Haven't posted here in a while but figured I'd write a post to see if I should come back 😅 First longer form thing would be about an AI theory paper that I worked on that was inspired by crypto

Maybe the most interesting DeFi research in recent years

Everyone on the X is too distracted with immigration, so I’m giving a sneak peek of some research here Decentralized Perpetuals have long been the dream but they’ve been too capital inefficient Many advances pushed DEX-CEX market share to >6% — but how are how are they related? We answer this!

Watching a talk by Yinyu Ye at WINE and being convinced Shampoo and all of these fancy preconditioning methods that are shilled on X are really just “gradient descent to approximate a sequence of online LPs”

Quote from WINE 2024: “Ethereum is less decentralized than Cardano due to pooling [LSTs] but restaking might fix this” lol? Their argument was based on a Shapley Value construction which seems likely to differ from proportional rules a lot

There is no inherent reason in DeSci not to spam marginal or even fake results (think: bioarXiv Covid slop data science around March 2020) in order to get rewards as opposed to making multi year bets that improve knowledge Perpetuals traders telling you otherwise are purely self motivated

Tarun Chitra @pinged.bsky.social · 24/11/2024

Bluesky is a safe space for me to say that DeSci is mainly a scam, don’t get caught by influenzas who are pumping a coin yet can’t tell you what an orbital is

Rejoining Bluesky after a year off and my day 1 observation is: - Math, Econ, Physics people have moved here en masse - CS, AI, crypto, finance people have not

In spite of the constant “Bluesky has immaculate vibes” chatter I hear from people, I have to say that the intellectual convos aren’t that great; there seems to be a lot of naval gazing and no “Crihan posts theorems” 😂

I have a sinking feeling people are going to find out what “open protocol” means sooner than they’d like and it might not fare well for everyone

Despite learning of the amazing finite field Kakeya conjecture of Dvir, I never really understood why it mattered in randomness extraction. It turns out that the succinctness of ZKPs generated via MIP (and MIP = NEXP) rely on it via the point-line test of low degree polynomials

Given that I have no followers here, I’ll mainly drop alpha on things I’m working on; hoping to get out a post on the difference in types of knowledge in ZKPs and LLMs this week
