I just got my first Apple computer ever, it's so over (but it's not cause they're best in class for local AI ig)

Rotating wallets is so frustrating because you basically lose your onchain reputation, invites/referrals don't follow your ENS, etc. I wish someone was fixing this!

I immigrated a poop into America from Greece if that's okay

I am ironically an egomaniacal psychopath with a god complex because things that you do ironically bleed over into your real life. It’s far healthier doing that than being ironically pathetic and self-defeating and helpless

It remains a basic fact that if @SankoGameCorp can successfully ship a gamified ponzi like SankoQuest (AKA SankoScape AKA Onchain RuneScape), it's the best chance we have at an Axie-esque run this cycle. Not having exposure to this is retarded. $DMT

Payment Processors shutting down games is what gamers wanted. "Rabbi, that's crazy! Why would gamers ask for that they are clearly against it!" If this were true, gamers would not have actively resisted the integration of crypto into their products. They have systematically removed alternatives to payment processors, and VISA, Mastercard, and Amex all know they have monopolize the market. Newsflash "gamers", if you were serious about this you could be buying skins as nfts already. You sat on your hands for a DECADE on this technology, stuck your head in the sand, and said "YAYAYAYAYAYAYA steam is gonna fix this for us!" while we tried to tell you how to save your ecosystems. You didn't want that, you wanted centralized markets like the failed 2013 Diablo 3 Auction House that became a china scam nightmare and was legally forced to shut down. You don't want ownership of your products, you want Riot games to ban you so that you can't at least reclaim the value you've accrued contributing to their development. You don't want any of your Warzone achievements on-chain, you want them sealed away in a game that will get rereleased in a few years with no compatibility so that you rebuy everything now for a higher premium, cause that nostalgia value, yummy! You want the alternative? Onboard. Claw your way out of the ignorant mud and recognize the only way to go around payment processors is an entirely new financial system. This was never about "money" this was always about culture. Put your foot down and actually build something different.

The only people bullish centralized bankerchain L1s are messaging providers LMAO I wonder if they'll self-immolate by ruining messaging security to real chains by connecting to fake chains that can reverse, censor, alter, and fabricate messages. Is secure support even possible?

This is the most bullish thing for Ethereum. The recent wave of big fintechs (Stripe, Circle) launching their own L1s isn’t a sign that the L2 thesis is dead. It’s the clearest signal yet that the world is splitting into two camps: Infinite censorship resistance /or/ Zero censorship resistance. And in that split, Ethereum owns one of the poles. People imagine censorship resistance as a sliding scale, where you can park yourself somewhere in the middle and get “just enough” decentralization. But in practice, the middle collapses. The moment a chain can censor at all, it becomes impossible to distinguish between “some censorship” and “total censorship.” Users, regulators, and counterparties treat it as fully centralized. That collapse forces builders to choose. If you need your system to be unstoppable, you choose the infinite censorship-resistant option: Ethereum and its rollups. If you don’t, you might as well go fully permissioned, because the regulatory, operational, and commercial advantages of centralization only pay off when you stop pretending to be decentralized. This is why the middle (Aptos, Sui, Avalanche) will be squeezed to zero. They’ll try to buy relevance with incentives and partnerships, but they’re competing in a no-man’s-land where neither the censorship-resistant camp nor the permissioned camp takes them seriously. History is littered with these failed hybrids — the AOLs of the open internet, the proprietary “almost Unix” systems of the 80s, the closed “sort-of open” software ecosystems that vanished when real open source and fully closed platforms took the market. The bifurcation is already here.

Let’s quantize a real example together. 🧮 Start with weights: [0.1, -0.5, 2.3, -1.8] In float32 → 16 bytes. Goal: shrink to int8 (just 4 bytes). How? Two magic numbers: scale and zero_point. 🔑 Step by step 👇
