Working on building products with zkTLS, and subverting web2 systems by encouraging client diversity. A ruthless empiricist.

My boy @eulerlagrange.eth is out here averaging 15miles of walking a day. Let’s strive to be more like him and walk more.

I just want you all to know— a muscle up is within striking distance. Especially if you can do 5-8 pull-ups unassisted, you CAN muscle up. And don’t follow the CrossFit BS of swinging. You got this!

Anyone else miss the Jolt/Lasso energy and want to bring it back? Also huge congrats to @ncitron.eth who grinded like a madman and did some gentle compiler massaging to ensure that y'all could use the standard library... he deserves our love

Hold-up, I just found out what we eat from a sea urchin is its gonads?! How is this not common knowledge and am I the only one kinda freaked out about it?

Jolt Alpha it out and it's crazy fast with more optimization opportunities remaining than any other zkVM. Since uses a many-round polynomial IOP based on sum-check + a commitment scheme for multilinear polynomials, it hasn't had all the eyes on it (like other methods). Lots of low-hanging fruit to PROVE FAST.

Check it out! I promise you haven’t seen anything like it… huge congrats to the @a16zcrypto engineering team. This is badass.

I’m sure you’ve seen them all but I thought this pic was pretty nifty.

Sometimes it still baffles me how much seratonin, dopamine and norepinepherine our brains release from: pick up heavy thing, put heavy thing down, repeat

@eddy didn’t know you had a bike shop in Cleveland… any chance we get the FC friend’s discount?

As Noah said— a replay of most of our conversations.

People who think DAOs are a good company structure— how does anything get done?

@johnwang.eth Question about immutable, can I dc you quickly?

Anyone know why you can’t use BabyBearFFT for FRI? Because if you can then the whole CircleStark thing is pretty meh

Might be a dumb question, but if I'm using the Secure Enclave on my iPhone to store my private keys and I switch phones, how do I migrate that over? 

This feels like a problem we've addressed, so I think I'm missing something.

New paper alert from the @a16zcrypto research team!

@brunny Seems like you're not still with Aztec but was wondering if I could DC about some questions regarding their rollup and your time there. There's a use-case I'd like to noodle abt

@dwr.eth Dan, wondering if it's possible for many casts to happen in a row if we go over the character cap? Especially with such a great desktop client, I find myself needing to go over the character limit but I have to always copy the rest and then cast as a comment to the first one.

@ncitron.eth recommended The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu. Just started and I'm hooked. Do yourself a favor and get this book ASAP, you won't be able to drag yourself away.

How can people without a lot of followers start successful channels? 

I feel like the people starting channels that are successful already have a large following and while not crazy expensive or anything, paying $25 and then having no engagement seems like a double whammy.
