Asteroids can be wildly non-spherical though, in shapes way different than capybara non-sphericalities, so it's not only misapplied but likely also nonsensical... unless, it's a giant capybara shaped asteroid.
If the final price was the same, they'd still do it, that statistical data pays for itself. Some idiots wanting to pay extra for the privilege of being tracked... is just a happy coincidence.
Look at what happened to SmartTVs: in the beginning, that "Smart" was an "extra"; now, the TVs without tracking cost extra (and have fewer features).
Europe [...] There is no infrastructure to charge ev cars and it's decades away from being build, especially in my country.
Which country is that?
Just the other day I got a taxi trip in a Tesla, with a guy showing photos of how he'd gone from Spain to Ukraine with a bunch of other Tesla taxi drivers to bring back some refugees. That sounds like he could get a recharge, across most of Europe?
Wrong. It's because smart people making toasters realize they can add a $0.50 piece of hardware and charge $100 more for the whole thing now that it's "IoT enabled"... then have it call back to a server with everyone's daily toasting routines which they can sell to data aggregators who will "anonymously" derive things like geographic power usage and breakfast hours split by demographics, to allow marketers better target ads at you.
People can re-invent and re-discover things. It still happens all the time in this day and age of worldwide massive communications. I'd be surprised if the right angle theorem didn't get discovered thousands of times throughout history.
Will any of our writings be found in 2500 years? Are we a myth...?
It seems to be a case similar to Socrates, or Jesus. Nice how Pythagoras was supposed to perform miracles, and stay a month "dead" just to later come back to life.
It brings me back to my wee lad years when I went to an academy to "learn computers", we had to draw the flow diagrams and write the code on paper, with a review by the teacher, before being allowed to type it into a computer and hit [RUN]... while the teacher humble bragged about how they used to cheat in college.
In a combative defense opening statement Trump lawyer Alina Habba said: 'There is a person out there who will buy that (Mar-A-Lago) for over $1 billion. That’s not fraud, that’s real estate.'
There is no "finding blocks" in Bitcoin, it isn't Minecraft. Miners work on "finding a better hash", for whatever block they want to propose. The two actions, creating a block, and working on finding a hash, are separate.
In a "proof of training an AI" blockchain, there would still be a hash linking one block to the previous one, just the proof for accepting a new block would no longer be looking for another (useless) hash.
The tricky bit is finding a problem that is hard to solve but easy to verify. I'm not sure AI tasks fall into that category.
They actually do. Training an AI involves changing some values in the model in an attempt for it to better fit an optimization function. It takes many tries to find a set of values that perform better, but a single try to confirm it does.
Both sides require much more computing power than for a single hash, but the difficulty imbalance is still there, and verifiers could change "how much better fit" the next model needs to be, just like they do by changing difficulty requirements right now.
The ECB is more independent, but that doesn't really matter. The EU can borrow from it just like the US government does from the Federal Reserve, and the ECB's mandate is to stabilize inflation, no matter what the EU does.
If the EU decided to borrow massive amounts of Euros to spend on weapon manufacturing and creating its own military, that would have massive ripples on the whole economy and impact inflation, but the ECB would just have to follow.
The only real difference is in foreign monetary policy: the ECB doesn't have to listen to EU Parliament's wishes to change monetary policy in order to weaponize it, while central banks in the US, UK, AU, China, etc. do have to listen to their respective government's wishes to mess up the internal economy for whatever reason they see convenient.
Putin could just have decided NOT to invade. He had that power. Yet he pushed the domino anyway.
Putin could have tried to clean up shop in Russia around 2000-2008, he had that power back then. By instead trying to become a new Tsar, he set up himself to either invade over and over, or get killed.
It's no coincidence the same year 2012 he got "reelected", is when the EU started to sweet talk Ukraine; by then, the large dominoes were all set up, just needed that tiny first push.
By 2014, and 2022, any negative to invade would have him windowed.
