AI's impact on someone's day-to-day job largely depends on their level. It impacts junior engineers the most, with the impact level dropping through to the senior level, before becoming useful again for Staff+ engineers. This may be why developers' experiences vary so much. The reason some people are skeptical or overly excited may be because the tasks they are working on are quite different.
This repository contains a collection of Excel exercises that teach concepts in AI. It covers topics like Softmax, Temperature, Backpropagation, Long Short Term Memory, Multihead attention, AlphaFold, and much more. The repository is still being expanded with more sheets.
The world has become increasingly financialized as a consequence of bad money. The US dollar serves as a poor monetary instrument because it doesn't effectively preserve purchasing power over long time frames. Instead of saving, people are forced to invest. While Bitcoin simplifies savings and definancializes the world of money and savings, crypto is producing a world of hyper-financialization. New products are constantly emerging that attempt to turn anything and everything into a financial market. The phenomenon will probably continue as fiat unwinds, but after a long enough time, Bitcoin's core value proposition will become more apparent.
This post contains a short story on what an AI researcher thinks could be the worst-case scenario for an AI takeover. It is not a likely scenario, but it is not pure fantasy either - AI progress might not become as fast or untamable as the story portrays, but it could happen in the right circumstances. The future is still not set, but some of the worst outcomes are already plausible.

This paper introduces a novel approach to tracking how features discovered by sparse autoencoders evolve across consecutive layers of large language models using a data-free cosine similarity technique that maps feature persistence, transformation, and emergence. The paper demonstrates how the resulting cross-layer feature maps enable direct behavioral control of the models through feature manipulation while providing mechanistic insights into model computations through granular flow graphs.
QLASS introduces a Q-guided stepwise search method for language agents that improves decision-making by providing intermediate rewards. This approach enhances inference efficiency and reduces reliance on annotated data.

The Congressional hearings on "Operation Chokepoint 2.0" highlighted sharp partisan disagreements over whether the Biden administration deliberately pressured banks to cut off crypto firms, though both sides ultimately agreed on the need for clearer banking regulations. While Republicans accused regulators of overreach, Democrats dismissed the controversy as political theater, yet there was bipartisan support for reforms like written guidance and increased transparency.
A growing number of US states are proposing Bitcoin reserve legislation, with Kentucky becoming the 16th state to introduce a bill allowing up to 10% of excess state reserves to be allocated to digital assets. These bills coincide with significant institutional accumulation through Bitcoin ETFs, which now hold over $100 billion in BTC. While analysts suggest that state-level adoption could trigger a global race to accumulate Bitcoin as a reserve asset, they also note regulatory hurdles and volatility concerns hindering government adoption.
Story Protocol's $IP native token will be used as part of its plans to turn intellectual property into a programmable asset class. The token features a 1 billion initial supply with 58.4% allocated to ecosystem growth and community initiatives. It implements a unique “fair launch” staking mechanism where staking is enabled but rewards are paused. The protocol aims to create a permissionless IP exchange network to address challenges in AI training data licensing and IP monetization, with tokens used for security, gas fees, and governance rights.
Arweave has launched the mainnet for its decentralized computing platform, AO, after a year-long testnet phase, introducing a high-speed, parallelized computing environment built on Arweave's permanent storage network. With this launch, AO's native tokens - distributed to AR holders and testnet participants - are now transferable, supporting a broader ecosystem of decentralized applications and AI-driven autonomous agents.
This article introduces a structured framework for writing effective tests in Web3 protocol audits, emphasizing that high code coverage alone doesn't ensure security. It encourages developers to adopt three key mindsets - hacker, invariant, and system architect - to identify vulnerabilities and create more resilient protocols.
CryptoPunks' dominance has surged to 46% after dipping to 30% in late 2024 due to hype around token drops from projects like Pudgy Penguins and Azuki. With those catalysts fading, both CryptoPunks and Bored Apes are regaining ground, relying on brand value rather than speculative events - raising the question of whether their dominance will keep growing, much like BTC in the broader crypto market.
StarkWare's founder, Eli Ben-Sasson, has outlined its strategic pivot from technical development to driving mass adoption. He highlights its current capabilities like 500 TPS, sub-cent transaction costs, and the upcoming 940x faster STARK prover launch in Q2 2025. Starknet is pursuing simultaneous Bitcoin and Ethereum settlement and improving bridge infrastructure, developer tooling, and support for 30+ new dapps in 2025. Ben-Sasson acknowledges its poor usage metrics and low market mindshare.
