It seems likely that the FTX creditors will be made whole or nearly whole. This is in large part due to FTX's investment in Anthropic that did a 5X[1]. 1: https://coinscreed.com/ftx-creditor-claims-break-50c-as-buye...

The GitHub Desktop app changes some terminology to make it more usable, for example "Undo" instead of "reset HEAD~". I typically make aliases for this sort of thing in my terminal, but it would be great if some of those

I serve about 60TB/mo from my house (100K+ YouTube videos equivalent) and pay $100/mo for internet. So $0.001 per video would cover my ISP costs (not including server and storage infra). My biggest issue with running a service li

I get all of my recipes from GPT-4 these days. Granted, most of them are just regurgitating a common recipe, but I find that it's able to tweak recipes appropriately if I say "I'm out of X, can I use Y or Z instead?" - I

I was curious if GPT-4 Vision could explain it: The paper presents a geometric problem centered on equilateral triangles. The key question is whether it's possible to use \( n^2 + 1 \) small equilateral triangles (each with side length

GUSD is FDIC insured though. GUSD deposited in the 'Earn' program is not. Just like your bank account dollars are no longer FDIC insured once you buy bonds with them.

Is creativity something innate in humans, or can it be learned? I would argue that if a human can learn creativity then an AI can too. By the way, here's GPT-4 "Write a description of an unlikely basketball player. Be creative.&qu

That's one thing you really have to love about crypto. Getting the equivalent data from a stock exchange would cost you $$$ and come with all sorts of license agreements and restrictions on republishing the data.

Sounds like your bot hit some edge case and was min-maxing on long tail shitcoins with no liquidity on Uniswap. You maybe could have done a bit better than $700 via TWAP but likely not much more than $10k or so. It's just not that poss

On blockchain, you store the aggregated signature / Merkle root of all the images hashes. For the actual hashes, you can back them up in multiple places literally anywhere, including the image metadata itself. The advantage is nobody n

That is helpful to know for Docker containers, thank you. The use-case where we find the renaming most frustrating is typically when we start a cloud instance with a Tailscale setup script in the cloud init (via Terraform). If we, say, chan

I wonder if this will fix the issue of appending -n to new ephemeral servers that join the network. For example, if you have a service wiki-1 and that container/instance gets restarted, it then appears on your tailnet as wiki-1 making

You would just use any sort of aggregation scheme to include multiple hashes at once. Even concatenating 1000 image hashes and hashing that would allow you to prove later that they were all included.

You can store the hash on a public Blockchain and the timestamp of that transaction will be verifiable.

I mean they would literally just store hashes of all the content that they generate and compare it vs their database. No AI involved.

This is the best solution IMO - Blockchain allows others to independently verify the time that media was created without needing to trust some random company's database / API in perpetuity.

But if both images had a timestamp in the signature, wouldn’t you be able to prove that the original was taken first?

For practical uses the cryptography is quite new. Essentially if you cryptographically sign an image coming out of a sensor then you’re only getting whatever original version of it is and if you modify it even just to resize it for web for

Not saying they should, but if they wanted to they could have an API that allows you to check whether some text was generated by them or not. Then Google would be able to check search results and downrank.

Definitely depends on what you classify as illegal and how you count it. For example, if I count FTX ($9bn), UST ($18bn), and LUNA ($40bn) I'm already at 5% of the crypto market cap.
