That just happens with any word/term that starts with "homo"... :( So far, the only success I could find is to ignore those that can't put down the d**k jokes when focus is needed.

How do FHE practitioners deal with the fact that whenever you mention "homomorphic" anything, stupid people on the internet act like it has something to do with homosexuality? Is there some other term that we're supposed to use? Use "FHE" without ever unrolling the acronym? Something else?

A quick test of the new llama3 models (and old ones): L3 70b: https://i.imgur.com/HPgNLnW.png L3 8b: https://i.imgur.com/HTxZmy9.png Mixtral 8x7b: https://i.imgur.com/qjEk93V.png ChatGPT: https://i.imgur.com/DIQ5loP.png ChatGPT is correct, L3 70b almost; others are wrong.

This is bad. Crypto is not just trading tokens, it's part of a broader ethos of freedom and privacy and keeping power in the hands of the little guy. These values unfortunately continue to be under attack, globally. https://twitter.com/LizaGoitein/status/1781546937675657392

@dwr.eth 😅🙏 Sorry for borking the UI.... This happens when I close the group's summary, then reopen it again.

Re-upping my post from 1.5 years ago on "layer 3s": https://vitalik.eth.limo/general/2022/09/17/layer_3.html The summary is that layer 3s don't magically improve throughput even more, though they can reduce some fixed costs of batch publishing and deposits/withdrawals.

"Climate change will make the earth inhospitable for human life" and "but we can't solve it THAT WAY!" are fundamentally incompatible notions. If a patient has a cold, you give them tea and natural remedies. If a patient has cancer, you give them chemotherapy.

Excited to see work on solar geoengineering: https://twitter.com/MazMHussain/status/1775705471078293875 Maybe global-south nations who will be most hit by climate change will start threatening to do this unilaterally; even if other techniques are ultimately better, perhaps they need the push to get to the finish line

This (extremely off-putting) answer reveals a key thing that's beautiful about markets: They let people express the strength of their preferences without needing to always justify their values in front of a committee. https://twitter.com/DylanMAllman/status/1776649146675712146

Gary Gensler is a tyrant & the SEC is a joke of an institution We always knew that the incumbents of the old world wouldn't go down easy & want to weaponize their lackies against us Make no mistake - crypto will win & it'll win in amazing fashion Keep building; keep fighting!

The wonderful thing about Uniswap is that it is truly decentralized. There is literally nothing anyone can do to stop Uniswap from existing - not even an OFAC sanction on Uniswap contracts could stop it. Uniswap has already won; the incumbents just don't realise it yet.

This is honestly quite impressive. A China-tier ten-year urban transformation, happening in a major city in the United States. I feel like discourse hasn't quite adjusted to this yet. https://twitter.com/DocumentingATX/status/1764631328723460247
