If this is the response of Ethereum core devs to application developers talking about their pain in bringing dApps to market, then the EVM is truly FUCKED. The EF not only has lost touch with what people want, they are actively working *AGAINST* the people who consume block space
Replying to @Tudmotu
Right, because it's impossible to do anything meaningful onchain without using 16.78M gas in one tx. Not sure you serious. Also, contract deployment can even exceed the tx gas limit with glamsterdam.

Rumpel’s time has come to an end. While this isn’t the ending we envisioned, we ran it hard, and I’m proud of what we accomplished. Over 4.5 years, the Sense/Rumpel team pursued two distinct visions in DeFi — fixed income (Sense) and liquid point incentives (Rumpel). We raised during the 2021 highs, weathered the brutal 3ac luna ftx winter, ran numerous MVPs, and pivoted to a product users genuinely wanted. Both protocols introduced new markets for exchanging risk, representing our bet on what DeFi does best. I’m equally grateful to have built alongside a genuinely exceptional team. Founded on strong ownership, high autonomy, and low ego — we stayed lean, ambitious, and honest with each other. @jparklev & @0xstvn brought the engineering expertise that made both protocols possible, and @gophillionaire brought the GTM expertise to make our products shine. 0x Labs is lucky to have a couple of them. To our investors and users, thank you for your trust, your feedback, and your willingness to use (& back!) something bold and new. It has been a distinct pleasure building for this community. As for me, I’m not going anywhere. I still believe in the promise of DeFi, a new technology paradigm that brings greater access, expressivity, and capital efficiency to global markets. Taking some time to decompress and think clearly. The next bet is already forming. See you onchain, anon 🫡
After four years and two protocols, Rumpel Labs is winding down. The market isn’t yet ready for liquid point incentives. Our engineering team is joining @0xProject. To every user, investor, and supporter who took a chance on us — thank you. Wind down details below 👇

Is this really saying that 3.5 sonnet 30min outperforms gemini 2.5 pro 45min on all RE-Bench categories?

In Dune, the Fremens learn an irregular, jagged way of walking on sand to avoid sandworms. Likewise with AGI: invest time in what's eccentric, weird, out of distribution, offline, unique to you, etc. Anything with an API is going to become automated sooner or later.

excellent
It began with virtual assistants. Then brain scanners. And then uploads. In our latest science fiction story, @RichardMCNgo navigates a world in which humans decouple themselves from their physical bodies, live simulated lives and, ultimately, discover the true nature of love.

Would also love to see more reporting on ARC-AGI-Pub from frontier labs. We have a fund set up to cross-validate as well: arcprize.org/leaderboard#arc…
Heads up, any company talking about a "reasoning breakthrough" that doesn't mention their @arcprize scores - does not have a reasoning breakthrough

Suffice to say that we did 14-hour days, coding through an apartment move, to finish an Alpha back in April, only to hit an immovable roadblock the day before we were meant to launch (2/3)

A highlight at the @SohnConf this week for me was one of the best investors I've met (@danielgross) interviewing one of the leading AI researchers (@EricSteinb) for 20 minutes. They discuss the path to AGI through first building AI software engineer bots and how there will be a step function change once an AI model becomes 99% reliable and intelligence is suddenly abundant for the first time. Recommend as a high signal guide to what's coming.

Geometry was known for its sparkling researchers; less known was the unique role of Arthaud. His capacity to form deep and thoughtful relationships with people across the technical spectrum was staggering to me. His next-hop destination is so lucky to have him. Good luck Arthaud!
