Unless the attacker was actively choosing to exploit the 51% hashrate power they have then it would still make economic sense for remaining minority miners to keep mining.

Not quite. You can make selfish mining economically viable below 51%, which eats into the profitability of the majority, but it's not possible to sustain a long term censorship attack with that. With PoS protocols, >33% is usually

You are correct. It's expensive if you want to go rewrite history. 51% is when that becomes economically viable to do on its own.

It's the same failure mode as a Sybil attack, but it's called a 51% when there's the additional assumption of the hashrate being hard to obtain and evenly-enough distributed to mitigate sybiling, and that assumption is being

All DC statehood proposals cut out the capitol complexes from the territory that would turn into a state. The seat of power would remain not in a state.

The crime rates in DC have been dramatically falling over the last couple years, just as they have been falling across most cities in the country for the last couple decades.

If it works and isn't broke then why swap or discard it?

This is strictly true but not correct. LLMs were trained on human-written text, but they were post-trained to generate text in a particular style. And that style does have some common patterns.

We can use older processes if we have to. We'd be taking a step back of... maybe 5-10 years? Computers 10 years ago were not that much slower than they are today. Volume would be a bigger concern than performance. Maybe it'd

The point that you're (and everyone is) glossing over here is relative positions on the skill gradient. A first grader probably would be prohibited from using any kind of calculator on arithmetic tests, 4-fn or not. But 8th graders ar

You already can use LLM engines that force generation according to an arbitrary CFG definition. I am not aware of any systems that apply that to generating actual programming language code.

The polar ice caps are the same way. Once we melt all the ice then the sea level rise will stop, and we can just deal with the change in lifestyle.

And nonetheless it's an important voice to have since it will leave a void in the media landscape to be filled by opportunists.

0 vs 1 indexing has an actual semantic difference that you have to keep in your head at ~all times, but could have a text editor plugin that rewrites func<->fn since it's purely syntactical. What is inconvenient about it?

by treyd 1y ago
What's wrong with fn? It's perfectly understandable. I don't understand what the bikeshedding about keywords like this is about.

I think that the "package explosion problem" actually does exist in C/C++ and Go but it's just hidden. Very often a project takes the form of various components, and you only depend on a subset of them. In these older-

You might be thinking of Euclid's axioms, which defines points, lines, planes, etc, and that lines can be parallel. This is an interesting one because the system is violated if your space is not flat, like if you're on a sphere.

I find this an interesting argument. I wonder if it's a generational thing. If we define immersion as "your vision focuses on what's inside the screen and you ignore the world around the screen, and you mostly ignore that yo

But this isn't unique or new with Tailwind. SCSS and that family of tools had this 10 years ago.

It's high up in the atmosphere and has relatively few nearby point sources like cities since it's in the middle of the Pacific ocean. It's a unique environment that provides a valuable data point.

I don't care what anyone says about Cursor's workflow, I will never install anything based on VS Code, it's just a nonstarter. That's enough for me.
