Voy a subir 100 aportes, 🤣 No se cómo fue, pero me vino la idea de subir 100 reseñas de películas con su ficha. Supongo que me cuesta tanto publicar, que de esta forma voy publicando más seguido. También me atrae la idea de hacer algo que nadie ha hecho en Hive.
Over the past 4 years, the U.S. job market has seen overall recovery with fluctuations. This recent spike shows native job gains outpacing foreign-born growth—likely reflecting shifts in policy and economic factors at play
Policy tweaks like tighter immigration rules and enhanced domestic workforce incentives, along with economic recovery efforts such as tax incentives, have likely contributed to the native job gains outpacing foreign-born growth
My girlfriend went a little too crazy with the presents this year. 😂
Very old, expensive Magic the Gathering Trading cards, my favourite sold out limited Adidas shoes and alot more! 🎉 🤩
What if, and think about this, what if... we, pre-cut ham to roughly the same size as those cheese squares? You could make a sandwich in a minute, instead of hours.
Nah, there's some fuckery afoot from my understanding, or was at one point in time recently. That's what happens when you do something better than the OG's that actually get paid by the DHF and have top 20 witnesses and they try to punish you for doing better than they ever could, lol.

Feliz jueves comunidad, que sea un gran día par todos y que cada una de sus actividades planificadas para hoy salgan muy bien, además seguir avanzando y construyendo en este gran ecosistema de hive.
I am super excited to announce the launch of my Auther website. I was going to wait at the video trailer is not there yet, but everything else is a go.
You're welcome! Very smooth and cool site. Why don't we have sites like that on web3? 😥 I have a feeling some devs couldn't care a less about UI, UX...
@taskmaster4450le is unbeatable and unstoppable. I stopped yesterday due to resource credits. Look forward for some delegation to keep feeding. @bradleyarrow if you could be generous like always 😊
Need to stake more $HIVE. That's what gives you the resource credits. People forget InLeo is just a second layer front end on Hive, as much as LEO helps in this community, you still have to have the Layer 1 token staked.
Intel's current state is a far cry from its former glory, with the company barely ranking in the top 10 CPUs sold on Amazon. The launch of their new Aerol Lake CPUs has been met with lukewarm interest, and the company's valuation has tanked, with a 60% decline over the past 5 years. The video explores the reasons behind Intel's downfall, including poor leadership decisions, lack of innovation, and stagnation in their fabrication process.

Amid declining liquidity and valuation pressures in Web3, revenue is re-emerging as a critical focus, pushing projects to adopt transactional fee models over speculative token launches. Industry leaders like Uniswap sustain consistent fees, while infrastructure providers like Polymarket and MetaMask generate significant revenue from transaction volumes, with some, like Ronin and Kaito, experimenting with token buybacks to tie value to cash flow.
A trader used high leverage to build a massive ETH long position on Hyperliquid, then strategically withdrew collateral to trigger liquidation, offloading risk onto the HLP vault while hedging elsewhere for profit. The result: a $1.8M gain for the trader and a $4M loss for HLP, exposing vulnerabilities in liquidity mechanics rather than an outright exploit.
Acquiring new users in crypto is increasingly challenging due to market saturation with over 8,700 L1s and 5,200 L2s, fragmented global audiences, trust issues stemming from premature technology, and 415 Bitcoin “death” headlines, as evidenced by declining Google search trends for “crypto.” Developers are overcoming these barriers through personalized onboarding, coordinated marketing across stakeholders, consistent messaging, and storytelling to engage users, helping founders cut through attention fragmentation.

This investment, MGX's first in blockchain, aims to support blockchain innovation and solidify Binance's role in the global digital finance ecosystem.
Inference is a far more diverse workload compared to training - performance is predominantly determined by memory capacity, memory bandwidth, and compute - which of these is prioritized is heavily dependent on a model's architecture, parameter count, hosting location, and target audience.
The excitement around AI's potential contributions to mathematics doesn't always come with a nuanced understanding of what mathematics truly is and isn't. This post attempts to articulate these differences and hopefully build a bridge for better collaboration. Most mathematicians are not interested in AI creating new mathematics, but in processing and organizing existing knowledge. Even if AI was able to produce a proof of a major conjecture, it would fail to deliver the deeper understanding that mathematicians truly seek.
It was clear when Apple announced Apple Intelligence that some of its features were more ambitious than others. Apple hinted strongly that the various features wouldn't all ship at the same time - the more trivial features would ship first. Its more ambitious features have been delayed until sometime 'in the coming year'. Apple appears to have pitched a story that wasn't true and set a course based on that.
Canadian startup General Fusion has created plasma inside its prototype reactor, a major milestone in proving its technology. The company uses technology that dates back to the 1970s - details are available in the article. The prototype is now forming plasmas daily - the next step is to compress the plasmas with a lithium liner to create fusion and heating from compression. The company hopes it will achieve scientific break-even equivalent by 2026.
Lip-Bu Tan will become the CEO of Intel on March 18. Former CEO Pat Gelsinger was booted from the position on December 2 after several quarters of losses, rounds of layoffs, and canceled or spun-off side projects. Tan was previously on Intel's board from 2022 to 2024 and has been a board member for several other technology and chip manufacturing companies. Intel reported a loss of $18.76 billion in 2024, its first annual loss since 1986.
Branchless Programming: Why "If" is Slow and What We Can Do About It
The video discusses branchless programming, a technique to minimize or reduce the number of branches in code, which can improve performance. A branch in programming occurs when the CPU has more than one path to take, and the CPU tries to guess which path to load, leading to potential slow downs. The speaker provides examples of branchless programming in C++ and assembly, demonstrating how to convert a string of ASCII characters to uppercase without using branches. The video also explores the use of SIMD instructions, such as AVX, to further improve performance.
The Pentium Pro was a significant improvement over its predecessor, the Pentium, with its integrated level two cache, dual integer pipelines, and 64-bit data bus. Released in 1995, it was intended to replace the original Pentium but was limited to server and high-end desktop markets due to low yields and high prices. The CPU's unique design, with the level two cache inside the CPU package, made it larger than its predecessor and pushed Intel's manufacturing technology to its limits.
Google's Gemma 3: A Game-Changer for AI Developers
Google just dropped Gemma 3, an open-source AI that runs on a single GPU and can handle a massive 128K token context window. That’s like remembering an entire book’s worth of text at once. Perfect for devs building AI that needs to run efficiently across different environments. If you’re working with AI models, this one’s worth checking out.
when apple announced apple intelligence, they made it sound like a game-changer. but now, the most ambitious features are delayed indefinitely, with only the simpler ones coming first. apple hinted at this early on, but the way they framed it made it seem like a smoother rollout than reality suggests. did they overpromise? or were they just vague enough to manage expectations? either way, the hype might not match what we actually get.
Fusion Breakthrough: General Fusion Hits a Key Milestone
General Fusion just pulled off a big step toward practical nuclear fusion—they created plasma inside their prototype reactor for the first time. This tech has roots in the 1970s, but now they’re forming plasmas daily. Next up: compressing them with a liquid lithium liner to generate fusion energy. If all goes well, they’re aiming for scientific break-even by 2026.
Google’s Data Centers Just Got a Major Battery Upgrade
Google swapped out old lead-acid batteries for 100 million lithium-ion cells in its data centers. These new batteries hold twice the power and take up half the space, freeing up room for more servers. The shift slashes the number of backup cells by 75%—a game-changer for efficiency. Meanwhile, Panasonic has shipped over 10 billion lithium-ion cells from its Nevada factory since 2015. Batteries aren’t just for EVs—they’re reshaping entire industries.
Lip-Bu Tan takes over as Intel’s CEO on March 18, picking up the pieces after Pat Gelsinger’s exit in December. Gelsinger got the boot after Intel’s rough 2024—$18.76 billion in losses, layoffs, and scrapped projects. Tan, who served on Intel’s board from 2022 to 2024, brings deep chip industry experience. Now, he’s got the tough job of turning things around.

