New blog post: Ghost in the Block, an Ethereum Consensus Vulnerability, by Giuseppe Cocomazzi. Slight nuances in SSZ deserialization between the Prysm and Lighthouse clients could have allowed an attacker to degrade Ethereum consensus. asymmetric.re/blog/ghost-in-…

i just realized the chain lows into critical angle is something speedrunners have been doing for eons

I preferred when crypto was mostly anarchists and autists who genuinely believed in a shared vision that didn’t include slop posting tourists and soulless suits

something honestly designed as a decentralized autonomous protocol will tend to obey ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️ 's principles if not designed this way, it's best to assume it's just a business with extra steps

⚠️ BRAIN ROT ALERT how large language models work, 100% explained: > transformer block > query, key, values > embeddings and positional encodings > multi-head attention > layer by layer operations

Watching borcherds show how contravariant functors arise from categories of vector spaces like its basic arithmetic and then struggle to spell contravariant is the peak example of how math brainrot works

Get Josselin on your audit before someone else does. I've seen him spot criticals before others even understood what the protocol is about. He is the real deal when it comes to security reviews.

BREAKING: Apple just proved AI "reasoning" models like Claude, DeepSeek-R1, and o3-mini don't actually reason at all. They just memorize patterns really well. Here's what Apple discovered: (hint: we're not as close to AGI as the hype suggests)

Gotta confess I have no idea what alpharush is up to since 2 years. He pops to complain about fuzzers and consensus bugs no one saw then dissapears for a month like some kind of security whale, coming back to the x surface to breathe before diving again. Mysterious creature.

when Kanye said "i keep it 300 like the romans", it was actually a reference to the roman numeral CCC, which stands for cartesian closed categories, whose internal logic is simply typed lambda calculus. casual listeners largely missed this

Our intern program is back, now with the option to work in-person in NYC or Zurich. We're looking for security research types who are curious, skilled, and ready to work on security challenges that matter. Apply below ↓
