I am once again hoping that we can slow the political pendulum swing of the last decade+ in favor of rational, intelligent, unifying dialogue. Love your neighbor. Honor your fellow man. Take the high road. Seek the common good. That’s an America I’m all in for.

“everything in the neural network was built in some sense to be read – by its downstream readers – and if we can learn to look like a reader, we might find reading them relatively easy” this is the scientific revolution here - not just neurons being readable!

there is a dark mirror world where LinkedIn becomes the verified-human internet so many other players are racing to build proof-of-human networks. what if the winner's been around for decades?

Your house is warmer than a medieval palace and your fridge has more options than a Roman feast. By every measurable standard, you are living better than 99% of humans who have ever existed.

Atomic synchronous composability is no longer a promise. History made on mainnet: the first atomic cross-chain L1->L2 transaction ever 🔥 And this is only the beginning for EEZ ... 🚀 @etheconomiczone

I’ve had Franklin, Terry Blacks, Interstellar, and La Barbecue. Snow’s has been on my list for a while, just need to make the trip. Probably going to get a lot of crap for this, but haven’t heard of 20-23.

Doing a bit of a self-experiment. Goal: use my personal health and travel data to provide personalized diet and exercise recommendations for me, using frontier models but in a way that avoids leaking to them any private information. Strategy: use a local model (Qwen 3.8 Flash Next) to orchestrate, and use powerful remote models as a tool call to benefit from higher-level thinking and knowledge that the local model does not have. Three-layer approach to privacy: Avoid leaking personally identifiable information, or leaking my identity through writing style -> local model writes the queries to the frontier model, not me Avoid leaking who I am through the payment channel -> zkAPI Avoid leaking who I am through networking / IP -> Tor You need all three (and finally we have all three, at least to some extent) A skill file teaches the local model when and how to construct minimally-data-revealing requests to remote models. Use zkAPI-wrapped-with-Tor as a CLI tool. And everything works! I got the recommendations back, info from frontier models helped to improve them. Main deficiencies: * Tor is really not optimized for request-by-request de-linking, which is the only form of network-layer privacy that really makes sense in today's world (long-running identifiers are too fragile). Probably not private enough, and latency 10-100x higher than it could be, at the same time. * The skill file's request construction strategies are definitely far from optimal. * Qwen 3.8 Flash Next is still too slow for comfort. It's comfortably running at 20-30 TPS, but it would only really start to feel fast at 100+ * There is a tradeoff: the more careful you are about what data you give to a remote model, the less it can help you github.com/ethereum/zkapi/pu…

p money (the producer not the rapper ) is on top of it 😭 @Piper_Bites

The way crypto gives grants is so stupid lol no outcomes just vibes things that could make a big difference probably cost less than 10k and one determined person, and yet millions go to groups of people by means of nepotism. sad.
