after building in crypto compliance I realized these regs will either never happen or won't be effective when they do. all they will do is create friction for users and builders. e.g. I access Claude3 via perplexity 🤷♀️
checked with my team, they said: Flossing is good but it's not for your fascia, it's to release clamped up nerves that get stuck
send it to some folks for review before posting! also… “just ship it”
good writeup on how/why asic for zk https://polynya.medium.com/optimistic-rollups-are-brilliant-and-the-state-of-blockchains-a57bc4799dca
I foresee crypto based live/international betting over AR games like Hado coming to reality within two years: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgxyNRueSWk
true. starting to see ev module eg drivetrain platform type companies show up. not an expert either. still researching. good related thread: https://x.com/ashwinl/status/964019482694856705?s=46&t=kthd8ojGjX0WMmMmQKJ0iQ
true that EV aren’t disruptive but as our energy mix changes and supply chain disruptions happen due to climate, I believe we’ll rely on nearby stored energy more to power things like cars. I might be wrong, just world building
fwiw (e)vtol is having a WeChat moment in China as well. Again, b/c they’re full-stack. Make their own components, own manufacturing line, own software. not there yet but way ahead
true some will stay but if you visit see the EV coming out of China, Vietnam,India etc you’ll see how far behind US/EU automakers are. TSLA is not doing what it’s doing b/c it’s magic. It’s b/c they’re full stack. A typical GM car relies on 100s of vendors. Cannot innovate on machine that makes machines
thanks for sharing that video... til! fwiw, my h/w assumptions are not for consumer electronics
re year: didn't mean everything will happen in 2024 but will happen over 3-5 years so consider when looking for problems to solve. immediately energy feels expensive esp in EU, but the overall trend is otherwise
re energy: microreactors localize power, commercial nuclear batteries https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/nuclear-battery-betavolt-atomic-china-b2476979.html
this module gives me hope/signal that we'll have large (vision/mutli-modal) models available for embedded soon https://store-usa.arduino.cc/products/gravity-huskylens-ai-machine-vision-sensor
Tired: bots are bad, they spam! kyc and liveness verify everything, scan for biometrics Wired: bots behaving on behalf of their human is a core component of acceleration, build systems and checks for this new world. Verified credential presentation solves this
if buying e-ink display, go for waveshare and keep eye on suitable grayscale for your use case. the 16-grayscale make for great minimal interface
coming to sf week of 2/19. would love to get some games in. I'm more of a 4-4.5 but DUPR ecosystem sucks near me so officially consider me unrated
