Great attendance at DARE this year. This Erasmus+/ACM school is becoming a regular meeting point for the EU Distributed Data community, but we need more participation from the US. dare-lisbon.github.io/program/

Oh boy. I got myself again into this situation of preparing slides on the train for a talk at DARE 2025 tomorrow morning. All on track now, ou intended, but I slightly panicked two hours ago when started editing.

Survey papers are the boundary. They used to take a long time to write. Now I look at a survey paper and I wonder how much of it was written by the authors vs. by Deep Research. Even if it was all manually produced, the doubt is unsettling.
We really need to catch up to the disruption of AI.

When you are one step ahead of the crowd it’s not obvious if you are a fool or a visionary. But at least the view ahead is less crowded.

People got very burned by the crypto volatility and falls of 2018 and 2022. But volatility is decreasing. See the quick drop and rebound after the fed news.

BTC didn’t like the federal reserve keeping rates put. Not surprising.
