Computer science is gradually returning to the domain of physicists, mathematicians, and electrical engineers as large language models automate much of what we currently call software engineering. The field’s center of gravity is shifting away from manual code writing and toward deeper theoretical thinking, mathematical insight, and systems-level reasoning.

In 20 years, vibe coders will look at the Linux kernel repo the way we look at the pyramids. In awe, unable to imagine how they managed to drag all those giant stones and pile them up in the middle of the desert.

@circle BridgeKit's createAdapterFromPrivateKey hardcodes transport: http() for the wallet client, ignoring custom RPCs. Even if we pass a custom getPublicClient, txn signing still hits default public endpoints & is failing. Facing this on polygon from yesterday

@ponnappa This is amazing!! Do you think there will be decline in open source contribution and companies will try to safeguard to stay above the line?

Indeed. (Read the attached post first, then till the end of this post). Carl Sagan (Legendary Cosmologist) - "The Hindu religion is the only one of the world’s great faiths dedicated to the idea that the Cosmos itself undergoes birth and death in cycles." Neils Bohr (Atomic model) - "I go into the Upanishads to ask questions." Robert Oppenheimer (Father of Atomic bomb) - "Access to the Vedas is the greatest privilege this century may claim over all previous centuries." Erwin Schrodinger (Quantum mechanics) - "Atman = Brahman. The multiplicity is only apparent. This is the doctrine of the Upanishads." Nicola Tesla (Legendary inventor) - "All perceptible matter comes from a primary substance, or tenuity beyond conception, filling all space, the Akasha or luminiferous ether, which is acted upon by the life-giving Prana or creative force, calling into existence, in never ending cycles, all things and phenomena." Fritjof Capra (Particle physicist) - "For the modern physicists, Shiva’s dance is the dance of subatomic matter." Albert Einstein - "When I read the Bhagavad-Gita and reflect about how God created this universe everything else seems so superfluous" Carl Jung (Analytical psychology) - "Our unconscious definitely prefers the Hindu interpretation of immortality." Nietzsche (popular philosopher) - "There are so many dawns that have not yet broken" (from the Rig Veda). Arthur Schopenhauer (pessimistic philosophy) - "In the whole world there is no study so beneficial and so elevating as that of the Upanishads. It has been the solace of my life—it will be the solace of my death." Then there are so many other legends in science, philosophy, and other fields who were highly influenced and inspired by Indian philosophy, like - Mark Twain, Victor Cousin, Alfred North, Romain Rolland, Rudolf Steine, Humboldt, Voltaire, Huxley, Emerson etc. But the average Indian ignorant programmed by communists, imperialists, and racists by education, then thinking they are very educated and smart - "The vedas are mythology, Indian scriptures are religious rubbish, there is no use for them, we need to burn the bhagavat gita and eradicate sanatana dharma." If you are someone still thinking like the above, or asking "what's the use now", first find out for yourself why some of the greatest modern minds read them and swear by them. And they do this even in the age of AI. Ask Sam Altman what he believes is the ultimate truth.

@francescoswiss Building GetGas It solves the empty tank problem across chains. Ex: You need ETH on Arbitrum but have USDC on Polygon. You sign a Permit on Polygon, and we swap & bridge it to load your Arbitrum gas. Solves the 'Gas Paradox' using your own stables. LMK what you think of it

Builders! Don’t be ashamed of your hustle, Nobody will feed you or your family if you go broke Share your Web3 hustle below, and I’ll DM you some help!

@Melt_Dem also try reading spin and flowers for algernon

finished re-reading ender’s game and i forgot how phenomenal it was continue to believe reading sci fi is the greatest thing anyone interested in understanding, shaping, and directing the many manifolds of humanity’s future can and should do my sci fi reading list 👇

I am happy to share that we (the @GoogleAIStudio team) are now a sponsor of the @tailwindcss project! Honored to support and find ways to do more together to help the ecosystem of builders.

Robots in China are doing it all now, even dancing on stage like pros. Here Unitree robots doing Webster flips and are performing at Chinese-American singer Wang Leehom’s concert in Chengdu.

“Move Fast and Break Things” vs “Move Slow and Forge Things” “Move fast and break things” was a something we invented at Facebook to get a bunch of entitled Ivy League kids to grind for us. It worked. Then, all of Silicon Valley mistakenly confused correlation with causation and adopted this mode for themselves without questioning it. In a world of AI, those that continue to pray at this altar will be the first to lose their jobs. Moving fast and breaking things is exactly the low hanging fruit that AI will automate. Learn to move slow and forge things. Make things that can stand the test of time. Learn discipline and process and you’ll have a job forever.

Be a small team of all devs. 1-5 heads down engineers working on really hard engineering problems is the perfect seed stage bear market startup. What most folks don't understand is that really hard engineering problems are solved by 1 engineer that is obsessively thinking about the problem 24/7. Hard engineering problems are not going to be solved any faster by 10 people or 100 people.

