One of my favorite things about having studied linear algebra is that you can say things like "I can prove to you that the nullspace of a homomorphism between vectorspaces is a subspace of the domain" and people will think it sounds cool even though it's only actually cool if you're a massive nerd and then it's actually not cool anymore.

Microsoft en Google zorgen voor rally in AI big data tokens

In het kort: - Cryptomunten gespecialiseerd in kunstmatige intelligentie (AI) en data leiden de recente rally op de cryptomarkt. - Microsoft en Google zetten een beetje in op AI-chatbots na ChatGPT-trends. Kunstmatige intelligentie (AI) en big data tokens zijn aan het rallyen te midden van de plotselinge fascinatie voor AI chatbots. Google promoot zijn Bard bot, terwijl Microsoft zijn Bing zoekmachine opnieuw lanceerde met ChatGPT ingebouwd. Crypto-activa in de AI en big data ruimte hebben een sprong gemaakt. Big data protocol (BDP), de eigen token van een opkomende gedecentraliseerde data marktplaats, leidt het peloton met een rally van 1.400% in de afgelopen week, tot een handel van ongeveer $ 0,48, volgens gegevens van CoinGecko. Het wordt op de voet gevolgd door AI-gerichte tokens zoals SingularityDAO (SDAO) en SingularityNET (AGIX), met winsten van 170%-200%. Fetch.ai (FET), measurable data (MDT), matrix AI network (MAN), deepbrain chain (DBC), oraichain (ORAI) en Vectorspace AI (VXV) zijn enkele van de andere opvallende stijgers in de AI- en data intelligentie omgeving met koerswinsten van 75%-95%. Wees erbij vrijdag 10 februari vanaf 19 uur in de Kloosterhoeven in Harmelen voor het Kick off event. AI rage De recente hype rond tekst- en beeld generatiemodellen zoals ChatGPT, StableDiffusion en DALL-E heeft de speculatieve rally voor crypto projecten die in deze niche actief zijn, aangewakkerd. Veel van de projecten bieden op blockchain gebaseerde data-analyse en een gedistribueerde infrastructuur ter ondersteuning van gedecentraliseerde AI en data science modellen. SingularityNET stimuleert bijvoorbeeld individuen om gegevens bij te dragen die eigen AI-modellen verbeteren. Gebruikers worden dan gecompenseerd met tokens. Projecten als DeepBrain Chain verlagen de kosten van het trainen van AI-modellen door gebruikers data en verwerkingskracht te laten bijdragen op een verspreid netwerk. Hoewel handelaren zich op deze tokens lijken te storten, is niet iedereen overtuigd. "Blockchain en AI zijn niet complementair, en voorlopig doet iedereen die op de 'AI' trein springt dat gewoon om te pumpen en dumpen," zei Andre Cronje, lead developer bij Fanton. "Projecten die zich op AI storten hebben waarschijnlijk geen ideeën meer en liggen doelloos te drijven."aldus de oprichter van Yearn Finance. "Als we op een punt komen waar blockchain het soort doorvoer kan verwerken dat nodig is voor neurale netten, kunnen we ze misschien on chain zien," zei hij, alvorens toe te voegen dat dit nog steeds de vraag oproept waarom iemand dat zou willen doen. "Blockchains verbeteren AI niet, en AI verbetert de blockchain niet." Word lid van de Bitcoin/Cryptocurrency Facebook groep en join de Discord/Telegram om onderdeel te worden van de community.

Artificial Intelligence and Cryptocurrency: The Rise of AI-Focused Projects in 2023

Trends show that artificial intelligence (AI) will be a major topic in 2023, as data indicates a surge in interest. Since interest peaked and Microsoft invested billions into Chatgpt, demand for AI-focused cryptocurrency projects has risen dramatically. For example, the crypto project Fetch.ai has seen its native token FET rise 212% in the past 30 days, and another AI project, Singularitynet, has seen it’s token AGIX increase 293% against the U.S. dollar.

There’s Been a Surge in Interest in AI-Focused Cryptocurrency Projects

During the week of Jan. 22-28, 2023, the worldwide Google Trends score for the term “AI” was 94 out of 100. In the first week of Dec. 2022, the search term reached its highest Google Trends score of 100. It’s safe to say that the world has become increasingly focused on artificial intelligence (AI) since the release of AI-infused art platforms like Dall-E, Deep AI, Jasper Art, Starry AI, Nightcafe, and others. In the past two months, the Openai platform Chatgpt or GPT-3 has become a widely used AI phenomenon. Google Trends shows the worldwide score for the search term “Chatgpt” was 100 during the week of Jan. 22-28, 2023, and it has been rising since the first week of Dec. 2022. Reports also show that Microsoft has entered the third phase of its long-term partnership with Openai through a “multi-year, multi-billion dollar investment,” said to be as much as $10 billion in funding. The growing trend in artificial intelligence (AI) and demand for the technology has spilled over to blockchain projects integrating AI into their protocols. For instance, a crypto asset created by the project singularitynet.io has seen its native token AGIX rise 293% in the past month. Although singularitynet (AGIX) was down more than 6% on Jan. 29, 2023, it has increased 17.5% over the past two weeks. The project aims to support the next generation of decentralized AI. Another blockchain-powered AI project, Vectorspace AI (vspb.science), has a token called VXV that has risen 95.9% over the past month. The Fetch.ai project has experienced similar demand over the past four weeks. Over the past 30 days, the Fetch.ai project’s FET token has risen 212% against the U.S. dollar. The Fetch.ai team says the project creates “autonomous agent technology” for peer-to-peer applications with automation and AI capabilities, with or without direct blockchain access.” Another AI-based blockchain project, Ocean Protocol, and its OCEAN token have risen 130% against the U.S. dollar in the past 30 days. Ocean Protocol, named a technology pioneer by the World Economic Forum, aims to unlock data at scale through encrypted data monetization. It is uncertain how long the demand for AI-based crypto assets and the popularity of these tokens will last. All of the AI-related crypto assets are currently ranked below the top 75 in terms of market capitalization and have recently seen price surges due to increased interest in AI/Chatgpt.

What would be the major benefit of using quaternions instead of 4-vectors?

The full answer is more involved, but in a nutshell, quaternions form a field. They're not just a vectorspace, they're a field in and of themselves. Which gives you perks like a division algebra.

Also, the multiplication structure of pure vector quaternions with scalar part 0 encodes both the dot and cross product directly.

And spinors arise naturally instead of having to be constructed artificially.

Generally, they have an inherent structure, which has advantages.

Vectors are like bags of numbers, while Quaternions are numbers.

the thing about being infinite is that no one tells you about:      – the lonely nights      – the aching hearts      – the whispered wishes to stars above      – begging them to take you back

you’re human, they whisper, you stay

and you try to fit into this life that wasn’t made for you and some days are better than others but the stars they always call you home

ooh a name playlist for caroline please?

in the spirit of a playlist I tried to capture a sort of general mood, using the first song as a jumping off point. I would describe it as “looking out at a rose garden from under quick shelter in a rainstorm and watching the rain turn the earth and soak the roses in a melancholy but pretty way”

i’ve been doing a lot of original writing (mostly poetry but a couple short stories as well) and i’m hoping to compile a chapbook with some original photography in it as well. i look back on what i’ve written even a year ago and cannot believe that i’ve become more coherent and artistic poet since then, and hope that in 2019 i’ll look back at this year’s work and feel that i’ve grown once more

So proud of you!! These creative endeavors are amazing. Can’t wait to see you looking back this time next year and seeing how much growth you achieved in 2019!
