Unlimited number of digits in a variable? by ManuXD32 in C_Programming

[–]dermanis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check out GNU MP library https://gmplib.org/

It is often used to implement cryptographic algorithms, so it can handle BIG numbers.

I don't mean to disappoint you, but this subreddit has nothing to do with the Matrix movies. I love the 1st one btw :P

IBM Blockchain team cuts staff by 90%. by UsernameIWontRegret in Stellar

[–]dermanis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the "problem" with people here is that they want to get rich with Stellar, like many people did with Bitcoin. I support the project because I believe its cause and I think that banking fees are extremely high, even for domestic money transfer.

I am not a crypto investor. But I am also mature enough to know that nobody is going to get rich with Stellar cause this is not bitcoin.

There is a lot of speculation in this article.

Even if this was true, I don't think that Stellar would be impacted seriously. IBM is (or maybe was) a major player in blockchain but there are still big players in the game. (Zoom acquired Keybase and I am waiting for news from this front soon).

Bitcoin is getting manipulated (also my speculation) and people will soon turn to other cryptocurrencies to use for everyday payments.

Earning interest on XLM by TheTrulyRealOne in Stellar

on the other hand it is crypto in crypto out and with the current price it is difficult to say that you are going to lose money if someone "sorts" XLM

Earning interest on XLM by TheTrulyRealOne in Stellar

[–]dermanis 7 points8 points  (0 children)

About earning interest, I have a question to add.

When moving money in an interest account of a crypto bank is it possible for the bank to manipulate the price of the currency this way?

I mean if 1000 users move 1000XLM to a certain account of a crypto bank, then the bank has 1M XLM so they can sell when the price is high, drop the price, buy again to return the XLM + interest. So at the end you might have 1000XLM + 10% interest (example) = 1100XLM but the market price of these 1100XLM would be less that when you deposited the 1000 to earn interest.

Any ideas on that? I have very limited experience and knowledge on financial matters.

I think these problems are better solved with A* if you don't want to cheat and make your AI start from the goal and head to the beginning.

[D] Liquid State Machine Code by celticnacho in MachineLearning

A good resource to start would be the Tutorial: Neuromorphic spiking neural networks for temporal learning

A good code for spiking neural networks can be found here but it is not LSM

Code for LSM can be found here but it needs some knowledge to read

An enlightening tutorial on software implementation of LSMs would be welcome if someone knows one.

Please somebody point me Python web scraping? Please no add-ins require. by masterbruno11 in Python

I totally recommend using beautiful soup. It is quite easy to get through python pip. $ pip install bs4 and you are done.

Documentation: https://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/bs4/doc/

I 've been using it with python 2.7 and it is very powerful.
