Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System One-Liner Bitcoin is an anonymous digital coin that changes hands based on unique cryptographic keys, validated through a decentralized distributed (P2P) ledger that A) is publicly-run by transaction chronology verification from decentralized volunteer compute nodes that solve a “proof-of-work” (proof of this node’s goodwill) in exchange for the coin itself and B) incentivizes actors with malicious intent to support the system because it is more profitable for them to perform A rather than attack it (antifragile).
One-liner This paper studies and confirms the effectiveness of compositionality through human experiments from data generated by gaussian processes regression, supporting it’s case that human learning is inherently compositional. TLDR This paper uses eight carefully designed experiments to probe whether an inductive bias for compositionality exists in human learning Two class of theories around function learning exist: rule-based, parametric, strong inductive bias vs.
