I will not spend hours of my time researching and writing a detailed reply for someone that thinks PoW can be masked as PoS. I know the fundamentals of software engineering and blockchains, and those are enough to explain why you should take the devs word about ethereum being PoS. How the staking mechanism works is irrelevant for this discussion.
Maybe I should've included the small explanation in my first reply, but given the other commenter's attitude I doubt it would matter.
It's a fundamental part of the blockchain. In PoW you have to constantly run a mining program on your computer. In PoS you designate an amount to stake (by smart contract, if I'm not mistaken) and that's it. How would the ethereum devs (or whoever else) run PoW without telling anyone? Who would pay the electricity bills?
People should be skeptical, but within reason. No investigation, no right to speak and all that.
It's capitalist apologia when I correct you on something? Give me a break.
I stand by my original tone, I stated that you have no idea what you're talking about, which is true, without attacking you with names, expletives etc.
I think it’s super dangerous to take the developers’ word on their product. Probably it’s literally POS, but I’m not gonna believe all the hype without a disinterested confirmation.
If you believe a coin on the scale of Ethereum can lie about whether it's proof of stake or work, you have no idea what you're talking about.
Americans seemingly can't grasp war as something more than k/d stats. You see it a lot in discussions about Ukraine, too; lots of them devolve to "but 1 gajillion russian casualties/destroyed materiel"
The math involved in LLMs is not complex for anyone that has passed undergrad Calc and Linear Algebra classes. If you know derivatives, the chain rule and some matrix basics you can figure them out with enough studying.
The hard part about LLMs is not the math but the neural net architecture innovations they brought (eg self-attention)
wouldn't this also download the ad, if it gets injected in the video stream?
Cuba is not facing an invasion but they are facing a strangling embargo, aligning with Russia is preferable than withering away in isolation.
Does it really matter if the delivery system is inferior? Google says they have five thousand warheads. Even if 4900 get intercepted (98% success rate), 100 nukes will connect.
Also, besides the launch silos, there's the bombers and the nuclear subs, which are enough to end the world by themselves
So you're a communist that denounces every communist project atop an ivory tower, instead of understanding the realities of actually building a socialist society (no magical button that will make us overcome hierarchies overnight, I'm afraid). Sounds like you're just larping about being a communist
You didn't downright say that they lie about being PoS, but you said that a third party must confirm it, which is an equally bonkers statement. You can check my reply to the other commenter for a small explanation on why that's true.
