Deep funding combines two ideas:

1. Value as a graph: instead of asking "how much did X contribute to humanity?", ask "how much of the credit for Y belongs to X?"
2. Distilled human judgement: an open market of AIs fills in all the weights, human jury randomly spot-checks them

(1) has been a growing paradigm recently, for good reason. Contribution is hard to measure in the abstract: if you ask people how much they would pay to save N birds, they answer $80 for N=2000 and N=200000. "Local" questions like "is A or B more valuable to C?" are much more tractable.

(2) is based on ideas in my info finance post: https://vitalik.eth.limo/general/2024/11/09/infofinance.html#info-finance-for-distilled-human-judgement . Anyone can use any methods (eg. AI) to suggest weights for *all* edges, a human jury does detailed analysis on a random subset. The submissions that are most compatible with the jury answers decide the final output.

Trying something new -- text-to-video AMA about Farcaster

Ask any question about Farcaster -- protocol, strategy, priorities, Warpcast product -- nothing is off the table.

I'll let the questions accumulate today, weighted by reactions.

Will answer a good chunk of the questions in a video tonight.

supercast

new supercast release is live

no new features, just ux improvements

as supercast wallet is coming closer, i want to focus more on mobile ux

so for this release i made sure you can properly navigate the feed, properly display the embed, properly interact with frames etc

not a huge release but very satisfying since losing position in feed was #1 bug report since the beginning of supercast

now i will be able to go through all the notifications and reply on supercast mobile as well

more improvements and features coming next week, and the degen airdrop is coming tomorrow!

Love the consistent week over week improvements

Now you can write reasonably-performant STARK proving code that runs on your GPU, in python! Below is the full arithmetization of poseidon.

I welcome others taking this and running with it.

Genuinely curious -- do this QR code scan for you?

Works for me first try on 4 different test devices.

The team has been making steady, behind-the-scenes improvements to Hubs and the protocol.

Not out of the woods yet, but the team has scaled Hubs significantly.

And we have a public dashboard related to Warpcast's sync to Hub performance here:
