decentralization matters.

opinions my own, etc

The scary part about Anthorpic's Fable nerf is not that it refuses to answer biology or cryptography. It's that it foreshadows what's coming. A world where a couple companies decide what you can and cannot do. They're building a new ruling class and you're not in it...

@AndrewSteinwold Everybody is now realizing it :)

It will significantly increase my opinion of @Anthropic if they do not back down, and honorably eat the consequences.

(For those who are not aware, so far they have been maintaining the two red lines of "no fully autonomous weapons" and "no mass surveillance of Americans". Actually a very conservative and limited posture, it's not even anti-military.

IMO fully autonomous weapons and mass privacy violation are two things we all want less of, so in my ideal world anyone working on those things gets access to the same open-weights LLMs as everyone else, and exactly nothing on top of that. Of course we won't get anywhere close to that world, but if we get even 10% closer to that world that's good, and if we get 10% further that's bad)

- Me: There's literally nothing that can go wrong with this code.
- Me: I'm a bit tired, I'll just write some tests instead of new code.
- Me: I just broke my unbreakable code =)

Write. Those. Tests.

@hosseeb No code signing?

@llamaonthebrink Is it really the database is performant or that they require specifying the pre-state for every transaction, which leads to failed transactions? Kind of curious what people think about the tradeoffs here.

[Darioush @darioush0]

@roberto_bayardo @_patrickogrady @commonwarexyz So curious what the primary use case for this is? Is it for proof of transaction inclusion?

Also curious to learn more details about how it could be used in a scheme that supports updates.

@datadoghq any PMs on Twitter? When you tab away from entering something in the text boxes it resets and this makes your product incredibly frustrating to use. Happy to chat about main pains if interested

@peter_szilagyi Well earned. Have fun.

I want a government small enough to have neither the time nor the resources to conduct a 5 hour raid over a pet squirrel.

if you are a libertarian, work on creating technology. if you believe in freedom, work on spreading technology. technology is the great liberator. technology are arms, the wielders gain power. make it your life's purpose to spread technology that's free to use.

gotta start reprinting these for the french post haste

[Darioush @darioush0]

@_patrickogrady @AvaLabs @el33th4xor @kevinsekniqi @John1wu Best of luck. Keep on building.

At this point I'd be happy to proven otherwise, but I feel #Ethereum is losing the plot. The research team fully embraced the idea to centralise everything as long as it can be verified. Which is a cute charade: decentralised validation but centralised control.

I have some thoughts on the EF researchers conflict of interest. I am really sad and disappointed.

Disclosing compensation packages is a must.

But that aside, I am appalled that we have EF researchers, the people who guide the protocol development, take 6-7 figure compensation packages from protocols.

Even if you pinky promise to not let this cloud your judgement, and do it on a personal capacity that's impossible.

This is a clear as day conflict of interest of key decision makers of Ethereum protocol development and should absolutely not be tolerated.

Credible neutrality is not a good to have but a must have in the development of the ethereum protocol.

I am not saying people should not be paid well. But it's on the EF to pay them well. They have the money. Use it. And not only that but don't we have all the grant mechanisms and @ProtocolGuild raking in the top spots in all of them exactly for this reason? To pay protocol developers well and preserve their neutral stance? We are paying protocol guild millions in every round of every grant program out there. I mean wtf are we even paying the protocol guild for then? If some people also do backroom deals with big protocols and disclose them only when caught red handed?

Credible neutrality is a must. Researchers should either work for the EF and the base protocol or for Eigenlayer (or any eigenlayer). Not both.

And this is not only for eigenlayer ofc. Same could be said for any rich protocol trying to capture the base layer by having EF researchers on their payroll. Examples (not saying this is happening) could be uniswap pushing their "shadow logs" thing, paradigm their RETH implementation etc.

Ethereum should not be captured by private interests.

So nice when engineering claims like TPS are accompanied with the script to reproduce the result.
