Reimagining Reality: 3D Laser Scanning's Impact The world we perceive is a complex tapestry of shapes, surfaces, and structures. From the towering skyscrapers that define city skylines to the intricate details of historical artifacts, our reality is defined by the objects and spaces that surround us. The process of documenting and understanding this reality has evolved significantly in recent years, thanks to the advent of 3D laser scanning. This remarkable technology has transcended traditional boundaries and is now redefining the way we interact with and understand the world around us.
The Best Explanation of Bitcoin of All Time!
What is bitcoin? What does Bitcoin do? Is it perfect, neither was email when it was invented in 1972. Thank you for the opportunity to speak with you today, my name is Peter Van Valkenburgh, and I'm the director of research at Coin Center, an independent non-profit focused on the public policy issues affecting cryptocurrency and public Blockchain networks. What is bitcoin? Bitcoin is the world's first cryptocurrency and it works because of the world's first public Blockchain network. What does Bitcoin do? It's simple. It lets you send and receive value to and from anyone in the world using nothing more than a computer and an internet connection. Now, why is it revolutionary? Because unlike every other tool for sending money over the Internet it works without the need to trust a middleman. The lack of any corporation in between means that Bitcoin is the world's first public digital payments infrastructure, and by public I simply mean available to all and not owned by any single entity. Now, we have public infrastructure for information, for websites for email it's called the internet but the only public payments infrastructure that we have is cash, as in paper money, and it only works in face-to-face transactions. Before Bitcoin if you wanted to pay someone remotely over the phone or the internet then you could not use public infrastructure. You would rely on a private bank to open their books and add a ledger entry that debits you and credits the person you're paying, and if you both don't use the same bank well then there'll be multiple Banks and multiple ledger entries in between. With Bitcoin the Ledger is the public Blockchain, and anyone can add an entry to that ledger transferring their Bitcoins to someone else and anyone regardless of their nationality, race, religion, gender, sex, or credit worthiness can for absolutely no cost create a Bitcoin address in order to receive payments digitally. Bitcoin is the world's first globally accessible public money. Is it perfect? No, neither was email when it was invented in 1972. Bitcoin's not the best money on every margin, uh it's not yet accepted everywhere. It's not used often to quote prices, and it's not always a stable store of value, but it is working, and the mere fact that it works without trusted intermediaries is amazing. It's a computer science breakthrough and it will be as significant for freedom, prosperity, and human flourishing. As the birth of the internet. And Bitcoin is just the beginning. If we can replace private payments infrastructure then we can replace other private choke points to human interaction as well. Now, why should we want to build more public infrastructure? Why should we embrace Blockchains over corporate intermediaries? Why should we tolerate their inefficiencies and work to make them better? Why should we want the pioneers of this technology here in the United States and not fleeing overseas? A simple reason, because the corporate intermediaries providing today's critical but privately owned infrastructure are becoming fewer, larger, and more powerful, and their failures are increasingly grave. So roughly half of all Americans, 143 million people had their social security numbers exposed to hackers because of a breach at Equifax. The Swift network has relayed hundreds of millions of dollars in fraudulent transactions because of hacked member banks in Bangladesh, Vietnam, Ecuador, and Russia. The FBI suspects now that the largest of these hacks was perpetrated by North Korea. A corrupt low-level employees at an Indian bank, Punjab National were able to fraudulently certify Swift messages stealing 1.8 billion dollars. It's the largest electronic bank robbery in history; in fact, it's the largest bank robbery in history. In October 2016, an estimated 1.2 million Internet connected devices were hacked and turned into a botnet that for several hours made prominent websites unavailable across Europe and North America, including CNN and Fox News, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. Increasingly physical machines are being connected to the internet to augment their capabilities. They're wired through servers that are owned and maintained by private and trusted intermediaries, the so-called Internet of Things. Pacemakers from St Jude's Hospital have been hacked. Baby monitors from TRENDnet have been hacked, and jeeps from Jeep have been hacked to the point where they can be remotely commandeered and driven off the road. Now those vulnerabilities are inescapable in systems that have single points of failure. It doesn't matter if the point of failure is a corporation or if it's a government, there shouldn't be a single point of failure. Similar choke points existed before the internet. If you wanted to deliver a message you'd have to go through one of three television broadcasters or a handful of newspapers. Private corporations are essential, but no critical infrastructure should rely on one or two. The internet removed single points of failure in communications infrastructure and ushered in a wave of competition among new media corporations … building on top of its public rails. Blockchains can similarly disintermediate critical payments and IOT infrastructure. The technology is not yet ready to answer all of those questions today, but it is our best hope, and as with the internet in the 1990s we need a light touch pro-innovation policy to ensure that these innovations flourish in America for the benefit and security of all Americans.

Waseem835 TvPublished 7 months ago in Education HUMAN VS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
A consultant in Silicon Valley once informed me that our pocket artificial intelligence (AI) is more intelligent than we realize. It communicates with our other electronic devices, sharing information across Bluetooth or Wi-Fi networks. This combination of learning algorithms and constant data gathering means that AI is constantly processing information relative to its programming. However, this seemingly benign technology has the potential to influence our daily decisions, as many of them are not conscious. Furthermore, the benefits of AI may persist for some while marginalizing others due to the imperfections of our society. AI is dependent on human programming and its learning is only as good as the quality of data it receives. This can lead to implicit bias and other subjective criteria that initiate prejudice in AI decision-making. Machine learning, a subset of AI, can result in fostering racial and gender profiling, as well as other hidden and normalized biases. If a society has a history of discriminatory practices, AI will provide a rear-view outcome, limiting equity-based progress with seeming legitimacy.In 2015, Jacky Alciné, a 22-year-old software engineer residing in Brooklyn, shared images of his friend on Google Photos. However, Google Photos' artificial intelligence misclassified over 80 photos of Alciné's black friend as "gorilla." Alciné took to Twitter to express his frustration, stating, "Google Photos, you messed up. My friend is not a gorilla." This incident is not an isolated case. Earlier this year, Uber faced consequences when its utilization of Microsoft facial recognition technology led to the dismissal of its own employees. The technology failed to recognize and authenticate non-white employees.
I immigrated to the UK for University, but I graduated ... Now what?
My Graduation from university was probably the most confusing thing ever, especially mentally and emotionally. It was, let's say ... uneventful. I graduated in 2020 when the world was shut, and nothing was happening. It was simply a letter from the University saying `You have completed your course, congratulations ... ` etc.