The customizable system ensures high-quality, consistent results without losing creative freedom. It's the tool developers have been waiting for to streamline production and scale projects with ease.
Nvidia Dominates AI Training, but Inference Is Still Up for Grabs
Nvidia crushed the AI training game, but inference? That’s a different beast. Unlike training, which is mostly about raw compute, inference depends on memory, bandwidth, and where the model runs. A massive LLM on a cloud server needs different hardware than a small AI assistant on your phone. That means the field is still open—whoever nails the balance of speed, efficiency, and cost could take the lead.
Spotify wrote in its annual Loud and Clear Report that nearly 1,500 artists generated more than $1 million in royalties in 2024.
Spotify is minting music millionaires.
Nearly 1,500 artists generated more than $1 million in royalties from Spotify in 2024, the company said Wednesday in its annual Loud and Clear Report.
Spotify said more than 80% of the artists in that pool did not have a song reach the app's Global Daily Top 50 chart. To reach that million-dollar threshold, an artist would need to have around four to five million monthly listeners, or 20 million to 25 million monthly streams.
"Spotify has helped level the playing field for artists at every stage of their careers," the company said in the report. "Success in the streaming era doesn't require a decade-spanning catalog nor a chart-topping hit."
The news comes about a month after the company reported a fourth-quarter earnings beat that saw the Swedish music streamer record its first full year of profitability.
Spotify said the upper echelon of royalties, artists who generate more than $10 million, has soared 600% since 2017, reaching a total of 70 for 2024.
The company said it paid an all-time high of $10 billion in royalties to the music industry for 2024, a figure it claimed is "more than any single retailer has ever paid in a year, and over 10x the contribution of the largest record store at the height of the CD era."
Soto-Wright compared the acquisition to when PayPal bought Braintree, which handles credit card processing for companies like Meta and processed nearly $600 billion in total payment volume last year.
"This is our Braintree moment," said Soto-Wright. "Iron's technology positions MoonPay to become the definitive infrastructure provider for enterprise stablecoin solutions."
Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies pegged to real-world assets, and in 2024 alone, most of the $27 trillion transferred through stablecoins consisted of digital dollars moving seamlessly across blockchains.
"We think it is an internet-driven payment method you'll see all across the world," Soto-Wright said." "If you think about the United States, we have been a little bit behind. Real-time payments has taken years to get rolled out. We actually think wallets can help skip that technology jump and stablecoins are going to be a very important part of that."
Contributors will not be able to submit Community Notes on advertisements, but will be able to do so on "almost any other forms of content, including posts by Meta, our executives, politicians and other public figures," the blog post said. Posts hit with Community Notes can't be appealed, but there's also no additional penalty for content that's flagged.
"Notes will provide extra context, but they won't impact who can see the content or how widely it can be shared," the blog post said.
Meta doesn't plan to open source or publicly release more technical details about its Community Notes system, but is considering the option for the future, Rachel Lambert, director of product management at Meta, said in a media briefing.
The memoir chronicles Wynn-Williams' tenure at Facebook from 2011 through 2017. During that time, she became a high-level employee who interacted with CEO Mark Zuckerberg, then-COO Sheryl Sandberg and Joel Kaplan, the company's current policy chief. In the book, Wynn-Williams alleges that Kaplan made a number of inappropriate comments to her, which she then reported to the company as sexual harassment.
"This is a mix of out-of-date and previously reported claims about the company and false accusations about our executives," a Meta spokesperson previously said about both her book and complaint.
The company has previously dismissed Wynn-Williams' claims as "out-of-date" and said that she was fired for "poor performance and toxic behavior."
Meta spokesperson Andy Stone shared the emergency arbitrator's ruling in a post on Threads, saying that it "affirms that Sarah Wynn Williams' false and defamatory book should never have been published."
"This urgent legal action was made necessary by Williams, who more than eight years after being terminated by the company, deliberately concealed the existence of her book project and avoided the industry's standard fact-checking process in order to rush it to shelves after waiting for eight years," Stone said.
"Given these uncertainties and the implication they may have on the company's financials, there is substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months," iRobot said in its earnings report.
The company's fourth-quarter revenue sagged 44% year over year to $172 million, missing estimates of $180.8 million, according to FactSet. The Roomba maker posted a net loss of $77.1 million, or $2.52 per share. Excluding a one-time "manufacturing transition charge," iRobot had a loss of $2.06 a share, exceeding the $1.73 per share projected by analysts surveyed by FactSet.
Chicken meat producers remain the most resistant to vaccines because of concerns they could harm meat exports, which totaled nearly $4.7 billion last year. Egg and turkey producers sell most of their products in the U.S. and have been hit hardest by the virus.
Without a new policy including vaccines, the government will continue to slaughter every flock with a bird flu infection to limit the spread of the disease. Those deaths have totaled over 166 million birds in the U.S. since 2022.
Most birds killed are egg-laying chickens, and the death of so many hens is the main reason egg prices keep rising. The average price per dozen has hit $5.90, and in some part of the country, it is far higher.
“What the industry wants is the ability to develop the strategic plan to share that with the trading partners and then find out what kind of impact that that will have on trade,” Clifford said.
There are fears that vaccinating could allow the virus to linger undetected in flocks and mutate in ways that could make it more of a threat to humans and allow sick birds to get into the food supply. Like with other diseases, properly cooking chicken to 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius) will kill bird flu, but the industry and chicken buyers don't want it there at all.
For meat chicken, known as broilers, the virus isn't as significant because those birds are slaughtered at 6 to 8 weeks old and thus have less chance of being infected compared with egg-laying hens, which live to 2 years or older. Also most broilers are raised in the Southeast, which hasn't had as many outbreaks as the Midwest and West.
In Mexico chicken are vaccinated, but Clifford said the country doesn't slaughter flocks when infections are found. That basically ensures the virus is present in poultry.
China still slaughters vaccinated flocks when infections are found, which has proven more effective at limiting the spread of the virus and reigning in outbreaks.
Clifford said the U.S. would need to continue culling flocks with outbreaks even after vaccinating, and it might make sense to give shots only to egg layers and turkeys, not broilers.
Don't expect big relief anytime soon.
The USDA, which did not respond to a request for comment for this article sent last week, clearly isn't moving to vaccinate immediately. And, regardless, it will take time to raise new hens.
Duterte was once feared for his brutal anti-crime crackdowns and reviled for his irreverence while in office — he called Pope Francis a "son of a b---h" at one time and said that then-President Barack Obama could "go to hell." Duterte's stunning reversal of fortune was celebrated by human rights groups as a historic triumph against state impunity everywhere.
Duterte was arrested Tuesday after he arrived at Manila's Ninoy Aquino International Airport with his common-law wife, daughter and friends from Hong Kong.
He was later taken under heavy police guard to a nearby presidential lounge at the Villamor Air Base to undergo booking for arrested criminal suspects, including fingerprinting, before being taken to a plane for the long flight to The Hague to be turned over to the ICC, Torre said.
While president, Duterte got incensed when Obama criticized his bloody campaign against illegal drugs and told him in one speech to "go to hell."
In 2015, he shocked the dominant Roman Catholic Church when he fired off an expletive while expressing his disgust over a monstrous traffic jam that trapped him while Francis was visiting Manila.
"I wanted to call: 'Pope, you son of a b---h, go home. Don't visit here anymore,'" he told a mob of supporters, some of whom laughed.
He later apologized after Filipino bishops expressed shock and outrage.
Grenell: Venezuela Will Resume Flights to Collect Migrants
Venezuela has agreed to resume flights to collect citizens who have entered the United States illegally, according to Ric Grenell, President Donald Trump's envoy for special missions.
"I am pleased to announce that Venezuela has agreed to resume flights to pick up their citizens who broke U.S. Immigration Laws and entered the U.S. illegally," Grenell said on X Thursday. "The flights will resume Friday."
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said last Saturday that the flights to bring migrants back from the United States were affected when Trump canceled a license that allowed Chevron to continue to operate in his country, citing a lack of progress on migrant returns and electoral reforms, reported Reuters.
Trump Threatens 200 Percent Wine Tariff on EU Imports: We Will Win
President Donald Trump threatened a 200% wine tariff on EU imports if the bloc doesn't lift its whiskey tariff.
President Donald Trump has hit back at the European Union, which he claimed was "screwing" the U.S. after saying Thursday that he would put a 200% wine tariff on all wines and other alcoholic products coming out of the EU if the bloc did not remove its tariff on whiskey.
The European Commission said on Wednesday that it will impose counter tariffs on 26 billion euros ($28 billion) worth of U.S. goods from next month, ramping up a global trade war in response to blanket U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum.
Taking to social media Thursday, Trump slammed the EU.
The White House withdrew the nomination of Dave Weldon, President Donald Trump's pick to lead the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Axios reported Thursday.
