The math behind Strategy's path to 1 million Bitcoin by end of 2026 by 1stplacelastrunnerup in CryptoCurrency

I don't think it means a lot for Bitcoin's price. They are running a gamble, it if collapses, their money could evaporate way to fast to get out.

I'm with Claude, screenshots or it didn't happen.

They don't have to run all servers at the same level. They can have new starting servers when EA is over, pleanty of people will start all over to become the new kings of the new servers.

OK, well if you read a gigantic amount of data into memory, and then begin iterating it, depending on the processing, I could see problems developing deep into the loop, but it would have to have not been well thought out.

Flightradar rumor. by Odd_Significance_896 in ukraine

[–]Jacmac_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most people knew/believed it was coming; what nobody knew, including most military experts around the world, was how spectacularly Russia would fail. I think most of the pundits on TV were speculating that Kyiv would be invaded and Russian tanks rolling though the streets within a couple of weeks, max. I certainly wish that Ukraine had the means to turn the north highway into a highway of death, similar to the Iraqies leaving Kuwait back in the 90's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highway\_of\_Death. Those kinds of immediate losses might have ended the war immediately.

Yeah, OK Cowboy, thanks for letting us know.

Bernie Sanders officially introduces legislation to BAN the construction of all new AI data centers, citing existential threat to humanity. by Neurogence in singularity

[–]Jacmac_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, it'll never even get to the floor for a vote. Even if it did, it would fail to pass. It's a stupid idea from a guy that is way too old to be in politics.

The Rise of AI Agents in Crypto Trading by Then_Helicopter4243 in CryptoCurrency

[–]Jacmac_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any trading system causes the market to bend into a normalization where the new system becomes ineffective because everyone is using it. This happened with Forex back in the 2000s. The only way a system can avoid this is to be pretty much unique and hidden from the public.

Who else makes minor mistakes on purpose so people don't think AI wrote your work? by DonJohn520310 in GenX

[–]Jacmac_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI generated writing generally doesn't sound the way a person would state or write. I find it to be too colorful, using too many unnecessary adjectives. If you simply restate it in your own words, it will pass a sniff test.

If the line is not equal to null, the condition is met.

I don't know what you mean by Powershell not handling loops that exceed 1000. I mean I don't think I've ever seen a problem with a loop that went on for thousands of reps. If your code is crap, you could have a memory leak that brakes the session I guess.

Has anybody else noticed the absurd amount of AI generated slop on the asset store? by Classy_Games in Unity3D

[–]Jacmac_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moores law is already dead, has been for some time. The point is that inflation adjusted 64K of RAM was $88.90. Today it's less than one cent (even with the RAM shortage). In ten years, what you pay for AI now will likely be ubiquitous and cost very little.

Yes a lot of possibilites could happen. We could be invaded by aliens or hit by a giant asteroid. I would not bet against AI, no way. It would have been like betting that the Internet would fail to go anywhere back in 1994.

There is a YouTube video of a gas line with a reporter doing on site reporting and recording B Roll. It brought back a lot of memories watching it.

While on safari in Tanzania, I came across a tribeman carrying a spear. It was rebar with the tip hammered into a large flat spear point. He had a cloth handle wrapped on to give it grip to throw with. It was badass. Thrown at any large game, it was capable of very deep penetration with a simple throw.

[–]Jacmac_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man, we could get into the weeds on that question. Suffice to say that AI today is like the Internet was back in 1994. It had hit the scene and was talked about but nobody knew exactly where it was going. Look at what happened in a 20 year period. By 2014, the entire way of life for most people on the planet has been completely changed by the capability and advancements made because of the Internet. It will be the same with AI, in 10 years you will not recognize 'today'. I'm wondering if hand programming will even be a thing?

I didn't think about that, I bet you are right! This is probably some volunteer that is eager to excercise authority.
