Baopab··on Ethereum Proof-of-Stake
Great article, it put an end to many misunderstandings that I had. The technology is truly marvelous.
Baopab··on Show HN: Fast Deep Reinforcement Learning Course
This looks great! Thank you for all the thought and effort you have put into it.

I am currently working on a project where I need to use RLlib for a capacity planning problem. Looks like I will learn a thing or two over the weekend.

I will eventually need to use a custom environment, so it's great to see it's included in your roadmap. Most courses I have seen totally ignored that. Fancy Atari envs are great for practice and have wow factor, but you need a custom environment to do anything resembling real work.

Would I need a beefy GPU for the coding challenges?

Baopab··on We spent $980k on a failed SaaS project
Oh wow, what a roller coaster ride! Thanks for sharing, this is just so much more informative than the usual "look how successful I am" posts!

And good luck with your future projects, Pareto Security sure looks interesting!

Baopab··on Putting Decentralized Finance in the Pocket of Millions
I post this because it's a good article that really summarizes some of the main painpoints in crypto right now. I'm not sure these guys have the answer but I'm glad people are actively working to solve these major adoption issues with crypto. If people want crypto to be more mainstream and widely adopted then we have to make things easy for the basic user.
Baopab··on Show HN: Evolution Zero – extracting data from documents without any training
Wow! looks like GPT-3 for documents, nice! What about pricing?
Baopab··on Luna Cryptocurrency Collapse: How UST Broke
I was a user of a defi dapp that ran on the LUNA blockchain and allowed me to go short or long on various stocks. The LUNA price didn't matter to me, but their blockchain and the dapp was useful. Not wasting time to go through KYC/AML in order to go long or short on a stock is a good thing.
Baopab··on Show HN: JavaScript as a Database – Serverless Platform
I see that https://github.com/javascriptdb/jsdb-server is licensed SSPL instead of something more permissive like MIT. Could you explain the reasoning behind this? How does this affect my ability of self host?
Baopab··on Local detection of dark matter with future missions to Uranus and Neptune
There's also a Cambridge study from ~1 year ago that could be the first direct detection of dark energy in an experimental dark matter detector. I can't seem to find it again though...
