Chat GPT doesn't reason in the typical sense. It's just predicts the next word in a sentence, and that prediction is only based on the data it was trained on.

Yep, even this article could be full of bullshit.

Nah, all benefit from bitcoin.

It's the same whether it's limited or infinite funds, the EV is zero (assuming a fair game).

For example, I have 3 sats, first round is 50% chance of winning 1 sat, on second round 25% chance of winning 1 sat (-1 from 1st round + 2 from 2nd round), and 25% chance of losing 3 sats total (-1 + -2), therefore EV = 50% x 1 + 25% x 1 - 25% x 3 = 0

The infinite sum also works out to EV=0.

If it's actually a fair game, then martingale is 0 expected value, with variance being a function of the number of interactions you plan on going too.

Not quite the same, but reminds me of the quote "For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong."

It should be pretty easy for clients to store its own events as a backup. Could even be done as a default. In the situation where your relays go offline, you just transfer all your events to a new relay.

Really depends on how important your identity is and what you use it for. Heaps of Nostr use cases that don't require such nsec absolutism.

Rats and hawks. With a bit of cover or a rat wall if necessary, you can defend against the hunter until your hawks neutralise him, and then you destroy him with rats.

5 hawks to the hunter as he is the immediate threat. Hawks are the fastest animal to respond to the fastest killer, the hunter. This will be followed up by 150 rats to take out his eyes and burrow into his skull.

500 rats and 1 hawk for each gorilla and bear. 300 and 200 rats respectfully for each lion and buffulo. These also get a total of 7 hawks to keep them busy until the rats get to work.

50 rats for each wolf, and 1 hawk per 3 wolves. The crocs get 1 hawk each and 50 rats to target their eyes. This is the weakest defence, but crocs are slow over larger distances.

I would take cover until the hunter is neutralised, even if that means taking cover behind an attacking bear. I would keep a reserve of 2000 rats and 15 hawks to deal with any animals that break through the defences. Where required I would re task the rats and hawks depending on how their individual battles are going, all the while dodging crocs and fighting off the stonger wolves.

Also the pessimistic solution aligns with this: which way would you prefer to die? To be shot by a hunter and ripped apart by gorillas, or eaten alive by rats?
