Isn't proof of stake essentially the opposite of what crypto currency originally wanted to be, a democratic currency without central control? As far as I understand PoS, it means that the rich control the block chain, right? Those who own more currency have more control?

The problem is that you don't change the mindset of the masses just like that within a couple of years. That couple of years, in fact, that we have left to switch away from exploitation of nature before it is really too late to save our livelihood.

Yepp... Me. I just don't have the time and the necessary problems to solve in order to keep up to date. And for most of my daily challenges a good old linear regression or random forest is all that's needed. And if I want to get fancy, I use xgboost.

Stuff like diffusors, transformers... fascinates me. Do I understand the principle ideas behind them? Kind of, I think... Would I be able to replicate the results? Hell no! Let alone use the principles to solve my own problems (that I don't even have)...

I miss doing AI science. But at some point you've got to let go and let fresher minds do the pushing.
