Oh that sounds like an amazing application for zkTLS! I don't think I can help with this though, I only have very basic hobbyist reverse engineering skills. But good luck!

I was curious because I remembered an old video I had watched back when learning the basics of iOS reverse engineering in the first place. Found it! I remember I even bought an old (semi-broken) second iPhone to jailbreak and be able to run a debug server on. Fun memories! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_i_v6pWqDQQ

Ha, yes I came across his channel via the clock animation video as well! But I think his app reverse engineering videos are particularly great. Might just be my bias though, I think reverse engineering is a super super fun topic in general, and he is both competent and good at explaining!

Fun video with a practical example of iOS app reverse engineering. I spent a week once a few years ago reverse engineering the private API signing logic of an app I was using that didn't (still doesn't) have a public API. Have been using their private API ever since! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YW3jL2gI9IE

At least I like to think that I "literally work" there, sometimes my colleagues say otherwise :-)

We have these EF research AMAs twice a year, I think they are usually very high signal, would recommend stopping by!

Agree! It's funny how this is true again now - I had such a hard time deciding which of the two to go into in 2016. Did some AI, but realized I was more passionate about crypto. No regrets! I will say though - I am not sold on the idea that the overlap between the two will be particularly meaningful in the near term.

I'd highly recommend participating in the election prediction markets! They are a very interesting new addition to our sense making toolkit, and the best way to build intuition around them is by having skin in the game.

538 quality has pretty clearly cratered after Nate Silver's departure. He had a good in-depth article about it a few months ago: https://www.natesilver.net/p/why-i-dont-buy-538s-new-election

Many things to legitimately criticize Donald Trump for, but the Harris campaign tweeting out a video of him marveling at the SpaceX rocket booster catch - one of the most impressive feats of engineering in recent history - as if that somehow deserved ridicule is sad. https://x.com/KamalaHQ/status/1848878029193560424

Latest Elon video game video accidentally includes the audio recording of a SpaceX starship flight 5 review call (the one where they caught the booster) he was on while playing. Super interesting to get a glimpse of the SpaceX internal operations! https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1849914261482652113

Oh I don't (necessarily) believe she will win! Just that as of this very moment, her odds are better than 35% to do so. I similarly had a pretty large Trump position when his odds were at 45% a few weeks ago, because that seemed clearly undervalued. Then I exited that position (at a profit) as the odds swung.

Polymarket Trump odds do seem a bit high. I just bought additional $1000 worth of Kamala shares at 35.4%. Seems +EV. Although of course chances are the market indeed knows better than me.

Gm Starbase! Today is going to be my first ever time watching a rocket launch in-person - looks like I picked a good one! https://x.com/spacex/status/1845424870655398102

But it also means our messaging is caught somewhere in between. "Best of both worlds", while I deeply believe is actually true, doesn’t seem to be a clear enough message.

Right, must have been some sort of block. I was just confused when the ping didn't just fail, but returned from a different address. Never seen that before.
