@v_rohlfs Idk but congratulations to the @nethermind team for implementing the Polygon zkEVM stack

@badamczewski01 Might not be totally in vogue in the wider .NET community atm but 1/4 of the $400Bn Ethereum ecosytem validators run on the open source @nethermind client which is C# and 97% of them run on Linux

@AvailProject @ethereum @berachain @avax @fuel_network @Filecoin @ArbitrumDevs @solana @Hyperlane_xyz @dymension @subwalletapp Please add alternative Eth clients such as Nethermind and Reth

[Kabumbus @Kabumbus]

@AvailProject Not fair to have geth in your list of OSS software and not to have @nethermind !

Ten months ago, we launched the Vesuvius Challenge to solve the ancient problem of the Herculaneum Papyri, a library of scrolls that were flash-fried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.

Today we are overjoyed to announce that our crazy project has succeeded. After 2000 years, we can finally read the scrolls:
This image was produced by @Youssef_M_Nader, @LukeFarritor, and @JuliSchillij, who have now won the Vesuvius Challenge Grand Prize of $700,000. Congratulations!!

These fifteen columns come from the very end of the first scroll we have been able to read and contain new text from the ancient world that has never been seen before. The author – probably Epicurean philosopher Philodemus – writes here about music, food, and how to enjoy life's pleasures. In the closing section, he throws shade at unnamed ideological adversaries – perhaps the stoics? – who "have nothing to say about pleasure, either in general or in particular."

This year, the Vesuvius Challenge continues. The text that we revealed so far represents just 5% of one scroll.

In 2024, our goal is to from reading a few passages of text to entire scrolls, and we're announcing a new $100,000 grand prize for the first team that is able to read at least 90% of all four scrolls that we have scanned.

The scrolls stored in Naples that remain to be read represent more than 16 megabytes of ancient text. But the villa where the scrolls were found was only partially excavated, and scholars tell us that there may be thousands more scrolls underground. Our hope is that the success of the Vesuvius Challenge catalyzes the excavation of the villa, that the main library is discovered, and that whatever we find there rewrites history and inspires all of us.

It's been a great joy to work on this strange and amazing project. Thanks to Brent Seales for laying the foundation for this work over so many years, thanks to the friends and Twitter users whose donations powered our effort, and thanks to the many contestants whose contributions have made the Vesuvius Challenge successful!

The team behind Nethermind Research published their latest research piece on the @obolnetwork forum! They propose 2 approaches for improving encrypted transaction mempools using Distributed Validator (DV) clusters: 1) DVs as Builders & Relays; and 2) DVs as Keypers: committees that are responsible for timely transaction decryption.

"The document should be written with such clarity that it's like angels signing from up high."

Lots of goodness here. How it feels when everyone's reading your memo, how the process of writing it might look like.

No more bulletpoints for me!

ilya didn't sound very decel 2 weeks ago

"it really boils down to:
look at what you've experienced with ai up until now
ask yourself like is it slowing down? will it slow down? next year? we will see. [...] and we'll experience it again and again and i think it will keep keep and what needs to be done will keep becoming clearer"

"how will it all play out remains to be seen it may be that somehow the scale required
engineering complexity will start to make it so that the rate of progress will start to slow down
it will still continue but maybe not as quick as we had before or maybe the forces which are coming
together to push it will be such that it will be as fast for maybe a few more years before it will
start to slow down if at all"
