Fascinating. How exactly is the model trained? I see this is an inference tool, is the model trained external to minecraft or in the game itself?

What everyone is missing: the biggest advantage of the Euro is debt. Once you can take loans out in Euro, investors can give you lower rates since they’re not worried about a national bank going haywire and debasing the local currency. Also no potentially illiquid currency markets that need to be cleared going in and out of the currency.

Ask a homeowner the difference between a 2% loan (euro price) and 5% (local currency) and you’ll understand why so many countries have opted for the Euro.

Does anyone understand how the Market Expert works? It takes in numerical OHLC data and converts it to embeddings for use by the LLM… but embedding are also numbers so I don’t see how that’s any easier for the LLM to process since it’s a language model.

> The Market Analyst LLM focuses on analyzing historical OHLCV (Open, High, Low, Close, Vol- ume) data to predict stock movements. However, time series data is inherently continuous and lacks the discrete token structure that LLMs are designed to process. This misalignment poses a signifi- cant challenge in effectively utilizing LLMs on time series. To this end, we utilize a reprogramming mechanism Jin et al. (2024) to reprogram the input financial time series into text prototype repre- sentations.

This is actually one of the most interesting parts of the Urbit project IMO -- their addressing scheme has 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 address support. The addresses are displayed in memorable terms that fit into an astromoical-styled system.

A /8, an example being "~rel" (one syllable names based out of a bank of 256 memorable 3-letter syllables)-- these are galaxies and are extremely rare (128 galaxies total). Then you have /16 stars which are like "~tabrel", combining two of these syllables -- their are 64,000 stars. And then finally, you have /32 planets like "~sampel-tabrel", which are 4b illion and enough to be valuable and stop spam, but are somewhat disposable kind of like a phone number.

Each one of those planets can spawn billions of /64 moons (sampel-tabrel^dambel-gabnel) which can be used for IoT or family members.This naming scheme draws a good delineation has both human understandable names and memorable addresses you can use for a lifetime -- as well as tremendous scalability to support routing between trillions of addresses.

Created a shell utility in Go, called go-live. The idea is that you start it in a directory, and then those files are immediately hosted on the network.

The core idea is to be as lightweight and performant as possible, and to do one thing only and well - Unix style.

Looking for contributors and feedback on it.

I'm proud to announce the release of an open-source project I've been working on, go-live!

It's a fast, portable Go command line utility that serves a file directory over HTTP. It can be used for local web development, production static-site serving, or as a network file host. By default, go-live serves the directory it is executed in.

It's inspired by JavaScript's famous live-server utility, but way faster and doesn't need Node.js installed. Supports Linux, Windows, and Mac, as well as ARM. It's also 4MB fully compiled, and can be used on an IoT device.

Mac: ```brew tap antsankov/go-live && brew install go-live``` Linux: ```snap install go-live```

Checkout the Github for more info on how to install it: https://github.com/antsankov/go-live#install and interesting use cases.

Any feedback is appreciated, since this is the first open-source Unix utility I've worked on! Also need some help on profiling it.

To add onto this - I have had my entire account shadow-banned when I wrote a popular technical article about blockchain technology (also about my startup). It looked fine to me when I was logged in, but it showed up as a 404 to people who clicked on it. No notice. No explanation. I wrote about this Kafkaesque expereince here. Make sure to post in multiple places.

Bitcoin cash is much closer to the original implementation by Satoshi Nakamoto. It's simply a much smaller, and IMO, cleaner codebase that just increased one parameter to achieve scaling.

Bitcoin core (what we call BTC) has many more lines of non-Satoshi code that was added to facilitate off-chain scaling.

Because a protocol with a finite number of coins has an inherent value to it, by virtue of the fact that other people are there and you can only use it if you have a token. Imagine I have a club, and it costs $5 to enter. You can always just create your own club for $2, but it's not a given that people will come. This is how a completely open-source protocol can monetize.

The same is true with Bitcoin or Ethereum. You can fork it and make your own, but the majority of the people want to use one of the original protocols, and you can only use the protocol if you pay with the proper protocol token (either BTC or ETH).

The criticism's in this post really make very little sense. What does that mean that "private keys only have value when you hold them." Private keys are worthless, they only give you access to the wallets that they unlock.

Also, no, you are not guaranteed to stay at 51% forever. Vitalik has explicitly said that if a 51% attack happens, the community is expected to fork, and all of your funds will be isolated and slashed in the fork. If you want to attack again, you then need to collect another 51% of funds. This gets exponentially more difficult.
