the main problem with open sourcing AI tech, though, is that it'll give a really powerfull tool that can and will be used for disinformation and fake news
that will be huge probably already starting on the next elections
on the other hand I know it's not possible to regulate it and it'll hit us sooner or later
We didn't really have these kinds of questions when photography started though... The ability to freeze reality with the touch of a button was a thing a few decades ago (Daguerreotypes, the first types of photography existed from the 1840s). Less than 2 centuries later we have managed to make that irrelevant. Anyone can now create a digital image of a thing that has never happened. Exciting Times! |

I agree that we should all bear responsibility for everything we do
Gambling is no exception
of course one can also enjoy gambling and not see it as something that deprives them of freedom.
Yeah, at the end of the day many people just want to have fun really, and if you remove their way of having fun then I don't think that's a great society to be in. In the end everyone wants to be a happy part of society and many times that can happen without so much interaction with others. |

~snip~ What do you mean under "brain still needs to develop"? In size ? I have googled, and it was said that brain is fully developed at the age of 25, but persons full body mass is achieved during period of 25-30. At the same time persons learns new during his entire life. Which makes it hard to determine what is a proper age for gambling. Someone could have heard and read about gambling while being younger than 18. Other has been living in information vacuum for ages and only at 60+ discovered gambling. So who is going to be more prepared ? Yeah, you are right. There is no single age that you could use to assign a developed brain. But, on the other hand, you need to have a working society, and the longer you wait, the worse it gets for the new people coming into the system. It does sound weird, but we kinda need these numbers to make them into law. |

I don't think that only one game is bad, I feel the same about all Hacksaw games. And I had crazy long streaks of dead spins with all providers, but Hacksaw is just killing me every time I play it. All other providers give and take, sometimes they take more and give less, but Hacksaw is just taking and taking... and in my case, Hacksaw never gave me anything meaningful.
Of course, it's just my opinion and experience, and this topic is about the personal view, each of us who plays slots has an opinion about which ones are best and worst ones. As I said, I saw other people hitting max wins often on Hackasaw, and I bought many expensive bonus rounds on Hacksaw games and got less than x5-x10 10 times in a row... I had pretty bad streaks with other providers, but other providers were not as bad as Hacksaw was too many times.
Yeah, definitely one game is not necessarily what they were hoping to get, but as a single person I guess that is what you mostly refer to. At the end of the day it is a lot of people involved in this and it might not just be the responsibility of one person, but we would never know. |

TrustDice.win is back from their paused state. They might end up as CFNP or accepting new members based on how many of the old ones get back into it. As expected, I have received the funds for this campaign and we are back in action!
If you were a part of it, you can add the signature and avatar back and you'll be back in the campaign. I'll change the dates for us due to this small hiccup so from now on we'll run from Sundays > Mondays, payments going on Mondays and as always according to my timezone (CET). If you do not wish to get back in this campaign please let me know so that I can accept new applications.

I think that if we see at statistics of all the providers I must admit the one provider who has given the max win more often is without a doubt Pragmatic Play.The other providers may have higher multipliers regarding their max win but surely won't be giving it as often as Pragmatic does.Of course I am talking in default RTP for all slot providers and not for some casinos who alter the RTP and we see something like 0 money during a bonus round in Pragmatic.
Yeah, that's a great point. Is there any kind of standard for the amount of money paid by the probability of winning, or this number changes dramatically from machine to machine? I wonder if there's any kind of standard that the casinos must publish. For example, what is the RTP you mention? |

Thanks for the update Hhampuz, I would be happy to get back into it so just added the avatar and signature back. |

Privacy is a necessary feature in my opinion, but why hasn't Monero become a main coin?
One of the things that I've noticed about Monero is that it has been removed from a lot of big exchanges. My guess is that some people want to have certainty that they will be able to go to any mainstream exchange in the future and exchange their crypto for other type of money. Having Monero out of the big exchanges will probably not incentivize some of the big players, therefore reducing the potential price. |

each of them has bad and good experiences in each slot game, why do you say it is bad, because you haven't won it, but if you win you will say that it is a good slot, there is no benchmark for bad and good slots because everyone everyone has their own experiences, I don't think it's bad because maybe it's because you haven't won yet, just try to be patient and enjoy every round
Yeah, if you want to have some kind of benchmark, then you would have to look at statistics, and not a single person playing in a single machine. The expected return of gambling is negative, that is, the more probable outcome is that you will lose money. Having said that, it's still fun to gamble, so you could still have a good time and spend some money. And hey, you might have fun and win some extra money. |

