At age 25, I would've thought that I was better suited for the job than a 35 year old. At age 32, I'm quite sure I'd be better suited at 35 than I am now.

Can someone explain why the move to PoS isn't going to reduce transaction time, increase network capacity, and reduce gas prices? Is this because of arbitrary parameters in place in order to keep that true? From a technical perspective

Presumably need to look at code, build code, and compare binaries.

The state doesn't need to do anything at all. If people are drinking themselves to death, that is within their rights. I'm pretty concerned with how utilitarian and authoritarian our populations are getting. The state should be th

I do all of my best thinking in the shower. If I'm in an office, and encounter a hard problem, I immediately resent not being able to get in the shower to think about it. I get anxiety about jumping into a solution that hasn't bee

What nutritional benefits do raw onions have over cooked ones? I've recently been adding onions to everything, but always cooked. Is it just more of the same nutrients per volume raw?

This is a fascinating idea. Have StableDiffusion generate an image from the image you'd like to "compress" + a random seed. Feed that output to an adversarial network that compares source image to output and scores it. Try ag

Thank you very much. I will do a full review of my warnings and the rules. I'm a huge fan of this forum, and would hate to lose access to one of the only outlets left where people seem to be willing to think out loud. I think the level

There are a fair few questions for which direction is more important than magnitude. That being said, I'll take both if possible.

First of all, your comments have all felt righteous and sanctimonious to me, so I find it weird that this is the angle you've decided to take with me...to accuse my motive. You are the one who is condescendingly telling me that I nee
