I managed to make #chatgpt write a code to extract all of my posts and comments from HIVE. It took more than 10 attempts of error fixing, but I'm amazed at the results!!

Now, what to do with it...

That is what LeoAi is suppose to do. We will see if we get an update on it.

This output should be too big for LeoAI, but if LeoAI was able to be precise for things like this, its value will be amazing!!!

I remember that too... I also remeber when we were very excited for a 512MB RAM, and 64MB graphic card. Now, we're seeing 8GB RAM as too low to run anything.

Good times.~

Sooner or later, this will certainly have an impact on technology.

CHINA PRODUCES 13 BILLION pairs of shoes per year. That's enough to supply 60 percent of the world's population with shoes. China also produces 60 percent of the world's cell phones, 70 percent of our toys and almost 80 percent of our solar panels. The country will soon be selling us the majority of our electric cars.

CHINA IS AGING. It is the next huge sociological revolution that is shaking the country. Despite the abandonment of the one- and two-child policy, many young Chinese women no longer want to have children. China's rapid graying will soon have huge economic consequences for the world. Over the next decade, 300 million people will retire from the workforce for reasons of age. That is almost equivalent to the population of the United States. Who will then be at the "workbench of the world"?

Ziina banks $22M as growth explodes for the UAE-based fintech for small businesses

The Dubai-based startup, which now counts 50,000 retail and business customers in the UAE, has netted $22 million led by Altos Ventures.

In June 2021, Ziina, fresh from completing YC’s first cohort that year and securing a $7.5 million seed, launched its fintech app to 20,000 retail customers, allowing them to send and receive money.

Three years later, the Dubai-based startup, which now counts 50,000 retail and business customers byafter expanding its offerings to meet the needs of micro, small, and medium-sized businesses in the UAE, has netted $22 million in Series A funding led by Altos Ventures.

#zina #bank #uae

Indeed, such sizable follow-on funding despite the global funding slowdown underscores investors’ confidence in the fintech company’s growth — the company claims 34% month-over-month growth in customers for the last year, and says its revenues have increased ten-fold over the same period.

Co-founder and CEO Faisal Toukan told TechCrunch that three factors made Ziina particularly exciting to investors. They include the rapidly expanding SME segment in the UAE, its focus on product-led growth, and its recently acquired central bank license.

Expanding SME segment

Ziina originated as a peer-to-peer (P2P) payment app for splitting bills, such as for group trips or rent. While the app gained traction with retail customers in the UAE, some who ran businesses sought to use the digital wallet to send and receive payments, too, according to Toukan.

In response, Ziina organically expanded its platform into two segments: Ziina Personal for splitting bills among friends and Ziina Business for collecting payments. The first business feature allowed users to send payment links and get paid through Apple Pay, Google Pay, MasterCard and Visa.

'Hospital at home' startup Doccla raises $46 million for its European expansion

Hospitals around the world regularly face bed shortages -- an issue that can get exacerbated to breaking point when a health scare or other large-scale

Hospitals around the world regularly face bed shortages — an issue that can get exacerbated to breaking point when a health scare or other large-scale disaster occurs. A startup called Doccla is bringing technology to bear to address the issue: it’s building “virtual bed” tech to help doctors remotely manage patients who have either been discharged early, or in some cases never go to the hospital at all. After gaining traction in the U.K. and Ireland, it’s now raised £35 million ($46 million) to expand in Europe.

#technology #healthcare

Lakestar is leading the Series B round; Elaia and several existing investors are also participating. The funding comes two years after Doccla raised a $17 million Series A.

Doccla, which competes with companies like Graphnet and Huma among others, will use the funding in part to hire local teams in new markets. And while the startup’s main focus up to now has been to contract with health services — they include local NHS Trusts in the U.K and Ireland’s Health Service Executive (HSE) — for “virtual bed” tech for patients, it is also supporting virtual clinical trials for pharmaceutics companies; and it has its eye on building a data insights business around all of it.

Doccla’s earliest start came out of Covid-19 headwinds: a big push to keep more people out of hospitals to reduce resource strain led healthcare organizations to sign on to virtual bed solutions like Doccla’s to plug the gap. But as life started to return to normal, the startup also pursued more practical growth strategies. “It’s in our DNA to be revenue-first,” Doccla’s co-founder Martin Ratz said in an interview.

At its core, Doccla’s service is organized around a set of monitoring devices provided to patients along with a mobile phone pre-loaded with its app. These are used to collect data that gets loaded directly into electronic health records. Doctors view the data via a clinician dashboard, and they get special alerts when diagnostic readings need more attention — a strong selling point for overworked staff, and peace of mind for patients at home.

