New! Thanks to lamb356, here’s BLAKE3 in portable WASM. It runs anywhere wasm does (which means all web browsers for starters), and in some cases it runs even *faster* than native, hardware-accelerated SHA256. Try it: lamb356.github.io/blake3-wasm/

omg even more permissionless, shielded coinvotes!? This poll is going to be so great for Zcash as a demonstration of the size and diversity of the Zcash community. sauce: forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/coinholder...

brb seeing if I can crash Claude by importing djb’s software design philosophy
Claude trick: check in markdown containing the design philosophies of great engineers. Then, when I'm chatting with Claude I can @docs/ref/sussman-sicp.md to bring in Gerald Sussman or Joe Armstrong or Rich Hickey's POV.

Even more permissionless, private on-chain coinvotes rolling in. (I don't yet know how many ZEC are behind each of these ballots and how they voted on each question.) Get in there with your ZEC! :-)

New Token Holder Voting Implementation
I just went through the pain of the current ZCash tokenholder vote process. This is crazy, had to send funds out of my private key, and paste the mnemonic into an app. We all know we can do far better...

I'm extending the smalloc core (which is in Rust) to support ffi to the C `malloc` API and the Windows `HeapAlloc` API, so I've been improving the readability of the smalloc core at the cost of enlarging its lines-of-code count from 341 to 375. :-) github.com/zooko/smallo...

I got interested in the tumult of the reign of King Henry the 8th, so I asked Claude what’s the most historically accurate dramatization, and it recommended “Wolf Hall”. I love it so far! Super slow and detailed, and contrarian because it portrays Cromwell as the hero.

I like to scrutinize people's posts in retrospect—using the passage of time as an acid test. I posted “Zcash is winning” on August 9, 2024. This is what the price of ZEC looked like at the time. I think the post holds up. Please read it and scrutinize it: medium.com/@zooko/zcash...

BTW, this may be uncharitable and ignorant of me but I totally interpret this arbitrary 16 GiB limit in the browser as "That one mistake—virtual mem is a proxy for real mem—that people keep making", which the entire smalloc project is kind of an attempt to dispel. github.com/zooko/smallo...
