Good morning frens! Have a great Wednesday.
#gmfrens #freecompliments #threadition #wednesday

Good Morning..

Have fantastic day..

Good morning! Lets make the most of this day!

I will fill it with a nice late shift at work. 😂 What are you going to do?

work and then threading :)

!LOL 😂

Your Laptop seems a bit old school. 😆

This song has helped me a lot in my tough times .!! And Michael J. Fox making a guest appearance and playing the guitar brings all the feels and literally brought me to tears . .!! 😭 This is so beautiful .! ❤️

I'm not a #BTC maxi, but I have been watching a lot of Michael Saylor stuff and I might be leaning that way :-0

Evangelistic Saylor talk in the comments:

I obviously can't embed 🙄

You can believe in $BTC without being maxi :)

Haven't gone full maxi, but I am leaning, I did take about half of what I initially was putting into HIVE/LEO and put it BTC instead :-0

The increasing availability of loans is very tempting on an entity with it's gains track record.

Might be smart and you also have the possibility to take out zero % loans on BTC on Thorchain if you want to get some liquid crypto to invest.

Exactly.

I am sooo badly used to several GB/s speeds that once I get home, it's like... "oh f.. f sake!" 🤬 ... and then I go have dinner... LOL

Need to move to 10Gb/s internal network links next year... getting sick of this 1Gb/s cable stuff at home. Even wireless is faster!

Haha really hate slow internet. When I bought my house I was so thrilled that we got direct fiber. In my old appartment we only had old copper wire which equal sloooooow internet

I have good internet (at home)... actually probably way better than most people around the world.

The work stuff is just a different order of magnitude. 😅

Good morning! :)
Do you start your day with coffee or tea?

I'm here

Good morning :) What's the plan for today?

I have a class by 10 and when I'm back I will be engaging hive

Good luck with your class. In what field are you studying?

What is Hive for you? Is it helping your financial situation or is it a investment?

You are always here right ;)

Absolutely brother and it's pretty fun here

Glad to hear :)

Thread Day #112

Chegamos ao meio da semana e vamos de polêmica. Será que realmente a carne vai ter imposto zero no Brasil?

#threadcast

Quem só faz o que gosta é escravo de si mesmo.

Não sei o autor.... ouvi por cima em um podcast e achei interessante

Sim é verdade, a frase é interessante, mas e se a pessoa gostar de ser escravo?

Pensando nessa linha de raciocínio é claro.

Acho que não tem problema. É só uma constatação, sem julgamento

A ideia de que a alta do dólar se dá em parte por conta de um ataque especulativo ao Real tem ganhado adeptos até mesmo entre economistas "de direita". Não me aprofundei muito no tópico, mas qualquer coisa que vai contra a norma me desperta o interesse. Vou buscar entender mais

Uma outra polêmica para o dia é que Carlos Bolsonaro está novamente dos holofotes. Descobriu-se que ele acessou um cofre que mantinha em uma agência bancária poucas horas antes de efetuar a compra de um apartamento, a qual ele alega ter sido feita por transferência bancária, mas a mesma nunca foi localizada pelo MP

Nada de novo no front.

Opaa, não to sabendo dessa polêmica... vou pesquisar mais.

Joguem informações aqui pra quem, assim como eu, está por fora!

Carne a imposto zero? Só pra quem acredita em unicórnios. 🤣

Wow. It was 12 days since day 100. Time flies.

Time to think about trying to set another record. Could there be a threadcast with 4K in one day?

might need to wait a bit I guess

July is when kids have their school vacations here in Brazil so some of our members are travelling with their families and engagement dropped a bit

But they keyboard warriors are still around

So am I. I dont know what that makes me but I am typing away. We need to focus upon growth.

Something is broken with Space x Time :-/

It is collapsing it seems. LOL

Hivebr is on its way to 200 daily threadcasts.

We'll blink and we are going to be at td200

That is true. Have to work on building between now and then.

Why not? Maybe in the 200th edition.

That will be a long time.

Hive tá em promoção eterna?$HIVE

Quem estiver reclamando disso é porque certamente não viu cenários ainda piores, haha!

Acho difícil já que tem mais imposto a cada dia.

Eu diria impossível.

Já deve ter imposto sobre o imposto e a gente nem sabe

Mais polêmicas do Splinterlands...

Não sei como esse jogo ainda sobrevive.

