As someone working at a very large bank. I strongly disagree.
The bank spun up a new business to experiment with blockchain technology and went hard at it for several years until they recently sidelined those projects...
In favour of AI
The amount of internal hype across all areas of the business (especially in the tech areas of the business) with regards to AI has been frankly stunning to witness.
My speculation on this is that China/Russia/whoever targets ISP's in order to identify people by IP that have come to their attention somehow.
Your credentials aren't the only point of interest, your credentials gives up subscriber information name/email/address/etc. That's pretty valuable from an intelligence standpoint.
You might be surprised to learn that a lot of the world uses polymer banknotes which are siignificantly more durable and last a lot longer than traditional 'paper' based currencies. The are incredibly hard to tear/break and they do not wear out or stretch. We've been using these in Australia since 1996.
Having handled a fair amount of US currency I can say it _feels_ disgusting to handle after a certain amount of wear and often reminds me of a moist tissue. It also doesn't help that visually the notes all look very similar (as opposed to on polymer notes which have significantly different appearances and colours)
Uh. 50,000 Lumens?
That's a lotta lumens.
Which is awesome. But that's also gonna be running at
Imalent MS18 flashlights (which to be fair peak at 100,000 lumens) get well over 120 degrees C in temperature.
Your design seems to have cooling fins. But If it's radiating noticeable amount of heat, I'll only be running it in winter.
Hello. These look great. But a few things that I'd like:
1) The glass does not specify a volume.
2) I'd love a wine-glass, highball and old fashioned style as well.\
3) The Whisky & Spirits Tumbler does say 'lead free crystal' but doesn't specify it's titanium glassware. Is that correct?
Cheers!
>> Speaking with Vince (the administrator of the .ai zone) over WhatsApp, we confirmed that compromising this server would give us full control over any .ai domain:
>> Once administrative access is gained to the CoCCA application, it is possible to control the nameservers for every domain for that ccTLD.
The point is to control domains in a ccTLD. Arbitrary domain hijacking is bad...
Perhaps I should have added how I noticed in the first place. I gave it a block of code with a few nested loops and asked it how many times would it run. For a small number 5 x 5 x 5, it calculated correctly. But for 5000 x 5000 x 5000 it gave the wrong answer.
I'd like to see an integration into wolfram alpha or something. That would be amazing.
Not being able to do simple math is a surprisingly huge bug IMO
Me: 5000 * 5000 * 5000
ChatGPT: The result of 5000 x 5000 x 5000 is 125,000,000,000,000.
Me: 5000 * 5000
ChatGPT: The result of 5000 x 5000 is 25,000,000.
Me: 5000 * 25000000
ChatGPT: The result of 25,000,000 x 5000 is 125,000,000,000.
Integrations with services like wolfram alpha would be nice as well (although shouldn't be necessary to solve basic multiplication)
Uber took over my local airport, a 100$ fare home now costs $200+ when, as you'd expect, a plane load of people call for an Uber all at once. 'Surge pricing'.
Now there's a rank for exactly FIVE (count em FIVE) taxis, a 15 minute walk from the terminal exit and a line a couple hundred meters long for the bus. This isn't a small regional airport. This is the international/domestic airport for a city of 5 million people.
Absolute madness and just another point of frustration I have to endure now when travelling.
This is a surprisingly timely post given the recent "Honest Government Ad | Carbon Credits & Offsets" from JuiceMedia[1].
It's more Australian focused, but it sums it up quite succinctly.
Is there a reason these couldn't be turned more accurately on a lathe?
Never seen anyone do lathe work to make bullets, but it seems like it'd be fairly well suited, especially since silver isn't as soft as lead.
I find reads like this interesting, but I'm discouraged when things like "The Nutex Company made radium condoms." are mentioned but are also not quite right[1].
I have doubts now about how well everything was researched which is a shame because it's an otherwise interesting article.
