虽然这次在香港也就待了5天，但回到上海却比以往都更强烈的不适应。香港真是个了不起的城市，在细节里流露着很多很深的感情，每一秒都留下深深的印象

This is interesting as a first large diffusion-based LLM. Most of the LLMs you've been seeing are ~clones as far as the core modeling approach goes. They're all trained "autoregressively", i.e. predicting tokens from left to right. Diffusion is different - it doesn't go left to right, but all at once. You start with noise and gradually denoise into a token stream. Most of the image / video generation AI tools actually work this way and use Diffusion, not Autoregression. It's only text (and sometimes audio!) that have resisted. So it's been a bit of a mystery to me and many others why, for some reason, text prefers Autoregression, but images/videos prefer Diffusion. This turns out to be a fairly deep rabbit hole that has to do with the distribution of information and noise and our own perception of them, in these domains. If you look close enough, a lot of interesting connections emerge between the two as well. All that to say that this model has the potential to be different, and possibly showcase new, unique psychology, or new strengths and weaknesses. I encourage people to try it out!

News should come from the people. From those actually on the scene and those who actually are subject-matter experts!

The truth will set you free

许多人忘了 in blockchain we trust 的初心了，你会 trust 的原因是什么？除了底层那个玩意不可篡改、抗审查，还有一个非常非常重要的点就是可以做 verify。 但是 verify 这种许多时候不容易做，比如钱包助记词/私钥的生成是否足够随机，MPC 多签是否安全，TEE 里的数据是否可被远程验证，五花八门（包括一些非标准实现）的签名是否所签即所见…新发的版本是否带后门… 还有许多上链交易，稍微复杂点很多人就看不懂了，只能信任一些中心化工具将解析做到尽可能的白话描述。 你或你做的事要让大家放心，可被 verified 是一种关键能力及实力。正因为人性过于复杂，难以轻信，我们才要数学、算法、代码这些玩意。越容易被 verified，越靠谱。 如果这个行业做的事总是难以 verify，不得不去勉强 trust，那么这种妥协迟早都会引来大麻烦，人性恶的一面难免会被一次次放大。回顾下那些 rug、老鼠仓、貔貅、投毒、内部主动作恶、内部被动作恶…周而复始、反复出现。

The critical bug has been fixed. The individual security researcher who discovered and reported it is now under significant pressure. His years-old Twitter, Telegram, and LinkedIn accounts were all deactivated, and he remains worried about being sued. How can this be?

What if CertiK employees must adhere to the company's designated workflow? Now that the critical bug has been fixed, the individual security researcher who helped you discover and report it is under great pressure due to your accusations made without knowing the truth.

At the recent IC3 (@initc3org) event, Suning (@msfew_eth) from @SecurFi introduced ODESEC. Through this on-chain database and its corresponding mechanism, ODESEC enables projects to filter out spam, promptly receive valid emergency vulnerability reports, and respond accordingly.

Rest in peace Kabochan 💛

🧵 Arnold @Schwarzenegger is the greatest orator of our time.

👀 "unlike previous CTFs, we require you to submit the proof of exploit instead of flags."

Today marks the 100th anniversary Lee Kuan Yew's birth, the founding father of modern Singapore. He transformed Singapore "From Third World to the First." One the greatest statesman of the 20th century, it's mind-blowing when you compare LKY to politicians like @GaryGensler, who have no vision for the future, build nothing, attack innovative industries, and are turning America "From First World to the Third." But it's ok, 2024 is going to be the year of reckoning for the anti-crypto, anti-business, anti-progress Democratic party and they will have their pal Gary to thank for it. Onward! 🚀