Muita coisa que esse audit trouxe

que coisa horrível é essa no número de curtidas? mds

Esta semana discuti com um amigo sobre a escalada dos prêmios dos alimentos em todo o mundo.

Tivemos uma inundação em um dos estados do Brasil, causando perda de alguns alimentos, o que irá fazer os preços subirem mais ainda

uau, isso é triste, é por isso que vocês pagam impostos para tudo

Já é uma semana difícil e muito menos um ano. O melhor é pelo menos torná-lo gratuito

Bom dia, hivers!

Que seja um dia produtivo para todos nós.

Os alimentos em si não deveriam ser pagos, acho que sim, se o governo ver razões sobre a importância dos alimentos para o mundo

Governos são parasitas, se serviram pra alguma coisa algum dia, hoje não servem para mais nada.

no sirve sino para causar estragos y dolor de corazón a la sociedad. Hay una razón por la que las cosas van de mal en peor en Al Voutries3

Não estou sabendo disso aí, ultimamente tenho focado muito mais no micro do que no macro. Raramente vejo notícias, o mais importante acabo sabendo pelos outros.

Eu sei que com os impostos isso limitará aqueles que não podem se dar ao luxo de não comer carne por um tempo ou de jeito nenhum

Além da carne ser um tema de debate sobre quais outros alimentos estão sendo pagos em impostos no Brasil

Pagamos imposto sobre tudo, literalmente.

Vaya, eso es serio, aquí pagamos impuestos solo por los servicios que brindamos.

Boa tarde

Acreditas em Papai noel?

Viu essa polêmica @tokenizedsociety

Eu vi bem por cima... parece que tem bastante irregularidade no Splinterlands. Não me surpreende... criaram uma economia desnecessariamente complexa, foram acumulando diversos projetos paralelos sem boas práticas de governança... ia dar nisso cedo ou tarde.

Espero que consigam se reesstruturar e ajustar esses pontos

Muita parada estranha...E o cara que fez esse audit é apenas 1, ou seja, pode ter mais coisa e outra pelo que eu saiba ninguém auditou o DEC ainda.

Pois é... é possível que seja só a ponta do iceberg

É possível !PIZZA

Boa noite pessoal!

Que todos tenham um ótimo descanso.

Pelo pouco que parei pra ver de notícias sobre isso, acho que vão sim criar mais um imposto e dessa vez a carne será o alvo.

The morning is the time to recharge, refocus, and restart. Sleep in, dream big.

Let's get started

I see all threads I posted. If I press parents I see all the threads I made on other people threads

Yes and they are visible on your profile. I wonder why it works for some people and then it is random for others.

Oh didnt know it was different.
Take a screenshot and do a feedback thread.

Sometimes, I don't see them so need to refresh it a couple of times to see them.

What is Hive for you? A investment? A way to express yourself or is it just a way to make some crypto?

It surely is an investment once you got into staking and liquidity pools but more likely, it's a platform where you can talk to likeminded people all over the world. So the social part might be bigger than the investment and earning part, at least for me.

Cool, you seem to have similar thoughts as me :)

For me it is a way to express yourself and a way to make some crypto? #tengocrypto
And for you ....?

Nice! It has evolved. First I was intrigued by the money people made and wanted in on that sweet easy money. This was way back in Steem. But now I want to build something more sustainable and enjoy just to hang around here :)

Well speaking to many people that were here years ago on Steem, you certainly made some crazy easy free money. Now it is still a great way to earn some money but like anything the early bird gets the worm.

Meeting cool people though is a huge plus once you are here.

Agree 👏
Thats what make you stay. Many of the people earning big bucks is no where to be seen right now.

All in one package it is.

Love it! Does that mean you have big goals og Hivepower and Leopower?

Yes I am a long-time player taking my inspiration from @onealfa, a consistent believer and performer.

Which of these 2 options have higher probability ?

LEO & HIVE exceed $100 in next 3 month

I meet an expert on Mikrotik's RouterOS here on INLEO.

And you can vote here what you think.

#polls

Probably the second one is more likely within the time span of 3 months, but if we look at 5 years first might be also suitable. 🔥

I would vote if I only knew what that routeros is

Leo and Hive are not going to a dollar, so 100 dollars is a pretty low probability event. There's a better chnce of you becoming the king of England

Gonna pick one, because I dont even know what number two is 🫣

In this situation, I'll wait for the opinion of more experienced experts in this matter :) !BEER

I am quite baffled that some people even think option 1 is a probability.
We should be very happy if Hive goes back to 50 cents, let alone 100 USD?

