What NFTs (and crypto in general) do is very different from a web of trust style approach

Crypto creates one source of absolute truth, the Blockchain, costly computed via consensus.

Web of trust, on the other hand, requires you to declare which accounts you trust. Via public-private key signing, you can always verify that a post is actually made by a specific person, and if you trust that person (e.g. because you’ve met them before and exchanged keys), you know it’s legit. You can then extend that system by also trusting accounts your trusted accounts verified, etc

It is! It says so in the trailer

At the moment it feels like the proverb about gold rushs and shovels

That wasn’t the attempt with the Guinness world record judge present, so they didn’t accept it

It’s static, yes, but the static price is orders of magnitude higher. It still involves loading the whole model into VRAM and performing matrix multiplication on trillions of numbers

helix!

I read your first comment and thought “I wonder if they’re studying physics too, this sounds way too relatable”. lo and behold

hang in there!

god, I hate capitalism

Aww, the broken comments were my favorite feature

Bells inequality is a statement about math, it gives an inequality that could only be violated if there were no local hidden variables (read: if measurements were truly random). That was a statement of math, which is rigorously provable. It took experimental confirmation, but we can now say with high confidence that there are no local hidden variables (i.e. there is no information hidden that we simply cannot measure, instead the outcome is only decided the moment you measure).

Global hidden variables are still an option, but they would require much of the rest of physics to be rewritten

No problem! Interpretations of quantum mechanics are also still very much under discussion, and Bell’s inequality only says that there are no local hidden variables. While QM very accurately describes observations so far, it’s by no means solved, and there’s a good chance that a new theory will upend much of it in the future

He proved it mathematically, but it was only recently confirmed experimentally

it’s a matter of interpretation, but generally the consensus is that quantum measurements are truly probabilistic (random), Bell proved that there can’t be any hidden variables that influence the outcome

What you’re forgetting is that Watt isn’t a unit of energy, it’s a unit of power, that is energy per time. So you wouldn’t say something generates 1W per hour, you’d just say something generates 1W. And if you multiply that by a unit of time, you get total energy. So an engine producing 2MW running for 5h would produce 10MWh, or 36GJ.

I have the same problem in German (ä, ö, ü and ß), and I’ve resigned to using US layout with caps lock mapped as compose key. But then again, I code more than I write texts

WolframAlpha estimates PrimePi[2^64-1] to be about 4.15829E17, so about 97.7%

asymptotically this is 100% correct!
