I also share the same opinion about Benfica. The performance dropped a lot at the end of the season and in the two matches against Inter, if they had been playing as they did in the middle of the championship, they certainly wouldn't have lost 0-2 playing in Portugal, but unfortunately that's how it happened.

I don't have as much knowledge about Portuguese soccer as you do, but I think the problem is the lack of money invested in the smaller clubs, so that they can become stronger and have more than 4 very strong teams. Do you share the same opinion?

I see in other leagues, for example, that there are 8 or even 10 teams that are very strong, but that is where they have put a lot of money recently, like in the Premier League or in the Italian League, some groups put a lot of money in a small/medium club and they become strong in a few years.

Don't forget guys, tomorrow is the match Braga vs Porto 

Eu só queria energia elétrica barata, o resto eu me viro  (aí coloca que nem eu, mais de 20 GPUs no quarto e não aguenta de tanto barulho, calor e luminosidade    )

Aqui em casa quando eu cheguei a ter um pouco mais de 25 GPUs, foi um sacrifício, mesmo minha casa sendo grande, tive que espalhar as máquinas em 3 comôdos separados, e a maioria acabou ficando no meu quarto. Foram muitas noites mal dormidas por causa de barulho e calor, era ventoinhas girando o tempo inteiro, e ventilador para dissipar o calor, fazendo mais barulho ainda 
O ideal mesmo é colocar num espaço separado. Quando eu tomei a decisão de diminuir minhas rigs e tirar tudo do quarto, foi ótimo, eu dormi em paz, consegui ficar no quarto sem barulho nenhum, um alívio.

As Asics são mais barulhentas ainda, pois as ventoinhas são do tipo industrial, e são muito fortes, mas muito mesmo, acho que sem exagero, 1 ventoinha dessas faz mais barulho que 3 ou 4 GPUs juntas.

Aqui no Brasil eu diria que quem tem bastante espaço e possibilidade de ter energia solar, pode valer a pena ter uma mini farm sim, fora isso é bem complicado, acho que nenhum estado ou cidade tem energia barata mais.

Bem irônico, 10% é uma grande porcentagem pra se ter em Bitcoins, e já que eles não querem saber de criptos, poderiam destruir as seeds e deixar esses BTCs no limbo 
A MicroStrategy pelo que sei tem 140.000 BTC e pelo que pesquisei aqui, ficam somente atrás da Grayscale que tem 643.572 BTC

As maiores apreensões para eles chegarem nesse número de BTC foram:

I'll quote you both to answer
@Taskford, I believe that when players try to cheat the game with the result, it is a little easier to detect the cheating
But in the case of most of the matches they are investigating, the bettors tried to "outsmart" the match and not cheat the result, but rather the actions of the players, which would be much easier, under control, and draw less attention.
The players would need to draw a foul, a penalty or even just take a yellow card.
How many times don't we see players get yellow carded for stupid reasons? Like complaining too much, swearing at the referee, taking too long to charge a lateral etc? And even in big matches, such as the World Cup or the Champions League, you can see that there are many of these attitudes.
That is why it is so difficult to detect something like this.

And I agree with the bans, to me it's the best decision, just ban the player and make the example.

Today, I found that Eduardo Bauermann from Santos, was suspended for 12 matches in total.
In this case I thought it was too little, and at the very least he could have given a one-year suspension

I'm interested to watch all remaining matches 

These are the odds:


Croatia is not the bookmakers' favorite again, but the risk/reward ends up being very worthwhile in my opinion. The team is fully capable of beating the Netherlands.
In Spain's match I even agree that they are the favorite against Italy. From the matches I watched of both teams, Spain already has a better and well formed team, with a possession style of play.

But I want to watch these two matches, I think they will be very competitive and exciting.

My bet is on Croatia vs. Spain in the final, and I will certainly bet some money on these 2 matches. The odds of qualification of Croatia is paying 2.46 (maybe some penalties again  )

Oloko, me espantei aqui, 2.246 BTC 

Eu lembro de algumas pendências que o MercadoBitcoin sempre teve, mas pra falar a verdade não me lembro bem o que era. Quando eu conheci BTC e criptos em 2017 eu lembro que tinha algum alerta pra corretora, e dentre as brasileiras, acho que foi uma das únicas que eu nunca tive conta por causa desse receio.
Que vão recorrer é praticamente certeza, mas se for condenada a pagar mesmo, será que eles terão caixa pra aguentar?