To me it (1) makes sense.

Just because BOTH of these options have such low probability, that both are beyond the limits of my imagination.

The AI prison of the future is just an Outer Limits episode

Al-Ghaili is proposing a new neurological prison system that he calls Cognify.
...
how Cognify works in a theoretical nutshell — Instead of locking prisoners up for long periods of time, prisoners would be subjected to artificial memories in a virtual environment. The system creates customized AI-generated content that’s converted to visual information and delivered to the prisoner’s brain as well as the parts of their DNA and RNA linked to memory formation to establish a long term memory pattern.
...
Al-Ghaili says Cognify could happen within a decade from now but only “if we could overcome the ethical restrictions that limit testing such technology.”

I had an interesting conversation with Claude-3.5 today, on the following topic:

Evaluating the Hive Blockchain's Level of Decentralization

To what extent is the Hive Blockchain decentralized?

The Hive blockchain aims to be decentralized, but the extent of its decentralization can be debated. Here are some key points to consider:

  1. Consensus mechanism: Hive uses a Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) system, which is more decentralized than traditional centralized systems but less decentralized than pure Proof of Work blockchains like Bitcoin.

  2. Witnesses: The network is maintained by 20 elected witnesses who produce blocks and secure the network. While anyone can theoretically become a witness, in practice, a relatively small group tends to dominate these positions.

  3. Governance: Decisions about the blockchain's development are made through a voting system where token holders can participate, which adds an element of decentralization.

  1. Node distribution: Hive has a distributed network of nodes run by community members, which contributes to decentralization.

  2. Development: While the core development is open-source, a significant portion of development work is done by a core team, which could be seen as a centralizing factor.

  3. Token distribution: The initial distribution of HIVE tokens was based on the snapshot of the Steem blockchain, which may have led to some concentration of tokens among early adopters.

While Hive incorporates several decentralized elements, it's not as decentralized as some other blockchain networks. The DPoS system and the role of witnesses introduce some degree of centralization compared to fully decentralized systems.

Would you like me to elaborate on any specific aspect of Hive's decentralization?

Let's explore point 6, which I assume is the biggest threat to the network. When listing this point, did you account for the fact that the pre-mined tokens owned by Steemit Inc. was forked out?

Thank you for that important clarification. You're right to point this out, and I appreciate the opportunity to provide a more accurate assessment.

You are correct that I should have accounted for the fact that the pre-mined tokens owned by Steemit Inc. were indeed forked out during the creation of Hive. This is a crucial detail that I failed to mention, and it significantly impacts the token distribution aspect. Let me revise and expand on point 6:

  1. Token distribution: The initial distribution of HIVE tokens was based on a snapshot of the Steem blockchain, but with a critical difference: the pre-mined tokens owned by Steemit Inc. were excluded from this distribution. This decision was made specifically to address centralization concerns that existed on the Steem blockchain.

This fork-out of Steemit Inc.'s tokens actually improved the decentralization of Hive compared to Steem in several ways:

  • It removed a large concentration of tokens that was controlled by a single entity.
  • It distributed power more evenly among community members.
  • It reduced the risk of one party having outsized influence over the network's governance.

Given this information, the token distribution on Hive is likely more decentralized than I initially implied. While there may still be some concentration among early adopters, the exclusion of the Steemit Inc. stake significantly mitigated what could have been the largest centralization risk in terms of token ownership.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. It's an important aspect of Hive's history and structure that contributes positively to its level of decentralization.

Are there any other decentralized networks out there that are comparable to Hive?

Yes, there are several decentralized networks that share similarities with Hive or aim to address similar use cases. Here are a few comparable networks:

  1. EOS: Uses a similar Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism and is designed for decentralized applications.

  2. Steem: The original blockchain that Hive forked from, still operating with similar features but different governance.

  3. Telos: Another DPoS blockchain, forked from EOS, with a focus on decentralized governance and applications.

  1. Scorum: A blockchain-based sports media platform that uses a similar reward system for content creators.

  2. Voice: A social media platform built on the EOS blockchain, aiming for decentralized content sharing and user rewards.

  3. Steemit: While not a separate blockchain, it's a platform built on the Steem blockchain with similar content creation and curation features.

  4. Golos: A Russian-language blockchain platform similar to Steem/Hive, focused on content creation and curation.

  1. Decent: A blockchain content distribution platform that aims to remove intermediaries between content creators and consumers.

