Media: Bitcoin is a crime against humanity !

Soros: We might perhaps possibly own one or two of these...

...

Media: Decentralized finance is so amazing and futuristic!

What can I do to prevent this in the future?

If you are on a personal computer, like at home, you can run a virus scan to make sure it’s not infected with unsanctioned opinions.

I turn on my PC.

The local wildlife are immediately sterilised by the excessive output from my four exposed nuclear reactors running at a critically risky heat output.

The sound of 10,000 cooling fans deafens the city’s morning traffic as my warehouse of 500 parallel-chained AMD Razer Threadrippers bursts into life, forming the equivalent processing power of 2015 in one room.

Nearby, my cluster of Nvidia 5090 Test Cards begins to warp the local time continuum as they calculate answers man was never meant to know.

Very gently, I open Microsoft Teams.

Instantly, the already deafening noise of fans increases to a murderous wail as they try to keep my equipment at operating temperatures. A nuclear reactors’ fusion catches up with its cooling and explodes destroying the lives of millions. The floor begins to melt away as my processors over clocked ten-fold reach critical mass and descend directly into hell. My Nvidia cluster collapses into a singularity and begins to devour the planet.

Quickly now, I open a text chat, it’s a bit laggy.

The sheer struggle of loading some text destroys the remaining systems. Me and my equipment are deleted from reality by an unknown overseer.

Humanity is not ready for instant messaging

no one knows why the annual minting of the coin began, but it is believed to have been an offering to the market gods to ensure a healthy crop of alpha.

This morning around #sunrise I saw this view looking #East (obviously) and it was worth delaying my departure to work for a few minutes to take in this beautiful scene. I particularly like how the vivid colour of the #orange, #pink and #yellow #clouds contrast with the #silhouette of the #trees in the foreground.

If I were to make a book about the most influential theorems of the 1900s, this would definitely make it in the book.

"Approximation by superpositions of a sigmoidal function"

The possible use of signal processing and control applications, is basically the same as deep learning. Later papers show that deep learning is even less limited. But think, all of modern computers and electronics, live in a subset of what machine learning can simulate.

Interesting article from 2600 in 1985, extracted from their "best of" book, about a BBS that got raided by the cops.

@verretor @smartbrain when you start with a false premise there are no ends to the hoops you will need to jump through to justify it. "Safe and effective" was treated like it was a fact from the start.
