It's so humbling to read how complex such calculations can get. I took a crack at making a JS client side zooming app a while back and it was miserably slow and would run out of memory as the number precision was limited by JS's max float size...

Here it is nonetheless if anyone's curious :

Stablecoins are much better for payments, no one would use BTC for goods and services with the transaction fee and the confirmation time being so bad.

TL;DR from the article : Stablecoins settled $10.8T worth of transactions in 2023 of which $2.3T were related to organic activities including payments and cross-border remittances, among others

Today’s payment giants suffer from major disadvantages including high transaction costs, slower settlement times and limited transparency albeit there are tradeoffs to stablecoins too

What bothers me about this is that, yes, moving too fast with Ai to the point of disruption or where society can't keep up is a problem.

Yet, restricting OpenAi on the other hand won't prevent other big companies from building their own in-house GPT-4 (or GPT5) level model. We're going there whether the government likes it or not, At the very least OpenAi is transparent (more than Google or facebook at least).

This is really cool !

I built a self hosted Spotify alternative a while back. The idea was to be able to listed to your own music from anywhere with most of the useful features of Spotify.

Glad to see people showing some love to fractals !

A year ago, I built a tool to explore the Mandelbrot set fractal on the browser using vanilla JS.