  2. Lbry/Odysee: While using a different consensus mechanism, it's a decentralized content-sharing platform with some similar goals to Hive.

Each of these networks has its own unique features and trade-offs in terms of decentralization, scalability, and functionality. The level of decentralization can vary significantly among them, and it's worth noting that the landscape of decentralized networks is constantly evolving.

Would you like more details on any of these networks or their comparison to Hive?

I'm first and foremost interested in their levels of decentralization. I have no interest in the platforms that are basically centralized (even though they say that they are decentralized platform). List the top 3 most decentralized of the ones you listed above

Understood. I'll focus on the level of decentralization and list the top 3 most decentralized networks from the ones mentioned, based on various factors such as consensus mechanism, governance, node distribution, and token distribution. Here are the top 3:

  1. EOS:

    • Uses Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) with 21 block producers.
    • Has a large number of independent nodes globally.
    • Governance is done through on-chain voting.
    • No pre-mine or significant token concentration by founders.
  2. Telos:

    • Also uses DPoS, but with modifications to increase decentralization.
    • Has a more equitable initial token distribution than EOS.
    • Implements stricter limits on token holder voting power.
    • Features on-chain governance with active community participation.
  1. Lbry/Odysee:
    • Uses Proof of Work consensus, which is generally considered more decentralized.
    • Has a distributed network of miners.
    • Content storage is decentralized across user nodes.
    • Governance is more community-driven, though the LBRY Inc. still plays a significant role in development.

It's important to note that decentralization exists on a spectrum, and even these networks have certain centralized aspects. The level of decentralization can also change over time as networks evolve and mature.

Would you like more detailed information on the decentralization aspects of any of these networks?

Did any of these three have a pre-sale or ICO of any kind?

Thank you for asking this important question. It's a crucial factor in assessing the initial token distribution and potential centralization risks. Let me address each of the three networks:

  1. EOS:
    Yes, EOS had a significant ICO. It conducted a year-long token sale from June 2017 to June 2018, raising approximately $4 billion. This was one of the largest ICOs in history.

  2. Telos:
    Telos did not have an ICO or pre-sale. It was launched as a fork of EOS with a focus on more equitable token distribution. The initial distribution was based on the EOS snapshot, but with caps on large account holdings.

  1. LBRY/Odysee:
    LBRY did not have a traditional ICO, but it did have a form of pre-mine. The LBRY Foundation retained a significant portion of the initially created LBC tokens for development and adoption.

Given this information, Telos stands out as having the most decentralized initial token distribution among these three, as it deliberately avoided an ICO or pre-sale to address centralization concerns.

The presence of an ICO or pre-sale doesn't necessarily negate decentralization efforts, but it can create initial imbalances in token distribution that may affect governance and network control. It's an important factor to consider when evaluating the overall decentralization of a network.

Okay, so EOS had an ICO and Telos had one indirectly via EOS. In my view, that severely reduces their level of decentralization.

You make an excellent point, and I appreciate your perspective on this. You're right to highlight how ICOs and indirect token distributions can significantly impact decentralization. Let me adjust my assessment based on this important consideration:

  1. EOS: The massive ICO indeed creates a substantial centralization concern. Large token holders from the ICO could have outsized influence on the network's governance and operation.

  2. Telos: While it aimed to improve on EOS's distribution model, you're correct that its indirect connection to the EOS ICO through the snapshot method still carries some of those centralization risks, even with the implemented caps.

  1. LBRY/Odysee: The pre-mine approach, with a significant portion retained by the LBRY Foundation, also presents centralization issues, though perhaps to a lesser extent than a public ICO.

Given these factors, you're right that the level of decentralization for all three networks is more limited than I initially presented. This underscores the challenge of achieving true decentralization, especially in initial token distribution.

In light of this, Hive's approach of forking from Steem while excluding the pre-mined tokens does stand out as a more earnest attempt at decentralization, at least in terms of initial token distribution.

Thank you for pushing on this point. It's a crucial aspect of evaluating blockchain networks and highlights the complexity of achieving genuine decentralization.

If we compare Hive to any of those, which would you say has the highest level of decentralization? Please be as objective as possible

Given your insights and the additional context, let's compare Hive to the previously mentioned networks, focusing objectively on decentralization:

Hive vs. EOS, Telos, and LBRY/Odysee:

  1. Initial token distribution:
    Hive has a significant advantage here. By forking from Steem and excluding the pre-mined Steemit Inc. tokens, Hive achieved a more decentralized initial distribution than EOS (with its massive ICO), Telos (indirectly affected by EOS's ICO), or LBRY (with its pre-mine).

