@karpathy Check out @solana. The FTX/Solana/Alameda ecosystem is among the least scammy and most innovative.

I like blockchain tech quite a bit because it extends open source to open source+state, a genuine/exciting innovation in computing paradigms. I'm just sad and struggle to get over it coming packaged with so much braindead bs (get rich quick pumps/dumps/scams/spams/memes etc.). Ew

Exploits are the symptom, the lack of operational standards is the problem. If you're afraid your company might be next, let's chat. We built something to harden your defense.

@tMAIS0N @ElfJTrul @dotta what does this remind you of?

1/ We just shipped the Prompt Machine. A living library of image prompts, built so anyone in the community can make stuff that actually looks like it belongs in Vibetown. Here's what it is and why I care about it.

@Alex_85S @mr_birch2 @durov @grok We'll see how the control group performs pretty soon. Australia already has a ban in effect.

@vmaark_ @mr_birch2 @durov @grok The only study you need to do is about elderly authoritarianism and elderly tyranny. That will explain everything. I hope I will not become such, when I get older.

So the EU wants to ban teens from social media — except for LGBTQ+ content? What a nuanced way to “protect children” online.

@Alex_85S @mr_birch2 @durov @grok how does that invalidate scientific studies on massive scale and control groups? 😄

@vmaark_ @mr_birch2 @durov @grok Same thing was told about TV and especially MTV, then about internet. Every generation has a thing what adults want to ban children from.

@mr_birch2 @durov @grok What Pavel posted is a great example of false dichotomy, a logical fallacy. The 2 topics are not connected. He even makes it sound like LMBTQ social media is an exception and allowed.

@vmaark_ @durov @grok Part of what LGBTQ+ is promoting is the idea that you can change your gender. Very dangerous idea to expose to kids. Why is this being allowed but not access to SoMe? I am following the concern that Pavel originally shared.

@mr_birch2 @durov @grok I had to look up on the internet what you are talking about, but based on what I found, it feels like you didn't? Anyway, I don't see how that's related to social media.

@vmaark_ @durov @grok And you don’t think that gender dysphoria. has negative consequences for kids?

@mr_birch2 @durov @grok no, i have kids, ofc social media should be banned under 16. there's direct correlation between mental health issues and social media usage.

@vmaark_ @durov @grok So you are also against the EU law that ban teens access to SoMe?

@mr_birch2 @durov @grok the scandalous hungarian law was more about books, so bookstores cannot sell people under 18 books containing any reference to homosexuality, and those books have to be plastic wrapped, so they cannot even be opened 💀

@durov @grok help me out here, this can't be true?

@koeppelmann @LidoFinance too bad you cant borrow now on aave…

Entering @LidoFinance stETH right now almost pays you half a year of staking rewards.

Don't talk to me until GM

this is pretty cool some MIT students turned a building into a giant playable game of Tetris on Saturday at midnight rigged each window with LEDs MIT students are on a diff level

@Fiskantes Maybe this depends on the L2, but I think this could have been prevented by AAVE accepting only assets using the native bridges

So: LayerZero multisig architecture enabled 1/1 multisigs even though this is obviously dumb idea (maybe giving users all this freedom isn't the best primitive?) KelpDAO took liberty to use 1/1 multisig despite knowing this is obviously dumb idea (I mean, what to even conclude here) AAVE took KelpDAOs rsETH as collateral across few L2s - less obvious this is dumb idea as they needed to do a lot of DD (failed to do their DD on KelpDAO) + The whole situation is downstream of modular L2 infrastructure, requiring bridges to work and hold assets (bridges are a single point of failure) I guess there is whole bunch of lessons: 1. Don't give your users freedom to do something dumb 2. Multisigs are insecure, multisigs with 1/1 signatures extremely so - single point of failure 3. DeFi protocols need to reject assets secured by 1/1 multisigs (or multisigs in general) or isolate them to limit contagion 4. Additional safeguards such as circuit breakers (cc. @odysseas_eth ) or similar would help a lot 5. Modular L1-L2 design leads to complexity and increased attack surface It kinda feels like this is a signal to rethink a lot of this stuff from scratch

@SethSHowes @dark_dot_bio

I sequenced my genome at home, on my kitchen table. I wrote up exactly how I did it - the equipment, protocol, theory, and cost: iwantosequencemygenomeathome.com

@LefterisJP @0xLobsterMonkey LZ bridge was exploited, single signer on a DVN

@0xLobsterMonkey not everyone has 32 ETH. And then you start getting int LST territory, which is what was exploited.

I want boring and safe DeFi. Can we build a DeFi where you can park ETH in a protocol for 1.7% APR (considerably less than US treasuries yield) and go on vacation? Go somewhere without having to carry a laptop or a hardware wallet and check X to see if you need to take action.

@ScottApogee @CuriosityonX would you visit earth if you were an alien though

Probably because FTL travel is not possible. And that means we're basically too far apart to visit each other. Some estimates say that there's likely only 1-5 rocket ship building species per galaxy, so while simple life is likely extremely common in the universe, technologically advanced life is perhaps extremely rare. And if light speed can't be broken or hacked in some way, we'll forever be isolated islands is the vast sea of space.

If aliens exist, why haven’t they visited Earth?

@torok_tomi do I smell freedom?

Tempo really just wrote "it's better not to use encryption"

@BoredElonMusk you made me feel so old

If you loved the N64 when it came out (almost 30 years ago), please leave a reply. Something brewing.

@Fiskantes @vonderleyen what's the actual critique here? genuinely asking

It is for parents to raise their children. Not platforms. The European Age Verification App is ready ↓ twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
