six perfections (paramitas) that benefit both oneself and others: benevolent generosity, ethical discipline, forbearing patience, enthusiastic perseverance, concentrative meditation, and discerning wisdom.

This special awakening is what the bodhisattva strives to attain, deliberately choosing through his great compassion to remain in samsara and to renounce gaining salvation for himself alone. In other words, an aspiring bodhisattva wishes for awakening only as a means to bring about the positive welfare of other beings. Because of his love and compassion for all beings, the bodhisattva is never deterred by the suffering of samsara or any hardship that his altruistic efforts may entail. Fearless courage, therefore, particularly distinguishes a bodhisattva and is implicit in bodhicitta.

However, itcannot be over-emphasized that our need for understanding is best served atthe higher level of abstraction; the advantage of a high-level language isnotational rather than computational. That is, it allows us to think andrepresent our algorithms in mathematical terms rather than in terms of themachine. It is after a clear understanding of the problem is attained that weshould begin thinking about representation.

be able to run entire virtual worlds like actually put in a game like Minecraft um I think this isn't normally a gif but a PDF doesn't support GIF yet so I won't 00:18:41 be able to see the GIF but imagine being able to have an entire virtual world like Minecraft and all of the interactions of the players in that speed being able to be tracked with the 00:18:53 hard verifiability of um of consensus in a blockchain setting so like that's where we're headed

I've been hoping to talk about this for a long time this is a really like a long-term bit of work for a lot of us um the um the consensus lab in general has been 00:00:16 um pioneering a ton of like amazing contributions to the ecosystem in terms of scaling in a bunch of different ways and this one I think is going to be one of the greatest contributions that this lab is going to make um to the whole blockchain space

it sounds like this breaks cap theorem

massive scale data science um all of this sort of coordinated and think of all the data pipelines um built with IPC

you could do 00:12:48 traditional backends in a web 3 sort of sense um with optimistic or zero knowledge proof based verifiability which might be very secure verifiability to be a bit expensive but you you make it up in the scale out so by being able to Fan out 00:13:01 and have so many computers you can pay off a few orders of magnitude in running a traditional standard web app backend in the zero knowledge setting

there's this consensus bottleneck where you're trying to push in tons of amounts of of transactions you everything is getting bottlenecks

permissionless 00:02:02 large-scale Byzantine fault tolerant networks that have an economic construction within them um it's a much stronger way of building um digital resistance and applications but we need to make them scale

why Bitcoin was an ethereum and so on were sort of like disregarded by the traditional Cloud people because it just kind of seemed crazy that you know a transactional system that could do only 00:01:49 a fraction of what your phone could do was going to run the entire monetary system

web3 needs to become 00:01:23 web scale today

it gives you Byzantine 00:00:43 fault tolerant tolerance in a very nice scalable setting and it has very nice properties for a lot of classic distributed systems applications and so you can think of doing cluster management and large-scale computational 00:00:57 arrangements

design distributed applications with tolerance for interplanetary delays

let's talk about the interplanetary 00:06:31 principle it's something that the professor Community came up with and the idea is like um you know if you remember the end-to-end principle that says that

inside networks um you want to keep things dumb and stateless the endpoints have to do all 00:06:44 the work

if you were doing something simpler you could have a much simpler protocol if you were just kind 00:06:19 of like trying to do like um you know log machine replication or something like that or having eventually consistent structures and whatnot like if you want to be able to like have hard security um that's a much harder problem

IBM’s design of the single-level storage was originally conceived and pioneered by Frank Soltis in the late 1970s as a way to build a transitional implementation to computers with 100% solids state memory. The thinking at the time was that disk drives would become obsolete, and would be replaced entirely with some form of solid state memory.

It starts with the small things: “Bugs in whatever part of whatever client they’re using; whatever service in the back end they’re trying to use. They’ll be small annoyances to start, but as the back-end fixes are being delayed, things will accumulate until people will eventually just give up.”
