I don't think there's anything miners really have to do differently because of this. The only big thing would be to make sure to upgrade your software to the version that has the code for the hard fork (though at this point the ha

Indeed, this is true. I was also assuming you would be buying the ETH from other stakers (if not, you would need $8B in ETH at spot price) and that you as an attacker have the ability to make the network desynchronous (if not, you would act

You don't usually use other people's chargers to charge your phone. Compatibility between EV chargers would be very useful though: I've had the experience of having to carefully plan a Tesla road trip from the Bay Area to LA

The link to Scott Aaronson’s “Is P vs NP Formally independent” actually points to his broader survey of P vs NP. Here is a link to the one about independence http://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~fortnow/beatcs/column81.p

One thing this reminds me of is the use of "Compute the nth Fibonacci number" as an interview question. The interviewer may expect you to show off your knowledge of dynamic programming by memoizing the function. But you take a ris

Presumably they are referring to the OpenAI co-founder Wojciech Zaremba mentioned in the first few sentences of the article. It seems madisonmay didn't read the article either, or they would have known that the podcast they were referr

This explains why later in the article it says the mine could produce 40% of the world’s lithium.

The title is clickbait. It makes it sound like someone hiking in a ravine just happened to stumble upon these paintings. In actuality, the guy just felt guilty, so he confessed and gave them back. The subtitle says it all: > Ending a lon

Well let's say we do things this way, and I double spend a transaction, sending one to Alice and one to Bob. Suppose Alice waits t seconds after receiving the transaction, and if she doesn't see any double spends in that time, she

Well I guess it depends on the current price of gas. I was playing around with ENS on Ropsten and I estimated it takes about 1/2 a million gas to buy an ENS domain. At current gas prices that's ~$30USD, but this time last year it

This actually surprising and doesn't make a lot of sense to me. If the oracle is just an AMM, then presumably one could get the oracle to register a nonzero value by just putting a small amount of money in the contract. As long as ther

As a PhD student who sort of burned out on this type of research, I agree that the complexity of Neural Networks as a mathematical construct makes them very difficult to analyze. This might also have to do with Deep learning theory being a

Bridge is a game where you sit directly across from your partner, but the rules say you are not allowed to communicate with them. There are probably hundreds of things one could do (gestures, coughs) to signal. Good on the bridge community

What a cool fact. The first thing that jumps into my mind for solving this would be the Schur Complement [1], which gives a way of computing the determinant of a block matrix in terms of its components. This would give us a formula where we

It seems the issue was in how OpenEthereum handled access lists introduced by EIP2929/2930. They were adding built-in contract addresses to access lists in blocks before those addresses were activated.
