I built a bot to get rich without ending civilisation in @danrobinson
& @justinwangx’s Pace.
Unfortunately, the other player also gets a vote on the civilization bit.
Can you pace the frontier?
@danrobinson and I made a multiplayer game inspired by a game theory paper from @andrewjkoh where you play an AI lab. Racing ahead increases your profits… but also the risk
Try to beat the computer — or your mutuals online :)

on the flip side, @chris_kraeuter and I reached 77.7% chance of cumulative p(doom), and yet we walked away with billions

ok, this is really fun! highly recommend taking a shot at it
To go with Kryptos, we launched a challenge with ten brand-new Kryptos-like puzzles.
The first solver of each puzzle gets a $1,000 prize.

After 7 incredible years, I've decided that Friday May 29th will be my last day at the Ethereum Foundation.
I'm humbled by the projects I got to work on along the way: from the KZG ceremony, to helping architect the early design of the Beacon Chain, and a lot in between. At the age of 23, the Ethereum space welcomed me on the basis of having some great (and many stupid) ideas and let me influence a multi-billion dollar technology, an incredible opportunity I will remain forever grateful for. Ethereum has had a huge impact on me, and I hope my work has had an impact on Ethereum, and in turn on the world.
To every researcher, core dev, EFer, and community member, whether we worked together closely or not: thank you. The strength of Ethereum is, and always will be, the people behind it striving to make it what it is. I'm grateful to have spent these years among you.
What's next: I don't entirely know yet. For now I'll be enjoying time with my wife and our 1-month-old while I figure it out. Longer term, I'll find or create something with brilliant people at the intersection of engineering excellence, hard problems, and useful products driving economic activity at scale. If that resonates, or you just want to catch up, slide into my DMs!

An exciting initiative is launching: The push for shorter slot times in Ethereum!
The idea: Instead of a one-time change, parameterize the slot time and treat it similar to the gas limit - continuous performance improvements over time.
And again a beautiful website!

Being evil is cringe
It takes time to unpack the noise, but @CharlotteFang77 's "it's just art" excuse is the contemporary equivalent of the tasteless YouTuber "it's just a prank bro"
defense of plain bad parasitic memes

right. open access isn't just a nice principle, it's literally just a better way to allocate capital
One aspect of DeFi that has been getting overlooked is efficiency
Yes, there's trustlessness, transparency... but fundamentally a system where anyone can lend and anyone can provide liquidity is much more efficient than one where that is gated
