I feel like off-chain ZK applications are really undervaluing the potential of just using STARKs, including for privacy-demanding use cases. These days a STARK is < 100 kB, for off-chain use cases that amount of bandwidth is utterly trivial compared to the client-side prover time savings that come from using STARKs.

Glad to hear that the other bro&sis in the morphism family are still intact: isomorphism/monomorphism/epimorphism/endomorphism/automorphism…

Progress on JOLT continues (we're near the finish line) and Justin Thaler from our research team published this technical FAQ on recent changes in SNARK design. https://a16zcrypto.com/posts/article/a-technical-faq-on-lasso-jolt-and-recent-advancements-in-snark-design/

For i^i, we take the process of rotating from 1 to i, and rotate *that* 90 degrees. And that means the growth process is instead... going straight toward zero! How far toward zero? The (canonical) value of i^i is equivalent to e^(-pi/2) ≈ 0.208

Recommend this classic “unusual” book about this topic: Visual Complex Analysis , by Dr. Tristan Needham.

The hybrid-plasma stuff is really underexplored imo!

People live in totalitarian states have a tendency to eventually learn to self-censored and become increasingly unwilling to express themselves. I need to work hard to resist this tendency.

Can we visualize proof systems and any general cryptographic primitives/protocols like this? 😄 https://animatedai.github.io/

Although live in the 21st century, most ones, even most STEM graduates, still have not entered the 20th century, in terms of the understanding of mathematical notions.
