Genuinely I have no theory of mind for why the nepo baby daughter of a hated hundred-billionaire who lobbied all his life for open borders and offshoring and every other possible policy that could destroy the careers of promising young American men would use daddy’s money to get herself a public-facing job at the WSJ just to make breathless videos like this pretending not to understand why, after being discriminated against all their lives and forced to compete with every foreigner on Earth to own even an inch of the American soil that is their birthright, an increasing number of young American men would rather burn the entire system to the ground than contribute to a society that proclaims they themselves and their ancestors to be the source of all worldly evil and has dedicated itself to their destruction.
That being said: Young men, do not drop out. Do not give up hope. The only way out is through.
Why are young men ditching the workforce—and is there any way to bring them back into it? @WSJFreeEx:

Gemma 4 (31B, Dense), a model that performs on parity w/ Kimi K2.5 (1.1T, MoE)
> 35x SMALLER than Kimi K2.5
Would run on any hardware at home
- RTX 3090 / 4090 / 5090 *
- DGX Spark / Mac Studios
- MacBook Pro (24GB+)
New local SoTA
* Best perf. is when ran on GPUs

alright, after a week of work you can now fully simulate Safe transactions _locally_ before signing and verify the transaction hashes in parallel using my `safe-tx-hashes-util` with a single command (use the `--simulate flag` simply). This lets you check exactly how the transaction will execute before you sign. Everything is local. Everything what is executed is printed in the terminal. Transparency at all cost. You trust your RPC provider here so use a trusted endpoint or the preferred solution of running your own node. I know many still do not believe me but local-first, cli-based verification is the way to go. Not hosted UIs. My verification script is _one_ fucking Bash file. Everyone can audit it by looking at exactly one file. No dependency bloat.

Forkast is such a helpful one stop resource to keep up with Ethereum core development (thanks @TMIYChao for showing it to me in Cannes)
Tell me one other Blockchain where this kind of stuff exists, I'll wait
My gut feeling reasoning behind my personal ranking
EIP-7805: Fork-Choice Inclusion Lists -> simpler short term solution than ePBS to provide censhorship resistance. Preserving Ethereum's neutrality and censorship resistance is one of the core reasons Ethereum is different to any other imo infra and therefore is a top priority imo
EIP-7782: Reduce Block Latency -> UX improvement are massive and I personally love AMMs. Loss versus rebalancing would be significantly reduced for LPs..
EIP-7886: Delayed Execution -> By decoupling block validation from immediate execution we essentially make shorter block times feasible so reasoning is same here then for EIP-7805
EIP-7928: Block-level Access Lists -> Paves the way for parallel execution which reduces maximum block processing time thereby supporting reduction of block times (so again similar reasoning here)
EIP-7919: Pureth - Provable RPC Responses -> important because it ensure verifiability which is critical given that the goal of everyone running light clients on their phone is far away
EIP-7692: EVM Object Format (EOFv1) -> beneficial, but the complexity and recent controversies around it place it as less urgent than other proposals imo
EIP-7732: enshrined Proposer-Builder Separation (ePBS) -> with FOCIL being a reality less urgent imo for CR but still important to get rid of relays medium term
EIP-7937: 64-bit Mode Opcodes for EVM -> cool to scale computationally heavy apps on L1 i guess but don't see a huge direct practical impact for users
Thanks @wolovim and @nixorokish for creating Forkast, really helpful for people like me who don't have time to keep up with everything and find everything in one place (will use this a lot to do EIP videos🙏)

🧑🍳Exciting Tevm upgrades are cooking
Tevm EVM, a Blazingly fast Zig EVM is alive processing all core opcodes
Tevm EVM is fully MIT licensed but not ready for production yet
This EVM has three major goals:
1. Best in class performance
2. Smallest bundle size
3. Feature complete and easy to maintain
The zig programming language has been an amazing tool for all 3 goals.
0 hidden control flow and allocations make optimizing perf very easy
My experimentation has been showing zig to be significantly better than rust and golang at building tiny wasm bundles. Huge for JS applications. To optimize for both perf and size we have architected tevm to allow the compiler to optimize more for perf inlining a lot of functions or more for size too
Writing and modifying this zig code has been an amazing experience. I feel nearly as productive in zig as I do golang and JavaScript. It's a fun enjoyable language to read and write
Next up:
1. Perf benchmarking vs Revm and Geth
2. Precompile, 4844 support, and other odds and ends
3. Upgrade Tevm from JS to wasm
If you are interested in contributing please reach out I would love t
