign deals with Lenovo, Sony, Google, and Amazon. She acquired Xilinx for almost $50B. Today AMD has grown to 33% share of the server chip market by revenue and gaining. Revenue is >$20B. Market cap is $240B. The next prize is the AI chip market, where Su is competing head to head with her cousin, Jensen Huang.

The WayFare Identifiers Inc (WFI) team engineered the leading edge tech for detecting illicit goods in cargo and for subsequently flagging related money laundering. That ranking was determined by US Homeland personnel. Though we were pre-revenue and all operating costs were covered from the founders' personal after-tax savings (no taxpayer funding), we were irrationally crushed by Canada's highly paid career bureaucrats... starting just weeks after we rejected a foreign buyout from the China Sovereignty Fund. Connect the dots, and demand for the truth to be exposed. The US government finding below, made public yesterday, clarifies why corruption is the only possible motive for the career bureaucrat actions taken against WFI... and is a solidly rational explanation once you realize that Organized Crime members are right inside our Public Service. It is all here in two government verified releases:

***PART 3️⃣ / 7️⃣*** #DeFi #crypto: FlipFlop #ETHt and another new-to-the-market unfamiliar "wraps". #Dinero. A new liquid #staking protocol launched at the end of 2023. The project is actively developing and has already secured a place in the top 30 by total TVL. Dinero offers users competitive rates for liquid staking and actively integrates its LST into DeFi to enhance token yield. #pxETH. LST ETH from the Dinero project, maintaining a 1️⃣:1️⃣ peg to ETH. Staking rewards are accrued on the protocol's website, and users can claim their ETH rewards via a "claim" button. Security: 7️⃣/🔟 points. #SeyianETH (in collaboration with #Nucleus) - LST ETH on the #SEI network. Rewards are immediately reflected in the price of this token, so its exchange rate will increase relative to ETH. Recently launched, its TVL currently stands at only $1 mln. Security: 6️⃣/🔟 points. #Nucleus. A technology platform designed to enhance interactions in DeFi. It provides developers with tools and infrastructure to create and manage various financial products and services. Vaults for #FRAX, #Swell, #Puffer, and other liquid staking protocols have been created using Nucleus. #SuperSeiyanETH (#ssETH). A yield-bearing token created by the #Sei team using the Nucleus technology platform. #ssETH token allows earning from staking, income from Sei infrastructure, and additional incentives (i.e. 10% in Sei tokens and 10% in Dinero). Pay attention! There are currently very few real informations available, except tweets on #X and brief information on the token's mint pages. #TVL is $2M. Security: 6/10 points. Here, the questions are more about understanding the mechanisms embedded within the token rather than security concerning hacks. #Frax. This is a protocol that entered the market in 2020 when its stablecoin was launched. Since then, Frax has actively developed and expanded its ecosystem, including liquid staking ETH using the #fraxETH token. #frxETH. #LST ETH created through the FRAX protocol. Pay attention! If you hold fraxETH, you won't receive #staking rewards. You need to exchange fraxETH for #sfrxETH via the Frax protocol (or #DEX) to start earning a share of the income generated by staking ETH. Security: 9/10 #SwellNetwork — This is a liquid staking and restaking protocol that offers users the opportunity to earn from staking ETH while maintaining the liquidity of their assets. The project was launched in 2022 and has since actively developed in the DeFi space. #swETH. LST that operates on the reward principle. #rswETH. LRT from #SwellNetwork, includes #yield from #staking, SWELL points and #EigenLayer points. Security: 8/10. ***To be continued...

To build a multi-agent system, start simple, validate your design, then gradually scale. When I spoke to Chi Wang, the creator of AutoGen, he explained why. Deploying one or two agents at first allows builders to evaluate and refine the core design and interaction patterns before introducing additional complexity. This method also streamlines debugging and optimization because it makes it easier to trace issues back to specific agents.