Weldon, a vaccine critic, was set to appear in front of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee on Thursday as part of the confirmation process.
The CDC, with a budget of $17.3 billion, tracks and responds to domestic and foreign threats to public health. Roughly two-thirds of its budget funds state and local health agencies' public health and prevention activities.
A day after he became St. John’s first Big East Player of the Year in 39 years, RJ Luis scored 20 points to go along with seven rebounds. Kadary Richmond (nine assists, eight rebounds) and Aaron Scott added 15 points apiece and the Johnnies throttled Butler in the paint, 44-18. Butler’s star wings, Jahmyl Telfort and Pierre Brooks, were meanwhile held to 16 points on 4-of-20 shooting.
MoonPay, a leading crypto payments company, has acquired Iron, an API-driven startup specializing in stablecoin infrastructure.
Crypto payments giant MoonPay is expanding its push into the enterprise market with the acquisition of Iron, an API-first stablecoin infrastructure startup.
This marks MoonPay's second significant acquisition in two months, underscoring its ambition to dominate the rapidly growing stablecoin payments market.
"We think everyone is going to have a digital currency wallet, whether it's inside of a bank account or independently. And we build a backwards compatibility to the existing financial system," MoonPay Co-Founder and CEO Ivan Soto-Wright told CNBC's "Squawk Box" in an exclusive interview.
Already, MoonPay makes it easier for people to participate in the new crypto economy by enabling onboarding through most traditional payment rails, including debit cards, bank accounts, PayPal, Venmo, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.
Now, with Iron, MoonPay can offer businesses the ability to accept stablecoin payments, unlocking instant, low-cost, and borderless transactions.
Intel shares popped more than 11% after announcing Lip-Bu Tan as its new CEO and Wall Street cheered the chipmaker's attempt to turn around its business.
Intel shares popped more than 13% after the struggling chipmaker named Lip-Bu Tan its new CEO and Wall Street cheered the turnaround attempt.
Tan previously served as CEO of chip software maker and Intel supplier Cadence Design Systems, and will rejoin the board after departing last year. He replaces interim co-CEOs David Zinsner and MJ Holthaus who took the helm of the company after former CEO Pat Gelsinger's ousting in December.
The news brings an end to a tumultuous period for the once iconic American semiconductor company that's shed billions in market value as it largely sits out the artificial intelligence boom that has lifted the broader industry. Intel's board forced out Gelsinger late last year as confidence dwindled in his ability to turn around the company.
Wall Street appeared to support Intel's decision, with Deutsche Bank analyst Ross Seymore calling the appointment a "desirable outcome." Tan's semiconductor industry experience and prior board position also prime him to "meet the demands" of the role, he added.
Meta revealed more details of Community Notes, and said that it incorporates the same open-source algorithm that powers X's crowdsourced feature.
Meta's upcoming Community Notes feature for monitoring misinformation through crowdsourcing will use some technology developed by Elon Musk's X for its similar service.
On Thursday, Meta revealed in a blog post more details of its new content moderation tool, and said it incorporates the same open-source algorithm that powers X's Community Notes. Meta said that over time it plans to modify the algorithm to better serve its Facebook, Instagram and Threads apps.
"As X's algorithm and program information is open source — meaning free and available for anyone to use— we can build on what X has done, learn from the researchers who have studied it, and improve the system for our own platforms," Meta said in the post. "As our own version develops, we may explore different or adjusted algorithms to support how Community Notes are ranked and rated."
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg pitched Community Notes in January as the company's preferred replacement in the U.S. for third-party fact-checking, which he shuttered as part of a broader policy change that also relaxed certain content moderation guidelines. The company will begin testing Community Notes next week in the U.S. Last month, Meta said that users can apply to become contributors as long as they meet certain requirements, including being over 18 and having a verified phone number.
The video discusses the issue of fake publishers flooding the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation e-shops with low-quality games, often using fake screenshots and descriptions.
Luke has been investigating these publishers and has discovered a web of deceit and potential connections between them. He specifically calls out Midnight Works, a company that has been banned from the PlayStation Store. Luke also reveals that some of these publishers are using existing publishing names without the original publishers' knowledge or consent.
Luke's research has led him to believe that there may be something dodgy going on, possibly a tax avoidance or money laundering. He criticizes Nintendo's lack of vetting process for registering publishers and their policies on publishing games.
The Roomba maker faces mounting debt and sputtering revenue growth, as well as heightened competition from robotic vacuum makers based in China.
Shares of iRobot plunged more than 30% on Wednesday after it said there is "substantial doubt" about its ability to stay in business.
The Roomba maker's financial outlook has darkened since Amazon abandoned its planned $1.7 billion acquisition of the company in January 2024, citing regulatory scrutiny. Since then, iRobot has struggled to generate cash and pay off debts.
Massachusetts-based iRobot has been restructuring since the Amazon deal plunged into uncertainty. The company has laid off 51% of its workforce since the end of 2023, and iRobot has looked to reignite revenue growth by overhauling its product lineup. The company on Tuesday launched eight new Roombas in the hopes of "better positioning iRobot as the leader in the category that we created," CEO Gary Cohen said in a statement.
"There can be no assurance that the new product launches will be successful," iRobot said in its Wednesday earnings statement, citing limited consumer demand, tariff uncertainty and heightened competition.
The PlayStation Classic has a decent number of games, but the lineup is flawed, and the hardware choices are questionable. The lack of an AC adapter and dual shock controllers is notable, and the inclusion of PAL versions of some games is a mistake. The console's potential was wasted, and it did not sell well, leading to a significant price drop. The PlayStation Classic is a disappointing console that could have been a massive success with a better lineup of games and more attention to detail.
Gemini Robotics is a vision-language-action (VLA) model by Google DeepMind that aims to bring Gemini and AI to the physical world. It was created to make general purpose robots that can perform a wider range of real-world tasks than ever before. The VLA is built on Gemini 2.0 and has physical actions as an additional output modality for the purpose of directly controlling robots. Google built its robotic AI model to be able to understand and respond quickly to instructions or changes in the environment, capable of the kinds of things people can generally do with their hands and fingers, and adept with dealing with new objects, diverse instructions, and new environments. A video showing some of the model's capabilities is available in the article.
Google installed 100 million lithium-ion cells across its data centers to provide backup power to its servers. The lithium-ion cells hold twice the power and take up half as much space as the lead-acid batteries they replaced, allowing the company to cut the number of cells required by three-quarters - more space for servers. Batteries are driving change in a myriad parts of the economy. Panasonic has shipped over 10 billion cells from its Nevada plant since it opened in 2015.
Facebook and Instagram parent company Meta Platforms Inc. said Thursday it will begin testing its crowd-sourced fact-checking program, Community Notes, on March 18. It will initially based on a ratings system used by Elon Musk's X.
Meta ended its fact-checking program in January. CEO Mark Zuckerberg said at the time that fact-checkers had become “politically biased," using some of the language that conservatives have long used to criticize his platforms. But media experts and those who study social media were aghast at Meta’s policy shift.
The decision "not only removes a valuable resource for users, but it also provides an air of legitimacy to a popular disinformation narrative: That fact-checking is politically biased. Fact-checkers provide a valuable service by adding important context to the viral claims that mislead and misinform millions of users on Meta,” said Dan Evon, lead writer for RumorGuard, the News Literacy Project’s digital tool that curates fact checks and teaches people to spot viral misinformation.
Meta began fact checks in December 2016, after President Donald Trump was elected to his first term, in response to criticism that “fake news” was spreading on its platforms. For years, the tech giant boasted it was working with more than 100 organizations in over 60 languages to combat misinformation.
Hugging Face's New OpenR1 Update: Small Models, Big Wins
Hugging Face just dropped an update to its OpenR1 model, diving into how small models can actually beat bigger ones in competitive coding. Their DeepSeek reasoning model is showing that, with the right tuning, compact models can outperform the heavyweights in tasks like code challenges. It's a game-changer for developers looking for speed and efficiency without the huge data demands.
If Unified Memory Is Good For Consoles, Why Not PC?
The video discusses the concept of unified memory in consoles and its potential application in PCs. Unified memory refers to a shared pool of memory that can be accessed by both the CPU and GPU, allowing for more efficient data transfer and reduced latency. However, the hosts argue that unified memory may not be suitable for PCs due to the complexity of their architecture and the need for configurability. They suggest that a more efficient approach might be to have separate pools of memory for the CPU and GPU, with the SSD feeding the GPU directly.
I see your point. We tend to define authenticity based on our experiences, yet it's important to nurture each friendship and appreciate their unique qualities without overthinking their genuineness