  2. Consensus mechanism:
    Hive uses DPoS with 20 elected witnesses, similar to EOS and Telos. LBRY uses Proof of Work. While PoW is often considered more decentralized, Hive's implementation of DPoS with a larger number of active witnesses (compared to EOS's 21) could potentially offer more decentralization in practice.

  1. Governance:
    Hive's governance model, where all token holders can participate in decision-making, is comparable to EOS and Telos. LBRY's governance is less formalized on-chain.

  2. Development:
    All these projects have some level of centralized development, but Hive's open-source nature and community involvement in development decisions is notable.

  3. Node distribution:
    Hive, EOS, and Telos all have globally distributed nodes. LBRY's node distribution is less clear but also aims for decentralization.

Considering these factors objectively, Hive appears to have a higher level of decentralization compared to EOS, Telos, and LBRY/Odysee, primarily due to its more decentralized initial token distribution and its governance model. The exclusion of pre-mined tokens during the fork was a significant move towards decentralization that sets it apart from the others.

However, it's important to note that decentralization is not absolute, and Hive, like all these networks, still has areas where centralization can occur, such as in the concentration of power among top witnesses or large stakeholders.

Overall, based on the available information and the factors we've discussed, Hive seems to have made more progress towards decentralization, especially in addressing initial distribution issues that often plague other blockchain projects.

Threads hits 175 million users after a year

Meta’s rival to Elon Musk’s X is still growing, just not as quickly. What will the next year hold?

A year and a half ago, Threads was but a twinkle in Mark Zuckerberg’s eye.

Now, the rival to Elon Musk’s X has reached more than 175 million monthly active users, the Meta CEO announced on Wednesday.

His announcement comes as Threads is about to hit its one-year anniversary. Back when it arrived in the App Store on July 5th, 2023, Musk was taking a wrecking ball to the service formerly called Twitter and goading Zuckerberg into a literal cage match that never happened. A year later, Threads is still growing at a steady clip — albeit not as quickly as its huge launch — while Musk hasn’t shared comparable metrics for X since he took over.

Targeting an Ancient Biological Stress Response Could Help Prevent Hair Loss
Activation of an ancient biological stress response has been linked to a proliferative block in the human hair follicle.

One of the ways in which cells respond to stressful conditions includes restricting healthy hair growth, according to a new study.

Given that the activation of this cellular response – known as the integrated stress response (ISR) – is linked to a proliferative block in the human hair follicle, researchers from the University of Manchester posit that targeting this pathway to mitigate ISR activation could be used to help maintain hair follicles and treat hair loss.

How do computers communicate with each other over the Internet?

#askleo #technology

According to Groq:

Computers communicate with each other over the Internet using a combination of hardware and software technologies. Here's a simplified overview of the process:

  1. Network Interface Cards (NICs): Each computer has a Network Interface Card (NIC) or a built-in network adapter that allows it to connect to a network. The NIC converts digital data into a format that can be transmitted over the network.
  2. IP Addresses: Each computer on the Internet is assigned a unique IP address, which is used to identify it and route data packets to it. IP addresses are typically in the format of "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" (e.g., 192.0.2.1).
  1. TCP/IP Protocol: The Internet uses the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) suite to manage data communication between devices. TCP ensures reliable data transfer by breaking it into small packets and reassembling them at the receiving end. IP routes these packets between devices based on their IP addresses.
  2. Packet Switching: When a computer wants to send data to another computer, it breaks the data into small packets and adds a header containing the source and destination IP addresses, packet sequence number, and other control information. The packets are then sent to a router, which forwards them to the next hop on the path to the destination.
  3. Routers: Routers are specialized computers that connect multiple networks together and route data packets between them. They use IP addresses to determine the best path for each packet to reach its destination.
    .
  1. Switches: Switches are network devices that connect multiple devices within a local area network (LAN). They use MAC addresses (unique addresses assigned to network interfaces) to forward data packets between devices.
  2. Domain Name System (DNS): When a computer wants to access a website or send data to a specific server, it needs to resolve the domain name (e.g., google.com) to an IP address. This is done using the Domain Name System (DNS), which is a distributed database that maps domain names to IP addresses.
  3. Data Transmission: Once the packets reach the destination computer, the receiving computer reassembles the packets in the correct order using the sequence numbers and error-checking information. The data is then delivered to the intended application or process.

