This is going to be the most important application of generative AI. Especially if we ever achieve good text-to-video.

Image generators plus human ranking:

Pornhub title: "AI generated Hentai Story: Sexy Nun alternative World(Isekai) Stable Diffusion" Interesting concept, slide-narrated over visual novel. The question is how they managed to keep face consistency across images.

A "Cryptocurrency swapper" is a service that swaps one type of cryptocurrency for another.

It is basically the same as buying and selling from exchanges for fiat, except that you only get fiat.

Swappers are in general able to receive send coins from any address, including self custody addresses.

Centralized swappers were a good way to workaround the endless Monero bans from exchanges circa 2024, e.g. x.com/cirosantilli/status/1771900725649371240 as they effectively serve as proxies for exchanges that are still legal in other countries.

They will eventually have to ban Monero of course, and then the only way left will be decentralized exchanges.

This leads to a scenario where the only effective way to ban Monero is to also ban all other cryptocurrencies. The question is if countries will go that far or not.

There are explicit examples of this. We can have ever thinner disturbances to convergence that keep getting less and less area, but never cease to move around.

If it does converge pointwise to something, then it must match of course.

The book is a bit slow until Charles K. Kao comes along, then it gets exciting.

Once we had the amplified 16S DNA, we were almost ready to start sequencing!

Indian vegetarian thali is the best thing ever! The Southern version in particular. Also do watch a video on how to eat it.

A good place to have it abroad is Saravana Bhavan. The founder killed a dude to marry his wife, but failed and was sentenced to life prison. But he died in 2019 so we're all fine eating there now.

Always a bit too much on the superficial side, but sometimes OK, 5-10 minute videos.

The cool thing about parallel evolution is that it shows how complex phenotype can evolve from very different initial genetic conditions, highlighting the great power of evolution.

We list some cool ones at: polyphyly.