You may have positive thoughts and intentions, but your actions are all that matters in the end. And no matter what anyone tells you, your actions are always within your control. You get to choose your next action. If it isn't one you're proud of, that's on you.
Crypto downturns now make sense—Trump's trade war isn't affecting just stocks; it's unsettling digital currencies as well. LIQUIDITY is essential. ETH dropped by 20% last week as market uncertainty over tariff threats escalates anxiety.
I earned a lot of points by leaving my browser open with VOLTIX extension... Though my PC got a bit hot, so I won't leave this open 24/7. #crypto #browser #freecompliments #cent
I can't tell you how much you'd earn as the points will be used to determine your share on the project's airdrop. There's always the change you'll get less than the electricity cost, or even nothing. On the other hand, you might get a lot of that token, so I'm willing to try.
Though it does work on Laptops. There's an Easy, Normal and Hard modes that require more performance the harder you go. My device gets hot when I do the Normal mode, so you could try Easy.
Could be, perhaps that's something they had in mind, Elon being a space enthusiast and all. Just had a laugh cos I was just reading about black holes and the pictures are just like that

Hard Days, Hard Nights (1989) es una película dirigida por el director Horst Königstein. Ambientada en la ciudad de Hamburgo de principios de los años 60 durante la avalancha de bandas inglesas de música a la ciudad. Si te suenan los nombres de The Marquee o The Cavern, seguramente disfrutarás viendo esta película de amores adolescentes.

