It's a fundamental part of the blockchain. In PoW you have to constantly run a mining program on your computer. In PoS you designate an amount to stake (by smart contract, if I'm not mistaken) and that's it. How would the ethereum devs (or whoever else) run PoW without telling anyone? Who would pay the electricity bills?

People should be skeptical, but within reason. No investigation, no right to speak and all that.

It's capitalist apologia when I correct you on something? Give me a break.

I stand by my original tone, I stated that you have no idea what you're talking about, which is true, without attacking you with names, expletives etc.

I think it’s super dangerous to take the developers’ word on their product. Probably it’s literally POS, but I’m not gonna believe all the hype without a disinterested confirmation.

If you believe a coin on the scale of Ethereum can lie about whether it's proof of stake or work, you have no idea what you're talking about.

Americans seemingly can't grasp war as something more than k/d stats. You see it a lot in discussions about Ukraine, too; lots of them devolve to "but 1 gajillion russian casualties/destroyed materiel"

The math involved in LLMs is not complex for anyone that has passed undergrad Calc and Linear Algebra classes. If you know derivatives, the chain rule and some matrix basics you can figure them out with enough studying.

The hard part about LLMs is not the math but the neural net architecture innovations they brought (eg self-attention)

Does it really matter if the delivery system is inferior? Google says they have five thousand warheads. Even if 4900 get intercepted (98% success rate), 100 nukes will connect.

Also, besides the launch silos, there's the bombers and the nuclear subs, which are enough to end the world by themselves

So you're a communist that denounces every communist project atop an ivory tower, instead of understanding the realities of actually building a socialist society (no magical button that will make us overcome hierarchies overnight, I'm afraid). Sounds like you're just larping about being a communist

I get were you're coming from, but on the other hand most women put no effort to their profiles whatsoever. In my experience with Tinder 90-95% of profiles don't even have a bio, so how am I supposed to filter people based on some pictures and three tagged hobbies (which are usually bland like movies, travel, nights out)?

myth that any fat person could simply choose to become thin

I agree that not every fat person can do this (lots of health reasons that can make you gain weight) but most fat people can absolutely become thinner.

How did you meet your partners? (both in your 20s and 30s)

Are you implying that you don't remember that experience, or that salvia caused you memory issues?

Yeah, one exists nationwide (credit score) and the other was some proposed municipality plan that didn't go anywhere
