> and there are some applications that outright require latencies on the order of hundreds of milliseconds or even less. I actually think there are now more important problems to solve. Some: - bad wallet UX for consumers - L2 fragmentation and bridging - No option to privatize at least a part of my transactions

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.

When debugging a ZKP verifier, make sure to keep checking not just that the proof verifies on valid inputs, but also that the proof verification returns an error on invalid inputs (or with nonsensical tweaks to the verification mechanism).

So apparently the new vocabulary alpha is that these days "games" just means "gambling", and so if you want to talk about actually interesting games you say "e-sports"

This thread was insightful learning about other casters' childhoods both having a great support system and those without one but got to where they are despite that (plus everything in between) As someone who cut off contact with a family member since I was young, every family situation can be wildly different

Moving from downtown SF to a suburb of SF does not count as "leaving San Francisco". You're still using the same airport. You're still able to have in-person meetings with the same people. Travel time from SF downtown to your new place is significantly less than between two opposite ends of Beijing or Seoul.
