Yet another take on *when* you should use blockchains, and when P2P tech or even (gasp!) centralized web2 systems are sufficient. It's long been a pet peeve of mine, born from many discussions with @wraitii who kept pestering me on *why* this or that needed to be onchain. I came from a very maximalist view of *absolutely everything* should run onchain then came to realize over the years that *some things* need to be onchain, but most would be completely overkill. You don't need to run Twitter *fully* onchain. And zero-knowledge proofs allow you to enact this separation of concern, extending the truly unique capabilities of blockchain to web2ish systems: trustlessness in all parts of the stack. Infusing blockchain properties into web2 protocols.

It takes an awfully long time to realize that if you can't stick to a miracle morning routine of waking up at 5am, meditating and journaling before hitting the gym, maybe that routine just isn't for you If you can't *force* yourself to learn something and form new habits, maybe you're not doing it the right way. If you consistently failed to "spend 1h per day reading on a particular topic to improve your skills, you're not the problem, it's not that you lack discipline per se, just that, in practice, it doesn't work for you. Learning for me was always a matter of talking with smarter folks. It's something I enjoy doing. I ask questions, I probe, I pester. Then I learn. I'm definitely not good at sitting in a corner reading stuff. It took me a long time to realize it's an OK way of learning. If it works, it ain't dumb.

The new area I see high signal folks like guiltygyoza coalesce around is this idea of separation of concern between what *needs* strict serializable consistency, and what doesn’t, and what should live where Farcaster=most of it doesn’t need strict global consensus but you can always mint something It’s the more abstract of saying « use the chain for what’s truly unique about it » or « should this be on chain? ». But pulling this thread your realize you can offload a lot more to p2p networks that *do not* require strict global consensus because they can always compact back into strict global consensus (through validity proofs for example) Obv linked to the concept of trust infrastructure coined by @arnaud (come to our event at ethcc to jam!)

The underrated feature of Paris is its density It's small and packed with activities compared to larger cities like London or Berlin: it's the densest city in Europe! You can do everything on foot, takes 2h30 to cross the city (10km!)

Do you say « thank you » to chatGPT like you’d say thanks to the bus driver? I feel like I’m being rude if I don’t tell it that it’s done a good job

Who shall we invite for a talk or workshop at Trust Infrastructure day? Anything along the lines of protocol research, decentralized identity, pure P2P networks, federated web and, of course, programmable cryptography is fair game! https://lu.ma/ap53xs0w

The baseline of « everything should be public » is the techy absolutist version of the corporate panopticon. Of course some things must be private. Privacy, secrecy, is a normal aspect of life and business. See these great blogposts about trust infrastructure: - @arnaud's (https://gestalt.cafe/trust-infrastructure/) - @baz's (https://tonk.substack.com/p/you-should-design-trust-infrastructure) https://x.com/tomwalpo/status/1803368239289737229

@dwr.eth here's a weird thing: I can see the video I posted on @supercast but it gets funky on warpcast (see pic attached, above is warpact, below is supercast)
