E Tree Path Algorithm

Algorithm 1 shows the high-level pseudocode for how we find the first step of mutations to transform tree A into tree B. We linearly walk down both trees until we find a node that is different. If the target node is small, i.e., its σ(z) ≤ σsmall, then we can simply mutate the source to the target. If the target node is larger, we sample a random small expression with the correct production rule, and compute the path from this small expression to the target. This gives us the first step to convert the source node to the target node. Repeatedly using Algorithm 1 gives us the full path to convert one expression to another. We note that this path is not necessarily the optimal path, but a valid path that is less noisy than the path we would get by simply chasing the last random mutation.

Superstate launches an on-chain direct issuance solution, enabling companies to raise funds in stablecoins to issue tokenized shares.

PANews reported on December 10th that Superstate, led by Compound founder Robert Leshner, announced the launch of "Direct Issuance Programs." This program allows publicly traded companies to raise funds directly from KYC-verified investors by issuing tokenized shares, with investors paying in stablecoins and settling instantly. The service will run on Ethereum and Solana, with the first offering expected to launch in 2026. The program requires no underwriters, complies with SEC regulations, and aims to promote the on-chaining of capital markets.

Trump to start final Fed chair interviews beginning with Kevin Warsh

Trump to start final Fed chair interviews beginning with Kevin Warsh

The post Trump to start final Fed chair interviews beginning with Kevin Warsh appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. President Donald Trump will begin the final interviews of candidates for the Federal Reserve chair this week, putting back on track the formal selection process that began this summer. “We’re going to be looking at a couple different people, but I have a pretty good idea of who I want,” Trump said Tuesday night aboard Air Force One to reporters. The interviews by Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will begin with former Fed governor Kevin Warsh on Wednesday and also include Kevin Hassett, the director of the National Economic Council, at some point, according to two sources. It restarts the process that was derailed a bit last week when interviews with candidates were abruptly canceled. Trump said recently he knew who he was going to pick to replace current Chair Jerome Powell, and prediction markets overwhelmingly believed it would be Hassett. But his possible selection received some pushback from the markets recently, especially among fixed income investors concerned Hassett would only do Trump’s bidding and keep rates too low even if inflation snaps back. So it’s unclear if these interviews are a sign Trump has changed his mind or just the final stage of the formal process. CNBC first reported in October that Trump had narrowed the candidate list down to five people. Four of those five will be part of these final interviews. The group also includes current Governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman as well as BlackRock fixed income chief Rick Rieder. The Fed will likely lower rates for a third time this year on Wednesday, but Powell, whose term as chair is up in May, is expected to strike a cautious tone at his post-meeting press conference on how much lower the central bank will go next year. The Fed’s latest forecast released in September called…
