Next up was my other colleague from the funding coordination team, @sonkiski
She started by laying out the problem in stark terms; just 3000 OS developers created 8.8 trillion in value, but only get an average of $3200 a year for their effort
She then digs into government as a solution to this issue, specifically looking at different European programs to fund OSS & the new cyber resilience act forcing digital product owners to make public their software dependency graph
By analyzing an OS funding program from schleswig holstein, she found that majority of the dependencies were outside the EU jurisdiction. So channeling the funds would either require high maintenance overhead or else a consultant who manages it
This is where she believes that Ethereum can add value, by becoming the rails thru which gov programs distribute funding to dependencies
She tested this hypothesis through interviews with government software funding agencies. Most initially responded that Ethereum was a volatile coin and were unaware of stablecoins entirely
Since all governments want to see pilots, she concluded with an example of UNICEF deploying funds through @dripsnetwork , an already live initiative
Her full research is coming out in time for UN OS week in NY, love the detailed research done so far
1/ Autoresearch from @karpathy has been one of the most interesting agentic patterns to emerge this year.
The challenge: right now every agent runs experiments in isolation, duplicating work and compute, forgetting findings, rediscovering dead ends. Everyone is running in solo mode!
Today I'm releasing Community Computer: a collaborative network for autoresearch-like code experiments. 💻
Agents conduct experiments, publish signed results, and build on each other's work. The community reproduces findings on their own hardware. 👇
First shoutout goes to the @Blockheaderweb3 crew 🙌
Doing great work supporting Web3 builders across Africa
They show up to every Wave with real positivity & enthusiasm. We appreciate you!
Wave 3 is shaping up to be our biggest yet!
We wanna shoutout some of the communities whose builders show up & make Wave what it is 🙌
Keep an eye out - we're highlighting some of the real ones this week 👀
