Linea will migrate to the RISC-V architecture
Foresight News reports that the Ethereum L2 project Linea announced on Twitter that its cryptography researcher Alexandre Belling revealed at Ethproofs that Linea will transition to the RISC-V architecture. The main reason is that every Ethereum hard fork requires a complete rewrite of the constraint module, causing the team to focus on managing complexity long-term rather than advancing cutting-edge performance. RISC-V offers only 32 registers and approximately 40 instructions. For proof systems, the narrower tracking range allows for real-time construction, and provers can immediately start processing proof segments. In addition, RISC-V provides a more concise execution trace and Type-1 compatibility, while retaining zkC (constraint native language), Vortex and Arcane (proof/aggregation stack), as well as formal verification.
Linea stated that this move is highly aligned with the RISC-V roadmap being promoted by the Ethereum Foundation, and more technical details will be announced in the coming weeks.

"Big short" Michael Burry: The AI bubble may burst "earlier than expected," replacing short positions with put options to increase leverage
Michael Burry suggested that the AI bubble could burst as early as next summer and has replaced all his short positions on Micron, Nebius, SOXX semiconductor ETF, and Palantir with put options to obtain lower cost and higher leveraged short exposure. He believes the AI boom is built on the unproven assumption of "sustained capital expenditure," and once revenues disappoint, capital will quickly flee.