~snip~ yes of course everything can change with future versions of GPT and specally if we end up really reaching AGI then some things we have no idea will happen have you seen Sora? new model by openAI for video, I was already really impressed by it last week. The thing that I find most fascinating is that we have powerful open source versions of these models. That means that someone, somewhere, is using these models to create an even better version. The only thing is that they might or might not publish their models, maybe they don't even publish their results. They might even become rich without telling a soul. Open Source models are also unconstrained in terms of any filter that any big tech company might add to their service, so they, in theory at least, should be better. |

has anyone tried to add btc usb miners to their futurebit apollos?
i'm just wondering if its possible to add like a USB hub and add some compact f usbs
It depends on the model you got. The full model is basically the miner and a mini pc, so you should be able to connect any other miner to it, like a compac F for example. If, on the other hand, you bought the miner only, then you don't have a computer in there to connect the miner. In fact you need a host computer to run this version of the Apollo. In that case you can use say a Raspberry Pi, and that Pi can also be connected to a compac F for example. So, at the end of the day, if you have an Apollo mining correctly now, you should be able to add a compac F to the system that is running it.
Can I point the FutureBit Apollo to a testnet mining pool or solo testnet mine?
I tried pointed it to a local Public Pool instance that's sitting on a testnet Bitcoin Core, but the FutureBit Apollo shows the pool as inactive (I even tried rebooting the futurebit).
Do I also need to update the FutureBit bitcoin.conf to testnet=1 and reboot--I would have thought the pool is doing the work of the testnet node behind the scenes...
You should be able to connect to it. Here's a guide I wrote to do just that, using a compac F as example, but should work the same with the Apollo: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5415335.0 |

It’s also possible that someone who still respects their job can gamble out of addiction (even if they are trying to be free from it). But like I said earlier, anyone who gambles during work for whatsoever reason should get fired, unless the job is not a professional one. You can gamble before or after, not just on duty. If I was the employer, I’d assume such person doesn’t have respect for the company and doesn’t know work ethics.
I'm not sure that would be a great rule for every single job. In some cases you have a lot of free time in a job, and if you gamble in that time instead of scrolling through social media, I don't think it would make too much of a difference. But, if you do get addicted and it starts to make your performance at work decrease, then that's another story. |

Gambling isn't an investment but if you take part with those bankrolls investment, you are investing on the casino and you're with them.
But if you gamble alone, you're the customer and gambler where they are earning.
~snip~
Although this takes time but this is more of an assured way for you to be an expert.
Yeah, you're spot on. The thing is that a lot of people believe the idea that a casino is a sure way of making money. It definitely is not. You can of course win some money, and some few people actually have managed to win big in casinos. But the reality is that the vast majority have lost more than what they have won. It's still a fun thing to do if you keep things under control though. |

I also don't think there is a single player in Argentina or Portugal who has the capacity to replace our two GOATs at the moment. These two players are an example of what a football player looks like at the peak. One is called "the machine" because of its incredible consistency and super hard training. The other is called "alien" because it is endowed with a natural will that may only appear once every 100 years. Both are the goals of all footballers in the world. I think the young players from Portugal and Argentina are very lucky to be able to play with them. And I think they both still deserve to be called upon to be a motivation for young players.
Yes, but when mentioning the term GOAT you have to include D10S and Pele. It's such a wonderful sport and I think instead of arguing who is the GOAT, it's best to enjoy them all. The more, the better in my mind. I want to keep watching the beautiful game with more and more GOATs. |

Yes, that's a problem in some families. Not in all families, because usually parents explain their kids that gambling, like engaging in sex and drinking alcohol and some other things, is not for people below 18.
I hope there will be more effective ways in the future to ban teenagers from gambling. It's just a matter of time.
Yeah, the brain still needs to develop to be able to process everything relating to gamble and other activities like drinking alcohol, etc. Choosing 18 or other age is a bit arbitrary though, as everyone develops at different rates, but to make a law you need to specify a number. And I would say 18 is quite alright, as it's also the time when you usually finish school, etc. It's a big change in your life. |

I tell you that some reasons that makes saudi become very popular like that in a short time.
1. Money
2. Ronaldo
I meant money is still playing the most important factor that helped the league to raise a lot of awareness from the football lovers. In my perspective, ronaldo will never ever join in the saudi pro league if it's not caused by the money. The club needs to buy a lot of european players to increase the engagement to the football lovers.
This is the main reason why saudi pro league becomes very popular in shorttime. I would like to put saudi pro league as the most popular league compared to the other asian league that is in the same level as saudi pro elague like chinese league.
~snip~
Many EU players have arrived to this league but i remind you that if some of them were also exodus back again to the european competition too. This could give SPL negative opinion regarding how bad the environment in the league.
The impact from the money wasted to buy european players can be faded away. SPL needs to take further action to prevent it to happen. Europan player which was going back to the EU league can also give negative opinion regarding SPL.
This problem must be addressed and i hope SPL will be aware about this coz it will make other EU players will refuse to join in the SPL club.
Yeah, at the end of the day it is the same reason that the European leagues became what they are today. Money. Most other leagues around the world don't used to pay as much as the European leagues did, so it was natural to have most of the players gravitate towards them. In the end what the Saudi Professional League is doing is what the European leagues did decades ago. I guess the main difference is that football is not very popular in Saudi Arabia, but things can change over time. |

No one is talking about Nikki Haley because there is virtually zero chance that she will win the Republican nomination. She is consistently polling between 10% to 30%, despite being the only remaining candidate apart from Donald Trump. And GOP support base in general agrees with Trump's views on the Russo-Ukrainian war. The US has spent hundreds of billions of USD on this war, to provide economic and military assistance to Ukraine. But what has they got in return? Russia is conquering one city after the other and a number of Ukrainian officials are being investigated for embezzlement and corruption.
Yeah, the thing is that it looks quite clear that Trump will win the Republican nomination. I don't think there's any competition there to be honest, and Nikki Haley is not even close. Most polls show a huge advantage to Trump against her. The way the voting system works in the US, you would be wasting your vote if you vote for someone with such a minority of votes. |
