Taleb Disorder Series Books

Books Introducing four great books written by Taleb: “Antifragile” Reading “The Black Swan” finished The Random Walk for Dummies not read “Asymmetric Risk” not read The Wisdom of Random Survival unread Knowledge Extension In looking at Taleb’s Black Swan, he has been emphasizing the properties of both Average Stan and Extreme Stan, while paying particular attention to the probabilistic understanding-fractal geometry, self-similarity theory in Extreme Stan. Here let me pay special attention to the conjecture that graph network is the cornerstone of the physical theory of the universe proposed by wolfram earlier this year, interested partners can go to wolframphysics to understand the specific content, simply speaking is to create complex universe by a simple rule, and then by these multiplying models of the universe to explain our existing edifice of physics theory. In fractal theory, a certain rule reproduces the wonderful geometry of nature by constantly iterating itself, which is the self-similar structure that Taleb has been describing in his books, so at present one focuses a lot of attention on the two areas of randomness and fractal geometry, and the use of fractal geometry may lead to a new breakthrough in machine learning. ...

Beacome an ETH validator

Summary This article will not go into too much technical details about ETH, but will mainly deal with how to become a validator of ETH 2.0. At the end of this year, ETH will complete the stage 0 upgrade, migrating from PoW proof-of-work to PoS proof-of-stake. Before myself at the company’s hackathon com , I thought about how to use the excess arithmetic power to do something valuable. PoW is theoretically more wasteful of energy, and miners buy a lot of mining machines for computing, while after adopting the PoS mechanism, by becoming a validator, we can finish the Instead of buying a lot of mining machines to generate new blocks like PoW, to become a validator you need to lock a certain amount of cryptocurrency as proof of interest, if you run a verifying node to verify a block and check if all the transactions inside are valid, if it passes, you will receive a reward in return. ...