Crypto has reached such a speculative place that global uncertainty causes selloffs.
This is how we know we're early.
Not only is permissionless global money an evergreen tool, but it's even more valuable during times of turmoil.
When we hit mass adoption in the next few years, all this will become apparent.

BREAKING: U.S. job growth among natives exceeds that of foreign-born workers for the first time in 15 months.
How does this job growth compare to the past 4 years in the United States?
Over the past 4 years, the U.S. job market has seen overall recovery with fluctuations. This recent spike shows native job gains outpacing foreign-born growth—likely reflecting shifts in policy and economic factors at play
Do you know what some of the policy changes and economic factors that fed into the spike in native job gains outpacing foreign-born?
Policy tweaks like tighter immigration rules and enhanced domestic workforce incentives, along with economic recovery efforts such as tax incentives, have likely contributed to the native job gains outpacing foreign-born growth
What factors affect the immigration of a country?
Economic prospects, favorable immigration policies, quality of life, social networks, and global political conditions all influence migration trends

Despite the market chaos, there has never been a better time for crypto than right now.
Just a year ago, friends were getting arrested, companies were being sued by the SEC left and right, delistings were happening all the time.
Now, all the SEC cases got called off, Ross Ulbricht is free, crypto law is clear in Europe (though MiCA isn't ideal), and I'm getting relistings.
If you're, you know, actually building stuff, it's never been better!

Have you ever bought a token without any research;
I am ashamed, but I have done so... I did lose, but it was a 50$ -
Many have done that, see its as a lesson learned :)
Have done that many times in the past. Hype is the greatest factor in the crypto space, when it sets of only a few remember to do research.
I am not buying other tokens because right now my goal is to increase the hive quantity
Yes. Unfortunately. 🙁

The Slow and Deserved Downfall of Intel
Intel's current state is a far cry from its former glory, with the company barely ranking in the top 10 CPUs sold on Amazon. The launch of their new Aerol Lake CPUs has been met with lukewarm interest, and the company's valuation has tanked, with a 60% decline over the past 5 years. The video explores the reasons behind Intel's downfall, including poor leadership decisions, lack of innovation, and stagnation in their fabrication process.

How to Use Steam on Linux
To get started with gaming on Linux, it's essential to understand the limitations and potential issues that may arise. Linux gaming has its drawbacks, particularly with certain games that use anti-cheat software or have restrictive DRM policies.
For single-player games, Linux is a viable option, with many games working seamlessly. If most of the games you play are single-player, you'll have little to no issues playing them on Linux.
The video highlights the importance of choosing the right Linux distribution for gaming, with Bite being a top recommendation due to its ease of use and performance optimization. The speaker also discusses the need to enable Steam compatibility for all games and he recommends using Proton DB to see how others got games working and to check for any potential issues with anti-cheat.

Make Revenue Great Again
Amid declining liquidity and valuation pressures in Web3, revenue is re-emerging as a critical focus, pushing projects to adopt transactional fee models over speculative token launches. Industry leaders like Uniswap sustain consistent fees, while infrastructure providers like Polymarket and MetaMask generate significant revenue from transaction volumes, with some, like Ronin and Kaito, experimenting with token buybacks to tie value to cash flow.

One trader VS. Hyperliquid's HLP vault
A trader used high leverage to build a massive ETH long position on Hyperliquid, then strategically withdrew collateral to trigger liquidation, offloading risk onto the HLP vault while hedging elsewhere for profit. The result: a $1.8M gain for the trader and a $4M loss for HLP, exposing vulnerabilities in liquidity mechanics rather than an outright exploit.

How to get new users in crypto
Acquiring new users in crypto is increasingly challenging due to market saturation with over 8,700 L1s and 5,200 L2s, fragmented global audiences, trust issues stemming from premature technology, and 415 Bitcoin “death” headlines, as evidenced by declining Google search trends for “crypto.” Developers are overcoming these barriers through personalized onboarding, coordinated marketing across stakeholders, consistent messaging, and storytelling to engage users, helping founders cut through attention fragmentation.

