I think the only real answers involve large scale decoupling from the rapidly changing social norms. Can you cobble together a social group that will go Luddite with you? If not, can you join one?

It's cars and large houses peripherally connected to amenities by car-only infrastructure.

People love this lifestyle and will fight you very energetically if you try to do anything to nudge city layouts towards the previous level of walkability.

...we don't track this stuff nearly as well for pets as we do for humans but seems to have pretty robust evidence of toxicity.

cgadski: what did you use to make it?

She also knows how to open windows in a car and looks for the buttons before pressing them with her paw.

    for i in range(l):
            x = deltaA[:, :, i] \* x + deltaB_u[:, :, i]
            y = einsum(x, C[:, i, :], 'b d_in n , b n -> b d_in')
            ys.append(y)

It seems like this rewrite cleans up the meandering mess of Keras's middle period, or at least I'd be willing to give it a try.

You can do general purpose programming in all kinds of DSLs and Rust libraries that compiles down to big-but-practical arithmetic circuits and then generate proofs that y=f(x) without revealing x for arbitrary f. That really wasn't possible until a few years ago and emerged almost exclusively within the sphere of cryptocurrency-adjacent research. You can also use the succinctness of SNARKs to batch these proofs and shrink the verifier costs to almost nothing

It's a cool model for asymmetric computing, with low capacity verifiers collecting results from high capacity provers. It'll probably find uses outside deranged gambling...

It's so incredibly traceable these days and every iteration of Silk Road gets busted, no?

Newer techniques like Verkle trees, SNARKs, STARKs, &c are.... well, new.

I think it's important to give the cryptocurrency industry credit for the few corners in which it makes real (theory/tooling) contributions even if they're motivated by nonsense
