Generative AI is helping me write code, make drawings and learn. Crypto is helping me make international payments, use more open social networks, and get a new class of supplementary news via polymarket. What is the metaverse doing?

There are ways to justify this (decreasing marginal tax rates are consistent with optimal tax theory, as you get the incentive effect without the reduction in revenue on the hours that people would work anyway), but in general I'm kinda worried about tax policy being driven by memetics. Becomes a complexity nightmare.

Решает не только портфель, но и точки входа/выхода. Каким образом меня должно напрягать, что ETH может купить любой желающий?

The galaxy brain chain doesn't end there. The next step is realizing that the line "news is propaganda" is itself propaganda to make social media dwellers think they're safe because social media is not "news", and absorb social media propaganda more uncritically. https://x.com/ModernDadSG/status/1803553694723756431

It's really underrated how 4 years ago the worst ethereum UX problem was that transactions would often take like 10 min to confirm if you get unlucky with the gasprice, and that problem just completely went away with EIP-1559. Today transactions reliably confirm in 5-20 seconds. https://x.com/post_polar_/status/1803406902430236907

There's a fascinating analogy between coding in python using hyper-optimized vectorized libraries (numpy, cupy, torch...), and living in Singapore. In python, whatever you're not vectorizing takes the longest, even if it's utterly trivial. Literally picking merkle branches out of a pre-built tree is taking me longer than an entire fast fourier transform. In Singapore, whatever you get from international brands (as opposed to eg. hawker centers) is the most expensive, even if it's utterly trivial. I've literally had meals where the starbucks green tea I had right after a hawker center meal cost more than the meal.

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.

https://x.com/AlgebraFact/status/1802110136472817917 This identity simple, but shows important fact: the norm for complex numbers is multiplicative (a+ci)*(b+di) = (ab-cd)+(ad+bc)i norm(x+yi) = sqrt(x^2+y^2) So (ab-cd)^2+(ad+bc)^2 = norm((a+ci)*(b+di)) (a^2+c^2)(b^2+d^2) = norm(a+ci)*norm(b+di) The two are equal

There are 4294967295 hard problems in working with the mersenne31 field: non-pure library functions that look like pure functions, naming things, and off by 4 errors.

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

New way to encode a profile picture dropped: https://x.com/Ethan_smith_20/status/1801493585155526675 320 bits is basically a hash. Small enough to go on chain for every user.

So many people in the replies here are totally missing the point. Yes, there is an infinite number of valid possible answers for i^i. But EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM IS A REAL NUMBER. https://x.com/mathladyhazel/status/1800905395961241811

Why is this "ethereum conference locations suck" discourse I've seen a few times on the other app completely ignoring that devcon is going to be in thailand? Also EDCON in Tokyo end of Jul.