Nvidia won the AI training race, but inference is still anyone's game
Inference is a far more diverse workload compared to training - performance is predominantly determined by memory capacity, memory bandwidth, and compute - which of these is prioritized is heavily dependent on a model's architecture, parameter count, hosting location, and target audience.

The Cultural Divide between Mathematics and AI
The excitement around AI's potential contributions to mathematics doesn't always come with a nuanced understanding of what mathematics truly is and isn't. This post attempts to articulate these differences and hopefully build a bridge for better collaboration. Most mathematicians are not interested in AI creating new mathematics, but in processing and organizing existing knowledge. Even if AI was able to produce a proof of a major conjecture, it would fail to deliver the deeper understanding that mathematicians truly seek.

Something Is Rotten in the State of Cupertino
It was clear when Apple announced Apple Intelligence that some of its features were more ambitious than others. Apple hinted strongly that the various features wouldn't all ship at the same time - the more trivial features would ship first. Its more ambitious features have been delayed until sometime 'in the coming year'. Apple appears to have pitched a story that wasn't true and set a course based on that.

General Fusion's reactor prototype creates plasma for the first time
Canadian startup General Fusion has created plasma inside its prototype reactor, a major milestone in proving its technology. The company uses technology that dates back to the 1970s - details are available in the article. The prototype is now forming plasmas daily - the next step is to compress the plasmas with a lithium liner to create fusion and heating from compression. The company hopes it will achieve scientific break-even equivalent by 2026.

New Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan will pick up where Pat Gelsinger left off
Lip-Bu Tan will become the CEO of Intel on March 18. Former CEO Pat Gelsinger was booted from the position on December 2 after several quarters of losses, rounds of layoffs, and canceled or spun-off side projects. Tan was previously on Intel's board from 2022 to 2024 and has been a board member for several other technology and chip manufacturing companies. Intel reported a loss of $18.76 billion in 2024, its first annual loss since 1986.

Branchless Programming: Why "If" is Slow and What We Can Do About It
The video discusses branchless programming, a technique to minimize or reduce the number of branches in code, which can improve performance. A branch in programming occurs when the CPU has more than one path to take, and the CPU tries to guess which path to load, leading to potential slow downs. The speaker provides examples of branchless programming in C++ and assembly, demonstrating how to convert a string of ASCII characters to uppercase without using branches. The video also explores the use of SIMD instructions, such as AVX, to further improve performance.

A CPU ahead of its time: The Pentium Pro
The Pentium Pro was a significant improvement over its predecessor, the Pentium, with its integrated level two cache, dual integer pipelines, and 64-bit data bus. Released in 1995, it was intended to replace the original Pentium but was limited to server and high-end desktop markets due to low yields and high prices. The CPU's unique design, with the level two cache inside the CPU package, made it larger than its predecessor and pushed Intel's manufacturing technology to its limits.

Apple’s AI Plans Might Not Be What They Seem
when apple announced apple intelligence, they made it sound like a game-changer. but now, the most ambitious features are delayed indefinitely, with only the simpler ones coming first. apple hinted at this early on, but the way they framed it made it seem like a smoother rollout than reality suggests. did they overpromise? or were they just vague enough to manage expectations? either way, the hype might not match what we actually get.

Nvidia Dominates AI Training, but Inference Is Still Up for Grabs
Nvidia crushed the AI training game, but inference? That’s a different beast. Unlike training, which is mostly about raw compute, inference depends on memory, bandwidth, and where the model runs.

