The sentiment analysis stack was one big codebase for data ingestion, model inference, logging, and storage. It worked great, until traffic shot up forcing us to over-provision every single component. In this post, I’ll show you how we pivoted to microservices, leveraging Kubernetes, and a streaming ETL pipeline.

The upcoming launch of $SESH represents a significant milestone for Session, as it seeks to create a sustainable and decentralized messaging ecosystem.

72% of consumers are more likely to purchase a product or service when it is presented in their native language. 40% actively avoid buying from websites that only offer content in English. Companies that invest in localization not only enhance customer satisfaction but also achieve faster market expansion and revenue growth.

It is unlikely that cryptocurrencies will overtake fiat in the coming years. However, we are gradually moving towards this point.

Crypto’s $3T market and 560M users shine, yet privacy woes stall big money—think $26.3T from top asset holders. Bitcoin’s open ledger clashes with traditional finance’s closed doors. Tools like zero-knowledge proofs and Panther Protocol aim to shield transactions without killing blockchain’s core perks. Regulations loom, pushing transparency, but privacy could unlock crypto’s future. The clock’s ticking.

Donald Trump signed an executive order to establish a strategic reserve of Bitcoin and other digital assets. The U.S. won’t sell the Bitcoin in the reserve because it’s keeping it long-term. A separate "digital assets stockpile" for other forfeited cryptocurrencies exist, broadening the scope.

While "meme-stablecoins" (Ardoino's term for compliance-focused stablecoins) chased regulatory approval and institutional partnerships, Tether focused on actual user adoption and utility. This market-focused approach turned USDT into the backbone of global crypto liquidity and a top-20 holder of US Treasuries. The results speak volumes: regulatory gold stars don't matter when nobody uses your product. Tether didn't win by being rebellious—it won by understanding that...

Telegram Mini Apps (TMA) are small, interactive web applications that live inside Telegram bots. TMA Starter Kit is a pre-built foundation for creating Telegram Mini Apps. The kit comes pre-wired with everything you need, so you can focus on building features, not infrastructure.

If your customers are pushing you to implement AI features into your application, try Neuron, it takes just a few lines of code to implement your first full featured agent.

Derivatives can be created from any underlying asset, Stocks, Bonds, Cryptocurrencies, commodities, etc. Derivatives are used in two major ways. Hedging purposes are usually used by larger players. Speculation and arbitrage are used by smaller/retail traders.

Data security is a major concern in enterprise AI workflows utilizing Large Language Models (LLMs). Providers have varying data retention policies, affecting privacy and compliance. Enterprises can enhance security by verifying provider policies, using private deployments, anonymizing data, and enforcing enterprise agreements. Compliance frameworks like GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC 2 Type II play a critical role in ensuring AI governance.

Variadic templates in C++11 enable functions and classes to accept any number of arguments, reducing complexity. Fold expressions (C++17) simplify variadic operations further by eliminating recursion and improving readability. This guide covers code examples, use cases, and optimizations for modern C++ development.

The cryptocurrency market is experiencing an intense wave of change as Trump’s proposal for a U.S. Crypto Reserve has sent shockwaves through the industry. With Cardano (ADA), XRP, and Solana (SOL) all gaining momentum, the focus now shifts to the groundbreaking developments expected to unfold at the White House Crypto Summit on March 7th. Coldware (COLD), the rising star in the decentralized finance (DeFi)...

Io’s atmospheric loss mechanisms and their impact on the Jovian magnetosphere remain poorly understood. Despite assumptions linking volcanic activity to plasma torus variations, observational data show no definitive correlation. Key uncertainties include transient atmospheric changes, the role of volcanic outgassing, and connections between mass loss, dust, and auroral phenomena.

Periodic spikes in Jupiter’s plasma torus and neutral clouds suggest Io occasionally releases more mass, possibly linked to volcanic activity. Observations indicate supply rate surges up to 3-4 times normal, but the exact mechanism remains uncertain.

This post tries to explain in detail the inner blocks of Transformer architecture which is the secret sauce behind all the [Large language models] and Chatbots. Transformer is an architecture whose main goal is to solve sequence-to-sequence tasks while handling long-range dependencies with ease. It can take advantage of parallelization and relies on [attention mechanism] to draw global dependencies between input and output.

Io’s volcanic activity and atmospheric processes feed Jupiter’s plasma torus with about 1 ton of material per second. While stable mass transport mechanisms are well understood, the cause of sudden changes in torus density remains uncertain.
