Meaningful relationships are invaluable for building and sustaining a culture of excellence, because they create the trust and support that people need to push each other to do great things. If the overwhelming majority of people care about having an excellent community, they will take care of it, which will yield both better work and better relationships. Relationships have to be genuine, not forced; at the same time, the culture of the community will have a big influence on how people value relationships and how they behave with each other. To me, a meaningful relationship is one in which people care enough about each other to be there whenever someone needs support and they enjoy each other's company so much that they can have great times together both inside and outside of work. I literally love many of the people I work with, and I respect them deeply. #principleoftheday

INTRODUCING ETHEREALIZE

An institutional marketing and product arm for the @ethereum ecosystem

Our goal? To accelerate adoption by bringing institutions to Ethereum: the digital economy of tomorrow

All roads flow through ETH. We’ll show the world why

Here’s our plan:

(1/7)

[Etherealize @Etherealize_io]

This is just the beginning. 2025 is the year of ETH

It’s time to unite the Ethereum ecosystem and to be more vocal about the incredible network - and asset - we’ve built

Let’s bring the world onto #Ethereum together.

Welcome to Etherealize.

I admire your willingness to stand up and fight for freer movement of people, it's an important freedom that all too easily gets thrown under the bus.

That said I think it's valuable to turn down the temperature here, on both tone of discourse and the social media banhammer.

Respecting free speech is easy when we agree with the speech, and hard when we think it's awful. But the arguments for respecting free speech anyway are the same as ever: the banhammer is controlled by one group today, it will be controlled by another group tomorrow, and every use of it legitimizes further use, and by the end public discourse collapses into either balkanization, monoculture (where the winner will be the guy with the biggest hammer, not the guy with the best arguments) or constant war of all against all.

And it's worth reflecting on just how much tone of discourse has fallen here over the past couple of years. I feel like a lot of people have been okay with rising aggressiveness because the target of the aggressiveness was one faction that they disliked, but once that beast is summoned, its nature is to look for new targets, and even if you approve of the first target you may not approve of the second or the third or the fourth - as many people have been finding out this week. Literally "first they came for the communists, and I did not speak out because I was not a communist". This isn't the kind of memetic beast we want running the show when we're entering an era of dangerous global political competition and rapidly improving AI.

The role of leaders in setting the tone is really important, and can be used to great good or great evil. It's not "wartime mode" that will get humanity to Mars in one piece, it's something brighter - and we should get into that mode today.

@balajis > their owner (who holds the private keys).

This is not the default outcome. We have to explicitly strive for it.

The best revenge is to not be like that person.

@Minittowinit Give opportunities to people who have the ambition but not the skill set and train them on the job.

Personality is great, if they have the drive, give them the car and teach then how to drive 🤜🏼💥

@albicodes hey 👋🏼 we met at ethDenver :)

I'm starting my learnings on ZK and looking to learn Rust too. Do you have any other advice on the route towards working in the ZK space? (I'm a social person)

Thnx ✨

[Joshua Bray (Brayve-Pancake) @Brayve_Pancake]

@konrad_gnat Stop telling little "white lies" to make social situations seem easier.
For example:
I often agree with things I actuallydisagree with
I say I'd like to do something I don't actually want to do just to seem polite.

Instead be direct and save myself the longer term discomfort

[Joshua Bray (Brayve-Pancake) @Brayve_Pancake]

A witness for a ZKP is small, so small that it only reveals that we have solved our puzzle. It does not give away any clue as to how we solved it.

Summary:
ZKPs work when solutions are easily verifiable (in less than polynomial time)
Thnx 2 @RareSkills_io

[Joshua Bray (Brayve-Pancake) @Brayve_Pancake]

ZK Proofs only work in P and NP problems.
^^ makes no sense?

To understand how ZK-proofs are useful we must know:
- Witness
- Big O notation
- Boolean functions (Circuits)
- Problems in P
- Problems in NP

Check this thread out to get a better understanding.

[Joshua Bray (Brayve-Pancake) @Brayve_Pancake]

For ZKPs, we create a Boolean circuit which represents a problem. If the circuit can be constructed in polynomial time, the solution will be verifiable in polynomial time too. This means we have a problem in P or NP.

@EdLatimore @baselang The joy of learning a new language. 😀
