Last week, I suspected that Vitalik's X account might have been hacked when I saw a post featuring a meme of a bull with a tag around its neck that boldly read, ‘*Ethereum is good*’ Vitalik succumbed to popular requests to be less philosophical on his X account. But this ‘experiment’ lasted for just one day.

GitHub supports Actions, which are automated processes that can run one or more jobs, including `CI/CD` pipelines. Actions are what GitHub will run according to your configuration. It is straightforward to set up the workflow. Additionally, you can create integration with external services, including PyPi.

Puppeteer Extra enhances Puppeteer by adding plugin support to tackle its limitations. This lightweight wrapper introduces plugins for tasks like evading bot detection, solving CAPTCHAs, and blocking unwanted resources. Despite its strengths, advanced anti-bot systems can still detect Puppeteer. Explore Puppeteer Extra’s plugins to elevate your web scraping game, but be aware that sophisticated bot defenses may still pose challenges.

New research suggests that phone usage among American adults has surged by nearly 60 percent since the pandemic. Around the world, humans are spending at least 40% of their waking hours looking at screens. Excessive screen time can have a myriad of negative effects on a person’s physical and mental health.

Bram Cohen is an American computer scientist who invented the BitTorrent file-sharing protocol. He is also considered an early cypherpunk, because he’s been dedicated to creating privacy-oriented and peer-to-peer (P2P) software. Cohen co-founded the company BitTorrent Inc. in 2004, which is still around today.

BC.GAME has announced a significant evolution in its brand journey with the launch of a comprehensive upgrade. The initiative features a revitalized visual identity, an enhanced user interface, and innovative product offerings. At the core of the brand upgrade is BC.GAME’s dedication to emerging games.

The claim that the Lorentz model is a useful tool for investigating bimolecular reactions in solutions became credible only after the publication of Burschka and Titulaer’s numerical solution of the one-dimensional KKE 4. A Procrustean random walk model that allows no distribution of path lengths seems (to me) unphysical, much like the lattice model that informed Smoluchowksi's thinking (about the boundary condition at an...

Every day, I receive a bunch of content that I immediately identify as AI generated. There are telltale signs such as usage of words like ‘delve’, ‘underscore’ and ‘revolutionize’ Sentence formations also are typical, which remind of lifeless essays from school time. The problem is AI has made it too easy.

The ability to process and analyze vast amounts of information quickly and efficiently is no longer a competitive advantage—it’s a survival imperative. Despite increases in CPU power, traditional CPU-based data processing architectures struggle to keep up with modern analytics workloads. The emergence of Generative AI has further highlighted this tipping point, creating demands beyond what CPUs can handle efficiently or affordably.

Brazil’s government has unveiled a comprehensive plan to develop fully homegrown artificial intelligence (AI) models for use across various sectors of public administration. The initiative aims to secure technological autonomy, boost the competitiveness of the Brazilian economy, and promote the responsible use of AI. The project calls for an investment of R$ 23 billion by 2028, with the majority of the funding provided by the...

Rocko is a new marketplace that connects crypto owners with the best DeFi lending protocols, enabling them to access crypto-backed loans quickly and securely. Users can access competitive rates from leading DeFi protocols — starting with Compound — and set up a loan within minutes, regardless of their level of expertise.

Between 2019 and 2023, 40% of U.S. employees started working from home at least one day per week. Supporting a remote and hybrid workforce presents new leadership challenges. Research shows that remote workers are 10-20% less productive. But hybrid workers are as effective as in-office workers.

In this AMA with Linda from DeGate, we discuss the Ethereum Writing Contest and Ethereum as a whole. Learn what our sponsors think about these topics and get a few writing tips!

Andrea Renzetti, Department of Economics, Alma Mater Studiorium Universit`a di Bologna, Piazza Scaravilli 2, 40126 Bologina, Italy. The construction of a theory coherent prior builds on the idea that an economic theory implies restrictions on the parameters of the TVP-VAR. Intuitively we can find out these restrictions by specifying a prior distribution.

Ricky Zhang is a design engineer at Mintlify, a San Francisco-based company that uses AI to help developers create and maintain documentation. Zhang is part of a new wave of professionals tired of the old “designers vs. engineers” rivalry. By merging design thinking with engineering prowess, Zhang has streamlined processes that once involved multiple handoffs.

K. Razi Naqvi, Department of Physics, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), 7094 Trondheim, Norway. The author is interested in a black sphere, we will set 𝛼 = 1 in ref 15 of Ziff, 1949.

Time-varying parameters Vector Autoregressive (TVP-VAR) models are frequently used in economics to capture evolving relationships among the macroeconomic variables. The paper shows that using the classical 3-equation New Keynesian block to form a prior for the TVPVAR substantially enhances forecast accuracy in a standard model of monetary policy.

K. Razi Naqvi, Department of Physics, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), 7094 Trondheim, Norway. Far from the wall the density increases linearly with distance, as one expects from the diffusion equation. The value we find for this “Milne extrapolation length” is, in the appropriate dimensionless units, approximately twice the value found in the radiative transfer problem.

K. Razi Naqvi, Department of Physics, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), 7094 Trondheim, Norway. The problem is to determine the density of the particles inside the medium. The solution is the Brownian analog of the Milne problem, in which particles move in three-dimensional space, but plane symmetry prevails.
