Solving quantum algorithms with AI by @eigencloud. Science is accelerating and open source is going to drive that.
NEAR is shipping post quantum crypto end of Q2 to make sure everyone has time to upgrade.
Quantum computing is a threat to every blockchain protocol. NEAR's architecture already makes accounts and assets more quantum-secure than most chains.
The team is now adding post-quantum cryptography to secure NEAR and the wider Intents ecosystem.
Here's what's underway 🧵
Wasabi across all chains including Berachain has been hacked. If you have funds in Wasabi WITHDRAW THEM NOW.
Berachain users have approximately $50K at risk.
Use this to revoke https://t.co/bDp77VOGSr
Move quickly to withdraw your funds.
Reward vaults for Wasabi have been paused in the interim.
🧵Numbers Protocol & Filecoin
TL;DR: Numbers Protocol authenticates digital media on the blockchain at capture. Timestamp, location, creator, tamper-proof.
Used for war crime evidence, elections across three countries, and broadcast journalism. Filecoin stores the archive.
Good news for PC users 👀
RAM prices are finally dropping
After months of price hikes, DDR5 RAM got cheaper in March
• Average drop: ~7%
• Some models dropped up to 19%
Prices are still much higher (~4x) than last year because of high demand (AI + chip shortage)
This could just be a temporary price drop, not the final one.
Planning to upgrade your PC or waiting for better prices? 🤔
FINALLY memory chip prices might actually go down.
Google just released TurboQuant. It lets AI use 6x less memory and run 8x faster. Just a software update. No new chips needed.
Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron all crashed today because of this news. If AI needs less memory, companies buy fewer chips. Simple.
AI has been making everything expensive for the past 4-5 months. More RAM in laptops. Higher server costs. Even your phone got pricier. This could be the thing that slows all that down.
But one thing to know. TurboQuant only helps when AI is answering your questions. Teaching AI from scratch still needs the same amount of memory as before.
Also Google hasn't shared the actual code yet. Still just a research paper.
So prices may not fall tomorrow. But this is the first real sign that the AI memory madness has a limit 👇
Smartphone industry is moving back to 2013:
• 90Hz display is coming back
• Waterdrop display under 15k
• LCD displays under 20k
• 5G phones will be above 15k very soon
• 4GB RAM under 20k
• emmC storage is coming back
• 2-3x Price increase
All thanks to AI.
The 𝕏 algorithm feels broken right now. It does not matter how good your content is or how much effort you put in longer posts get far more priority. I have observed this across my own posts and many others.
Short, clear, and informative updates barely get any reach, while long threads with average information are pushed much harder. This discourages creators who focus on accuracy and value, because effort is no longer rewarded the way it used to be. Instead of promoting the best content, the system now seems to favor word count over usefulness, which is hurting the overall quality of the feed.
