why are you using leetcodes for hiring in 2024?
(serious question, imo leetcodes aren't very useful as a measurement of actual capability)

@TurboThaad
There's a noticeable uptick (or at least, a cessation of the downtrend) around 2015 here in all categories though. Reasonable theory that this could be because of smartphones, and thus actually a massive effect!
@MarkovMagnifico
the absolute best way I've seen is to ask increasingly-specific questions about a candidate's knowledge on the subject matter
ie, for ethereum smart contract dev:
- "what's the difference between a pure and a view function in terms of what it does"?
- "okay, now WHY would you
@mechanical_monk
Yes! That's what makes it such a good example of hard scifi. It's so detail oriented and I love it.
Enjoy the ride man, it's the best hard scifi TV I've seen since Battlestar Galactica.
The method eth_createAccessList returns list of addresses and storage keys used by the transaction, plus the gas consumed when the access list is added.
i can't believe I haven't seen the use for this w/ mev before now omg
any other defi/eth devs out there struggle with having a good git flow process? we need
1) a branch that represents what is on mainnet. tests should not fail on this branch, basically ever.
2) a branch to develop off of for features, where we can simulate the future

comparing the change that AI can/will bring to any existing change or technological innovation shows a fundamental lack of understanding of the subject
can someone please explain why python package management is so...complex?
like with node I literally just npm install and basically never have any issues
why are python dependencies harder?

Bullish.
re-learning linear algebra via 3B1B and realizing that, no, I don't actually suck at linear algebra for some reason, I just had really shitty TAs
it's actually pretty neat stuff, nice.
@jconorgrogan
keep it mind that if there has been any media publicized about this, it could be pulling from that
not that I doubt gpt4's ability to find these bugs, however.
the magic in getting gpt4 to work really well seems to lay mostly in the custom prompt. just updated mine to version 3 and it's working incredibly well. here's what I have for "How would you like ChatGPT to respond?"

some arber bot came online on Matic this morning, sending an tx every other minute
Matic bot profits up 50x today, the poor sod's arbs are getting frontrun ~95% of the time by me
I love not doing the hard work of computing arbs 😈
@tautologer
yes, absolutely - I probably say either directly no or "not right now as I'm low on energy, but how about in two hours". same as asking "hey do you have space to talk about something a bit serious?" to a friend or partner.
this isn't an exaggeration
they literally SIMULATED A CPU from a turing-complete compression algo so that they could bootstrap their scripting/exploit environment
what the fuck
The NSO zero-click iMessage exploit is pretty mind-bending: it used a vuln in the JBIG2 image compression in PDF, and then, not having scripting, built a virtual CPU entirely out of boolean pixel operations.
All this just to hunt down some dissidents

Added caveats:
- zkp bridges are basically light client bridges but using circuits to cut header verification overhead
- you will still need to develop a **custom verification strategy for each chain consensus model**
- they will not work on ORUs because of rollback risk
Downside of doing solo MEV is that when I implement something *really cool*, I have no one to talk about it with
So just imagine the coolest feature for an MEV bot/system, and pretend like I did that, I guess
Man it is so cool tho 😎
You can pass functions by reference in solidity. You can also use them as the value type in a mapping.

unit testing w/ conditional probability & invariants, so coooool
wonder if I can use this to arb...

I took a series of classes in college that had us build a (simulated, simplified) computer starting with simple logic gates, all the way up to registers & memory and I/O.
Then we had to program a simple unix-based OS in C. Hardest class I've ever taken but learned so much.
incredibly easy prompt injection attack

Absolutely not. They'll scan any contract you call and any contracts THAT calls for all functions sigs, and simulate calling them themselves, find the free eth, and fire

gpt is, essentially, a simulator of all text-generating processes. when generating text it is simulating (of sorts) all viable people/things/processes that could make that text
when you constrain it to be simulating "a very good auditor", you constrain its output
This 1bn feels a lot different than the first time around 😄
The community, the partnerships, the lessons, and the mechanisms are all coming together
Fei v2 is gonna be epic
New feature landed in Foundry's cast:
Addressbook for common contracts + ABI resolution from address using etherscan API.
This improves the UX of issuing contract calls as you don't need to remember the address or the function signature for your call!
It arrived! Time to alter my oral microbiome y'all
(Cat for scale; Hela is a little concerned. Also, fair disclaimer here, I invested in Lumina. They didn't ask me to post though and I genuinely think this stuff is really dang cool)

my napkin calculations are showing it's lower.
$1 in 2008 --> $1.33 in 2023, so 33% overall inflation
115 --> 150 (billions) = 30.4%
so slightly lower? (so far)

ERC4626 is a landmark interface for yield bearing vaults that will supercharge DeFi innovation ⚡️
On this rock we will build our empire 🏰
TLDR; adopt ERC4626 or ngmi
Here is what this interface means for the Tribe, and for DeFi generally 🧵
256gb memory. 4x2tb 4thgen pcie nvme ssds in hardware raid0 for near-memory-speed random storage access. 1x2tb in a DIMM.2 slot for the os drive. and a threadripper 3970x to boot.
but most importantly, *all* the rgb.
(this is what I run my geth node(s) on now. embrace excess!)
Once we get access to the 32K-context model of GPT4, I think it may be *extremely* useful for bug finding in smart contracts.
but this goes both ways
start getting familiar with the tech now.
