Former RBA official Jonathan Kearns warned AI investment could add near-term inflationary pressure and contribute to further interest-rate rises. The saga around OpenAI and the Australian government continues. The Guardian Australia reported that OpenAI used an…

Roger Wattenhofer and Quentin Kniep propose speeding Solana’s block production by scheduling nearby validators consecutively. Their plan relies on self-reported locations, bringing an unverifiable physical input into the order of block producers. Each scheduled turn at block production is called a leader window.The aim is to make fast handovers less dependent on operating near Solana’s biggest stake centers. The authors’ simulation cuts the mean handover delay between honest validators from 36.2 milliseconds to 17.0 milliseconds without giving any validator more leader windows. Reordering also changes the continuity of control: three-window groups can combine into longer consecutive stretches.Wattenhofer, Anza’s head of…
