Imagine if the Renaissance, the collapse of Rome, and the industrial revolution all happened at the same time. I think that's where we're headed on the timeline
If the us has a "strategic" eth reserve doesn't that give them a pretty big (read: outsized) influence on fork choice? We talk a lot about how usdc and other stable coins could legitimize a fork based on which assets they recognize. But, imagine if the us starts staking eth validators and then, because it's government, they never update their clients for upgrades and only recognize the old chain. Are we just stuck with that chain because of their economic influence? Are we cool with (committed to) forking out and slashing the us government?
But also slightly degrades readability

What bothered me most about the theatre yesterday was the demand for fealty
America isn’t a feudal kingdom, it’s a republic — no man is a king and while we celebrate great statesmen, we serve no masters
If you’re in crypto, it’s ever more important to build or align with protocols that can’t be co-opted

Awesome. Wish this was started years ago, as it will take most of a decade to complete, but I’m still excited to see the needle pointing in the right direction.

My new pet conspiracy theory is that all the big web2 recommender algos learned that to increase engagement they can manipulate people in meatspace to make the world as absurd as possible to induce more rage bait interactions on their platforms. Nobody intentionally did this, it's just we already lost control, and we lost it to the recommender algos

Recently rewatched the 3blue1brown optical puzzles series with my partner. I think it's a great example of how educational content can change the way you fundamentally think about the world. I'm far more comfortable with calculus and linear algebra now compared to when they were released, but I'm still coming away with the same realizations that I did before, just parsed the few equations shown a little quicker this time

Many, actually!
Most at the intersection of crypto x real life:
- Stablecoin payment processors replacing POS Visa & Mastercard devices & fees is the most obvious one
- Better capital formation mechanisms bringing back ICOs, but in a way where teams are held accountable through milestone deliverables, ragequitability of funds & chances of being replaced as executors
- Easier ways of bootstrapping token economies in the real world, creating liquidity where there is non a-la Grassroots Economics & q/acc

Where did all the anarchists in crypto go? I came into this space when it was filled with people building tools and protocols that would sever reliance on state actors and ancient bloated institutions. People used to recoil when government or political parties were mentioned, because they could be captured by authoritarians or an adversarial mob. We were building a trustless base layer of last resort, it would literally be impossible to exclude anyone from using it. Those were the values and aspirations that pulled me into this space.
Is anybody here aware of anyone building reputation markets? I just finished listening to the latest win-win and I think the idea is super intriguing.

Noticed today when doing a simple math problem that I never factor things and get stuck as a result. Found some factoring practice problems and am going to work through them over the next few days to get comfortable with it and prime my brain to pattern match when it'll be useful
Whose all working on keystore rollups?
Spent the night playing around with noir again. It's been a few months since I checked it out last, and I feel like it's at the point now where I'm having fun figuring it out. Reminds me of how solidity felt around 2017~2018.
Are there any wallets that exist primarily as a secure library for apps to import and then build their own UI off of?

One of my old favourite browser extensions was reddit comments for youtube, it would replace the regular youtube comments with the comments from where it was posted on reddit and tabs to switch between the posts. I think this would be a very cool thing to do with farcaster comments and FIP-2

crypto is hated and reviled, and the three years i've been here indicate to me that that's not gonna change for at least another 10 years
that's not "10 years to become mainstream"
that's "another decade to become legitimate"
progress is exponential, but progress is not a single path. and the internet has created thousands of different paths. crypto is only one of them
so compare the growth of crypto to the growth of the internet all you want, but it's wrong. the internet started as "unfamiliar" which hindered its growth. crypto is known as (and is, in its current form, undeniably) dangerous to consumers
and inb4 "but it's inherently secure" -- gtfo. teach your sweet aunt about how to secure her tokens, i dare you
and inb4 "oh it's a UX issue" -- no. it's PR issue. America Online had a UX issue. nobody was saying "those free AOL CDs will steal your money and also billions of dollars and also destroy the global economy"

A browser extension or plugin for reading apps that acts like a "syntax highlighter" for written language. Feed the page you're reading to an LLM and let it rank each token based on some user defined filters and then highlighting phrases according to the filter rankings.
The obvious example is to highlight phrases based on political leanings. but, I think the more interesting filters would be things like, is this phrase a technical explanation, a call for violence, is it supported by evidence provided in the text, is it logically consistent, is it attempting to shill something to the reader or trying to extract value, how much fluff does it contain
I think a tool like this would be extremely valuable for parsing the increasingly hazey information landscape
