Observation after 1 week of running normalpowers on research and planning tasks: The core failure mode in AI-assisted knowledge work isn't model quality. LLMs are optimized to answer, not to structure inquiry first. Give a model an unstructured problem, get unstructured output. normalpowers adds the missing structure: 8 skills that make any LLM ask the right questions before generating output. Works on Claude (Web, Desktop, Cowork, Code), OpenClaw, Hermes. The right frame isn't "better prompting." It's "better epistemics for working with AI." Free. Open source. Worth 10 minutes of your time.

"Told you to first understand the problem well, and then answer." Each time I blamed the model ... "next version will be smarter". Truth is that good communication skills and asking the right questions are often more effective than intelligence alone. Both for humans and for AI.

A good idea that works becomes a skill. A skill becomes automatable agent work. Skill Optimizer is an agent orchestrating other agents to craft the optimal skill for the job together. Result? A skill that works with all agents.

The so called "blockchain trilemma" incorrectly identifies the three fundamental principles of Crypto/Web3 with blockchains: 1. Decentralization - this is what makes the system unstoppable. Unstoppability is the only reason we talk about decentralization. Censorship-freedom is a corollary. This goes beyond blockchains. 2. Security - this is what gives us true ownership of our assets. Private/public key cryptography, verifiability (formal or not), soundness / consistency of protocols, etc., are just mechanisms to realize it, which all go well beyond blockchains. 3. Scalability - this is what makes the entire thing practical. To be future-proof and scale to the entire planet, including both humans and AI agents, we need infinitely scalable infra. Period. Blockchains are a particular instance of strongly consistent systems, which are known to not scale. Tribalisms and strongly opinionated CT folks and biased investors cannot change facts. If you want to change the world for the better, look at fundamentals and build your and our and our children's future on solid principles and values. This is what give life meaning, after all. We cannot have freedom without financial freedom. Or ore generally, without truth freedom. Indeed, _truth_ is main value that we need to express and convey. The rest is details. And for that we need unstoppability, security, and infinite scalability. This is what FastSet is all about.
