- Practical Rateless IBLT: Part 1
This two-part post presents a digest of the PRIBLT paper, and Part 1 sets up set reconciliation and surveys prior approaches. The central idea is that PRIBLT makes IBLT rateless and practical, so the sender streams codes until the receiver can decode, with no need to guess the size of the set difference. Alice and Bob, the post's example pair, exchange codes by phone until Bob signals that decoding has succeeded. The article says that on average between 1.35d and 1.72d codes are needed, where d is the size of the set difference, even with millions of items in each bag.
- From Ledgers to Sandcastles
- Moving on from Topology
The author announces they have left Topology and reflects on mistakes made while running it, including tying their self-worth to external progress measures, rushing into action before planning sufficiently, relying on building from scratch instead of reading prior research, and copying the traits of a few founders without understanding what kind of founder they should be. They say they are now exploring topics in applied sciences, drawn by the possibility that GPT might accelerate scientific progress, and they remain open to starting another company, which they describe as a means to an end.
- Topology protocol walkthrough - guiltygyoza
- Fish, Sinthome, Ethereum
Written as a personal essay, this piece traces the author's path from psychoanalysis and cooking to work at Lightmatter, and then to Ethereum. It says the author left cooking because they could not see how it uniquely contributed to the world, and left Lightmatter after feeling discontent for unclear reasons. The author describes Ethereum as a frontier that resists definition and is designed to entangle with history. The essay argues that the world computer must solve pressing problems, and that people need to understand the world first rather than looking for problems to fit Ethereum.
- What's the point of Autonomous World?
The article argues that the "Metaverse problem" has three parts: building concurrency infrastructure, establishing interoperability standards and protocols, and finding a group to onramp first. It proposes that autonomous worlds could host collaborative scientific simulations, such as climate models, as "scientific townsquares" for public examination. The author cites NASA's J-Track Java Applet, which plotted more than 100 satellites on a Mercator map, as an earlier example of the Internet hosting public scientific simulation. The piece also draws on Matthew Ball's definition of the Metaverse and the internet's hourglass architecture.
- Moving on from Topology - guiltygyoza
guiltygyoza announces they have moved on from Topology, their startup, and reflects on mistakes made while leading it. They attribute the errors to tying their self-worth to external progress measures, which let irrational factors shape decisions, and to rushing into action before planning sufficiently. They also say they read too little and rebuilt known work from scratch, and that they modeled themselves on a few idiosyncratic founders without working out what kind of founder they should be. Looking ahead, they say they are exploring applied science, which they see as the most rewarding frontier after GPT's release, and they view startups as a means to an end they may use again.
