Trying out nixOS for first time this weekend. First few levels, simple enough. Like a package.json on steroids. …and then you try to build a rust project that has a specified toolchain

Oh no.... my financial advisers are shilling a Mont Blanc event to flog some luxury watches. If that isn't a local top signal, I don't know what is 😬

Illuminating podcast from Forward Guidance recently about the absolute degeneracy of the private credit markets. Crypto seems positively tame and sober by comparison… we have much to learn 👺 https://youtu.be/56keSKDiyJ0?si=mstzdYGiDfWrNXY6

This book is an absolute banger, must read for any neophyte. That said, the front cover is such a strange choice. Fine, programming books tend to have abstract graphics but the O’Reilly animals are charming compared to this mook.

Listening to @gwart's interview with Sol's anatoly was pretty lol Solana's origin story was how his arb bots kept losing money on IBRK due to the house advantage. Fast forward a few years and he builds a network with FTX primitives that does the same. Is it too much to ask for a Frost/Nixon interview with that guy

GM I'd love to see a Frost/Nixon interview where a podcaster manages to get aeyakovenko to show some contrition for his sins. Instead what we get is "Non mea culpa!" staccato'd with little chuckles. That would be nice.

For "reasons" i've had to move a pile of USTC about a bit - which has forced me to interact with terra classic chain again. Despite being utterly ded, its UX is far greater than many L1s or L2s.

Is there a CEX that DOESN'T have potato tier customer support, which isn't scammy as hell? Coinbase has gone down the human-automation route which is giving me flashbacks of ringing cell networks trying to get your PAC.

Looks like Sui is bringing time released cryptography in an upcoming product! Some of these ideas were first presented to NIST in 2008, I wonder what has been added since: https://csrc.nist.rip/groups/ST/IBE/documents/June08/CHALKIAS_NIST_WithAnimation.pdf

Anyone had a go with generating stateless circuits on risc0 vs circom? Vaguely how much benefit do you go from handcrafted circuit compared to a generated one?

I don’t think I’m ok with this feature.
