The printing press led to the scientific revolution, the discovery of electricity brought light to the world, radio waves changed the way information was delivered to the masses, and the internet completely overhauled the way we communicate and interact with information. In the same vein, over the short space of a decade, Bitcoin has had a similarly disruptive and innovative effect on the financial world and the technology underpinning cryptocurrency has gone on to influence a number of sectors in the global economy. October 31 marks the 10 year anniversary of the release of Bitcoin’s white paper, which described the way in which the Bitcoin protocol would work. Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System was published on a cryptography mailing list in November 2008 following the initial publication of the work. Wei Dai’s b-money, Dr. B-money
Gephi - The Open Graph Viz Platform Flu & Ebola Map | Virus & Contagious Disease Surveillance FiveThirtyEight What if A.I. gets 100x better in a matter of months? (Interconnected) I posted the other day about the current artificial intelligence cutting edge GPT-3, and its ability to write like a human. But since running across the following article, the idea of an A.I. overhang has been stuck in my head: what if artificial intelligences could get 100-1,000x more competent in a matter of only months? An overhang is when you have had the ability to build transformative AI for quite some time, but you haven’t because no-one’s realised it’s possible. Then someone does and surprise! It’s a lot more capable than everyone expected.I am worried we’re in an overhang right now. There are numbers in the post, but the argument goes that a 100x more effective A.I. will cost in the range of only $1bn, which is a relatively small fraction of Big Tech R&D. Intel’s expected 2020 revenue is $73bn. At what point do self-driving cars effectively become solved… and what if it was in only 6 months? British call centres employ 1.3 million people, 4% of the UK workforce.
Ensemble de carte postale Art de la musique Cassette DengueMap Marker Color Marker color reflects the noteworthiness of events at a particular location during a given time window. An event's degree of noteworthiness is based on the significance rating of the alert provided by HealthMap users. In the absence of user ratings, the system assigns a composite score based on the disease importance and the news volume associated with the alert. If a location's marker has multiple alerts, the color associated with the most prominent alert is used. Marker Size The large circle indicates a country-level alert, while state, province and local alerts are indicated by the small circle. Chart Porn Blocking Calls I implemented the scripts for Blockr, and found there was a ~2 second amount of time before the ringer would be silenced for calls I wanted to ignore/block. My solution to the ringer issue requires setting the ring volume to zero by default, and then two profiles - one for what I want to accept, and one for handling the calls I don't want.

Instructions Blocking Calls The following will setup Tasker to screen incoming calls. To set Tasker to not provide the caller with the ability to leave a voicemail, add a task for taking the call before ending it:
Diatonic (Dulcimer-Style) Fretting - What it is, How and Why to Use It Related entries Most folks are familiar, at least by sight, with the six-string guitar – whether an acoustic guitar like a Martin or an electric guitar like a Fender Stratocaster™. So it is natural that when people think of frets, or a fretboard, they think of a guitar fretboard – an evenly distributed collection of frets that get closer together the further you go up the neck towards the guitar body. First, let’s start with what Diatonic (Dulcimer) fretting is NOT… On a standard guitar, like the Fender Strat mentioned above, or the cigar box guitar in the photo below, it is said to be fretted on a chromatic scale. The trade-off is that a chromatically fretted instrument gives you the most options when playing – you can play any song in any key (as long as you know where to put your fingers). Note in the photo of the cigar box guitar above, how the frets proceed up the neck towards the guitar body, with a slightly smaller space between each one. In summary…
