Much of work in some companies is Open Sourced.
Once it's posted on Github it'll be folded into the training data for the next *GPT anyway.
Once you realize the underlying technology is a scam, it becomes apparent there's little more than a de-centralized pyramid scheme happening. Stablecoins only exist as a proxy for fake money that was never there in the first place, pumping up the market so people at the top of the pyramid can cash out.
It's 2023. The crypto industry has had almost a decade and a half to prove they can do something people really want or need, and they've failed.
She needs to watch this documentary on blockchain. It lays out how it works and the various false promises it doesn't live up to.
I get that there's money on the line for some people, but still... this tech really doesn't make any sense.
I sold off my collection, around 2014. I made quite a bit of money. I then watched prices skyrocket even more, and after a few years tried to get back into it, but I was absolutely flabbergasted at how predatory Hasbro has been just releasing expansion after expansion. And then adding additional tiers of rarities and other odd things making it more of a speculative commodity than the game knew and loved. I'm so glad I got out when I did. I feel sorry for the people holding huge batches of cards thinking they're going to forever go up in value. They're in for a rude awakening. When you piss off the player base, you undermine the entire value proposition of the whole franchise.
If Facebook really wants to cut costs, they should get rid of most of the managers. The best approach is: Lay off anybody who thought Zuckerberg's vision of the future in VR was a good idea.
Have any of those people seen this documentary on blockchain?
The idea that this tech is in any way an improvement over what has been in use, doesn't seem remotely plausible.
As a software developer, I can't think of a more irresponsible thing, not building in some way to identify if your auto-generated work was attributable to your system.
It just seems like second nature.
We know every printer made embeds hidden pixels.
There's a very good chance Adobe and Microsoft codes unique ID info in every file written by their systems.
That ChatGPT or DAL-E wouldn't do this is laughably unlikely.
This "bitcoin dev" is a real nutjob. Among other things, he's a hardcore religious nut that thinks slavery was "employment" and abortion should be a crime punishable by execution. He has a sordid history of crazy tweets.
As a programmer, I still do not understand why so many people think these inefficient databases provide any real utility?
Another engineer has a documentary coming out on Jan 1 that talks about this. Why isn't the media asking tough questions? Why are the people hyping this "new tech" not actual tech people?
If you think third parties can do whatever they want on private property, PM me so I can post a "Hitler did nothing wrong!" sign in in the front yard of your parents house in whose basement you reside.
There are several new open source projects that we've been using to stop server attacks:
https://github.com/DPsystems/L...
and
https://github.com/DPsystems/w...
The use of these two utilities has stopped 90+% of all my attacks and system probes. It's basically a ipset ipv4 blacklist, works great as a companion to Fail2Ban and takes a ton of stress away from F2B by wholesale blocking certain address ranges (for example, should other server space that aren't authorized web crawlers be able to hit your web server? 99% of that is nefarious)... check out these projects
The Blockchain Chickens Bringing the Future to Free-Range
GoGo Chicken marries free-range poultry with high-tech surveillance. Each bird wears an ankle bracelet that counts its steps as it clucks, squabbles, and roams. The same blockchain ledger used in cryptocurrency transactions tracks information such as the chicken's age, daily step count, and even time of death. Customers who have already pre-purchased a chicken can view all the details on an app.

JD fits each chicken with a specially designed pedometer, with the aim of having each bird take one million steps during the rearing process. The company uses blockchain technology for maximum quality assurance and full traceability. Since early 2018, JD customers have been able to review details about the rearing process for every chicken they buy. A scan of the QR code on the poultryâ(TM)s packaging allows buyers to view detailed information on sourcing, feeding intervals and more
Such chickens cost three times the average, but are still in very high demand - http://chinaplus.cri.cn/news/c...
Liu said, each low income family would receive 100 chicks for free, with a pedometer attached to each of their legs. The chickens must be raised free range, and run at least 1 million steps before meeting JD.com's purchasing standards. They'll then be bought back for more than 100 yuan (14.6 USD).99% of chickens on the Chinese market move less than three meters in their whole life, explained Liu. Compared to the 45 days of raising broiler chickens, the feeding period for the free range birds will be around 160 days. Theyâ(TM)ll also enjoy a diet of fruit and vegetables three times a week. As a result, the prices for the free range chickens will be much higher than broiler chickens. On JD.com, free range birds are sold at 128, 168 and 188 yuan based on their weight, while other chickens are sold for 50 yuan on average.
