Thought I shared at dinner: current magical/demonic vibe of zk proof subculture is like Lovecraftian horror of general relativity in the 1920s, when lines like “obtuse angles that looked acute” actually scared people. The magic vibe will dissipate and this will be boring in 30y.

gm Late start today since I was getting my newsletter out. Indirectly inspired by the dinner gathering last night. Now to shower and once more unto the breach for the final day.

Taking a lazy day. Hung out, chatted with some folks, got lunch with other folks, now nap time till another chat at 4 and maybe a bit of the closing ceremonies.

Guy from EFF, Kurt Osphal, doing a thing on civil liberties. I guess the closing ceremonies won’t be just song and dance.

Moar dancing. I think the ones in white are the kids from the opening ceremony. Anyhow I guess that’s it for Devcon. Got a dinner to go to and I head back tomorrow. Then I think I have several weekends of homework to do to actually grok wtf this was all about.

DevCon adventure wraps with a chill Japanese dinner with EF gang. Unless something crypto-ey happens on the way to the airport tomorrow morning, this live thread is a wrap. I think I’ll write a proper reflections post, and if I do I’ll link it here. But for now, gn.

Uneventful ride to airport with no crypto elements (did have an expired credit card moment in Uber app though). Now hanging out at Juan Valdez cafe with my cafe con leche. Flight isn’t for 3h but there was not enough time to do any interesting tourism. El Dorado airport v. nice.