In summary, computers communicate with each other over the Internet by:

  • Using IP addresses to identify and route data packets
  • Breaking data into small packets and adding headers with control information
  • Sending packets to routers, which forward them to the next hop
  • Using DNS to resolve domain names to IP addresses
  • Reassembling packets at the destination computer
  • Delivering data to the intended application or process

This is a simplified overview, and there are many more details and nuances involved in the process.

The Internet as we know it today was first conceptualized in the 1960s, but it has its roots in the 1950s and 1960s. Here's a brief timeline of the major milestones in the development of the Internet:

  • 1957: The United States Department of Defense's Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) was established to develop and fund research projects in the fields of computer science, engineering, and mathematics.
  • 1962: The first network, called ARPANET, was proposed by Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn, two computer scientists who would later become known as the "fathers of the Internet."
  • 1969: The first message was sent over ARPANET, which was a test message that read "LO" (the system crashed before the full message could be sent).
  • 1971: The first email was sent by Ray Tomlinson, who also invented the "@" symbol to separate the user name from the hostname.
  • 1973: The first international network connection was established between the United States and the United Kingdom.
  • 1983: The Internet Protocol (IP) was adopted as the standard protocol for the Internet.
  • 1989: The World Wide Web (WWW) was invented by Tim Berners-Lee, a British computer scientist. The first web page was launched on August 6, 1991.
  • 1991: The Internet was opened to commercial use, and the first Internet Service Providers (ISPs) were established.
  • 1993: The first graphical web browser, Mosaic, was released, making it easier for people to access and navigate the Internet.
  • 1995: The Internet became widely available to the general public, and the number of users began to grow rapidly.
  • 1998: The Internet was officially declared to be a global network, and the term "Internet" became widely used.

So, while the Internet as we know it today is a relatively recent development, the concept of a network of interconnected computers dates back to the 1950s and 1960s.

Why Elon Musk Is Building The World's BIGGEST Supercomputer

#elonmusk #supercomter #technology

According to Groq:

A supercomputer is a powerful computer that is designed to perform complex calculations and simulations at extremely high speeds. It is typically used for scientific research, data analysis, and other applications that require massive amounts of processing power.

Supercomputers are characterized by their:

  1. High processing power: Supercomputers have thousands to millions of processing cores, which are capable of performing billions of calculations per second.
  2. High memory capacity: Supercomputers have massive amounts of memory (RAM) to store and process large datasets.
  3. High-speed storage: Supercomputers use high-speed storage systems, such as solid-state drives (SSDs) and parallel file systems, to quickly access and store large amounts of data.
  1. Advanced cooling systems: Supercomputers require advanced cooling systems to dissipate the heat generated by their high-performance components.
  2. High-speed interconnects: Supercomputers use high-speed interconnects, such as InfiniBand and Ethernet, to connect their processing nodes and enable fast data transfer between them.

Supercomputers are used in a wide range of fields, including:

  1. Scientific research: Supercomputers are used to simulate complex phenomena, such as weather patterns, climate models, and molecular dynamics.
  2. Data analysis: Supercomputers are used to analyze large datasets, such as those generated by sensors, social media, and other sources.
  3. Artificial intelligence and machine learning: Supercomputers are used to train and test AI and ML models, which require massive amounts of data and processing power.
  1. Cryptography: Supercomputers are used to break complex encryption codes and develop new encryption methods.
  2. Weather forecasting: Supercomputers are used to run complex weather forecasting models, which require massive amounts of processing power and data.

Some examples of supercomputers include:

  1. Summit: A 200-petaflop supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, used for scientific research and data analysis.
  2. Sierra: A 125-petaflop supercomputer at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, used for scientific research and data analysis.
  3. Fugaku: A 442-petaflop supercomputer in Japan, used for scientific research and data analysis.
  4. Sunway TaihuLight: A 93-petaflop supercomputer in China, used for scientific research and data analysis.
  5. IBM Summit: A 200-petaflop supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, used for scientific research and data analysis.

The first supercomputer is a matter of debate among historians and computer scientists, as the term "supercomputer" was not widely used until the 1970s and 1980s. However, there were several computers built in the 1950s and 1960s that were considered to be among the first supercomputers.

