For him, the cost of editing was much larger. Condensing your writing in his time meant rewriting it more concisely, requiring strictly more time than collecting his thoughts as he went.

With LLM's, we are in a new state of the world: it can expand any one sentence off hand remark in an essay.

It’s a terrible adage. There are thousands of ways to cheat honest people that place bets. For example, they definitely cheated everyone that only placed bets before June.

He went to prison, served his time, paid his debt to society. There is no need for further punishment.

I do really like the idea.

But pardon my ignorance, but one could quite easily roll this themselves? Script the hooks and fire off a headless agent with a hook specific prompt.

What is the benefit of realizing the gains for France? They had gold, they still have gold. They don't pay tax on their gold or gains.

On the other hand, others don’t have to adopt, use or like your stuff which would be the reasons to publish it.

One big commit definitely doesn’t help with creating confidence in this project.

Also for a * b + c ? I know clang tidy wants me to do this but I think it is overkill.

From the Stockfish docs at https://official-stockfish.github.io/docs/stockfish-wiki/Sto....

> Rating Stockfish against a human scale, such as FIDE Elo, has become virtually impossible. The gap in strength is so large that a human player cannot secure the necessary draws or wins for an accurate Elo measurement.

A large telecommunications satellite operates at about 15kW. A Blackwell GPU consumes 1kW so you would be at 15 Blackwells per satellite. The cooling surface needs to scale linearly so there is little return to scale.

This doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

The author was frustrated that the error message identified him as an organisation (that was disabled) and mockingly refers to himself as the (disabled) organisation in the post.

At least, that’s my reading but it appears it confuses about half of the commenters here.

Should have asked Claude how to write it better.

I understand your logic but I found LLM's to be quite strong at C#. It makes little mistakes and the mistakes seem related to the complexity of what I'm doing, not the language itself.

This is incorrect. The miner just changes the header of the block and rehashes. The transaction set is fixed for many tries.
Bootvis

I agree this is easy enough to follow but I'd like to quibble about something else:

Comments should answer the question why you are not using some kind of hash set and do a single pass over the data and why it's OK to reorder the strings. One could reasonable expect that Dedupe shows first occurrences in order.

This can have another explanation as well: the moment a block is found, the miner starts building on top of the previous block but hasn't constructed a new full block of transactions yet as that costs a bit of time to calculate and distribute. In this period, a new block could be found.
