zcash is like a time machine for the entire world to buy bitcoin at sub $1000 but this time it's actually freedom money
This is a great question on feminine and masculine cognitive profiles and structural advantages. Women do excel at jigsaw, but it's more modeste than "dominate". Women make up the overwhelming majority (75-80%) of jigsaw competitors, yet men still take ~half the medals despite being a tiny minority. Even though women flood the pipeline, the male right tail still over-fills relative to participation. Jigsaw puzzles are an unusually clean test of feminine cognition and female advantages: - perceptual speed (rapid scanning of a field for matches) - object location memory (remembering where you saw the piece with the bit of red roof three minutes ago) - fine color and pattern discrimination, and fine motor speed/precision. Notably, jigsaws do not tap 3D mental rotation, which is the single largest measured cognitive sex difference and runs strongly male. Jigsaws are almost a designer task for feminine cognition. Also, women do well in other nerd disciplines: spelling bees and memory competitions for verbal material skew female. Anything in the verbal-precision-and-recall cluster skews female. Jigsaws look like systematizing from the outside, but it’s mechanically a perceptual-speed/object-location task, not a systematizing one. It's much closer to "find the keys you set down somewhere in this house, fast" (and women do in fact find the keys faster). Sudoku and jigsaws are both "puzzles", but the sex distributions of their champions are very different, and the reason is bottom-up biology that Western religion has deceived you not to see.
I’m completely ignorant when it comes to horse training, but I can’t think of one advantage to being a male vs female. How has a female trainer never won?
the only hard thing about leg day is squats. like i can deadlift cheerfully but squats kill me so i decided to go easy on the squats and now leg day is a joy if you hate leg day try doing the same, probably u just hate squads
i work in a company where cryptography speaks and i cannot talk about cryptography publicly(i have zero to none information other than basic cryptography) people somehow talk about cryptography without any knowledge, interesting composabilitymaxxing though
This is my 3rd week as VP of Engineering DeFi at @Polymarket , and I'm going to be straight: the traction @Polymarket has seen has massively outpaced our infrastructure, and we haven't done nearly enough to scale to keep up. I hear you, and fixing this is our entire focus. We're a major company now, and we need to engineer like one. Here's exactly what we're doing: - Onchain data latency. We're working on making this near-instant so the experience is incredible. - Chain migration. We need more block space, cheaper gas and much smaller block times so settlement is instant. - Transactions are getting cancelled. We understand this is one of the most frustrating issues right now, and we have a complete fix coming very soon. - Massive focus on the website to make it faster, more responsive, and with better UX. - We added observability everywhere. Proper alerting so we catch issues ourselves, market makers should not be the ones telling us something is down. That's been unacceptable, and we know it. - E2e tests throughout, starting with the CLOB, so issues get caught in CI before anything ships. - CLOBv2 is not a rewrite. It won't improve performance or stability on its own; it's an upgrade that unlocks us to move fast right after. We'll do better with communication next time. - We are rebuilding the CLOB from the ground up. Most important thing we're doing. Without it, we can't be the best DeFi exchange in the world. We know it, we're on it, it's mission critical. - Unified TypeScript SDK for all APIs, which is shipping soon. - Unified API. One WS connection for everything, with a schema that's actually readable. - New Polymarket contract in the works that unlocks things that are simply impossible on the current protocol. - New hires: Head of QA Automation, Head of Dev Tooling, Head of Internal Tooling, Head of Data Engineering. - Smaller, dedicated teams. Fewer focus points per person, clearer ownership. People do what they're good at and are accountable for it. - Working closely with customer support to give them real debugging tools so any user issue gets properly diagnosed, not lost. - Proper communication with marketing and market makers so everyone knows what's coming and when, and MM can submit feature requests with a clear path to get them into engineering and shipped. - Working with 4 security teams daily to ensure we're super secure and that funds are always safe. - Perps incoming. Brand new contracts and a backend built from scratch in Rust. We're proud of this one. - A lot of other fixes are running in parallel right now. Starting next Friday, I will be posting weekly engineering updates. I joined because I genuinely believe in what @Polymarket is trying to do. @shayne_coplan built this so the world has somewhere to go to find out what's actually going to happen, not what the media thinks, not what a pundit says, but what thousands of people are willing to put money on. But right now, our engineering isn't living up to that. We've let people down, and I'm not going to dress that up. I came here to fix it, and that's exactly what we're going to do. The next few months are going to speak for themselves. Stay with us.
