There are plenty of legends of old wallets "waking up" due to the person getting out of prison, as it seems the only plausible way someone can sit on 30 BTC for 10-15 years, through all the news and price movements, without touching it once. One would only expect to hear about the successful seizures law enforcement makes.

If you see the blog about the process linked in another comment, you see that AI was used to stitch 2-page images together that could not be flattened to be scanned together, and to remove the seam where the book binding pinched away part of the image.

Comparing the before and after, they appear to be quite accurate to the originals; almost all of the "restoration" appears to be in color correction for faded ink and paper.

>the effect of poor sleep seems to be MUCH worse for me than other people. I go from extreme motor coordination to dropping cups in a span of 3 days of poor sleep.

Are you sleeping enough? When I was getting too little sleep, averaging 5.5 hours per night, this described me well. A single sleep interruption could make me lose most of a day of work. I'm sleeping better and longer now, and it seems I'm more able to tolerate small interruptions.

Slang term for frequently reloading game state from recent save when a non-ideal outcome occurs. E.g. this method can be used to collect rare outcomes from a RNG-based game event.

I am under the impression that I'm a natural general intelligence, and I am far from the optimal entity to perform my job.

Do you like sweets? I noticed as I became an adult sometime in my mid-20s, I stopped liking sweet flavors as much and developed a new appreciation for bitter flavors. Like coffee and some vegetables.

I've always wanted a deeper, historical explanation rather than just the end result. Like, how did they even arrive at these things I'm memorizing? Who, and why?

I think generative AI has great potential here to enrich learning, not only by having the ability to quickly cross reference history and science, but to compose it with storytelling technique.

Some of the cryptocurrency casinos pioneered having cryptographically signed random sequences that are revealed after the game is over. That way you can confirm that the game was fair. It's not a very popular feature, however, as it's not a major selling point for most people.

The answer key to the first quiz says "1. a"

OKCupid was doing pretty well at this until they were acquired.

Yes, I'm aware that most devs can't do it. I'd guess 1 in 10 can.

>An open dev database is rather normal

Not open to the internet it's not! Internal network, perhaps.

>someone whose only interaction with a development is numpy, pandas, julia, etc

This person should be aware of their limitations and give the task to someone who knows what they're doing.

Hundreds of thousands. My employer alone probably has 1000.

I once used booking.com to book a block of several rooms for a wedding. Paid and confirmed. When we arrived, the hotel had no record of our reservations! The explanation was that their sync with booking.com was prone to failure and hadn't been updating for several weeks and they hadn't noticed. Luckily, they still had enough rooms available for us, but I will never use a 3rd party site again and I will always call ahead to confirm the reservation is still on the books.

Yup I used to do this with tile floors as a child.

I do this when I'm trying to really focus on what the speaker is saying. It helps keep my mind from wandering. It's completely voluntary, though.
