@michael_nielsen@LauraDeming This is interesting. Would the economics work for the “founders/chefs”? Is Michelin * really equivalent to an IPO exit for a founder?
Hippasus of Metapontum shook the ancient world by proving √2 is irrational.
Pythagoreans believed that all numbers could be expressed as the ratio of two integers. This belief was foundational to their understanding of the Universe as being based on harmony and proportion.
The first time you work really hard on something, in addition to the immediate benefit (whatever you were working for) you also learn that you're capable of working really hard. This makes it easier to be ambitious in all your future plans.
Two-thirds of Art Blocks projects rely on @p5xjs.
Today, we're thrilled to announce that p5js 1.0.0, the go-to dependency for Art Blocks, is now fully on-chain. ⛓️🔒

@Hanrgb@0x113d@xaltgeist Terraforms is a living autonomous sculpture computed on the runtime of the Ethereum virtual machine. It’s visualized through thousands of own-able 2d windows which allow users to inscribe their own data on its surface. It points toward dynamic computing and media as an art form.

The most impactful and resonant work for me recently has been a piece called 'Angelus.'
It is an Ethereum On-chain art piece that embodies the paradox of being simultaneously attainable and unattainable.
For days, I was consumed by the desire and greed to possess 'Angelus.' I learned and succeeded in programming ZKP and Circom. Occasionally, I was captivated by delusions of the attention and financial benefits I would gain from owning the piece. Blinded by this, I spent many weekends, both day and night, relentlessly studying to master ZKP.
After succeeding in ZKP, I came to a realization: this piece is ultimately unobtainable. I reflected on my past self, who was occasionally consumed by greed to possess this artwork and who studied intensely.
When I regained my senses, fully comprehending this reality, I was shocked at how blinded by the prospect of ownership I had been, exerting such intense effort.
It is likely that no one will believe this until they experience it for themselves. They will be shocked when they realize the truth. Time will tell.

Priced to sell at less than 0.00001Ξ, yet nearly impossible to buy.
Its price is derived from a hidden image, and they can prove it, but we may not live to see the purchase.
