RT @AyaMiyagotchi: Vitalik shared his perspective on where @ethereumfndn is heading. Here is mine, another part of the same story. The EF Mandate from the board was something I proposed late last year. Two main things prompted me. First, debates that were meant to be technical had started to become political and personal, and at times shaped by quieter incentives. Second, as EF grew, more and more versions of "what EF should be" began pulling at the core of the organization from every direction at once. I became convinced that trying to satisfy all of them would leave us achieving nothing at all. It was time for us to restate our role and underlying principles clearly, both the parts that have been clear from the start and those that have been informed by over a decade of experience. We have said it many times: EF is one of many nodes in Ethereum. I know that is hard to hear for some, because EF was the first group, an

One of the many things I dislike about the style of "make AI go well" discourse from frontier AI companies is how nationalist the whole thing has gotten. In the 2010s, it was: "we're here to benefit all of humanity" In the 2020s, "we're here to benefit all of 4% of humanity" And even the Good People are buying into this frame completely😢 And they expect humanity to go along, because "come on, be a realistic adult, it's either us or Chiiina" or something like that (And on the EU side, you get "[X] with European values", which too often seems to mean "the same stuff they're doing, but with Us instead of Them in charge") Very big-dog-small-dog energy, morally speaking.

RT @tcoratger: We’re currently putting a significant effort into improving leanSpec. The goals are simple: • Simplicity • Clarity • Correctness We are leanifying LeanSpec. If you have ideas around design, structure, or devex, now is a great time to reach out and help shape the project. 👇

Building index-tracking assets on top of options instead of debt https://t.co/gFNEvCbHct What if the use options as the base of defi, instead of CDPs and liquidations? So instead of extreme price movements creating a sharp and global "you get liquidated" effect, instead your exposure to the index diverges quadratically from your preferred exposure in a smoother way? A key benefit is getting rid of the need for instant oracles, and instead making everything work on top of "slow oracles" (ie. the type that prediction markets use) This design has a significant downside - the need to do regular rebalancing - and an open question of whether and how this rebalancing can be made slippage-resistant enough. But it's worth considering and trying IMO. I would feel much safer holding algostables inside something like this, than in something that depends on an oracle that has to give real-time answers (and therefore could be tricked into giving wrong real-time answers with no time for human rec

RT @mullvadnet: The EU age verification app is presented as “completely anonymous”. But the risk is that member states (the countries are supposed to create their own versions of the open-source EU app) use it to introduce identity verification that makes it impossible to post anonymously on social media. The idea behind “completely anonymous” is to use Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) cryptography to break the link between the age credential issuer (EU governments) and the regulated services/sites. Currently, the EU app does not have ZKP functionality, contrasting Ursula von der Leyen’s claim that the app ”is technically ready to be used”. But more importantly, the app is designed to always function without ZKP technology; if ZKP is unavailable, the app falls back to a non-ZKP model. Even if fully developed ZKP technology could be implemented in the future, it would remain an optional extra feature that countries may choose to disable and that the EU could

There's probably under-claimed win-wins between the two groups. The problem is that the existing institutions for mediating the conflict are extremely high-friction. eg strawman: have a rule that buildings that are in the top 50 percentile of making neighborhood aesthetics types happy pay 0.1% less property tax, and the rest pay 0.1% more that would probably get you significantly better aesthetics, with very low cost to efficiency or freedom or dynanism or other good things? eg strawman 2: keep big pharma but make the incentives favor a much more open-science approach to safety and efficacy verification you get significantly better public trust, with very low cost to scientists being able to do their thing?

This is with DN at 1.515x which is 4.743 Equity / Maintenance, safe level is 2, so can still at least double. Defi isn't dead, its just slow.

@Indian_Bronson Worked like a charm. Time to return to this approach.

Glad they’re ok

Good point

This is simply a fact
