The reward for mining a block is over a quarter of a million dollars these days. $250k / 4k transactions = apx $62.50 per transaction. Around $8 is from the transaction fee from the sender, the other $54 is from the block reward minted out of thin air.
Swamp coolers.
Fans blow over water to lower the pressure, causing evaporation to occur at room temperature.
Evaporating water absorbs heat from its surroundings without raising the water’s temperature as it undergoes a phase change. It absorbs nearly 20 times more heat than it would from being heated from 50 degrees F to 100 degrees.
In a recent interview, Zynga’s vice-president of player succcess, Gemma Doyle, referred unabashedly to internal models that identify people who are on course to spend high sums.
Should they reduce their outlay, she told GamesIndustry.biz, the company would “reach out and call them to find out what’s wrong”.
wtf
No, it’s more like checking out every book from the library, and spending 450 years training at the speed of light, being evaluated on how well you can exactly reproduce the next part of any snippet taken from any book.
Makes you wonder if they’re going to just start implementing the version number on every update, sorta like Chrome does these days. Will we see another Windows 95 eventually?
Yeah that’s one of the major issues I have with it. It gives people a way to take their responsibilities, delegate it to an AI, and wash their hands of the inevitable subpar result. Not even just in programming, I think over time we’re going to see more and more metrics replaced with AI scores and businesses escaping liability by blaming it on those AI decisions.
Back in the realm of programming, I’m seeing more and more often people “saving time” by trying to use GPT to do the first 90% but then just not doing the last 90% at all that GPT couldn’t do.
Reddit is Fun (RIF) had to rename to “rif is fun” as well
Not too surprised. I know PHP has a reputation these days of being old and crufty but at the same time there hasn’t really been a killer replacement yet for the same use cases where PHP is/was used. React and Vue are all the rage for frontend work, but their paradigm is all about single page apps which is a bit limiting for something on the scale of Kbin. Other backend frameworks like Django tend to be fairly opinionated and lock you into developing in a certain way without providing a large enough benefit to make it worth it.
IDK maybe there are better frameworks that I just haven’t heard of. But whenever I go to start personal projects, the options seem to be Express, Flask, or PHP, all of which have their own tradeoffs. Personally I lean more towards Express or Flask but it’s not surprising to see people stick with PHP.
It’s especially disappointing given the mission statement of beehaw. You know, the one they require every user to read when signing up and write a statement about?
