What makes you confident that AI will be able to provide useful signal for micro-markets? The AI tools I’ve used perform the worst at niche tasks, presumably due to the dearth of relevant training data.

How would you want slide-breaks to be determined? Based on headings? I suppose an LLM could use the full content of the provided markdown and break where it “thinks” is necessary, but I suspect that would cause disruptions to the flow of the presentation. I think PDF is really the only robust way to do presentations, pretty much any format can easily be exported/converted to PDF.

Interdiction resistance/detection is already taken far more seriously in the crypto hardware wallet space than any other consumer product category. The saving grace is that the juice is not worth the squeeze for attacks like this in almost all situations. This is why the US government banning Huawei 5g was totally justified—it would be worth nearly any cost to be able to remotely cripple US infrastructure.

I’d love to only see posts from people with an ENS name attached to their account. Any who has ever replied with that DEGEN token garbage is certainly not worth seeing.

Also helps write graphviz code. Graphviz/dot doesn’t have the best language, but it is mature and well supported.

The answer to why now and not before could be that Russia seized $100 million dollars from google that was in Russian banks.

They are prioritizing aesthetics and branding. The logo is obscuring bits that should be there, relying on the error correction built in to the QR spec to handle it. Also, the round dots do not meet the standard. QR codes are so resilient that even with this chicanery, decoders are still usually able to make it work.

No. Even farcaster is overwhelming worthless crap like the three other replies on this post, and the only (meager) financial incentive is to appear legitimate enough to get receive an airdrop.

How do Linux privilege escalation vulnerabilities affect cartesi.io? Or is the user always root and it’s just the os user space that is being leveraged for convenience and compatibility?

Way too many posts on farcaster are worthless. People are “engaging” but have absolutely nothing to contribute or communicate. I’m looking at you $degen people.

Excalidraw is a whiteboard, but draw.io is a diagramming tool like Microsoft’s Visio, or a graphical alternative to graphviz. All great products but not the same use cases!

Has an opcode been removed from the EVM before? How are contracts that use an obsoleted opcode handled?

It also doesn’t matter nearly as much for farcaster because it’s just distribution of signed messages. I think pretty much everything that can go wrong with a farcaster node is recoverable/reversible as long as you don’t have physical data loss.

Putin’s actions of the last two years belie any denial of his expansionist desires. I agree that you don’t have any insight, no qualifier necessary.