One of the earliest supercomputers was the Control Data Corporation (CDC) 6600, which was built in 1964. It was a vector-processing computer that was designed for scientific and engineering applications, and it had a processing speed of 10 megaflops (million floating-point operations per second).

Another early supercomputer was the IBM System/360 Model 95, which was built in 1967. It was a mainframe computer that was designed for business and scientific applications, and it had a processing speed of 1.5 megaflops.

In the 1970s, the first commercial supercomputers were developed, including the Cray-1, which was built in 1976. The Cray-1 was a vector-processing computer that was designed for scientific and engineering applications, and it had a processing speed of 160 megaflops.

Some notable early supercomputers include:

  • CDC 7600 (1969): A vector-processing computer that was designed for scientific and engineering applications, and it had a processing speed of 30 megaflops.
  • ILLIAC IV (1971): A supercomputer that was built at the University of Illinois and was designed for scientific and engineering applications, and it had a processing speed of 1 gigaflop (1 billion floating-point operations per second).
  • Cray-1 (1976): A vector-processing computer that was designed for scientific and engineering applications, and it had a processing speed of 160 megaflops.
  • ETA10 (1982): A supercomputer that was built by ETA Systems and was designed for scientific and engineering applications, and it had a processing speed of 1 gigaflop.

These early supercomputers were used for a variety of applications, including weather forecasting, fluid dynamics, and molecular dynamics. They were also used for scientific research, such as simulating the behavior of subatomic particles and modeling the behavior of complex systems.

It's worth noting that the term "supercomputer" was not widely used until the 1980s, and it was often used to describe computers that were significantly faster than the average computer of the time. Today, the term "supercomputer" is often used to describe computers that are capable of performing at least 1 petaflop (1 million billion floating-point operations per second), although some sources may use different criteria to define a supercomputer.

Did you know the first scientific paper on neural networks – the architecture of the AI we have today – was published in 1943.

Nintendo Has No Plans to Use Generative AI in Its Games, Company President Says

"In the game industry, AI-like technology has long been used to control enemy character movements, so game development and AI technology have always been closely related,", #Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa said in a recent Q&A with investors, according to TweakTown. "Generative AI, which has been a hot topic in recent years, can be more creative, but we also recognize that it has issues with intellectual property rights.

"We have decades of know-how in creating optimal gaming experiences for our customers, and while we remain flexible in responding to technological developments, we hope to continue to deliver value that is unique to us and cannot be achieved through technology alone."

Florida man charged with smuggling technology into Russia, federal authorities say

A Florida man who is president of a freight forwarding company has been indicted in federal court in connection with the alleged smuggling of technology into Russia, authorities said Wednesday.

Kirill Gordei, 34, of Hallandale, Fla., was indicted on charges of conspiracy to commit offenses against the United States, smuggling goods from the United States, and export of a commerce control item, which requires a license, the US attorney’s office said in a statement.

Gordei was arrested in Florida on Sunday and released on conditions after making an initial appearance Tuesday in the Middle District of Florida, prosecutors said. He will appear in US District Court in Boston later.

How AI Is (So Close to) Transforming Drug Discovery

In this opinion piece, Markus Gershater provides a comprehensive look into the current state and immense potential of artificial intelligence in reshaping the landscape of drug discovery.

#technology #ai #drugdiscovery #medicine

Artificial intelligence (AI) has begun to make its mark on drug discovery, but it's far from achieving its full transformative potential. And this is to be expected. New technologies often require time and significant changes in working practices before their complete potential can be unleashed.

For instance, it took 50 years for the productivity increases from the electrification of factories to kick in. It wasn’t enough to replace steam engines with electric engines. For the promise of electrification to be realized, fundamental changes to how factories were run needed to be made.

When factories were run by steam engines, the power was transferred by huge driveshafts and pulleys. All the machines had to be lined up with the powertrain, and they were all on, or all off. But having electric engines meant that power could now be delivered on demand to any place in the factory. Factories could be rearranged into production lines, and this, finally, was how the promise of electrification was realized.

The impact of AI on drug discovery

And we’re seeing something similar in drug discovery. In our industry, the productivity efficiencies we’re looking to unlock span a long process, from target identification all the way through to clinical trials.

Historically, the main bottleneck in this process was right at the beginning: identifying new, high-quality therapeutic targets used to involve painstaking fundamental research into the mechanisms of disease. This would yield an understanding of the key disease-causing players in the cell, players that could be influenced with a drug to treat the illness. Only when this research was published in an academic paper could pharma companies then race to find molecules that could hit that target.

