Блокчейн как распределен...
{ между скобок }
💬 @megdu_skobok
🔗 youtube.com/watch?v=wwPmcDihxFs
Игорь Корсаков и Сергей Тихомиров обсудили множество аспектов блокчейна и его будущего. Вот краткое и организованное резюме их обсуждения:

🌕Определение и Понимание Блокчейна
- Блокчейн как Технология: Описывается как распределенная база данных с цифровыми подписями, характеризующаяся неэффективностью и плохой масштабируемостью.
- Важность Блокчейна: Подчеркивается его роль в распределении власти и прав на запись данных.

🌕Историческая Значимость Биткоина
- Биткоин как Исторический Документ: Обсуждается важность биткоина для понимания архитектуры блокчейна.
- Сборка Технологий в Биткоине: Биткоин собрал вместе существующие технологии для создания децентрализованных денег.

🌕Технологические Аспекты Блокчейна
- Элементы Блокчейна: Рассматриваются децентрализованный консенсус и безопасность.
- Алгоритмы Консенсуса: Обсуждаются Proof of Work и Proof of Stake.

🌕Применение Блокчейна
- Ограниченное Применение: Указывается на отсутствие успешных примеров применения блокчейна вне сферы криптовалют.
- Блокчейн и Цифровые Подписи: Пример с Rolex показывает, что иногда достаточно цифровых подписей и централизованной базы данных.

🌕Будущее Блокчейна
- Пессимистический Взгляд: Выражается мнение, что блокчейны могут быть не так важны для общества, как это представляется энтузиастам.
- Разделение Экосистемы: Предполагается возможное разделение на "трушных" энтузиастов блокчейна и более компромиссные системы.

🌕Советы и Рекомендации
- Изучение Компьютерных Наук: Рекомендуется изучать компьютерные науки, так как блокчейн включает в себя множество базовых компьютерных задач.
- Внимательность к Новым Проектам: Советуется быть внимательным к новым проектам в области блокчейна и пытаться понять их суть.

В целом, обсуждение охватывает широкий спектр тем, связанных с блокчейном, от его основных принципов до будущего развития и практического применения.

This research by Cameron Jones and Benjamin Bergen from UC San Diego evaluates GPT-4's ability to pass the Turing Test in a public online experiment. The study found that the best-performing version of GPT-4 successfully passed the test in 41% of cases, outperforming previous models such as ELIZA (27%) and GPT-3.5 (14%), but did not reach the random level and the level set by human participants (63%).

The Turing Test, devised in 1950, is a game where one human and one artificial intelligence try to convince an interviewer that they are human using only a text interface. This test was developed as an indirect way to answer the question, "Can machines think?".

In the experiment, 652 people participated, playing a total of 1810 games. Of these games, 1405 were analyzed by the researchers (260 involving a human as a witness). Participants were randomly assigned to play either with another human or with artificial intelligence. AI games were conducted in the absence of an available human partner.

Analysis of the results found that participants' demographic data, including age, gender, education level, frequency of interaction with chatbots, and level of knowledge about large language models (LLMs), did not affect the accuracy of their judgments regarding whether their interlocutor was human or AI.

Among the strategies used by interviewers to determine whether the interlocutor was AI or human were small talk, questions about knowledge and reasoning, and situational awareness. The main reasons interviewers decided their interlocutor was AI were related to linguistic style and socio-emotional factors.

The study raises the question of whether 30% is an adequate criterion for passing the Turing Test, noting that a more widely accepted criterion is 50%. It is noted that none of the tested AI witnesses achieved either 50% success or parity with human witnesses. Thus, the study does not find evidence that GPT-4 passes the Turing Test.

📊 How many developers are there in the world?

🌕On GitHub, by January 2023, there were more than 100 million active developers registered [1].
🌕According to the latest data, in 2023, there were more than 500,000 active developers registered on the WakaTime platform, who spent a total of 51 million hours programming with WakaTime plugins. On average, each user spent 48 minutes per day programming, and less than 10,000 users contributed 50,330 hours of Solidity use. [2][3].
🌕There are 226,399 developers participating in the cryptocurrency and Web3 ecosystems every month, with 6,279 active full-time as of October 2023 [4].

Based on this data, we can make a rough guess that at least 0.23% of developers are working on Web3

The Unison programming language represents a rather unique and innovative tool in the world of software development:

1. Immutable Codebase: In Unison, code is stored as abstract syntax trees (ASTs), not text files. This allows for easier version management and avoids many problems associated with traditional version control systems.

2. Simplified Refactoring: Since Unison identifies functions by their content, not name, refactoring becomes simpler and safer. Changing a function automatically propagates to all places of its use.

3. Distributed and Parallel Programming: Unison was initially developed with support for distributed and parallel code execution in mind, making it suitable for cloud computing and high-performance computing systems.

4. Type Safety: Unison's strict type system provides additional reliability and helps prevent common errors during compilation.

5. Simplified Testing: In Unison, tests can be directly linked to functions, simplifying code maintenance and quality assurance.

Areas of application for Unison include, but are not limited to, the following:

- Cloud Application Development: With support for distributed code execution, Unison is well-suited for creating scalable cloud applications.

- Systems Requiring High Reliability: Strict typing and simplified refactoring make Unison an attractive choice for systems where code reliability and safety are important.

- Scientific and Research Projects: For projects requiring complex calculations and distributed data processing, Unison can be useful due to its parallel programming capabilities.

- Education: Unison's unique approach to code management and typing can be useful for educational purposes to teach programming concepts and version control systems.

Thus, Unison offers a range of interesting possibilities that can be useful in various fields of programming, especially where reliability, scalability, and ease of code management are important.

The article "Plonk vs Groth16" compares two ZK-SNARK protocols: Groth16 and Plonk. Even partial reading of it provides an understanding of how zero-knowledge proofs work. The article "Introducing Plonky2", aimed at more practical use, introduces Plonky2 — a recursive SNARK implemented in Polygon.

Program Objective: To provide novice auditors with the opportunity to enhance their qualifications, receive valuable feedback from our team's experienced professionals, and possibly join us on a permanent basis.

What Awaits You?

- Immersion in the world of DeFi projects, learning about fundamental security patterns and Solidity.
- Working with the real tools and processes used by our team.
- The opportunity to write a report on a training project that simulates real working conditions.

Program Stages:

1. Filling out the application form. The initial stage where you will be asked to answer general questions and complete four simple tasks.
2. Two-week task-solving stage. You will solve tasks prepared by our team to demonstrate your skills and knowledge.
3. Technical interview and offer. The best candidates will be invited for a technical interview, after which a training offer may be extended.
4. Three-month paid internship. At this stage, you will work in pairs with other interns, practice on real audits, participate in research, and get acquainted with our team's internal processes.

How to Participate?

Unfortunately, applications for the current cycle have already closed, but we invite you to apply to participate in the third round of the program!
