Amazing times, we live in.

Maybe this is more explanatory for the nature of our "real" reality than we know...

I remind of FlowScape, I had a thread about it several months ago. Leaves you with a few things more to do. But maybe my impression of Gaugan is not correct.

I prefer this kind of software and AI approach more for photo editing/optimising.

In the end, every way in which to perceive "reality", are artificial crooks. The type and characteristic of the chemical film in analoge cameras, changes the image. The mood in which I live through the day. The monitor colour setting. The answer to the question whether I am an ape, a bat or a cretaure living at the bottom of the Aleutan abyss. Amnd when it was that I had my last LSD fix. So, that "it is not real", is not really an argument for or against anything here, in software tools like this. The only argument is whether or not using it gives you fun and joy, or bores you.

Nvidia announces official “anti-cryptomining” software drivers

The dilemma that modern GPUs face, however, is that they’re also pretty good at performing cryptographic calculations, like computing hashes such as as SHA-2 and SHA-3 at high speed.

This sort of algorithm is used at the heart of many cryptocurrency mining calculations.

You can therefore see why cryptocurrency fans might be very keen to get their hands on the latest special-purpose hardware that can speed up the calculations needed to earn cryptocoins.

Can someone please explain how bitcoins are mined? How and why do you need computer power for this?
So i employ 10000 PCs and "produce" currency with it, while burning some terajoule of energy?
Humans are crazy. What about energy being stored as currency in the long run.

These funny supoersmartheads also have ideas of using plugged-in e-cars as dynamic power reserves. The law says that pliugged in cars that want to charge ove rnight, can be remote-accessed and their batteries emptied into the powergrid, if "need be", and rechargign them before the morning (or not, hehehe.) So if you have th estrnage and exotic idea to riase early at 3 am and drive at 4am into holiday to avoid traffic jams on the autobahn over the day, yopu might find your car unfit to deliver the cruise.

Its called something like powergrid peak smoothing. I dont know whethere I want to smash faces and yell or laugh when needing to witness another excercise in this kind of technocrat slang propaganda.

BTW, the same is planned for electric home heating and electric power supply , too. Think of that when they come and force you to let them mine your home with oh so clever and safe smartmeters.

Serious, no joke.
