at a high level, how did you implement this? Are you storing the phash of each image in the database and then when new images are uploaded, do you query the database to see if any matches return? If so, how does that query actually work? Or

I work deeply in heavy duty trucking technology in the US, and literally recently talked to many operators of large fleets about electrification. The only real opportunity for electrification is on short haul, less than ~300mi routes. For e

I think the big part is that farming with hard drives is a much more approachable thing to do than to try and mine BTC/ETH, considering both of those at a minimum require crazy GPU hardware, if not full blown custom chips, that no norm
