What or whose writing or podcasts would you recommend reading / listening?

Hey HN, I recently learnt about Halo 2 and PLONK zero-knowledge circuit design and built a Wordle clone that creates ZK proofs of the grid you share afterwards. This was mostly a fun intro project for me and I wrote up my notes introducing

That’s a fair criticism - I like to think a blockchain is akin to a shared computer we all have access to (via programs/contracts) which makes it really convenient to use blockchains in such ways. Besides, the perpetual machine propert

Hey folks, Creator here, thank you for sharing this here - it seems there’s a decent bit of misunderstandings in the comments (particularly around the security model/monetary cost) so I’ll clarify some things: - Your main wallet is nev

The only work adjacent to this I’m aware of is MetaMask Snaps[1], a plug-in system that allows for arbitrary code execution in wallets. I know some teams in the 0xPARC community[1] are interested in it and have been looking into using it, b

See 0xPARC’s recent blog post[1] on this topic (in particular, see the section “What can we do with zk-ECDSA?”) [1]: https://0xparc.org/blog/zk-ecdsa-1

Thank you! Those papers are some of the densest ones, so maybe as a starter I would recommend Vitalik’s blog posts on ZK[1]. If folks are interested in a complexity theoretic introduction to ZK proofs, incidentally, in the interest of being

> Using a community chest to reward front-runners for submitting claims is clever. Would the ETH reward still need to be at least as large as the transaction cost to incentivize front-runners? Or is there still a cut of the token being t

Hi folks, I recently made a small game using Zero-Knowledge proofs that awards players Ethereum NFTs for successfully solving a puzzle. Zero-Knowledge proofs are a pretty new crypto idea with lots of cool applications like this one. I'

It's kind of mind-blowing that the universe allows us to do this at all: Convincingly prove that you have a solution to a puzzle without revealing anything about the solution itself. On the sudoku example, I built out a playable versio

As albertyezer’s comment noted, this was definitely a very influential project for film and art in general. On the other hand, to understand the significance of the story, you have to notice the subtle “identity” of Tokyo. The city is descr

Hey Gwern! Thank you for your note. You're right about the "its", I think a lot of them happened because quotation marks in my Latex setup need to be dealt with individually. I'll make a pass and fix those soon. I suppos
