If you find yourself writing a bullet point list and passing it to GPT to make a "proper" article, it's often better to just give people the bullet points. The GPT adds "wordcel noise" that the reader has to struggle to extract useful info from more than it adds useful context.

Excited by LatticeFold+(eprint.iacr.org/2025/247.pdf), a joint work with Dan Boneh for constructing post-quantum secure and memory-efficient proof systems at scale.

Last month, I built some experiments with hardware+MPC wearables as an iteration of Cursive's NFC+ZK work. Here's a very simple demo: recreating barrywhitehat's 2PC is for Lovers talk from Istanbul using Garbled Circuits! More details in 🧵

Introducing Zinc 🪨: Succinct Arguments with Small Arithmetization Overheads from IOPs of Proximity to the Integers (eprint.iacr.org/2025/316)

Mercury, with Liam Eagen, goes beyond previous techniques for multilinear commitment schemes, obtaining constant proof size rather than logarithmic, while preserving "elliptic curve linear time" - O(n) field ops and 2 size n MSMs, but no O(nlogn) from FFTs eprint.iacr.org/2025/385.pdf

It's a very exciting time in tech right now. If you're a first-rate programmer, there are a huge number of other places you can go work rather than at the company building the infrastructure of the police state.

Its impressive how much slower GitHub has gotten over the past 5 or 10 years. One of the best things about it originally was that it was fast and just worked. Now my computer and internet are probably 3x faster and yet somehow GitHub is 10x slower.

AI video is getting really good now. This one by Dor Brothers captures social media/influencers in a nutshell youtube.com/watch?v=zmlbAb…

Wrote a short note to share some thoughts on aiccelerationism, hyperreality, and the recovery of human connections. arnaucube.com/blog/ai-connec…

ECC saved the security of the Internet, and where we moved from the DH method with discrete logs to an EC version. Satoshi Nakamoto selected ECDSA for Bitcoin. This event celebrates the 40th birthday of ECC: eccworkshop.org/2025/index.html

I've written this short note on how Neo compares to LatticeFold in their embedding from fields to polynomial rings, and how this relates to "pay-per-bit" commitment schemes and NTTs. Especially targeted to ZK practitioners who may be new to lattices! blog.icme.io/folding-scheme…
