I keep seeing this kind of retort online whenever I ask someone to describe what is "great" about something. Why does it matter what I consider "great"/marvelous?
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?
I am glad you like it. The coding exercises don't require a GPU. Thankfully, most RL problems (and certainly the ones used in the course) require small neural nets which can be trained in reasonable time using a CPU.
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.
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.
Interesting. I didn't know much about the LUNA ecosystem outside of UST, but it looks like they had built quite a bit of applications: https://www.terra.money/ecosystem
I don't know what stages these projects were in, but it is pretty sad to see all the engineering effort go to waste. I hope some of these will be salvaged and ported to other blockchains somehow.
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?
Sure. You can host it yourself for commercial purposes and you don't have to open source anything in your product, just like you can with MIT.
The only difference is that if you want to create a service that offers JSDB as a service (compete with javascriptdb.com) you have to open source it. The idea is to make big cloud companies contribute back.
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...
