summary

Google’s ZK selective disclosure looks like it’s based on this paper that generates ZK arguments ECDSA “in 1.2 seconds on mobile devices depending on the credential size”.

If light has no mass, how is it affected by black holes?

The answer is:  massive objects bend the "fabric" of space-time, so light travels along a different path than it would have if the massive object were not there.

Common misconception.

Newtonian gravity (no spacetime) *also* allows a massless particle to be affected by gravity: in 1801, von Soldner calculated the trajectories of such particles by taking limits as M-&gt;0.

Interestingly, the deflection is exactly half that predicted by GR.

there also seems to be a status ladder for people who have renounced world for a higher calling 

kind of ironic but not surprising for a primate species

ooo, this is very interesting 

but riscv is a register machine and EVM is a stack machine 

what would the implications of this? 🤔

New @VitalikButerin blog post on replacing the EVM with RISC-V in the long-term.

I am a huge fan of this direction for Ethereum's execution layer.

Today, RISC-V zkVMs like SP1 are the clear endgame solution for "ZK-ifying" Ethereum and quickly becoming the de-facto solution for https://t.co/yFBojIheqC

I don’t know why this event is not generating more headlines. 

This is really a cool event

This morning,The world's first robot half marathon race was held in Beijing. 20 robots participated, and the champion score was 2 hours and 40 room minutes, approximately 21 km.😃 https://t.co/CiJvuNHpp9

I guess Andrej came up with the phrase “vibe coding”

He is good at naming stuff. 

Or is it just that, it gets memed into the culture because of his large following 🤔

There's a new kind of coding I call "vibe coding", where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists. It's possible because the LLMs (e.g. Cursor Composer w Sonnet) are getting too good. Also I just talk to Composer with SuperWhisper

Google has started hiring for post AGI research 😬

AGI has been achieved internally or something else ?? https://t.co/RQcHg4vjkI

what does Post AGI research mean? lol

EOF is to EVM, what ELF is to CPUs ? 

did I get it right? 

any better explanations?

Physics is about finding the shortest program that reproduces the universe

No. Physics is about finding the shortest *encoding function* that maps from concrete physical states of the universe onto abstract representational states of our internal models.
