Hot take inspired by migrating our frontend to Electron overnight: AI eats low-depth code first. Frontend goes early. CUDA keeps its moat.

I'm unnerved by common claims of "with our super duper library X, doing Y is just 5 lines of code: ...". Ok you hid a lot of code under defs and reduced flexibility. I'd rather see it be 50 lines of code, with nice modular building blocks where various reconfigurations are clear.

Super cool paper breaking #Ethereum's gas model: https://t.co/Yf5om4MoEe The authors dig up some Ethereum gas mispricings, mostly by messing with I/O heavy instructions. They then code up a genetic algorithm that searches for the optimal smart contract to abuse gas mispricings.

What a pleasure to judge/mentor such an event. Well organized by @Fluence_One & @ArweaveTeam with a kind support of the Minsk blockchain community. Congrats to the winners. I’m literally feeling how decentralization is happening!
The Decentralized Web Hackathon is only few days away. Minsk🇧🇾 is all set for the hackers' invasion!👩💻👨💻 Great to have highly experienced judges and mentors on board!🙌 Make sure you've registered for the @ArweaveTeam & @Fluence_One #hackathon: https://t.co/AgD3fi6pPb
