Remember 2 weeks ago everyone was screaming “Uptober”? Tariff news caused a price shock which led to a liquidation cascade of long positions.
This math formula caused the market to crash in 1987. This formula does not account for jumps in price, discrete delta hedging, trading fees, nor slippage. Too many assumptions baked into an over used formula led to a market crash.
Seems like many on CT were trading on leverage. I guess having a previous startup related to on chain options contracts taught me a thing or two about the concept of hedging. A trade without a hedge is a gamble. Short term, prices follow Brownian motion with jumps.
Recent market conditions once again proved the market need for a decentralized non custodial perpetual futures exchange that does not auto deleverage user positions. #hyperliquid
Just completed a Padel tournament. Insanely humbled. It’s such a mental sport. Consistency and level headedness is what wins, not flashy moves. In a way it’s similar to software engineering, being super consistent, chill, and level headed is what gets you ahead.
good result on the poll
Why is my GitHub username “partylikeits1983”? Prince said “party like it’s 1999” - the last year before the world ends. 1983 is my nod to being just before a world of total surveillance and zero privacy. We can prevent this dystopian future with Zero Knowledge Cryptography.
Privacy preserving DeFi is part of this. Isn’t it crazy that it’s currently impossible to transfer money on a blockchain in a completely private manner???
I’m turning 41, but I don’t feel like celebrating. Our generation is running out of time to save the free Internet built for us by our fathers. What was once the promise of the free exchange of information is being turned into the ultimate tool of control. Once-free countries…
The future of freedom depends on zero-knowledge proofs.
Some ideas why Rust is superior for writing smart contracts. The Solidity compiler should become more strict and should adopt certain ideas from Rust. @solidity_lang
A lot. The philosophy of rust is that you essentially have to prove safety of your program to the compiler; solc could benefit from this mindset. Other areas where solidity could learn from Rust: 1. Would be nice if solidity had a “match” statement to prevent juggling lots of…
study math. not for grades. not for exams. but because math rewires how you think. it teaches you precision in chaos. how to see structure where others see noise. how to break a giant, messy problem into clean, solvable chunks. every great engineer, physicist, and builder;…
yup Circom definitely feels dead. Noir is cool, but it also has its issues...
IDK man, as much as I love Circom, it feels like a dying project. Despite having a great community, 1.5k stars on Github, and being the only browser-compatible Groth16 solution. I've been waiting for more than a year now for the ARM support PR to be reviewed. Just come on, guys.
Padel padel padel. Who’s down to play in Argentina during devcon?
what's cool about starlink is that its very difficult to triangulate your approximate location even if your actual IP address leaks... Only slight problem with starlink is that the actual portable antennas are quite fragile, a cow broke mine...
