These questions are from Notebook LMs Study Guide (link below). Note not all of the questions pertain to topics we have covered thus far.
- What is a UTXO, and how does it relate to a user's Bitcoin balance? What's an alternative ledger model?
- What is the "mempool," and what happens to a transaction when it enters it? Where is the mempool located? Who has control over the mempool?
- Differentiate between a "full node" and a "light node" in a blockchain network. Why would we want to have this distinction?
- New Experiment - Trying out NotebookLM public link here (you need a Google account)
- Notebook LM's podcast link
- Notebook LM limits its knowledge to only the sources its provided. In this manner it won't pull from strange, possibly informal or inaccurate websites that it was trained on. It should only provide an interface for you to interact with the week's materials. Please let Jeff know if you have feedback on this tool and its use in this class.
