Added more M31 and binary field support to zorch: https://github.com/vbuterin/zorch 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.

What confuses me is, how does this achieve anything like the numbers you're claiming??? It feels like if you're doing it separately per-tx, the overhead of verifying a SNARK would be *higher* than the cost of doing a few bit-twiddling and hashing operations (which is what eg. token transfers are). The gains of ZK rollups come from having *one* SNARK wrapping *many* transactions.

The differences between the APIs of numpy, cupy and torch are so fascinating.... ``` >>> import torch as np >>> np.arange(10) tensor([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]) >>> a = np.zeros(20) >>> a[19:-1:-2] = np.arange(10) ``` Torch doesn't let you have ranges that go backwards 🤣 Would love more consistency

When debugging a ZKP verifier, make sure to keep checking not just that the proof verifies on valid inputs, but also that the proof verification returns an error on invalid inputs (or with nonsensical tweaks to the verification mechanism).

Sorry, but no. Crypto people claimed the right to butcher the word "inflation" first, and we already decided that it now just means "increase in the total supply of a currency". https://x.com/axios/status/1794737808269070432

To me, the biggest problem with "proof of human origin" is that "human-created" vs "AI-created" is a false binary. Most art and code I create involves many rounds of interaction between me and models. I suspect most interesting things made this decade will be like this https://x.com/trentmc0/status/1794333215290982702

One important difference between shards and rollups that I did not get into is *upgradeability*: shards would upgrade their EVM automatically, rollups need their own governance. But could we change that? (thread)
