@w1nklerr Everything about this article is false. While the Spark has its own usecase(primarily research). The 70B models are nowhere close to the SOTA models. You can get a good 200 dollar codex or claude code plan and get the most out that than the 5k plus the electricity costs you’d pay
@maistebuilds I wonder how the local banks/fintechs would respond to users switching over to stablecoin backed accounts. This is taking money away from the local markets. If everyone wants to hold USD(including merchants and businesses) what happens to transacting in pesos?
@sytaylor Two things that come to my mind
If a stable‑coin issuer launches its own wallet, won’t it still bleed margin to keep the token liquid on big exchanges?
If the genius bill kills on‑chain yield, isn’t “tokenized deposits” basically a hacky workaround rather than a real fix?
This looks like a robot dog dancing to disco lights, but it's actually a very cool visualization of the neural network that controls the bot!
Blue -> green -> red corresponds to stronger neural activation.
The NN is a multilayer perceptron that maps proprioception (e.g. position, orientation, and acceleration of each body part) to motor control. It can be learned by reinforcement learning in physics simulations.
I have trained a gazillion control NNs before, but never did I see it presented this way. Recently, PyTorch also open-sourced a tool that lets you step in matrix & attention computations immersively. Most people are intuitive learners - we should spend more efforts on visualization!

What is the fundamental goal of #Web3 technology?
News outlets like @Forbes, consultancy firms like @PwC, and finance titans like @jpmorgan believe the value is in real-world asset tokenization, which can streamline processes, reduce counterparty risk, and enhance access to historically inaccessible or illiquid markets.
Put simply, it's about connecting Web3 to underlying economic activity—primary (raw materials), secondary (processing and manufacturing), tertiary (services), and quaternary (technology and engineering). For example, commodities have been tokenized and traded on-chain, blockchains are being used to track products through the supply chain, dApps provide easily accessible lending and borrowing services, and oracles can place guardrails on AI systems. Web3 offers a better, more trust-minimized way of facilitating these mission-critical economic components.
This is the vision of tokenized real-world assets and on-chain finance: Transitioning hundreds of trillions of dollars of already-existing assets into a Web3 format and codifying the processes that facilitate them in smart contracts. The groundwork for these processes has already been laid by #DeFi protocols. This @ChainlinkGod article lays out the current state of real-world asset tokenization and on-chain finance, and explores the challenges ahead: https://t.co/bCjSzhL3a5
For those interested in the real-world impact of Web3, #SmartCon 2023 in Barcelona is a meeting ground for discussing what it takes to realize the vision of a Web3-enabled world. It's where Web3 gets real.
