Due diligence: boring stuff that when you skip it with catch up with you fast.
“Builder . ai’s platform relied on around 700 engineers based in India who manually wrote code based on customer requests. Despite the company marketing it as AI-generated, most of the work was done by humans behind the scenes.”

Becoming Immutable: How Ethereum is Made
We analyze blocks proposed for inclusion in the Ethereum blockchain during 8 minutes on December 3rd, 2024. Our dataset comprises 38 winning blocks, 15,097 proposed blocks, 10,793 unique transactions, and 2,380,014 transaction-block pairings. We find that exclusive transactions--transactions present only in blocks proposed by a single builder--account for 85% of the fees paid by all transactions included in winning blocks. We also find that a surprisingly large number of user transactions are d…

SoK: Current State of Ethereum's Enshrined Proposer Builder Separation
Initially introduced to Ethereum via Flashbots' MEV-boost, Proposer-Builder Separation allows proposers to auction off blockspace to a market of transaction orderers, known as builders. PBS is currently available to validators through the aforementioned MEV-boost, but its unregulated and relay-dependent nature has much of the Ethereum community calling for its enshrinement. Providing a protocol-integrated PBS marketspace and communication channel for payload outsourcing is termed PBS enshrineme…

I was wrong about Freese. He was outstanding in PKs, and seemingly was enjoying them!?! Got to be a little crazy to be a goalkeeper and he was the lunatic we needed. PKs are all about pressure and he didn’t seem to feel ~any~.
Might be his moment to fully claim the position? Definitely a confidence builder going forward.

Particle Builder -- Learn about the Standard Model while playing against an AI
Particle Builder Online is a web-based education game designed for high school physics students. Students can play against an AI opponent or peers to familiarise themselves with the Standard Model of Particle Physics. The game is aimed at a high school level and tailored to the International Baccalaureate and the Australian Curriculum. Students from four schools in Canberra took pre/post-tests and a survey while completing a lesson where they played Particle Builder. Students' understanding of …

Qymera: Simulating Quantum Circuits using RDBMS
Quantum circuit simulation is crucial for quantum computing such as validating quantum algorithms. We present Qymera, a system that repurposes relational database management systems (RDBMSs) for simulation by translating circuits into SQL queries, allowing quantum operations to run natively within an RDBMS. Qymera supports a wide range of quantum circuits, offering a graphical circuit builder and code-based interfaces to input circuits. With a benchmarking framework, Qymera facilitates comparis…

Towards AI-assisted Neutrino Flavor Theory Design
Particle physics theories, such as those which explain neutrino flavor mixing, arise from a vast landscape of model-building possibilities. A model's construction typically relies on the intuition of theorists. It also requires considerable effort to identify appropriate symmetry groups, assign field representations, and extract predictions for comparison with experimental data. We develop an Autonomous Model Builder (AMBer), a framework in which a reinforcement learning agent interacts with a …
