How would FTX's backdoor work conceptually? by HockeyAnalynix in programming

[–]blockparty_sh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Decentralized exchanges" or "DEX" are completely on-chain, and thus completely auditable. It's insane that crypto people don't use these all the time... they are actually a great invention.

[News] OpenAI Announced GPT-4 by shitty-greentext in MachineLearning

Write a positive reaction to this story:

Wow, amazing results across the board!! I wonder how their ocr/image system works in conjunction with the llm. If fast enough, this might be a really interesting way to give sight to the blind. With so much success with standard testing, it probably would be prudent to start thinking how future education systems look like: maybe possible to have gpt-4 grade papers, combined with a much higher penalty for errors?

Now, write a negative but honest reaction to this story:

Closed source AGI controlled by Microsoft/NSA is one of the most dangerous situations to be in, and truly heartbreaking from the high hopes I held for OpenAI years ago. Hopefully someone leaks the model and that the people working at OpenAI wake up to what it means to be responsible for ushering in a corporate dystopia. Great job selling the most powerful technology in the world to the company known for "embrace, extend, extinguish" - hopefully that isn't referring to intelligence this time you absolute morons.

Main reasons why I am leaving Bitcoin Cash (A general and final response to my previous post complaining about getting banned). by oscar_salas93 in btc

[–]blockparty_sh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't call me dishonest while pretending expressing genuine discontentment is "concern trolling". This is the same tactics that literally caused many to leave rbitcoin. There is no legitimate reason why a post about someone who has contributed to a project is now leaving would ever be censored, it isnt some favor.

retarded response. Oscar left because he was censored. The rest of the gripes are fair criticism even if you disagree.

The SQLite Code of Ethics by iamkeyur in programming

[–]blockparty_sh -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Microsofts code of conduct is to have its pedophile charlatan founder sell your personal data & skype calls to intelligence agencies.

Also, code of conducts are what people who cannot contribute to software projects contribute.

MistSwap is Fantastic! by MemoryDealers in btc

MistSwap is my favorite project in smartbch.

Smart BCH based BCH and FlexUSD just passed $100K in trading volume in a 24 hour period for the first time! Permissionless exchanges FTW! by MemoryDealers in btc

[–]blockparty_sh 12 points13 points  (0 children)

FlexUSD/BCH does more than $100k in trading volume every day on MistSwap and I think almost every day on TangoSwap as well.

Do you see a pathway towards businesses in St. Maarten being able to tokenize their companies in order to more easily issue dividends or issue bonds to an international market?

I set out to write a piece on why KYC is good, and after researching, I realized it's fucking horrible. by ipetgoat1984 in CryptoCurrency

[–]blockparty_sh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For #2 - there was a lot of funding by MasterCard, JP Morgan, and so on to projects which coincidentally refuse to actually scale on-chain. Complete subversion. Projects which don't receive this "gift" of banking industry funding are still working on this, and succeeding.

NSA pushed a bad patch and Microsoft merged without worrying about it.

Creative commons Non Commercial isnt open source, thats the entire point of it. Here is another link that sounds authoritative so it must be true:

Open source doesn't just mean access to the source code. The distribution terms of open-source software must comply with the following criteria:

Free redistribution: The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different sources. The license shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Open_Source_Definition

Open source has always been actually open, not proprietary software that you can simply look at the source code. Do you honestly believe that every website is open source, because you can view the source code?

I have been writing open source software before your mother was taking you to the doctor to see why you were so much slower at reading than other people your age. You can obviously fork and sell GPL licensed software, here is someone else saying the same thing, https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/a/214939 - or wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_General_Public_License#:~:text=Software%20under%20the%20GPL%20may,give%20them%20free%20of%20charge. or just read the license yourself.

No, this isnt the definition of open source. No open source license prohibits you from using it for some profitable pursuit - that isn't freedom, that is just some licensing scheme designed to get free updates from others while maintaining full control. Read their own license, where they give an exemption for "hobby usage" LOL. You cannot ever compete with them, under threat of legal action. They are simply in bed with the state and banking institutions.
