The reason you haven’t heard a coherent answer to what problems web3 is supposed to solve is because there aren’t any. It’s just a continuation of the past 5-10 years of cryptocurrency pump and dump schemes (which also include ICOs and NFTs). Just a bunch of hot air. As you correctly put it, it’s just a bunch of opportunists making money off of tech-gullible people.
Cryptocurrency bros are hilarious. In one breath they’ll claim the government is evil and they’re building tech to circumvent government control, and in the next they’re threatening people to weaponize the government against them if they don’t fix their massive fuckup.
Because that’s just how Elon does marketing. He also said the Model 3 would have a dashboard that “looks like a spaceship” and instead delivered a slab. Nothing new. It just maybe wasn’t as blatant as now.
Because it is. Getting hit by a pickup truck is much closer to being hit by a semi than by a compact car. Not only the shape is similar, but pickup trucks can be multiple times heavier than cars.
She mentions her vitals returned to normal after moving away, and presumably she took her furniture when she moved, so it seems unlikely it’s caused by that.
Hello, I'm the author of ProSudoku. This is a project I've been working on for a few months (mostly as a lockdown project to keep me busy).
This project has been a journey for me, and I've learned a lot about how sudoku puzzles are created, graded, and solved. I learned about the solving techniques that pros use to solve hard puzzles and I've incorporated them into a step-by-step solver that explains to the player why a move is legal.
I have also implemented my own handwriting recognition model using Apple's turicreate and the EMNIST dataset. The main reason I trained my own model is because I wanted to use the X character as a way to erase numbers, and also because I want to be able to add scratching over a number to clear it (I just need a dataset for that, which I'm working on).
The handwriting recognition also supports inserting pencil notes, and clearing them.
Overall I've had lots of fun working on this, and I hope you can give it a try and let me know what you think. I am already working on improvements, and so feedback will be extremely helpful in making it better.
The same thing happened to me. I was at university loving C but learning Java and hating every minute of it.
One day, with the help of another student, I managed to install Snow Leopard on my Acer notebook and the first thing I wanted to do was figure out how iPhone programming worked. However I was instantly confused at the syntax of the language and that threw me off.
I did try again two more times though, and in the last one it just clicked. That was mid-2012. I dropped out of university for a job opportunity in 2015 and have been an iPhone developer ever since.
As soon as the article mentioned von Däniken in a serious light I stopped reading. von Däniken is a fraud and embezzlement convict and has admitted to fabricating lots of his fantastical stories and has no place in serious scientific research. I should have expected less from a lifestyle magazine, I guess.
Competitors can't compete with them even with standard stuff. Good for them to move forward. It's funny how innovation becomes a "bad" thing when a company you don't like innovates "too much".
Yes it should if the networks he builds have an actual impact on real people because of their social/systemic/institutional status. If he doesn't want to do it, he shouldn't be working on networks that have this kind of impact.
What if you're a nuclear engineer that just wanna make the hot bit go hotter, and don't want to care about the nasty habit that radiation has of killing people?
