Very weird submission, the linked post is 2 years old. Received no attention whatsoever, then the Copyright is updated to CC0 4 hours ago and suddenly gets posted to Hackernews. Fu…

There are no miners on Ethereum for years already.

The money is owed to our future selfs or generations to come, who pay the interests. If the money obtained through debt is well invested such that it creates growth that outpaces t…

Stagnate in what sense?

What you are missing... Physics is practiced by hand, pen and paper or chalk and blackboard. There is no IDE or auto-completion. The short hands, abbreviations, and obscure syntax …

> That's just a more polite way to say tax. Being permissionless is cool, but it's still tax in my dict. It most certainly is not. They are doing a work for the network and getting…

> Sure, friends also won't let friends skip the fact that circulating supply of ETH is now decreasing instead of increasing. This changes absolutely nothing of the calculation. Fur…

How do the rich become gradually richer under PoS? I'm flabbergasted by the level of math education. Assume we have 2 validators in the network; the first one owns 90% of the netwo…

In case you are curious BlackRock launched last week a money market fund on Ethereum. You can see it onchain here: https://etherscan.io/token/0x7712c34205737192402172409a8f7cc... A…

Very likely, but if they get it sorted out one day he will be using it without knowing. If you have no interest whatsoever and they start explaining to you all the cryptography beh…

Providing global instant settlement for sub-cent fees? Doubt it.

If you ascertain some value to the permissionless and self-custodial value of cash. And you see value in the internet's ability to connect the entire world. Then it follows immedia…

You can backup your account with passkeys.

I'm going to leave here a few dashboards that might be interesting: See Ethereum scale day by day (today Ethereum is doing 160 tps, more than 10x its initial throughput): https://l…

This upgrade will bring among other things significant scalability improvements. You can see Ethereum's increase in scalability in action with the following dashboards: - https://l…

That feels a bit like throwing the baby with the bathwater. Ethereum provides a global, permissionless public key infrastructure. Then on top of that it has the token for payments,…

Your identity is on Ethereum (a rollup on top of it being a bit more precise). So stuff like this https://techcrunch.com/2023/07/26/twitter-now-x-took-over-th... cannot happen.

The Schrodinger equation is just restating something you may already know if you studied physics. The Hamiltonian is the generator of time translations. Look at it again with that …

I'm gonna give it a shot and give an analogy with a comp. science audience in mind. All Quantum Field Theories are effective theories. Effective means that they work up to certain …

And the same was done for LIGO and the discovery of gravitational waves. 2 observatories, one in Hanford and one in Livingstone.

Yes, and even 1+1 gravity theories, like JT-gravity ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackiw%E2%80%93Teitelboim_grav... ). But 2+1 Einstein's gravity is locally trivial (i.e. there a…

And here a prediction from M-theory/string theory on that same mass-range that also predates the Higgs discovery. Prediction: https://arxiv.org/abs/1112.1059 Review and discussion:…

The basic difference is pointing that there is something more fundamental and it doesn't have to do with physics. It has to do with math, with calculus, and with approximating comp…
