LLMs still leave something to be desired for DevOps related work; infrastructure code. There is still not really enough context available when crossing the division between the hardware, OS, and software. For Terraform, specifically, Claude

Craig is still Satoshi, no matter what a court has (temporarily) ordered him to state. Craig has followed the legal process 100% for years at this point, paid every (massive) court-ordered payment. The majority of cases feature him as defen

Will this processor suffer from the same vulnerabilities as was just discovered on the previous M1-3?

BTC is 7 TPS because MasterCard et al neutered it. Bitcoin is professionalizing. It's built for everything in the world to be timestamped with super low transaction fees.

This is more Bitcoin than BTC at this point. It follows the whitepaper completely. 3 Petabytes of data after 6 months. This is all done on AWS currently.

Bitcoin BTC tops out at 7 TPS. Visa tops out at around 50,000 TPS. This is just an initial target test. Bitcoin scales unbounded. 10M TPS next target. This is also just layer 1. It's designed for additional layers expressed through tra

A new distributed version of Bitcoin is now processing 1 million transactions per second. It's doing this on a test network setup between the USA, Europe, and Asia. People said it could not be done. They were wrong. Proof of Work. EDIT

Bitcoin wallets are collections of private keys and corresponding public keys. They may or may not also be linked together hierarchically using ECDSA math, and possibly encrypted as well.

Check this out. IPV6 integrated with Bitcoin generated addressing. Every packet gets a unique address. Security implications are profound. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2311.15842.pdf

It's a case of grift by continual fundraising on (mostly) false cybersecurity fears. There are no really useful quantum computers and there won't be because it's mostly a scam. Feel free to downvote me but if you search hard

No. I eat whole foods, mostly organic, no artificial anything if I can help it. I can't eat out much anymore because of not knowing what is in the food. I switched to maple syrup or honey for all my sweetener needs.

Originally, Bitcoin had no limits in place including the block size. That was added later. The original protocol scales to trillions of transactions per second. The secret is the Merkle tree and the block header. The block headers only take

IPV6 becomes supercharged when you layer it with the original Bitcoin protocol. It integrates Cryptographic Generated Addresses in IPV6 which is an extension that has been around for awhile but never implemented. Here is the founder and cha

There's a lot of research that contradicts these notions, and also practical advice on how to remedy through food choices, if one is inclined to look into it. As with anything, it's a controversial subject, probably due to the sev

No, it's not Paul, but wouldn't it be ironic if it turned out that the designer and architect of the original Bitcoin protocol was (partially) responsible for putting him behind bars?

The computational cost of Bitcoin mining not only serves to bootstrap the totality of the BTC into the ledger but also is designed to protect the network. It is also a teeny-tiny fraction of the power required by the legacy banking infrastr

I have found that certification courses can give a proper introduction to specific technical areas. Of course, if the goal is to just get the cert, then one would probably miss most of the learning aspects of the certification process. The