Clearview AI hit with its largest GDPR fine yet as Dutch regulator considers holding execs personally liable

The Netherlands' data protection authority has imposed a penalty of €30.5M on Clearview AI for GDPR violations.

Clearview AI, the controversial U.S.-based, facial recognition startup that built a searchable database of 30 billion images populated by scraping the internet for people’s selfies without their consent, has been hit with its largest privacy fine yet in Europe.

#ai #technology #gdpr

The Netherlands’ data protection authority, Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (AP), said on Tuesday that it has imposed a penalty of €30.5 million — around $33.7M at current exchange rates — on Clearview AI for a raft of breaches of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) after confirming the database contains images of Dutch citizens.

This fine is larger than separate GDPR sanctions imposed by data protection authorities in France, Italy, Greece and the U.K. back in 2022.

In a press release, the AP warned it has ordered an additional penalty of up to €5.1M that will be levied for continued non-compliance, saying Clearview failed to stop the GDPR violations after the investigation concluded, which is why it has made the additional order. The total fine could hit €35.6M if Clearview AI keeps ignoring the Netherlands regulator.

X lets you edit DMs — here is how to use the feature

X, the social network owned by Elon Musk, is finally rolling out one of the most sought-after features for direct messages

X, the social network owned by Elon Musk, is finally rolling out one of the most sought-after features for direct messages: the ability to edit the message.

Over the weekend, X made the edit message feature available to iOS users. One of the engineers at the company posted about the roll-out and said the edit messages function will be available on more platforms soon.

#socialmedia #x #technology #dm

Here is how you can use it:

Open any direct message chat from your X iOS app.
Long press on any message that you sent or tap on the three-dot menu beside the message.
Select the “Edit message” option to modify the sent message.
According to a support page, there is no time limit for editing the messages. In our testing, we found out that you can also edit older DMs on the platform too. However, you can only make five edits overall to a message. The social network applies the same limit on editing posts as well.

While X said that it keeps a log of edited messages for security reasons, it doesn’t show the version history of edited messages at the moment.

Users expect to be able to edit their messages in messaging apps, as other chat apps, such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, and Messenger have had this functionality for a while now. Apple also added the ability to edit messages sent via iMessage with iOS 16.

Amazon's LEAKED Conversation Reveals Stunning Truth About The Future Of Software Engineering

Exclusive: Oxylus Energy strikes “beautiful balance” to make e-fuels for aviation and shipping

Flexible green methanol, which is made without fossil fuels, could rid carbon pollution from a range of industries.

Many airlines and shipping companies say they’ll hit net zero carbon emissions by 2050, but right now they have no clear path toward hitting that target.

From a scientific perspective, ridding those industries of fossil fuels is possible; economically, it’s not. Or at least not yet, claims a young startup. Oxylus Energy thinks it has the key to one part of the equation.

#newsonleo #technology #renewableenergy

The company was spun out of a Yale chemistry lab last year, and it has been working to refine the production of so-called green methanol. Today, most methanol is derived from fossil fuels and used to make petrochemicals, though it can also be used as a transportation fuel. Because of that flexibility, green methanol, which is made without fossil fuels, could rid carbon pollution from a range of industries.

“We think it’s one of the most versatile chemicals that can really decarbonize the hard-to-abate sectors of shipping, aviation, and petrochemicals that are responsible for 11% of emissions right now,” co-founder and COO Harrison Meyer told TechCrunch.

While EVs have made inroads into consumer transportation and trucking, flying and heavy shipping are utterly dependent on energy-dense fossil fuels to make long-distance journeys. Batteries are too heavy, and switching everything over to green hydrogen would require costly retrofits of airplanes and ships.

Motorsports fans will note that methanol has been used as a race fuel for decades, and many of today’s internal combustion engines can burn the stuff with only minor modifications. Some ocean-going ships have also made the switch, and while a barrel of methanol doesn’t hold as much energy as other maritime fuels like diesel, it’s close enough that the industry is giving it serious consideration.

Xavier Niel replaces Coatue’s Laffont on board of TikTok parent ByteDance

French billionaire Xavier Niel is joining the board of directors of TikTok's parent, ByteDance, the company told the South China Morning Post.

French billionaire Xavier Niel is joining the board of directors of TikTok’s parent, ByteDance, the company told the South China Morning Post. It’s an interesting move as Niel isn’t a name that comes up very often for high-profile board positions.

He is replacing Philippe Laffont, the founder of the New York-based investment firm Coatue Management, on ByteDance’s board, per the report. Coatue has been considering selling a portion of its stake in ByteDance, according to a report by The Information on August 23.
