What would that achieve? If you're late to the blockchain (or really any other distribution channel, like https://truetimestamp.org/ or something like this) your timestamp is greater than original and you own nothing.

Well, physical art reproductions are high quality already (I have some Van Gogh canvas prints I bought for like 50$ a piece on my walls). So you can't really say traditional art images are scarce too. The thing is whoever is owns the o

I still don't get why this is a scam, there is a SHA-256 hash of the whole image in that token, complete with timestamp and a buyer signature - the buyer can certainly prove he was first (or Nth) to buy this exact thing anytime he want

You bootstrap the pos chain onto the pow one, so you have your trivially checkable first part. After that it.s not exactly trivial to fake the whole chain without holding validators private keys (remember, they had stake in pow chain). Im k

It's just natural, that people are salty about proof-of-work that leads to computation devices scarcity. No one asked for this and it's really scary - society can economically decide, that distributed ledger protection is more imp

Good read. Is there a similar take on how proof-of-stake can work (for example current sketch of Ethereum Casper protocol)?

As a programmer I usually try to implement some of the algorithms in language of my choice and throw them at some toy problems (it's good there is no shortage of interesting toy problems in this field). It was really fun with Artificia

A great question! I’m still wondering why we all mostly use separate tools for tickets and version control (and knowledge base, and collaboration, and management/hiring, the list goes on), given we already know a lot about software dev

Don't know about other countries, but in Russia we say sorry all the time flashing hazard lights briefly. Pretty much every driver on the road knows that.

This is why I never ever use size_t over int. I’m a newbie C++ programmer tho, wrote less than 10kloc of C++ code, but my both feet are bleeding cause of exactly this.

Many years of "human optimization" on the same old datasets must lead to severe overfitting, so these results should be taken with a grain of salt. Related research: https://arxiv.org/abs/1806.00451

The argument is still false. You can very well get an advantage from vast amounts of data in similar domains. And more importantly you can have ML insights not possible without it. What if ImageNet was not open to the public? Would we get a

What these guys doing is amazing. RL algos are so hard to get right and evaluate - they can be very unstable and depend on subtle details. I've tried it myself (DQN and my version of actor critic) on simple tasks and still don't k

The idea that we may be living in a virtual reality someone created is a disturbing one. It doesn't matter if objects around us are fundamentally real or simulated - that's true. What matters is our minds may be simulated too. Wha
