Spend weekends not only relaxing, but also devoting a little time to studying.

New blackboard lecture w @reinerpope

How do chips actually work – starting with basic logic gates, and working up to why GPUs, TPUs, FPGAs, and the human brain each look the way they do.

0:00:00 – Building a multiply-accumulate from logic gates
0:16:20 – Muxes and the cost of data movement
0:25:59 – How systolic arrays work
0:39:00 – Clock cycles and pipeline registers
0:51:40 – FPGAs vs ASICs
1:03:14 – Cache vs scratchpad
1:07:16 – Why CPU cores are much bigger than GPU cores
1:11:49 – Brains vs chips
1:15:22 – A GPU is just a bunch of tiny TPUs

Look up Dwarkesh Podcast on YouTube/Spotify/etc to watch. Enjoy!

@Vvtentt101 thanks for sharing 💙 will test it

Introducing the open source version of evm now: https://t.co/8aHGAx6dik

We believe EVM contracts deserve a simple, open source UI that enables users to use contracts permissionlessly.

That's why we're working on a standard and sdk and the above example dApp UI to power better UX for interacting with smart contracts.

.@cyfrin has been working tirelessly to shift security left, into developers' hands, since day 1.

- Building tools like @SoloditOfficial, Aderyn, Moccasin
- Teaching people how to become auditors at @CyfrinUpdraft
- Doing conventional audits

And we just took another step

The @battlechain testnet is now LIVE.

Come enter the ultimate red-team platform.

Give us feedback so we can launch mainnet very soon, and fix web3 security.

[Matt Huang @matthuang]

Tempo Mainnet is live.

Alongside it, we’re introducing the Machine Payments Protocol (@mpp) alongside Stripe (with extensions by Visa for cards and Lightspark for Bitcoin).

Proud of the team for getting mainnet live so quickly, and excited to see what you build!

[Matt Huang @matthuang]

AI is getting strikingly good at security

Great to collaborate with OpenAI on this work

I almost never regret reading; I almost always regret scrolling.

Reminder to my future self to try and read more books and to read instead of mindlessly scrolling social media whenever I have some time to kill.

The algos are working against us, books are a defense

@Zeneca Did you read Paul Kingsnorth's "Against The Machine!"?

[Andrej Karpathy @karpathy]

Don't think of LLMs as entities but as simulators. For example, when exploring a topic, don't ask:

"What do you think about xyz"?

There is no "you". Next time try:

"What would be a good group of people to explore xyz? What would they say?"

The LLM can channel/simulate many perspectives but it hasn't "thought about" xyz for a while and over time and formed its own opinions in the way we're used to. If you force it via the use of "you", it will give you something by adopting a personality embedding vector implied by the statistics of its finetuning data and then simulate that. It's fine to do, but there is a lot less mystique to it than I find people naively attribute to "asking an AI".

@Adam_Tehc Great article. I wasn't in the trenches from the very beginning, but I remember the spring of 2024, when PF was just getting started. But I'm one of those who in the trenches atm and your dashboards are the first step in my daily-trenchy routine.
