Build a culture that people are proud to be part of
Babylon launch in next couple of weeks
Just dialing in gameplay and generation
I been grinding on the decentralized version, almost deployed onto our network
Should be fun
It's kinda funny that because I'm such a chill goon degen hoodie wearing programmer type, a lot of people I meet IRL treat me like someone they've discovered who needs to be helped, or who could finally experience success working for them on their dream
It happens so often. Does this happen to other people? Is this just a San Francisco thing?
I agree
I want Base to support our project and I don't want to talk shit but the creator coin meta is such an obvious transfer of social capital to financial capital that doesn't even go back to the creator, "holding to support" means being exit liquidity for others, it just feels extremely low IQ and like the creation of people who really don't believe in it but they have to push their top project which happens to be a memecoin launchpad pivot who's volume has dropped 10x since the bull market died.
Come on, you guys are so smart, you could do so much better than friendtech for web2 normies.
Quantum computing is much farther away than the media will ever tell you.
I’ve had a lot of conversations with very, very smart people about quantum computing. It is an exciting field, and real work is happening. But the gap between what quantum computers can actually do and what people claim they could do in the next 40-50 years is massive, and it leads even smart people to say wildly dumb things.
There is a narrow class of cryptographic problems where quantum computers can theoretically outperform classical ones. For hash functions like SHA-256, the best case is Grover’s algorithm, which cuts the search space from 2²⁵⁶ to 2¹²⁸.
2¹²⁸ is still an impossible number. Not “hard.” Impossible. Like even with absurd, fantasy-level hardware, you’re talking about timescales longer than civilization, longer than biology, longer than anything relevant.
Often referenced is Shor’s algorithm, which can be used to crack RSA/ECDSA by factoring very large numbers into primes. In practice, today’s best quantum computers can't even factor the number 21 into 3 and 7 without knowing what the result should be ahead of time.
So even if quantum computers were millions of times faster, the absolute best you get is 2¹²⁸ attempts instead of 2²⁵⁶.
To crack Bitcoin, you would have to do this in minutes, repeatedly, against a live network-- and if that were remotely possible then bitcoin would be the least of our problems, since all private encrypted data would be up for grabs.
There is no serious path to that. It's impossible to even imagine a timeline, but the jump in capability would be greater than the jump from a computer in the 1950s to a server farm today.
Modern cryptography assumed future compute growth from the start. Quadratic speedups were anticipated decades ago. It was priced in.
Any time you see fear or hype around quantum computing, remember:
These people have no fucking idea what they are talking about.