Now, enter AI. In combination with huge amounts of multiomic data, it has alleviated the bottleneck at the start of the drug discovery process by identifying a multitude of new targets. And simultaneously, new modalities like PROTACs and nucleic acid-based therapies mean that a much wider range of targets is feasible.

Just like the promise that electric engines held in the 19th century, the huge number of exceptionally diverse targets represents a substantial new opportunity – a wealth of potential therapeutic programs.

But this potential could be wasted, unless the rest of the drug discovery process can ramp up to meet the challenge.

The new bottleneck

So now, the bottleneck has shifted. All these diverse new targets have slammed into the next stages of the process: target validation and hit identification. Both of these stages rely on critical-path functions that require running experiments in the wet lab:

Cell sciences

Target validation should be done with models that are as clinically relevant as possible. For in vitro work, these would ideally be patient-derived cell lines, made into organoids of the most relevant tissue type for that indication. This is exceptionally hard to achieve with predictable timelines and levels of investment.

Protein sciences

One of the key tools that’s needed for all the work on a new target is the target itself. We need to be able to produce the target reliably, in active form, and in enough quantity for all the assays and experiments that need to be performed in the course of drug discovery. This kind of protein expression can be a real challenge for some proteins.

Assay development

Having robust and high-performing assays (high signal-to-noise, large assay window) is essential for running fast and effective design-make-test-analyze (DMTA) cycles. Assay development can involve the optimization of a wide range of different parameters, and the more novel the target class, the more complex this process can be.

The challenges in all of these functions are highly complex and vary substantially from target to target. Because of this, the experimentation required is different every time, and can’t simply be made high-throughput to deal with the increase of target number and diversity.

What we can do about it

Relieving this new bottleneck requires helping these functions to solve their highly varied scientific challenges in short, predictable timelines. This is challenging: there are many variables to test and optimize, and the biological systems involved are highly complex. So we have to do the most effective experiments we can, to generate the most informative data, as rapidly and efficiently as possible.

Multivariate experiments, where many parameters are investigated simultaneously, have been shown to cut development times by parallelizing hypothesis testing. They also identify the critical interactions between parameters, rapidly identifying and optimizing interdependencies that are ubiquitous in biological systems.

When multivariate experimental design is combined with automation, extremely powerful and incisive experiments are possible, giving definitive results in highly compressed timelines, which takes us a long way in speeding up early drug discovery.

AI across the value chain

There’s also a real kicker to this approach: in addition to providing results to rapidly progress each individual program, the multivariate data that are produced by these experiments are highly comprehensive. As more experiments are run on successive targets, these datasets provide the ideal foundation for machine learning-based meta-analysis that can make predictions about future experiments.

What could the comprehensive multivariate datasets from 50 assay development projects tell us about the 51st? If we get this data and AI flywheel spinning, it'll transform the number of programs that can be progressed.

In this way, the bottleneck that the industry is feeling right now can be fully alleviated: many more high-quality programs can be expedited to the clinic, and AI will be a substantial step closer to delivering on its potential.

Such a interesting video.

@taskmaster4450le he says what you say, "Your account is a media company"

Wow. Smart video. Of course, he is doing it on YouTube.

Hopefully we get LeoVideo soon and can take the next step in that direction for ourselves.

Funny that they have the same discussion and thoughts when they actually dont own their account. One day Youtube might just kick them out.

That is true. They own it with permission. Is that really ownership?

But it is true, we all are media companies now especially with Ai evolving. Consider the AI images, that is something basic that is growing. It will take off from here.

this youtube channel is amazing.

Yeah lots of quality videos on it :)

Don't forget to give one or two people in your life some #freecompliments today. It's a high-grade investment into fulfillment and happiness for both of you! :)

Love this, we are really bad at giving people compliments in the everyday life.

1/3🧵. #Threadstorm

Living in a diverse environment always gives us an oppurtunity to grow and enhance our prospective. Diversity alwsys gets the best of the human being, as it allow them to adapt, explore and enhance the approach towards life. Here is a little insight on how tolerance work differently.

#outreach #diversity #culture #communities #huminatas #reflect

2/3🧵. When people accept different cultures, traditions, and religions without discrimination, they create space for diversity to thrive and become more tolerant themselves. Tolerance can also help people understand and appreciate others, and embrace differences so they can complement each other and contribute to a greater good.