Boa tradução gagux, ontem eu fiz uma pizza aqui em casa, não ficou muito bonita (estou doente e um pouco debilitado), mas mandei minhas fotos da pizza lá no tópico, só pra compartilhar mesmo e participar hehehe
No próximo ano vou participar com toda certeza e farei uma bela pizza
Aliás, na pandemia foi o que eu mais gostei de aprender a fazer: uma bela massa de pizza 

In my opinion, if it is described in the ToS, it is not worth using the VPN.
If you have a problem and you have a balance in the casino, it can be very difficult to get your money back, and besides that, the casino will have to check the situation to see if there is something wrong or not with your account.
You will know that you only used a VPN, but the casino don't know that, it can raise a flag in your account and they don't know if you're an honest user or someone trying to abuse the system

I don't know how often you travel to this country that is illegal, but if you bet on sports for example, you can advance your bets
One suggestion is to contact the chat of the casino you use and explain the issue, ask if there is any way to continue betting. But probably the answer will be negative, since in the country you visit, betting is illegal
Again, using a VPN can raise a flag in your account and you may even be able to gamble normally, but you have chances to have your account investigated after some time.

É impressionante mesmo, como você disse é a prova que os fundamentos continuam 100%
Aqui tem uma imagem pra ilustrar:

Eu já não tenho mais fiat nenhum pra comprar, novamente já fiquei desbalanceado da proporção Cripto / Fiat 
Alguém mais nessa?

Impossible to know what is going on in Messi's head now, at 35 he can still practically choose the team he wants to play for

I suspect he might go to Barcelona, and possibly together with Neymar to play 1 more season at high level, playing the Champions League and in total 3 important championships. It would also be the way to say goodbye to Barcelona, and then play in some other championship (either USA or Argentina in Newell's Old Boys).
I will even write this post down to see if I got my guesses right.

About Saudi Arabia, I doubt that Messi will play there, Cristiano Ronaldo himself is already showing his dissatisfaction and must have regretted it. The culture is very different, there is the whole issue of family adaptation, and finally, I don't know if these players really need that much money since they have had years and years to earn it

Just to share with you my dinner today hahaha
It didn't turn out the way I'd like (I've been sick for a few days now), but at least I could eat a good pizza today.
Next year I promise to make a beautiful pizza.

Outra forma de dar um bypass, depois que eu li seu post e pensei, seria usar a IA para produzir seu conteúdo (jogo, filme, música etc), e a partir dela o humano faz a sua versão, dá os seus retoques, faz alguma modificação aqui e outra lá e não sei se será detectável que foi a "ideia" de uma IA

É um assunto fascinante pra ficar discutindo.
Imagino que haverão IAs usadas só pra detectar uso de IA, e então as IAs aprenderão a burlar essas detectoras, e aí novamente as IAs conseguirão detectar novamente as Ias que tentaram burlar...
Viagem demais?

After a few days, several things have happened, and I will try to summarize:

The Superior Court of Sports Justice of Brazil has already started punishing the investigated, and the player Romário from the Vila Nova team has been banned (forever) from soccer, and will still have to pay a fine of 25,000 BRL. The other player Gabriel Domingos has been suspended for 720 days and will have to pay 15,000 brl fine.

I thought it was a good attitude to ban the player from soccer because it can be an example for future players who think of cheating the system.

So far, there are 16 people in total indicted for involvement in 13 matches in total and 8 of these people are players
I suspect they may find more as time goes on, the justice in investigating at least 20 matches.

And more relevant news, even a Brazilian player playing in MLS (United States) for the Colorado Rapids has been suspended by the club for suspected cheating in an MLS game
The suspicion is that he was paid 12,000 USD to receive a yellow card in a match against the Los Angeles Galaxy
Source

And finally, I believe that if all federations investigate, they will surely find a lot of fraud in many countries, including the European leagues.

Sim, também concordo com você Disruptivas, e acredite, eu também sou o estranho, mesmo no meu círculo, por causa das ideias ou pensamentos.
E não quero dizer que estou e/ou sou o certo da coisa toda, porém eu penso muito na questão de: se fizer as coisas do mesmo jeito, as coisas sempre continuarão como são. Então eu não vejo muita lógica em esquerda, direita, partidos, pessoas com muitos poderes etc, porque afinal, são todas essas políticas, ideias, ideologias e ações que estão empurrando o mundo pra esse precipício.
E as pessoas que tentam fazer algo de diferente, são taxadas de idiotas, loucos, estranhos, mal informados...

