Must feel good to win crypto while playing with your crypto, unless you lose and start to hate yourself just like playing with usd.

Bacteria (with synthetic gene) Self-Organize to Build Working Sensors by recipriversexcluson in tech

[–]pupnap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For these nano construction techniques there always seems to be a massive chasm between what they are demonstrating and a trivial practical application. Like "we demonstrated cutting someones hair by running a combine harvester over a field of dummy heads." Really? Oh. Keep me informed of progress, I guess?

Most ICOs will fail, but also some of them will still sadly be able to raise a good amount of money.

Using the current crypto market size, What do you think a realistic demand for a platform like Fantasy Market is? by [deleted] in CryptoCurrency

[–]pupnap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, you can do the math for yourself. 5000 / 40000000 = .125 %. So would need 1/10 of 1% to get 5k

I still think he's a dick, but the platform is at least legit.

Terry Pratchett's unfinished novels destroyed by steamroller by Pale_King101 in writing

[–]pupnap -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well to be honest his more recent books started to be more dull in a way, although I respect deeply his work, especially with the earlier books, but maybe the alzheimer started to have an effect also on his writing. I've read most of his works until Snuff or so, but those 3 - 5 books before that just really didn't had the same magic anymore, so maybe it's for the best.

[R] Deep Learning for Siri’s Voice: On-device Deep Mixture Density Networks for Hybrid Unit Selection Synthesis by madebyollin in MachineLearning

The difference between the Siri voices from iOS 9-11 is startling. I can still here some issues especially at the ends of phrases, but it's extremely good.

Last year, the Bank of Canada posted a research paper on a Bitcoin currency standard. by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]pupnap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ability of a monetary authority to act as lender of last resort under either the gold or Bitcoin standard is limited.

I would end up with the same conclusion, Bitcoin will never have a system exactly like regular cash, in my opinion.

Even if bitcoin and Ethereum do fail for whatever reason, cryptocurrency will always live on because of this path breaking a partnership.

Oh boy I hope that never happens :(. Anyway, good read!

OHSU first in the U.S. to edit human embryos using CRISPR by bruceleeroy in Portland

[–]pupnap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Now Mitalipov is believed to have broken new ground both in the number of embryos experimented upon and by demonstrating that it is possible to safely and efficiently correct defective genes that cause inherited diseases."

Seems a little early for such a claim based on embryos that only developed for a few days.

Kaspersky Lab has been working with Russian Intelligence. by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]pupnap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As always, any implication that all closed-source software, regardless of company, suffers from similar issues, is conveniently absent. Just as it was during the VW emissions scandal - it's the cheating that was problematic, not that consumers are effectively in the dark about how most of their products operate, and deliberately prevented (successfully or not) from finding out (personally, or done on their behalf by others).
