Scott is a lot more accessible and engaging as a writer and did a lot to turn SSC/ACX into a platform for other like-minded bloggers. Gwern’s content is a lot more niche and he’s also less consistent with his output, but what he does p

Eh, Armenia losing its war wasn't particularly detrimental to the Russian interests in the Transcaucasia - if anything it helped bring Pashinyan back into the fold, as evidenced by him embracing CSTO during the Kazakh unrest. Minsk is

The common thought seems to be that large scale decentralization can only be achieved with the kind of incentives cryptocurrencies provide (i.e. people get rewards for running their own nodes). You mention IPFS, but they actually implemente

How will you know that the generated code doesn't have any bugs? Codex in its current form is meant to be used as an assist for someone who can already code/debug, not as a replacement for a contractor.

That's about as advisable as asking it to write firmware for a pacemaker. Smart contracts are some of the most delicate codebases - even a tiny bug can cause you to lose a lot of money. With a model like this bugs are very likely, espe
