summary

There has been a lot of talk about the promise of RISC-V for Ethereum execution lately, but I don't think there has been sufficient thought about _how_ we get to that place.  Here are my thoughts about how the transition could work and how EOF fits in.

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

a +1 by moving towards riscv is being able to plug into the rest of the computing world easily 

don’t know how much advantage it adds but surely opens many possibilities for future

a lot of the arguments against seem to be around u256 processing in riscv.

I guess riscv+vector extension should help

vector extensions were also ratified last year

good thread discussing different blockchain VMs

Why we built the FuelVM ⛽️

..and didn't use EVM/RISC-V/WASM/MIPS etc.

I’m bearish on RISC-V and LLVM long-term for verifiable computing (aka “zero-knowledge-proving/ZKP”), because I think most people greatly underestimate the difficulty of eliminating all soundness bugs, and greatly underestimate the disastrous consequences of even one such bug.⤵️

this would be the case with most humanoid demos I guess and the demos would be much less generizable for all of them

+1 for real world tests

Btw @UnitreeRobotics had an official statement (translated from Chinese):

Yushu has not participated in any competitions recently, as we have been busy preparing for the live streaming of our

Unitree's statement on why G1 failed in the marathon: 
They did not take part, it was some team who bought the bot.
Plausible given evident amateurish approach. But this shows that these demos do not generalize. Out of the box, G1 can't jog on a flat road today. https://t.co/cLUbePNgQl

this is a good reply but maybe all the EVM requirements can be made as extensions to the ISA? 🤔

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
