In order to compute these trees we run an O(n) algorithm over the n leaves. This reduces the work at the next step to O(n/2) then O(n/4) and so on.

"How + why we rewrote Circom in Rust 🦀 Jolt uses R1CS to constrain a subset of the VM's functionality to ensure that the virtual CPU's fetch-decode-execute loop is constrained to the RISC-V spec. For example we must ensure the 32-bit ELF row decodes correctly. Each 32-bit RV32I R-type instruction decodes to a tuple (rd opcode rs1 rs2). Jolt uses the unpacked versions of each of these in other constraints so we'll need to constrain instruction = rd opcode rs1 rs2 In total we have around [--] individual constraints of similar format. Constraints are expressed as a combination of degree-1"

Expecting they'll color in the details. Claude mirrors your energy. Low agency prompting gets low agency results. You need to raise your expectations. High agency prompting "Find every competitor in this space score them by market position and build"
