grocery store in my neighborhood installed a bunch of self checkout machines back in 2019 to cut labor costs.

Predictably, shoplifting spiked, eventually eating away at all the labor cost savings

Now they have security guards watching the customers while they bag their own groceries. Lmao

Brandon taught me so much esoteric domain-specific knowledge in the short time I knew him

i constantly think back to his explanations when I try to understand new papers

can't believe he's gone. It's like the burning of the library of Alexandria.

it's hard to determine the intention of a code author in the vibe coding era

If the code is bizzare, it could be intentional, or maybe the author never read their code

If you're interested in deep blockchain tech, there is nothing left besides ZK (and other cryptography)

mechanism design is dead, consensus is boring, fraud proof systems are dying

long live verifiable computation and privacy
