Mar 13, 2022
Proof-of-Stake is legacy tech. It's what corporations and banks have run on for centuries. It's outdated and oligopolistic. And yet, still useful for centralized systems. Proof-of-Work is the new innovation, especially when combined with difficulty adjustments. This claim was originally posted on Twitter by @LynAldenContact. No further details ...

Zara has put the behavioural science principle of ‘loss aversion’ into play by using the ‘fast fashion’ strategy
playerone
Jan 16, 2022
We fear losses twice as much as we covet a similar gain. Loss aversion is built into our DNA through the evolutionary process. When our forefathers lived in the jungle, survival, not prosperity, was their main focus. That instinct continues to drive us today. Result: in a Zara store, a buying decision is unlikely to be postponed.

Energy Vault stores excess wind and solar power in gravity

via Twitter
Mar 28, 2022
The Energy Vault concept is dead simple and consists of blocks (35 tonne a piece) of concrete and six lifting arms. When wind is available and power is cheap, the lifting arms stack the blocks into a tower. As the demand for electricity increases, the lifting arms lower the concrete blocks and the lifting motors work in reverse as a generator. The ...

Let me start by saying a few things that seem obvious,” Geoffrey Hinton, “Godfather” of deep learning, and one of the most celebrated scientists of our time, told a leading AI conference in Toronto in 2016. “If you work as a radiologist you’re like the coyote that’s already over the edge of the cliff but hasn’t looked down.” Deep learning is so wel...

detecting structural damage using aerodynamic quantities
fractalflows.eth
Jan 16, 2022
We examine if signals emanating from sensors measuring aerodynamic quantities (e.g. aerodynamic pressure over an airfoil section) can be used to detect structural damage (e.g. crack) on a long and slender aeroelastic structure (e.g. wind turbine blade). This work was motivated by current efforts on development of a novel micro-electro-mechanical mo...
