"Mathematicians have long studied how shapes can fit together to cover surfaces without gaps. However, their typical approach – using shapes with sharp corners and flat faces – is rarely seen in the natural world.

Instead, living organisms use a dazzling array of patterns to form and grow, for instance in muscle tissues. Most strikingly these patterns are characterised by shapes with curved edges, non-flat faces, and few, if any, sharp corners.

Up to now, how nature achieves geometrical complexity using these ’soft shapes’ has eluded mathematical explanation.

The answer... is a new class of mathematical shapes called soft cells. These shapes have a minimal number of sharp corners, and cover space without gaps."

Biggest blockchain conference in the world but I still have to look after a badge AND wristband for a week 😂

“Don't lose your badge or wristband. Treat these with the same level of care as you would a passport.” 🤦🏽‍♂️

Just got round to reading “The AI Scientist” paper by Sakana AI, along with teams in Oxford and Canada

What I found most exciting about this work is that, unlike most recent AI breakthroughs in the current “scaling war” era, this one really could come from a team with modest resources.

last week I introduced hybrid-chain NFTs as an effective way to decentralise dynamic NFTs on Ethereum, using /icp

today I'm open-sourcing IC canister code to get started with your own hybrid-chain NFTs!

https://github.com/omarperacha/eth-metadata-starter

Example on @base:
Dynamic NFTs have a dilemma:
・Either you centralise metadata to make traits easy to change
・Or you store traits in the contract, but lose indexing by not returning them from the tokenURI

Until now, thanks to /icp

Free customisable (!) mint on @base to explore for yourself

PSA 🚨 if you’ve been building an iOS dApp with self custody, and banging your head against the wall because your users can’t even connect their wallet without the flow breaking:

Zerion have just fixed the deep linking issue on affecting ALL users of ALL wallet apps on iOS 17+

Thanks @evg and team ✌🏽
What’s the easiest way to do the following on ICP:

Given a canister written in rust, call a method declared in its candid API via HTTP, passing arguments as query params?

Do you need a frontend canister or can you directly call this rust “backend” canister?
Mobile dApp builders want their users to have self-custody - here’s how wallet app builders can help 👇🏽

1. Deeplinking back to dApps broke with iOS 17 last year. This creates a breaking experience for the majority of iOS users trying to connect or sign messages.

Question about ICP Canister ECDSA keys:

If a canister can have an ECDSA key, does it follow that it effectively “has the Ethereum account” corresponding to that public key?

I guess so since it can sign messages with the correct private key through threshold ECDSA - is there a step I’m missing?

The best chicken ramen in the world, period. Tori Soba Zagin in Osaka 🍜

Broth is (I think) smoked chicken and clam chowder. Fried burdock. Smoked egg (yolk is really that colour, no added saturation on this)
If you’re building a dapp on Optimism, what were your reasons for choosing it over other optimistic L2s like Arbitrum One?

I’ve seen conflicting info about Gemini roll-out to end users - some say it’s already in Bard, others saying it’ll be available by API only until January

Can anyone confirm if they have access, to which model version and which modalities?

New publication 🚨 Better data is all you need for state-of-the-art protein secondary structure prediction! Presenting PS4, the largest open-source dataset for protein single-sequence prediction 🧬

Achieves SotA q3 & q8 accuracy on CB513 in zero shots by training on PS4 alone, with no MSA input 🦾
Anyone got good ideas for empowering users to challenge your validity proofs when building a validium?

Especially thinking about the idea of proving censorship when data availability is off-chain
Anyone here got experience with EF’s halo2wrong lib? Been struggling to generate a verifier key for a basic circuit using just their ECDSA gadget, wondering if anyone has done this successfully 💻🔑

ZK builders - what libs do you feel confident are actually production ready for devs to use in their apps today?

Use case:
- Proof that an ecdsa sig is valid

Public inputs:
- Message
- Signature

Hidden inputs:
- Public key

Nice to have:
- Proving system supports recursive proofs
- No trusted setup
