Never heard of it.
From Wikipedia:
So, it's not really a typical journal in the sense of publishing original research. I checked my email records, they never asked me to referee for them. 1.022 is not really a high impact factor in physics.
But from a quick glance, it seems to be a legit journal. It's just not the typical journal.
Seems to be the perfect journal for this paper by Mr Martin... I do like this kind of paper off the beaten track.
Do you have a plan? Following a schedule made all the difference for my first races. Freestyling it before that was painful.
Great extract. Hope to get back to this with a bit more time to read the whole piece.
I haven't read Scott in a while, thanks for sharing him here...
I guess?
Reality has kinda become a stream of random pieces of news that make me feel like they matter, but a day after, it already feels so far away. I observed the same thing with the martial law news here. He's in prison now. Yet, nothing really mattered in the end, at least for the impact it has on my daily life.
Maybe that's just a symptom of getting older and more cynical?
People you dislike often represent a characteristic about yourself that you don't like. I think it's called
projection. It's easier to see these characteristics in others than in yourself.Accept that fact so (i) you have no reason to waste mental space disliking that person and (ii) you use it as a learning experience on how to better yourself.
I got an email to confirm my payments for
Mining Party 10 TH/s @ 14 days - lot 030
Mining Party 10 TH/s @ 14 days - lot 034
I also paid for lots 031 and 032, but did not get the payment confirmation emails for those ones. Can you confirm they are accounted for?
much hegemony
Yeah, that wasn't really justified. I forgot that Facebook's model is open-source (up to a point).
I've played a bit with it too. The DeepThink looks cool. It was pretty interesting to see it write: "but wait..." and each time go off on a tangent. It didn't improve much the quality of its response without DeepThink, but all in all, was a better experience than the completely free ChatGPT model. And the question I asked would have required really advanced reasoning to give a good answer.
Will try to use it as my default this week and see how it compares in terms of coding productivity.
Can someone ELI5 me the tradeoff related to client-side validation with local history versus global history on the main chain? I know it was a point of contention between the believers of RGB and its detractors, but I haven't followed much in recent years.
Cool! I got a GitHub and a Mastodon link.
Now do it with a lightning invoice encoding different amounts~~
Yeah, this is the eternal struggle between the interests of the employer and the employee. Thanks for sharing your hands-on experience. I recently applied for a job in Spain and I feel your pain in terms of the paperwork required to get everything in order in time.
I agree it attracts gamblers. My bets are coming from my gambling budget. I would never touch my cold sats for this. I'd argue that maybe bitcoin only prediction markets are less likely to succeed as there are more degen gamblers in the shitcoin world. But then we have ordinals, so maybe that's a wrong assumption.
I also agree with the fact i prefer short term markets. I don't like too much to lock away too many sats for the whole of 2025 for instance before a market resolves. Even if i can close my position before resolution. But i have some long term ones, so it really depends on the market.
I think the zero sum argument is only valid for completely efficient markets with high liquidity. I am particularly drawn to the markets where i can tilt the odds myself and benefit from some mispriced odds.
So i guess maybe as a real tool to predict the future, they are not as great as initially hoped or expected. But there is definitely a market for it. And some markets have been pretty good at predicting election outcomes, no? Even when traditional tools failed to predict the outcomes.
Instead, we must recognize that good information about the future is costly to come by, and we must be willing to purchase or create incentives to elicit that information. There is no epistemic free lunch.
Agree on this.
What say you, @mega_dreamer?
Yeah, I was definitely not thinking about it being useful for the individual. But if 1000s of people consider this lottery mining as something they are willing to pay for (without likely profits), as an aggregate, you start forming the equivalent of a small pool of "idealistic" miners, who likely will have less pressure to censor.
On second reading, I guess that's what you referred to as "widespread adoption of "byproduct hashpower".
But it seems likely that pure, for-profit mining will always be the dominant portion of hash power.
I agree.
Indeed.
I felt for him though as he recently had to sell part of his stack due to his partner incurring big losses due to leveraged trading.
I wonder if there is any argument to be made for a future where solominers play a role again. I guess their aggregate hash power doesn't even show in the chart above?
Got it. I'll research it a bit more. Feels like I'm just theorizing without much fundamental knowledge.
A final question, are there metrics that take into account intangible benefits such as healthcare, pension, etc that may partially compensate for the lower incomes (and/or higher taxation reducing net income) in Europe when compared to the US?
Putting aside again personal beliefs in terms of the morality of taxation, efficient use of resources, etc. And the likely lack of sustainability of the social system the way it has existed in Europe for decades.
