Maybe I'm missing something but is it a problem if SHIB is 20% of their reserves if 20% of what users are keeping on the exchange is SHIB? Of course we don't want what people actually deposited since it's a centralized exchan

This. I wonder how this site can get it so wrong and I hope this wrong interpretation doesn't spread. As a native German speaker, "Eierlegende Wollmilchsau" has a clear negative connotation, not a positive one, and means feat

I'm curious what happens if you look at your returns and other metrics at different time scales, i.e. monthly and weekly, in addition to yearly. You can't make any argument based on a sample size of 2. As someone who used to work

Many smart people are drawn to solving intellectually challenging problems. That's why many end up in academia doing research even though the research may never be useful in the real world. There are many challenging cryptographic, gam

I'm really sad our culture is encouraging this. I know this is an unpopular opinion and may be seen as gatekeeping by some, but I believe that these "learn X in Y weeks" for deeply technical topics (it's totally fine for

That's how you end up with Google, Apple, and Facebook, Twitter, etc. They may start out as providing a service that works, but over time as they get bigger the incentive structure pushes them towards monetizing your data, locking you

I would imagine it's because they want to avoid people building bots and creating businesses around accounts creation and selling. Once you have such a secondary market you get a cheap supply of accounts due to outsourced labor or bots

The model is extremely standard in mobile games, especially in Asia, where it has been the norm for almost a decade in gacha games, and where people are used to paying and gambling. They all have the same mechanics, or variations of them, D

Add to that lotteries, or pretty much anything that has random outcomes. Even if you don't gamble with cash, but something like Pokemon cards or digital items, there will always be secondary markets that let you cash out. If you want t

I don't think you can compare these mechanics to heroin, which is physically addictive. A fairer comparison is social media and timelines/newsfeeds, which use very similar mechanics, including randomness, to give people their dopa

I regularly play games with gambling (gacha) mechanics and I love them. The short bursts of fun are exactly what I'm looking for in my current busy life. I have nothing against this model of monetization. Gambling is fun. Casinos are f

IMO the best intro book is Sutton's [1], it's extremely accessible (little math background needed) and covers all basic concepts. Work through David Silver's course (search youtube, it overlaps heavily with the book above) an

This looks nicely done, but for anyone interested I'd like to mention that these courses aren't something that can replace learning the fundamental concepts and theories behind ML/RL, for which there exist excellent books and

Opposite experience for me. I barely know anyone who uses FB marketplace, FB groups, or messenger. The only use case for Messenger is keeping in touch with "old people" who used it with me 10-15 years ago. That's like 2-3 peo

The last point is important. In my experience it's mostly about status. RSEs are always seen as inferior to researchers (research scientists) who supposedly come up with the "big ideas" while RSEs merely implement the stuff t

Agreed. In the special case of currencies, demand follows belief. If people believe in an assert they will accept it for trade, which may in turn crate demand. This leads to a cycle where more demand often strengthens the belief. The issue

I didn't dismiss the idea of learning from online resources. I constantly work through online courses/lectures and books. I only noted that the experience is inferior to going to college where you can completely focus on learning

Thanks. I know that all the raw material is available to me, but it's just not the same. It's different when you can completely focus on studying, be part of a community with a bit of peer pressure, and have a social circle that g

I agree with the terrible UI/UX, but I never noticed the degradation of usefulness. I think it highly depends on what subreddits you are active in.

Not for super early stage. Crypto projects cash out after a few months or so. That's pre-seed/seed startups.
