3. There are WAY more things to get corrupted on a computer system than tokens. And non-determinism does NOT mean it’s tolerant to faults. Random values are intentionally introduced at the right moment for LLMs.

Nothing in Michigan? The state with the most light houses out of any in the US?

No. It’s 100% a design choice by the manufacturer to make them look weird.

Even with the benefits of EV packaging, manufacturers chose to make them “different” on purpose, which really put off the vast majority of buyers. Tesla had so much success because they were practically the first manufacturer to make something look somewhat normal and have good stats.

Now, BMW finally learned and has their 4 and 5 series EV cars share a common platform with the ICE. There is no physical difference in style other than the front grill.

Why is this linking to a merged PR, or a PR at all, and not a status page?

More than just IPv4 priorities, almost all other IPv6 addresses are given higher priority which makes routing between ULAs on an internal network problematic.

That draft doc seems to fix multiple problems at once.

A forced migration is basically just making a brand new system. It’s not a “protocol fix”.

And what happens to all those cold wallets where people can recover the secret key or forge signatures for it? They money is just gone, either by thieves or the network disallowing them to be spent.

It helps build a new system, but all existing wallets would be hackable until they migrate. And we expect everyone to have the time and resources to do that? For a “store of value” system?

All of my hardware wallets are now worthless? All of the hardware security modules used for wallets managed by corporations no longer work?

It's an absolute mess for so many reasons that a "protocol fix" just doesn't cover.

I really hate the “someone will certainly solve this problem!” mentality.

You can’t just magically update the protocol to work around the ability of someone to break elliptic curve cryptography. That not how this works. It’s not how any of this works.

Except LLMs that tell the student wrong answers, or the person needing therapy to kill themselves.