Spotify says it paid nearly 1,500 artists $1 million or more in royalties for 2024 streams
Spotify wrote in its annual Loud and Clear Report that nearly 1,500 artists generated more than $1 million in royalties in 2024.
Spotify is minting music millionaires.
Nearly 1,500 artists generated more than $1 million in royalties from Spotify in 2024, the company said Wednesday in its annual Loud and Clear Report.
Spotify said more than 80% of the artists in that pool did not have a song reach the app's Global Daily Top 50 chart. To reach that million-dollar threshold, an artist would need to have around four to five million monthly listeners, or 20 million to 25 million monthly streams.
"Spotify has helped level the playing field for artists at every stage of their careers," the company said in the report. "Success in the streaming era doesn't require a decade-spanning catalog nor a chart-topping hit."
The news comes about a month after the company reported a fourth-quarter earnings beat that saw the Swedish music streamer record its first full year of profitability.
Spotify said the upper echelon of royalties, artists who generate more than $10 million, has soared 600% since 2017, reaching a total of 70 for 2024.
The company said it paid an all-time high of $10 billion in royalties to the music industry for 2024, a figure it claimed is "more than any single retailer has ever paid in a year, and over 10x the contribution of the largest record store at the height of the CD era."
Paragraphs
Soto-Wright compared the acquisition to when PayPal bought Braintree, which handles credit card processing for companies like Meta and processed nearly $600 billion in total payment volume last year.
"This is our Braintree moment," said Soto-Wright. "Iron's technology positions MoonPay to become the definitive infrastructure provider for enterprise stablecoin solutions."
Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies pegged to real-world assets, and in 2024 alone, most of the $27 trillion transferred through stablecoins consisted of digital dollars moving seamlessly across blockchains.
"We think it is an internet-driven payment method you'll see all across the world," Soto-Wright said." "If you think about the United States, we have been a little bit behind. Real-time payments has taken years to get rolled out. We actually think wallets can help skip that technology jump and stablecoins are going to be a very important part of that."
Contributors will not be able to submit Community Notes on advertisements, but will be able to do so on "almost any other forms of content, including posts by Meta, our executives, politicians and other public figures," the blog post said. Posts hit with Community Notes can't be appealed, but there's also no additional penalty for content that's flagged.
"Notes will provide extra context, but they won't impact who can see the content or how widely it can be shared," the blog post said.
Meta doesn't plan to open source or publicly release more technical details about its Community Notes system, but is considering the option for the future, Rachel Lambert, director of product management at Meta, said in a media briefing.
The memoir chronicles Wynn-Williams' tenure at Facebook from 2011 through 2017. During that time, she became a high-level employee who interacted with CEO Mark Zuckerberg, then-COO Sheryl Sandberg and Joel Kaplan, the company's current policy chief. In the book, Wynn-Williams alleges that Kaplan made a number of inappropriate comments to her, which she then reported to the company as sexual harassment.
"This is a mix of out-of-date and previously reported claims about the company and false accusations about our executives," a Meta spokesperson previously said about both her book and complaint.
The company has previously dismissed Wynn-Williams' claims as "out-of-date" and said that she was fired for "poor performance and toxic behavior."
Meta spokesperson Andy Stone shared the emergency arbitrator's ruling in a post on Threads, saying that it "affirms that Sarah Wynn Williams' false and defamatory book should never have been published."
"This urgent legal action was made necessary by Williams, who more than eight years after being terminated by the company, deliberately concealed the existence of her book project and avoided the industry's standard fact-checking process in order to rush it to shelves after waiting for eight years," Stone said.
"Given these uncertainties and the implication they may have on the company's financials, there is substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months," iRobot said in its earnings report.
The company's fourth-quarter revenue sagged 44% year over year to $172 million, missing estimates of $180.8 million, according to FactSet. The Roomba maker posted a net loss of $77.1 million, or $2.52 per share. Excluding a one-time "manufacturing transition charge," iRobot had a loss of $2.06 a share, exceeding the $1.73 per share projected by analysts surveyed by FactSet.
Chicken meat producers remain the most resistant to vaccines because of concerns they could harm meat exports, which totaled nearly $4.7 billion last year. Egg and turkey producers sell most of their products in the U.S. and have been hit hardest by the virus.
Without a new policy including vaccines, the government will continue to slaughter every flock with a bird flu infection to limit the spread of the disease. Those deaths have totaled over 166 million birds in the U.S. since 2022.
Most birds killed are egg-laying chickens, and the death of so many hens is the main reason egg prices keep rising. The average price per dozen has hit $5.90, and in some part of the country, it is far higher.
“What the industry wants is the ability to develop the strategic plan to share that with the trading partners and then find out what kind of impact that that will have on trade,” Clifford said.
There are fears that vaccinating could allow the virus to linger undetected in flocks and mutate in ways that could make it more of a threat to humans and allow sick birds to get into the food supply. Like with other diseases, properly cooking chicken to 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius) will kill bird flu, but the industry and chicken buyers don't want it there at all.
For meat chicken, known as broilers, the virus isn't as significant because those birds are slaughtered at 6 to 8 weeks old and thus have less chance of being infected compared with egg-laying hens, which live to 2 years or older. Also most broilers are raised in the Southeast, which hasn't had as many outbreaks as the Midwest and West.
In Mexico chicken are vaccinated, but Clifford said the country doesn't slaughter flocks when infections are found. That basically ensures the virus is present in poultry.
China still slaughters vaccinated flocks when infections are found, which has proven more effective at limiting the spread of the virus and reigning in outbreaks.
Clifford said the U.S. would need to continue culling flocks with outbreaks even after vaccinating, and it might make sense to give shots only to egg layers and turkeys, not broilers.
Don't expect big relief anytime soon.
The USDA, which did not respond to a request for comment for this article sent last week, clearly isn't moving to vaccinate immediately. And, regardless, it will take time to raise new hens.
Duterte was once feared for his brutal anti-crime crackdowns and reviled for his irreverence while in office — he called Pope Francis a "son of a b---h" at one time and said that then-President Barack Obama could "go to hell." Duterte's stunning reversal of fortune was celebrated by human rights groups as a historic triumph against state impunity everywhere.
Duterte was arrested Tuesday after he arrived at Manila's Ninoy Aquino International Airport with his common-law wife, daughter and friends from Hong Kong.
He was later taken under heavy police guard to a nearby presidential lounge at the Villamor Air Base to undergo booking for arrested criminal suspects, including fingerprinting, before being taken to a plane for the long flight to The Hague to be turned over to the ICC, Torre said.
While president, Duterte got incensed when Obama criticized his bloody campaign against illegal drugs and told him in one speech to "go to hell."
In 2015, he shocked the dominant Roman Catholic Church when he fired off an expletive while expressing his disgust over a monstrous traffic jam that trapped him while Francis was visiting Manila.
"I wanted to call: 'Pope, you son of a b---h, go home. Don't visit here anymore,'" he told a mob of supporters, some of whom laughed.
He later apologized after Filipino bishops expressed shock and outrage.
Grenell: Venezuela Will Resume Flights to Collect Migrants
Venezuela has agreed to resume flights to collect citizens who have entered the United States illegally, according to Ric Grenell, President Donald Trump's envoy for special missions.
"I am pleased to announce that Venezuela has agreed to resume flights to pick up their citizens who broke U.S. Immigration Laws and entered the U.S. illegally," Grenell said on X Thursday. "The flights will resume Friday."
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said last Saturday that the flights to bring migrants back from the United States were affected when Trump canceled a license that allowed Chevron to continue to operate in his country, citing a lack of progress on migrant returns and electoral reforms, reported Reuters.
Trump Threatens 200 Percent Wine Tariff on EU Imports: We Will Win
President Donald Trump threatened a 200% wine tariff on EU imports if the bloc doesn't lift its whiskey tariff.
President Donald Trump has hit back at the European Union, which he claimed was "screwing" the U.S. after saying Thursday that he would put a 200% wine tariff on all wines and other alcoholic products coming out of the EU if the bloc did not remove its tariff on whiskey.
The European Commission said on Wednesday that it will impose counter tariffs on 26 billion euros ($28 billion) worth of U.S. goods from next month, ramping up a global trade war in response to blanket U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum.
Taking to social media Thursday, Trump slammed the EU.
Report: Nomination of Weldon as CDC Chief Pulled
The White House withdrew the nomination of Dave Weldon, President Donald Trump's pick to lead the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Axios reported Thursday.
Weldon, a vaccine critic, was set to appear in front of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee on Thursday as part of the confirmation process.
The CDC, with a budget of $17.3 billion, tracks and responds to domestic and foreign threats to public health. Roughly two-thirds of its budget funds state and local health agencies' public health and prevention activities.
Weldon, 71, is a former Florida congressman.
A day after he became St. John’s first Big East Player of the Year in 39 years, RJ Luis scored 20 points to go along with seven rebounds. Kadary Richmond (nine assists, eight rebounds) and Aaron Scott added 15 points apiece and the Johnnies throttled Butler in the paint, 44-18. Butler’s star wings, Jahmyl Telfort and Pierre Brooks, were meanwhile held to 16 points on 4-of-20 shooting.