@fede_intern Noob question, can you explain what you mean by this? Native trust and minimal trust security is non negotiable And is this achieved by native support for MPC and AA?

Ethereum L1 is practically incorruptible. But L2s are not there yet. And since Ethereum’s long term strategy relies on L2s, we cannot call Ethereum fully incorruptible until they mature. 1. Multisigs have to go. Native trust and minimal trust security is non negotiable. It’s very difficult for new organizations to setup and control multisigs. 2. Sequencers must be decentralized. Shared sequencing and Based designs are the right direction. You need the ability to compose liquidity and state across L1 and L2. If you don’t have composability with L1 it’s impossible to launch a rollup since oracle, core DeFi, liquidity infrastructure are very expensive to deploy in a new rollup. With @ethrex_client and @fabric_ethereum we’re working on this. @Commit_Boost is central for this too since we need to be able to create new primitives like preconfimations. We cannot accept rollups going down because AWS has a bad day. And security that collapses by compromising ten keyholders is not security. It is a time bomb. This will get exploited eventually, even in large rollups. Based and native rollups are crucial for Ethereum and they don’t clash with the L1 scaling.

A lot of people ask why so many Indians run abroad the first chance they get? Why some states have temples dedicated to foreign country visas? Why some people are so desperate to get away that they even risk death by drowning or freezing to illegally enter other countries? Why are Indians so desperate to immigrate? Because in the countries these people usually move to, they value life. They value people. They value you. Unfortunately, that particular concept is virtually unheard of in India. Here, lives are as important as money is to a sacrificial lamb. Because In India: The government doesn’t give a damn about you. The judiciary thinks you don’t even exist. People, in general, treat others like a piece of crap. And if you treat someone nicely, chances are they’ll backstab you at the first opportunity. Most of us have our souls and self-confidence destroyed, respawned, and then destroyed again on a daily basis. We get treated worse than a car in a Rohit Shetty movie. So why would anyone stay? In India A two-bit clerk in an obscure municipal department can make your life miserable. Any random ticket giver or clerk can abuse you. A part-time watchman outside a private building treats you like a criminal. Store workers treat you like a thief. Everyone treats you like a shirker. Your life is essentially a never-ending hurdles race that lasts for 70 years, if you make it that far that is. So why would anyone stay? In India You risk your life every single time you step out of the house. You can die when an illegal concrete slab, which was permitted by a corrupt babu, falls on you. You can drown in a sewage tunnel because some random bozo has stolen the manhole cover. You can burn to death in an illegally modified bus that the corrupt RTO has permitted to operate. You can be run over by a drunken idiot who’s been given a license by that same RTO. You can be crushed to death in a stampede caused by the incompetence of the police, who can’t handle a crowd. You can die after consuming poison labelled as medicine because the babu who was supposed to prevent it took a bribe and looked the other way. You can fall to death from a train because the railway authorities, after taking lakhs of crores in the name of safety, have blown it all away on "other things". At any point in time, you can get impaled, burned to death, crushed, fall off a cliff, or be killed by a guy with a sword, sometimes all of the above. Here, life is like the game Prince of Persia, except, unlike in the game, you don’t get three lives, nor can you restart. Once you are dead, you are dead. So why would anyone stay? And then comes the worst part. In India, Nobody is held accountable. Nobody faces consequences. Nobody gets punished. There’s nobody you can complain to — and where you miraculously can, nobody listens. People whose incompetence caused your death get promoted. Some even run important departments that enable them to kill more people. Every second of your life here is a herculean effort against the system, the process and the people. However, Hercules had 12 labours in total. In India, you face 12 labours everyday So why would anyone stay? Therefore, when someone actually gets a chance to get out, it shouldn’t be a surprise that they take it with both hands. P.S.: In the last six months, 22 children died because of fake medicine, 40 people were burned to death in illegally modified buses and 51 people died in stampedes. Those were 113 easily preventable deaths. Deaths mind you. DEATHS 113 innocent Indian citizens lost their lives. What happened after that? How many government officials were arrested? How many were punished? How many were sacked? What were the actions taken? How quickly we forgot everyone? The answers to these questions will tell you why many people don’t want to stay in India anymore.

don’t write blog posts. don’t do slides. build the code. arrange it. get it to work. its the only way to go, else you are missing knowledge. @karpathy 101

If Vitalik joins Tempo I’m out

@jessepollak @freedomfactory Why 420 though?

NEW: I unboxed the @freedomfactory and it's sick

@matthuang Curious to know your opinion on this youtu.be/enUgDZ4ULCc?si…

People used to joke that crypto was a ZIRP-era phenomenon (easy money → speculative assets). Ironically, it was the end of ZIRP that kicked off the stablecoin supercycle: $ banks in the cloud, widening spreads vs TradFi, issuers earning billions to fund global distribution.
