Reduce what you are trying to build as much as possible. Then reduce how much code you use to build it. Build something you can use as soon as you can. If you're writing a ton of code before this thing is getting used then how do you k

It sounds like you're doing the normal sort of things that systems people do to get started. The fact that you have lots of ideas to jump off of is very good. In general just follow all of your ideas down as far as you can to the base

I don't think you asked AI to try to find issues with your argument. I asked Claude and it gave me three reasons that this is not a proof. If you are going to use AI like this at least check your own work. The great thing about LLMs is

Sounds like a pretty fun project to build. And bootstrapping it is nice. Hope my feedback doesn't come across as too harsh: Not open sourcing code or fundamentals of the design is a non starter for anyone wanting to get involved. Are

The obvious answers for big charismatic discoveries are Higgs Boson detection, gravity wave detection and CRISPR CAS. I'd love to hear about less widely known ones.

No but that fact that kids seem to like it and people here hate it so much makes me think that it is a legitimately novel thing in the world. I would like to try it out but I bet it will be hard to get a satisfying feel for it since I'

It is in principle a good idea. There are plenty of ongoing attempts to do something similar but less cool than this with GPU networks like render etc. From what I've heard they all suck at AI workloads so far. For years I've h

It's only a matter of time until we get a railroad track laying network secured by proof of railroad track (PoRT) and recreate the panic of 1873.

On top of all the great advice here make sure you do as many high quality problems as you can. Some easy ones to build your confidence, a majority that are tough but doable and then occasionally try things beyond your current abilities. If

It's hard to say as it depends a lot on the particular attack, who discovers it, who it is used against etc. A broad attack on EC DLOG or on the secpk curve would hopefully be preceded by academic community incrementally making it weak

This is a good point. I think this is probably the weakest link in bitcoin's security. If you're paranoid I think you can setup PayToScriptHash to take lamport signature instead. But with everyone else rekt the system would be in

For me golang vibes are better. Go is a little too verbose but in a stupid way. Rust is too verbose in a clever way. Go is so dumb it is mind numbingly boring. Rust is so clever it becomes boring to learn. You can use go in about 1 way th
