“Mr President, I have a plan to make you $500M”
What is it?
“It involves cryptocurrency”
Okay, I’m interested. What do my trusted lawyers say?
“They say you’ll get away with it”
What do you need from me?
“A 30 second video of you reading this script”
We have a deal

No worries it will always be cheaper than the hidden costs of the advertisement industry

At some point we’re gonna have to accept that we need to pay for content on the internet

UBI is the most capitalist thing ever and I’m tired of pretending it’s not

@Vladfdp remove your fear about being seen as a larper. what's the minimum time to derive max joy?

I speedrun museums. It would take me 15 minutes tops to get through the Louvre, fully appreciating every piece of art, getting as much out of each work as I possibly could.

Damn I think I have to continue my sum-check optimizations series 😎
Quang Dao@QuangVDao
Our newest sum-check optimizations are out! eprint.iacr.org/2026/762 We propose a *better* domain for sum-check: the infinity hypercube. Evaluations over this domain give *precisely* the monomial coefficients, and lead to a ~10% prover speedup over 128+ bits prime fields 🧵/ n

@QuangVDao shouldn't it be [1:0]?
I mean I guess it's just a matter of convention but it would be weird as fuck if [1:x] is your affine line😅

A month later, Zolt v0.1.0 is here!
- Code is good enough to make an official release
- Faster than Jolt on the @eth_proofs' SHA256 benchmarks 😱
- Huge refactoring effort
- Really fun to work on!
- Still a lot of work to do to match Jolt with bigger programs (2^28+)
matteo@mtteom_
Introducing Zolt: the first pure-Zig zkVM Fully compatible with @a16zcrypto's Jolt, the entire cryptography is made from scratch in @ziglang , only using the stdlib! No arkworks FFI or other dependencies 🫡 The first benchmarks:

You guys can blab about censorship resistance, privacy, and decentralization all you want, but real people have real needs in the real world.
For example, my dog needs to go out. Can someone from the EF please take my dog for a walk?

@noveltokens @deepfates do people answer truthfully? at this point my reading chat history feels even more intrusive than looking at my browser history
English
@deepfates been thinking the same. periodically, over the last year, when working @ coffee shop, i randomly interrupt people i see w claude/chat on screen to interrogate them about exp w ai, even just asking what their last ten convos/questions were. have considered turning this into a pod

@0xz80 also other stuff like keeping a list of labels->product so you can just scan the receipt instead of inputing manually each time you stock up
English
@0xz80 also one thing is it allucinates the recipes and sometimes it just says dumb shit (burned some carrots by trusting it) so like have it scrape full recipes from the internet and give them back verbatim would be better
English
same question but this time its opus/sonnet 4.6
ill ralph whatever you guys want
what should I build?
z80.wei 👌☀️👌@0xz80
if you had 12 hours to use $80 worth of kimi k2.5 what would you do? I’ll literally have it build anything you guys suggest, otherwise the quota expires and goes to waste

I think one of the problems with L2s is that they are all called L2 when they can have VERY different security properties depending on the design and how much they interact with ethereum
way too easy to build something that sucks but that's technically an L2
