Второй онлайн-день #DotNext закончился.
В числе прочего был интересный разговор на тему «Страх и ненависть в Open Source», но я вам о некоторых особо заметных случаях рассказывал уже вот тут и тут. Ещё послушал про обратное соединение распиленного монолита (бывает, что и такое нужно!) и ещё пару докладов.
В целом, впечатления противоречивые. Опишу кратко.
Плюсы:
1. Высочайшего качества техническая организация. Ничего не глючило, чистая картинка и звук, удобный UI.
2. Были полезные и практичные вещи, интересные.
3. Реально отвечали на вопросы в чате в реалтайм-режиме.
Что прошло ниже моих ожиданий (я впервые на такой дорогой IT-конференции):
1. Наверное, подсознательно я ожидал что с учётом цены билета буквально каждый доклад будет супер звёздным уровня "Торвальдс лично рассказывает подробности устройства ядра Linux, и делает это с шутками и котиками". Но доклады в среднем довольно обычные. Некоторые поверхностные, другие на очень далёкую от меня тему. И ещё их не очень много, не то, чтоб был гигантский выбор. Хотя, справедливости ради, больше 2-3 лекций в день тяжело осилить.
2. Интерактивные фишки формально заявлены: виртуальные стенды и квизы. По факту, во-первых, стенды и квизы полностью повторяют друг друга, во-вторых, их было всего два, и интересный (на мой личный взгляд) только один. Я ожидал, что их хотя бы десяток будет.
3. Часть обсуждения в Telegram, часть прямо в онлайн-чате лекции, и это, на мой взгляд, не пошло на пользу. Мне не хотелось вступать в Telegram-чат, но активность в основном чате лекции была низкой, при этом с телефона такой чат вообще не подразумевался.
Я для себя убедился, что всё-таки именно мне в таких мероприятиях важна офлайновость: прийти и вживую потусить, получить мерч, поучаствовать в активностях. Чисто в онлайн-формате сугубо на мой взгляд мероприятие себя не окупает. Посмотрим, что будет в офлайне 27-го числа, напишу вам отзыв.

Slides omit to mention "pissed off a large section of the community with arrogant plans to capture 100% of the stake".
Focusing on community staking and governance reform were *absolutely* the Right Things To Do and in no way a mistake. Respect.
I am much less concerned about Lido now than I was a couple of years ago, and I am glad we held their feet to the fire over this. https://twitter.com/tomwanhh/status/1956000751873851473

RT @TimBeiko: The @ethereumfndn is hiring a developer tooling coordinator 🛠️
You'll help us decide what to build, fund and support across the ecosystem!
Ideal candidate has technical experience across the Ethereum stack, an intuition for how dev tooling should evolve, and some ops chops 👇

RT @abcoathup: FAQ
⌛️@ethdevnews limited run
Weeks not months. Unless I find sponsors/grants.
@optimism's RetroPGF 2 grant for @weekinethnews pays my rent and feeds my family. But after living off that for years (thanks @evan_van_ness🙏) it is finally coming to the end.
I want to work for Ethereum forever but also need to eat.
🤖 Can't AI do ethdevnews
Not yet, but eventually. Currently news gathering is manual (twice a day, 7 days a week), with manual curation. I use AI for quick fact checking, but my wife is the best proof reader.
If your AI news just points to where I have curated updates on @EthMagicians or assigned EIP/ERC numbers, then it is still me doing manual work (though happy for AI to takeover these unpaid tasks).
🧑💻@abcoathup job hunting
Tech writing/community likely suits me best. I'm more of an AI prompter than a software engineer these days but would consider testing.
I want remote async & family friendly. I’m in Melbourne Australia. Travelling (family commitments) and public speaking (autistic) are both hard for me.
Resume and writing samples available.

Thanks friends for all the support. 🙏

I'm disappointed that none of the crypto (or AI, or network state, or...) critics so far have used "beware of geeks bearing grifts" as a slogan.
It's just.... right there for the taking!

RT @liron: Doom Debate with @VitalikButerin has dropped:
Will “d/acc” Protect Humanity from Superintelligent AI?
Vitalik is both a hardcore techno-optimist and builder, and someone willing to seriously consider AI regulation and coordination mechanisms. He coined the term "d/acc'" – defensive, decentralized acceleration – as a middle path between uncritical AI acceleration and total pause scenarios.
We debate the tractability of AI alignment, whether approaches like d/acc would actually work when superintelligence arrives, and why he thinks a pluralistic world of competing AIs might be safer than a single aligned superintelligence.
The crux of our disagreement is that I think we're heading for a "plants vs. animals" scenario where AI will simply operate on timescales we can't match, while Vitalik believes we can maintain agency through the right combination of defensive technologies and institutional design.
Finally, we tackle the discourse...

RT @ethresearchbot: New post on EthResear.ch!
Integrating 3SF with ePBS, FOCIL, and PeerDAS
By:
- Luca Zanolini
- Roberto Saltini
🔗ethresear.ch/t/22909
Highlights:
- The integration of 3SF with ePBS, FOCIL, and PeerDAS aims to enhance blockchain efficiency and security by addressing transaction inclusion and proposer-builder separation.
- The proposed system operates in slots, allowing all validators to vote on blocks every slot, which simplifies the process and removes the need for epochs or committees.
- FOCIL ensures that important transactions are included in blocks by requiring proposers to follow inclusion lists created by a committee of validators, preventing censorship.
- ePBS formalizes the separation of roles between block builders and proposers, allowing for a more competitive and transparent block construction process.
- The research highlights the importance of maintaining core properties of 3SF, such as reorg resilience and transaction inclusion, even when integrating new mechanisms.
ELI5:
This research explores how to combine a new protocol called 3SF with other proposals to improve blockchain performance and security. It looks at how these systems can work together without causing problems, ensuring that transactions are included fairly and efficiently.

RT @0xzak: I've been in crypto for over 10 years and I’ve Never been hacked. Perfect OpSec record.
Yesterday, my wallet was drained by a malicious @cursor_ai extension for the first time.
If it can happen to me, it can happen to you. Here’s a full breakdown. 🧵👇