Na relação do Bitcoin e a economia, como você citou, acho que podemos considerar necessário mesmo, as moedas dos governos estão quase saindo já, acho que em alguns países já poderemos ver no ano que vem, e não tem como não ter medo do controle que isso poderá trazer.
Eu espero mesmo que o BTC consiga ser o porto seguro pra quem queira proteção / segurança / liberdade

At least for me, I think it's better to organize, avoid spam and avoid low quality posts if you make a thread every season.
Mega threads are hard to follow in my experience
You can think until the next season 


It was my first season watching and betting on the Portuguese championship, and for sure it was because of you hahaha.
I didn't know it was like that until I followed it, the 4 teams are really much stronger than the rest. And although it seems good for these teams, after all they always win the championship, prizes etc, it is very bad when they are going to play against teams from other countries, like the Europe League or the Champions League.
Do you also share the same opinion?

Ainda não tenho uma opinião totalmente formada sobre arte feita com IA, mas vai ser interessante acompanhar conforme o passar do tempo.
Tem algumas coisas a se considerar, hoje em dia por exemplo são artes "simples" feitas pela IA, mas com o passar do tempo essas artes podem se tornar mais complexas, podendo até chegar a um ponto onde conseguirão fazer músicas, animações, filmes, roteiros e jogos.
Como seria nesse caso se uma produtora por exemplo fizesse um filme somente com IA? Ou um jogo?

Essa medida dos EUA seria uma boa para impedir coisas desse tipo e deixar o direito de ganhar o direito somente para os humanos.

Obs - não sei também se em um curto prazo a tecnologia consegue chegar nesse ponto.

Eu já tinha visto o Saylor postar algumas vezes sobre esse registro pelo blockchain do Bitcoin, mas nunca havia pensando dessa forma sobre as IAs

Eu acredito que a IA possa ser usada para os bots, mas também pode ser usada para o contrário, para justamente verificar se mensagens ou usuários são reais ou não.
Acho também que logo o Elon chega numa solução no Twitter para os bots, já que ele falava muito disso antes da aquisição.

Não sei também até que ponto isso pode gerar essa guerra civil que ele comentou, pois nas redes sociais a coisa é bem diferente da vida real, pelo menos é o que eu percebo.

In my opinion virtual reality / augmented reality is not going to be popular anytime soon, and I am saying this even though I really enjoy playing some games in VR
Many companies have tried and are still trying to popularize it, but it is very difficult, the market is not ready yet and the technology is not good enough, just ask an owner of virtual glasses and you will know that they probably played a week and then put it away

About the AI I totally agree. Just talking about the gambling industry, I'm sure they will use it for fraud control, loss reduction, expense reduction and security
Being more specific, they can use it to detect suspicious attitudes that nowadays can still go unnoticed, they can use it to replace human attendants, I'm not talking about automatic chat, but an AI that will seem like you are talking to a human and will solve your problem.
Maybe with AI and the right prompt, a casino owner can easily know which games are making the most profit, which are worth replacing, which have some likelihood of abuse by users...

The last drastic change in the industry that I remember was cryptos and the ease that this brought.
The next one like that we probably don't know yet.

Espero não ter que receber em FTT (token da FTX), mas de qualquer forma, se eu receber o que perdi lá, menos mal


Eu não entendo das leis desse processo, mas acho bem improvável eles abrirem com outro nome e ficarem desligados do processo. Até porque um plano de pagar os credores e afetados deve ter que ser apresentado para que eles voltem a operar.
Seria muito absurdo eles fugirem disso 

Pior que eu não duvido nada que ainda consigam operar com lucro, pois o que eles podem alegar é que o responsável por toda essa bagunça toda foi o Sam Bankman Fried

And the one who benefited from this defeat of Independiente del Valle was my team, Corinthians, which even though it has played badly all these matches so far, still has a chance to qualify
Corinthians only depends on itself for classification
The ideal is to win the two remaining matches

Look at the group, everyone has a chance to qualify



River vs Fluminense will be a great match, I'm sure.
Fluminense's team is very good, but they will play in Argentina and with River needing a win. In matches like this I don't risk betting because it is very unpredictable.

I think I will risk again a bet on Corinthians next week, on June 7th against Independiente del Valle, it will be a match at the same level I wrote about above against Fluminense, unpredictable, but it is my team
If they win, I believe that then in the last match against Liverpool, playing at home, should not be so difficult to win and ensure classification
