I echo your observations. I expect you will enjoy deepseek-v4-pro for writing code. Much closer to that Opus experience, and very cost-effective too. With 5.5 as a reviewer and spe…

"seek an eternal perspective" is such a beautifully open way to posit that concept. There's a lot of nihilism in the world, and this is the way beyond it, whatever flavour your sal…

I laughed a little at calling Firedancer contributors "a team at a HFT firm". Not that you are technically wrong, not at all, that's where Jump came from. It's just that this is al…

Some great resources here. One thing I want to point out: Rustlings follows the path of The Book and provides references for each section where appropriate. So I would not advise t…

You want to use Bitcoin to make international payments without headaches... so you open an account on a custodial service? I don't understand what you expected to happen. All you h…

That's news to me. Looks like the US is speaking for the world again. You have bigger problems with your food than whether or not it is plant-based, I promise you that. In the UK a…

Lot of nonsense in the comments, absolutely nothing wrong with the taste of Beyond. Problem is that it is outrageously expensive and the market has become saturated with plenty of …

It's not a magic wand. It facilitates new decentralized systems, it doesn't somehow fix the old ones. You're assuming a world where digital content is administrated and supported b…

That's not the only difference, it's not even the most significant difference. The difference is you don't own anything on Steam. Just like you don't own anything digital you buy o…

You sound like you'd enjoy TypeScript with NodeJS. Low learning curve. Highly productive. Massively versatile ecosystem. You can be functional or OO. And of course, the type system…

Nim is a great language with some killer features, but if the community is growing, it's doing it very slowly. TypeScript would have my vote. I have my eye on Deno and Bun but they…

Just the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon at work! Or perhaps a synchronicity, if you are inclined to believe in such things. A similar thing happened to me the last time the Strid popped…

Bitcoin absolutely has had hard forks. > There isn’t a “Bitcoin classic” chain floating around with an old set of consensus rules. Yes, there literally is a Bitcoin Classic, and pr…

Ty for your service foo.

Sounds like you haven't wrapped your head around the basics of smart contracts. Yes, a blockchain gives you an (ideally) immutable foundation. No, that doesn't mean that every tran…

> I'm not going to be argumentative here It does help when you check the numbers before making your assertions. > Clearly coinbase would have a bias to promote userbase You discoun…

> You simply can't argue that money laundering isn't rampant on cypto currencies. Actually, I can quite easily argue that. Neither of your sources give evidence or numbers that jus…

> I do however have an issue with the incredibly high rate of money laundering etc that flows through crypto. Incredibly high relative to what exactly? The total exchange volume of…

Your vitriol against Tornado is misplaced, though not surprising given the general ignorance regarding the blockchain industry on HN.

It's an interesting problem and one that many decentralized applications will be forced to contend with, beyond simple airdrops. Many on-chain protocols and primitives simply don't…

For Bitcoin, yes. For other networks, ZK and optimistic rollups are the main contenders.

The decentralization of PoS depends entirely on initial token distribution.
