It depends on the country. In most countries holding and using USD (or other) stablecoins is legal, just like it's legal to own foreign cash. Some countries have stricter currency controls and regulations, i.e. holding USD cash might b

That's exactly why Bitcoin was created and why it's popular. It's maximally transparent and trustless money system to minimize scamming. These properties do not extend to other cryptocurrencies, which are mostly scams.

No, that's completely different thing. Mining power only "decides" about the blocks in the blockchain. 51% is only relevant in the context of taking over the blockchain by 51% attack. Software versions and updates require soc

Vision-language-action models seem to be the broad category for the best approach, which basically combines a large vision-language model with robotic actions. For example, see https://www.physicalintelligence.company/blog&#

No, I really did mean "owned by the public". Which means that the company is actually 100% owned by the state and they would have a monopoly, assuming that you'd want to ban commercial operators. This is the usual interpretat

Obviously the opposite. Competition keeps prices low and quality high. "Publicly-owned" would be expensive and low quality, and would make the people running the operation filthy rich. Non-profit would mean that whoever is running

I think the tone of the message would be way more serious if it was a serious accusation based on actual evidence. Now it reads like a kindergarten level conspiracy theory, which almost seems like a joke. The silly claim was that Trump bein

I think this is too serious issue to make such jokes. Sadly this is their actual stance, and this is why everyone who opposes EU's overreaching policies are labeled as 'right-wing extremists'. In Germany they go as far as to

This is great news. Stablecoins issued by banks are much better digital cash than CBDCs (central bank digital currency). EU is currently trying very hard to implement their own CBDC, and stablecoins will directly compete with it. A CBDC is

Yes, definitely. "remote operator" is a human or an LLM which is able to make high-level decisions (i.e. what to do in a novel weird situation), but doesn't directly pilot the vehicle. Generally speaking, on-board compute is

It's not really suitable. Blender uses polygonal modeling, which is quite limiting. It's possible but very difficult compared to CAD, unless you're modeling something organic like human figures. I'm currently using Shapr

One additional trick that some people are doing is printing just the shell and then filling the 3d print with some kind of resin, foam or concrete. Here's a concrete filled CNC machine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L