Intel pops 13% as chipmaker taps new CEO, Wall Street backs turnaround effort
Intel shares popped more than 11% after announcing Lip-Bu Tan as its new CEO and Wall Street cheered the chipmaker's attempt to turn around its business.
Intel shares popped more than 13% after the struggling chipmaker named Lip-Bu Tan its new CEO and Wall Street cheered the turnaround attempt.
Tan previously served as CEO of chip software maker and Intel supplier Cadence Design Systems, and will rejoin the board after departing last year. He replaces interim co-CEOs David Zinsner and MJ Holthaus who took the helm of the company after former CEO Pat Gelsinger's ousting in December.
#intel #chipmaker #ceo #wallstreet
The news brings an end to a tumultuous period for the once iconic American semiconductor company that's shed billions in market value as it largely sits out the artificial intelligence boom that has lifted the broader industry. Intel's board forced out Gelsinger late last year as confidence dwindled in his ability to turn around the company.
Wall Street appeared to support Intel's decision, with Deutsche Bank analyst Ross Seymore calling the appointment a "desirable outcome." Tan's semiconductor industry experience and prior board position also prime him to "meet the demands" of the role, he added.
Meta's Community Notes will use open-source technology from Elon Musk's X
Meta revealed more details of Community Notes, and said that it incorporates the same open-source algorithm that powers X's crowdsourced feature.
Meta's upcoming Community Notes feature for monitoring misinformation through crowdsourcing will use some technology developed by Elon Musk's X for its similar service.
On Thursday, Meta revealed in a blog post more details of its new content moderation tool, and said it incorporates the same open-source algorithm that powers X's Community Notes. Meta said that over time it plans to modify the algorithm to better serve its Facebook, Instagram and Threads apps.
"As X's algorithm and program information is open source — meaning free and available for anyone to use— we can build on what X has done, learn from the researchers who have studied it, and improve the system for our own platforms," Meta said in the post. "As our own version develops, we may explore different or adjusted algorithms to support how Community Notes are ranked and rated."
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg pitched Community Notes in January as the company's preferred replacement in the U.S. for third-party fact-checking, which he shuttered as part of a broader policy change that also relaxed certain content moderation guidelines. The company will begin testing Community Notes next week in the U.S. Last month, Meta said that users can apply to become contributors as long as they meet certain requirements, including being over 18 and having a verified phone number.
Exposing The Fake Publishers Flooding the E-Shops
The video discusses the issue of fake publishers flooding the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation e-shops with low-quality games, often using fake screenshots and descriptions.
Luke has been investigating these publishers and has discovered a web of deceit and potential connections between them. He specifically calls out Midnight Works, a company that has been banned from the PlayStation Store. Luke also reveals that some of these publishers are using existing publishing names without the original publishers' knowledge or consent.
Luke's research has led him to believe that there may be something dodgy going on, possibly a tax avoidance or money laundering. He criticizes Nintendo's lack of vetting process for registering publishers and their policies on publishing games.

Shares of iRobot tank 30% after Roomba maker raises doubt about its survival
The Roomba maker faces mounting debt and sputtering revenue growth, as well as heightened competition from robotic vacuum makers based in China.
Shares of iRobot plunged more than 30% on Wednesday after it said there is "substantial doubt" about its ability to stay in business.
The Roomba maker's financial outlook has darkened since Amazon abandoned its planned $1.7 billion acquisition of the company in January 2024, citing regulatory scrutiny. Since then, iRobot has struggled to generate cash and pay off debts.
Massachusetts-based iRobot has been restructuring since the Amazon deal plunged into uncertainty. The company has laid off 51% of its workforce since the end of 2023, and iRobot has looked to reignite revenue growth by overhauling its product lineup. The company on Tuesday launched eight new Roombas in the hopes of "better positioning iRobot as the leader in the category that we created," CEO Gary Cohen said in a statement.
"There can be no assurance that the new product launches will be successful," iRobot said in its Wednesday earnings statement, citing limited consumer demand, tariff uncertainty and heightened competition.
20 Excellent Games, One TERRIBLE Console
The PlayStation Classic has a decent number of games, but the lineup is flawed, and the hardware choices are questionable. The lack of an AC adapter and dual shock controllers is notable, and the inclusion of PAL versions of some games is a mistake. The console's potential was wasted, and it did not sell well, leading to a significant price drop. The PlayStation Classic is a disappointing console that could have been a massive success with a better lineup of games and more attention to detail.

Meta to Test Crowdsourced Fact-Checking
Facebook and Instagram parent company Meta Platforms Inc. said Thursday it will begin testing its crowd-sourced fact-checking program, Community Notes, on March 18. It will initially based on a ratings system used by Elon Musk's X.
Meta ended its fact-checking program in January. CEO Mark Zuckerberg said at the time that fact-checkers had become “politically biased," using some of the language that conservatives have long used to criticize his platforms. But media experts and those who study social media were aghast at Meta’s policy shift.
The decision "not only removes a valuable resource for users, but it also provides an air of legitimacy to a popular disinformation narrative: That fact-checking is politically biased. Fact-checkers provide a valuable service by adding important context to the viral claims that mislead and misinform millions of users on Meta,” said Dan Evon, lead writer for RumorGuard, the News Literacy Project’s digital tool that curates fact checks and teaches people to spot viral misinformation.
Meta began fact checks in December 2016, after President Donald Trump was elected to his first term, in response to criticism that “fake news” was spreading on its platforms. For years, the tech giant boasted it was working with more than 100 organizations in over 60 languages to combat misinformation.

If Unified Memory Is Good For Consoles, Why Not PC?
The video discusses the concept of unified memory in consoles and its potential application in PCs. Unified memory refers to a shared pool of memory that can be accessed by both the CPU and GPU, allowing for more efficient data transfer and reduced latency. However, the hosts argue that unified memory may not be suitable for PCs due to the complexity of their architecture and the need for configurability. They suggest that a more efficient approach might be to have separate pools of memory for the CPU and GPU, with the SSD feeding the GPU directly.
