How many holes does a straw have?

Topologically, of course, it has 1: it's homeomorphic to a punctured disk. But intuitively it has 2: one at the top and one at the bottom. And this answer lies at the heart of the most rigorous axiomatization of quantum field theory. (1/20)

🚨 BREAKING: SolanaFloor has obtained exclusive video evidence exposing a $200M+ memecoin extraction scheme tied to @KelsierVentures , @MeteoraAG and @WEAREM3M3_ .

The footage, featuring DeFi Tuna Founder @CavemanDhirk and Ben Chow, lends further credibility to allegations of coordinated market manipulation.

A few years back I applied to a company with a referral from the hiring manager who I had previously worked with while consulting for that same company.

I listed the exact database technologies that they used in the role… which I knew perfectly well because I had literally done that role for that hiring manager for over 2 years as a consultant.

HR lady didn’t let me past the initial phone screen because it “doesn’t say SQL on your resume”.

@aravindputrevu @theo @coderabbitai Sometimes the descriptions came out quite good, but I often found myself using them as a starting point and then re-writing them to sound more human.

[Jacob Crabtree @crabtr26]

@aravindputrevu @theo @coderabbitai My main gripe was with the wordiness. I found the descriptions were mostly accurate but the AI would throw in a lot of qualifying language that was very artificial sounding at times. For example, “reorganized structure for better organization”.

Bitcoin has lost its way. I feel similarly about ETH. The vision was to build a new financial system without gatekeepers. The current status quo is to hand things over to the existing players and/or become them.

Every time I see a Fibonacci drawing on a Bitcoin chart, a little part of me dies

@kylelangham @ajki76 I think it's almost impossible to separate the signal from the noise if you aren't getting your hands dirty yourself.

Financial alchemists are still stuck trying to turn meme coins into gold. Chemistry did not make sense to pre-scientific practitioners whose wealth and status depended upon belief in their elixirs.

Real builders are not confused by price charts.

Solana, Ethereum, Aptos, Base... yes this all makes sense.

But ICP in 3rd I am confused

[Jacob Crabtree @crabtr26]

Yeah this part is slightly tricky. You can't install npm packages from the javascript notebooks to use the juno SDK.

You can install most python packages using Pyodide though. Unfortunetly ic-py doesn't publish a pure Python wheel, otherwise you could just pip install that from a notebook and use a canister for storage.

[Jacob Crabtree @crabtr26]

Hey @junobuild, do you guys like Jupyter Notebooks?

If so, check out the template I created which makes it super easy to share them with your friends using my favorite hosting platform 😉

[Jacob Crabtree @crabtr26]

@daviddalbusco @junobuild When I was in school, I worked on a lot of science/math research. Most of the professors and students I knew used Jupyter pretty exclusively.

Sharing any results with non-techy collaborators was always quite annoying. It’s pretty awesome that I can now just drop them a link.

Lord Kelvin famously believed that atoms were "knots in the aether".

And he was onto something: perhaps not atoms per se, but knots can indeed tell us something quite deep about the nature of the universe, and the relationship between classical and quantum field theories. (1/16)

Holy shit. They did it!

Congratulations to all of the plaintiffs and lawyers involved here. We are all in debt to your work 🙏

Privacy wins. Today the Fifth Circuit held that @USTreasury’s sanctions against Tornado Cash smart contracts are unlawful. This is a historic win for crypto and all who cares about defending liberty. @coinbase is proud to have helped lead this important challenge. 1/6

@OoTheNigerian @PalmerLuckey @paulg And the article:

https://t.co/zuQYUuS2vs

[Jacob Crabtree @crabtr26]

The language @PalmerLuckey and @paulg are using to describe this situation is far more disengenous than the omission from the article.

Palmer claims that the author "Fabricated quotes by taking two different sentences from two different parts of an hour-long talk". The entire quote comes from a single continuous section of the talk that lasts 30 seconds.

I can concede that the author of the article should have included some elipses or a [REDACTED] to indicate that they had cut out the middle two sentences. Those two sentences make no impact on the meaning of the quote anyway. It is definitely not "the opposite of what he actually said" by any sensible interpretation of the word "opposite".

Palmer seems to be most upset about the fact that they did not include his qualification "I’m not doing that directly, my life’s not on the line". However, he literally goes on to include himself in that "warrior class" in the very next sentence: "you need people like me, who are sick in that way...".

I call BS.

[James Rosen-Birch ⚖️🕊️ @provisionalidea]

I don’t get his game here

man says it, it’s linked in the article with the timestamp, he goes on social media and says he didn’t

the tech right really loves a vibes-based, post-evidentiary world, huh

@OoTheNigerian @PalmerLuckey @paulg I am posting clips because this is Twitter and it is the best way to make a point here. I have very limited access to people's attention.

This clip is from ~5:25-5:55. The original post is from ~25:30-26:00.

Here is the whole thing:

I can 100% believe that Palmer is being misunderstood here. I myself am quite nervous when speaking publically and would be very likely to put my foot in my mouth if I were under the same circumstances.

I just cannot support his attack on this journalist or his claim that this is some sort of "journalistic malpractice" or a "fabricated quote".

My genuine opinion at this point is that it seems like he made a simple mistake and probably wishes he could have this one back. I just think he should just own up to it and be more careful the next time.

[Jacob Crabtree @crabtr26]

@PalmerLuckey @paulg If you are truly being misunderstood, you are making it very easy for those who seek to do so intentionally.

[Jacob Crabtree @crabtr26]

@PalmerLuckey @paulg Here is what I watched at the beginning of this talk:
