ZKML is way too slow to use for non-trivial applications. This summer I tried going back to first principles, and fixing its core inefficiencies - for certain types of models, we have reached over 1,000x speedups! Please check out the work! :)

Verified ML in the form of ZKML has captured significant interest. But it's too slow in practice, taking 6 hours to verify the Twitter recommendation model Enter TensorPlonk, a new ZKML proving system with >1,000x faster proving 📝Blog post: 🧵 1/9

there is this persona of the average 2023 startup bro that has no original thoughts, works on random startups associated with the current hype train, and can only repeat points from twitter threads during conversation.

As hardware and proving systems progress, circuit optimizations will become less and less relevant (not worth the extra development time). Everyone will be writing proofs with SP1. It's over.

Decentralized perps face a huge capital-efficiency problem (pretty evident from the recent hyperliquid liquidations). MMs are restricted in arbitrage strategies due to the limited margin engines (USDT only, no spot cross-margin). Was super impressed with Stream's approach to this

The Apple Vision Pro is not expensive. The price will go down 2x, and if it really delivers on its promises (greater productivity, teleport to a new world, live anywhere), people will seek funds to buy it. Everyone in 3rd world countries have phones now — why is this different?

Someone should build AI so that large code-bases are more digestible. Many times, most files are not relevant, or can just be viewed through an abstraction -- having an AI to guide you through that would be pretty valuable, considering that it's a pretty manual task

@danieldlongo I feel like "social learning" is being encouraged by STEM education nowadays. In classes, students are fed information to be regurgitated on an exam, the next 10 lines of code in a pset can be figured out by a preceding comment. There is little room to think.

Considering crypto is mainly about social coordination — there is a shift towards believing in social coordination enabled by the tech, rather than the tech in itself. I think this is evident in the rise of ENA, memecoins, and the widespread readoption of the btc thesis.
