That is a very, very good point. I have no counter arguments. Thanks for sharing!

Truth is I don't have time to dig in this right now. I thought if the idea was good maybe I could motivate somebody else. I just hope we can get rid of PoW the way it is soon.

Hell yeah, why do you think I'm getting married? :P As long as there is mutual support, I'd not worry. I'd be proud to be supported by my future wife.

For proof of work to be fair, you need a robust & secure job that produces results with a uniform distribution of zeros and ones. FHE gives you that, while performing useful comput…

Hi there, I had an interesting idea on how to perform useful compute with proof of work. We could wrap a problem using Homomorphic Encryption techniques. Each node gets a different…

> Hey @VitalikButerin, instead of doing proof of work with useless puzzles, why don't we use that massive GPU compute power to help science with numerical computation? We could wra…

What about cosmic crisp?

I hope somebody at Microsoft read this. It goes far beyond security vulnerabilities. The Teams Linux client is barely usable. Chromebooks don't even have a client. Could Microsoft …

Thought experiment. Let's assume that a number of services only work well/are viable when the app collects a lot of information from its users. What if we make all app's collected …

Crazy idea here :) The better I get at writing clean code, the less comments I need to use. What if there was a "compiler mode" where comments were forbidden. Or maybe you are enti…

If your .vimrc is minimal, you will have a pretty good time using systems that implement "vim like" text editing. Take Overleaf for example, no vimrc is available, but I'm quite ha…

And fast! I got easily 3 orders of magnitude speedup. I used to load CSVs with pandas and do typical filtering operations... oh boy, some of the stuff would take a hole morning, no…

Here is the thing made me a happier person this year: I realized when CSVs take too long to load, I should not be using them in the first place! I love SQLite now <3

I'm in the middle of a PhD myself, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. I actually agree with the author, certain fields are just very complex to develop a solid understand wit…

Quick comment, not an expert, but environ vars keep their state after the program is called. From a functional programming perspective, or just for my own sanity, wouldn’t it be mo…

Absolutely not. "Apple Silicon" is branding for their own processor. This is a road to an opensource ecosystem in HW design.

Design is not all. There is a reason IC design houses are vanishing, it is too expensive to design custom chips. Only large companies can afford the tapeouts, testing, Packaging, a…

Using fancy features does not make you a better programmer. It is the other way around.

Misleading title, change it, it just spreads panic.

That was a very nice breakdown of costs for a side project. Thanks for sharing this!
