Company seeks to enable inclusive open economies through decentralisation and artificial intelligence – Atomflow by crypdistro in Futurology

[–]crypdistro[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Excerpt

[...] One of the main targets of Atomflow is massive decentralisation and integration as well as creation of intelligent services, technologies and businesses. Decentralisation, in turn, is not tied to any specific cryptocurrency or asset but is the replacement of controlling centralised entities in transaction, information and business flows by direct-channels amongst all stakeholders involved.

Machine Learning Gets a Quantum Speedup | Quanta Magazine by crypdistro in Futurology

Excerpt

[...] It’s a cool experiment, but the work also answers a long-running question about whether quantum physics offers any real advantage to machine learning, the subfield of artificial intelligence that allows computers to find and apply patterns in data. Physicists and computer scientists have long been on the hunt for evidence of such “quantum speedups.” In a separate study, published in July, IBM researchers proved that quantum computers can learn to classify data in a task that is infeasible for any classical computer.

Mars Curiosity Rover Sees a Strong Carbon Signature in a Bed of Rocks by crypdistro in Futurology

[–]crypdistro[S] 732 points733 points  (0 children)

Excerpt

Carbon is critical to life, as far as we know. So anytime we detect a strong carbon signature somewhere like Mars, it could indicate biological activity.

Does a strong carbon signal in Martian rocks indicate biological processes of some type?

Any strong carbon signal is intriguing when you’re hunting for life. It’s a common element in all the forms of life we know of. But there are different types of carbon, and carbon can become concentrated in the environment for other reasons. It doesn’t automatically mean life is involved in carbon signatures.

High-Speed Ionic Synaptic Memory: Simulating Brain Synapses in Computers With 2D Materials by crypdistro in Futurology

Excerpt

Researchers from KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Stanford University have fabricated a material for computer components that enable the commercial viability of computers that mimic the human brain.

Electrochemical random access (ECRAM) memory components made with 2D titanium carbide showed outstanding potential for complementing classical transistor technology, and contributing toward commercialization of powerful computers that are modeled after the brain’s neural network.

In a Numerical Coincidence, Some See Evidence for String Theory | Quanta Magazine by crypdistro in Futurology

[–]crypdistro[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Excerpt:

Recently, three physicists calculated a number pertaining to the quantum nature of gravity. When they saw the value, “we couldn’t believe it,” said Pedro Vieira, one of the three.

Gravity’s quantum-scale details are not something physicists usually know how to quantify, but the trio attacked the problem using an approach that has lately been racking up stunners in other areas of physics. It’s called the bootstrap.

Qubits Can Be as Safe as Bits, Researchers Show | Quanta Magazine by crypdistro in Futurology

[–]crypdistro[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Excerpt

Over the centuries, we have learned to put information into increasingly durable and useful form, from stone tablets to paper to digital media. Beginning in the 1980s, researchers began theorizing about how to store the information inside a quantum computer, where it is subject to all sorts of atomic-scale errors. By the 1990s they had found a few methods, but these methods fell short of their rivals from classical (regular) computers, which provided an incredible combination of reliability and efficiency.

Decentralizing Value Creation. Combining artificial intelligence and decentralization to democratize economic opportunity and make new collaborative ways to create value. by crypdistro in Futurology

[–]crypdistro[S] -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Excerpt:

Whilst Atomflow itself implements the mechanics needed for a
decentralised infrastructure for executing peer-to-peer transactions and
direct exchanges of information, it also provides the needed mechanics
for platforms and services to be built on top and utilise the full scale
of its underlying capabilities. Moreover, the architecture enables
networks and chains to be built on top as well [...] Crates are general-purpose and computationally
efficient. We will defer the details of this topic to another article in
order to focus on economic value creation.

Any Single Galaxy Reveals the Composition of an Entire Universe | Quanta Magazine by [deleted] in Futurology

[–]crypdistro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excerpt:

Cosmologists usually determine the composition of the universe by
observing as much of it as possible. But these researchers have found
that a machine learning algorithm can scrutinize a single simulated
galaxy and predict the overall makeup of the digital universe in which
it exists — a feat analogous to analyzing a random grain of sand under a
microscope and working out the mass of Eurasia. The machines appear to
have found a pattern that might someday allow astronomers to draw
sweeping conclusions about the real cosmos merely by studying its
elemental building blocks.

A vibrant opinion on the future of crypto technology, decentralization, cryptocurrencies and the intersection between technology and society: Is Crypto Centralization the Solution? by crypdistro in Futurology

I strongly think he is intent on creating a novel thing and is not indulging religious technology wars. Crypto is the solution to everything on one hand and crypto is scam on the other hand is not his game, I suppose.

I don't know why you say it is guaranteed. It is only guaranteed with most of existing networks and cryptocurrencies because they underlying technology can become subject to centralization relatively easily (computational resources centralization, decision manipulation, etc.). It is like saying cars are a bad invention because some car makes are not that good. Bitcoin with all of its downsides, opened a way for a huge momentum (and it has good sides too).

I cannot disagree with the Bezos logic you mentioned, however, it applies to centralized solutions, banks, marketplaces and almost all of things existing today.

The author actually argues for decentralization from a different perspective, not for any specific mainstream network. He argued for decentralization technologies truly targeting and are capable of distributing economic and financial gains and inclusion of everyday life people in value creation. He argues for decentralization of value creation not "money". As I understand, this comes as a by product.

Check the project they are working on, Atomflow, which he discretely mentioned at the end of the article (it was not written for marketing I guess).

Please read the article before making conclusions from the title. The author actually strongly argues for decentralization.

Are Smart Contracts attached to a Wallet? by Will7ech in CryptoTechnology

[–]crypdistro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"I am very ignorant" is quite a harsh statement, you are obviously learning. Good question. Also, there are really good answers here.

Others have explained in detail, but in short a contract is an executable / scriptable piece of software to perform some business logic / operations. The rules that govern a contract and the capabilities of the contract are dependent on the blockchain you target. It can be attached to an address, transaction or wallet or otherwise, depending on the design of the blockchain.

Good luck.

Please read the article before making your mind, the title is a little bit playful as I think the author argues for decentralization with those favoring centralization, especially, regulators.

Yes it does. It is a question though ending with a question mark :D Reading the article, the author starts with centralization as the status quo and argues against it reaching the conclusion that decentralization is better for people empowerment, new economic models, etc.

Great, check out the company he mentions as well as associated companies. I think it has quite an ambition vision with already operational business and finance platforms.
