zkCoins: A payment system with strong privacy and scalability, combining a client-side validation protocol with validity proofs

zkCoins

Edit: here you can find our research paper describing the protocol more in-depth.

zkCoins is a novel blockchain design with strong privacy and scalability properties. It combines client-side validation with a zero-knowledge proof system. The chain is reduced to a minimum base layer to prevent double spending. Most of the verification complexity is moved off-chain and communicated directly between the individual sender and recipient of a transaction. There are very few global consensus rules, which makes block validation simple. Not even a global UTXO set is required.

In contrast to zk-rollups there is no data availability problem, and no sequencer is required to coordinate a global proof aggregation. The protocol can be implemented as an additional layer contained in Bitcoin's blockchain (similar to RGB[^5] or Taro[^6]) or as a standalone sidechain.

The throughput scales to hundreds of transactions per

Theo's preferred way of handling try/catch in TypeScript
// Types for the result object with discriminated union
type Success<T> = {
data: T;
error: null;
};
type Failure<E> = {
data: null;
error: E;
};

Learning LLMs in 2025

So you know how the transformer works, and you know basic ML/DL, and you want to learn more about LLMs. One way to go is looking into the various "algorithmic" stuff (optimization algorithms, RL, DPO, etc). Lot's of materials on that. But the interesting stuff is (in my opinion at least) not there.

This is an attempt to collect a list of academic (or academic-like) materials that explore LLMs from other directions, and focus on the non-ML-algorithmic aspects.

Courses

  • David Chiang's Theory of Neural Networks course.
  • This is not primarily LLMs, but does have substantial section on Transformers. Formal/Theory. More of a book than a course.

NASなどのARM LinuxでCIFSマウントする方法
マウント用コマンドのインストール。
# apt-get install cifs-utils
これでmount.cifsが入ったはず。確認する。
# which mount.cifs
/sbin/mount.cifs
OK。
マウントしてみる。
# mount -t cifs -o username=hoge,password=hoge //server/share /mnt/windows

Hide VM status in guest OS (VMWare)

Hide VM Identification in VMWare (Stealthy)

Tested using WorkStation Pro 16.x, Windows host and guest in UEFI mode, using an Intel CPU.

  1. Create a Windows 10 VM.
  2. Edit VM settings Processor section. Enable (tick) these:
    • Virtualize Intel VT-x/AMD-V
    • Virtualize CPU Performance Counters
    • Virtualize IOMMU
  3. Install Windows 10 in VM.
