Yesterday, I wrote about the upcoming . In it, I pointed to a Medium post titled , which turns out to be the Zebra Manifesto. CO Impact Days Zebras Fix What Unicorns Break Per the manifesto, a Zebra (unlike Unicorns) are real: Zebra are both black and white: they are profitable and improve society. They won’t sacrifice one for the other. companies Zebras are also mutualistic: by banding together in groups, they protect and preserve one another. Their individual input results in stronger collective output. Zebra companies are built with peerless stamina and capital efficiency, as long as conditions allow them to survive. Yesterday afternoon, I got a text from , one of the founders of the Zebra Movement and authors of the manifesto, saying that we should talk. We had a great discussion where I learned more about Zebras, the Zebra Movement, and the upcoming this week. Over 200 Zebra founders, funders and friends from around the world are gathering to co-create the community of companies that are building the goods and services we need for the society we want. Mara Zepeda DazzleCon Conference in Portland Mara also pointed me at the article on The Long Now Foundation website, one of the sponsors of along with the Rockefeller Foundation, the MacArthur Foundation, the Knight Foundation, and several others. Can “Zebras” Fix What “Unicorns” Break? DazzleCon Amy and I signed up to support the Zebra Movement and decided to also sponsor DazzleCon through our Anchor Point Foundation. I’m excited — and fascinated — with what Mara and her colleagues are doing as they extend the perspective and engagement around 21st century entrepreneurship well beyond Unicorns.

Have you ever seen an incredibly catchy video game trailer and then after experiencing the whole product, felt utterly disappointed? The plot doesn’t live up to expectations, and the graphics aren’t half as good as those in the trailer. Unfortunately, this scenario isn't limited to video games; it extends to AI solutions as well. AI solution providers might overpromise, leaving clients with a reality far from their initial expectations. In a market flooded with various AI solutions, it is crucial to know what is genuinely technically feasible—distinguishing between solution providers who can deliver and those merely fabricating capabilities. In this article, the DriveX team gives you an overview of what’s possible with vehicle inspection AI, and what is overpromising. Possibilities and myths in vehicle inspection AI solutions To give you a good overview of what’s possible with vehicle inspection AI, and also to manage expectations, we listed the main points for you. Here are some possibilities. Damage detection - AI can analyze images to find different types of damages such as dents, scratches, cracks, chips, paint issues, and missing parts on vehicle bodies.



Anomaly detection - AI can identify mismatched parts, anomalies in vehicle components and signs of tampering.


Classification- AI is able to identify the severity and type of the damage, allowing to prioritise repairs accordingly.


Registration number and VIN code detection - AI can verify whether the number plate or VIN on the image matches the requested one.


Documentation and reporting - automatically generated documentation of a vehicle's state can streamline the communication between customers, claim handlers and repair shops.


Integration with repair systems or CRMs - this allows to schedule repairs quicker and prevent unnecessary replacements, when a part can be repaired instead. Myths surrounding vehicle inspection solutions 100% accuracy A common myth is that AI inspection can be 100% accurate in damage detection. Achieving perfection is impossible because of variations in lighting conditions, image quality and the complexity of damage patterns. Also, accuracy shouldn’t be the only number to track. You should also be aware of other metrics like precision and recall, as accuracy alone might be misleading. Replacing human inspectors/technicians While AI can automate certain parts of the inspection process, human touch is still needed for full technical inspections and higher level decision-making. AI inspection can only help (for now) with damages that are visible. Universal solution Not all vehicle inspection solutions are universal. Different solutions may specialise in specific types of damages or vehicles. For example, if you can inspect a car with a certain  AI, it doesn’t mean it will also work on trucks. Complex implementation While AI-powered inspection solutions can be advanced, they don't necessarily require takes-a-team-of-ten implementation processes. Many solutions are designed to integrate seamlessly into existing workflows with minimal disruption. Checklist for evaluating AI solution providers We've made a list to help you choose the best AI for your needs. Here it is. Define your goals. You may not need all the bells and whistles that some service providers offer. This can help you save money and potentially manage your stress levels.


Check their website and social media. Determine which features they offer and assess their trustworthiness.


Verify their promises. Learn about machine learning performance metrics (for example, on Evidently AI's website) and make sure the provider is not dazzling you with an accuracy of 99%, which might mean absolutely nothing.


If you don’t understand, ask. Ask for an explanation of the numbers to ensure they know what they’re talking about and can deliver on their promises.


Learn from others. Read their case studies and client testimonials to assess their credibility beyond the flashy logos on their website. By no means did we list all AI capabilities and limitations in vehicle inspection AI, but it can be a starting point for you to better understand the field. By being aware of the myths and setting realistic expectations, you can leverage AI in vehicle inspections while avoiding overpromises and overhyped claims.

Science Versus Art In Our Exploration Of This World

In the tech world, hackathons are like rock concerts—full of energy, innovation, and a bit of chaos. Stanford's TreeHacks is the Glastonbury of them all, drawing the brightest minds and wildest ideas from Silicon Valley and around the world. This year’s edition, however, took center stage not just for its usual vibe of cutting-edge creations but for its focus on AI. The mood? Electrifying. Unleashing AI's Power at TreeHacks Walking through the aisles of TreeHacks was like peering into the future. From AI-powered diagnostic tools to social media bots that can outshine any influencer, it became clear that AI is ready to reshape every nook and cranny of society. Projects like Baymax and TherapEase.ai offered a tantalizing glimpse into healthcare’s future with personalized treatment plans, while MindMint took a swing at tailoring education to individual learning styles. Not to be outdone, Show and Tell, a fusion of wearable tech and language models, broke down barriers between American Sign Language users and non-ASL speakers, leaving the judges starstruck. And Zorg didn’t just come up with a catchy name but a decentralized system to securely handle medical records, balancing accessibility with airtight data protection. Insights From the Judges' Panel Judges like Deepita Pai played a critical role in evaluating these ambitious projects, using her extensive experience in building AI applications to guide hackers towards refining their work. Deepita stood out not just for her expertise but as a symbol of women's increasing leadership in technology. Her background at Square and Brainlab equipped her with an insider’s view on the importance of balancing innovation with ethical considerations and usability. Her lens sharpened on the necessity of collaboration, ensuring that these dazzling AI models weren’t just flashy toys but robust tools that could solve real-world issues. "Always keep the end user at the heart of your innovation," she emphasized. "Involve domain experts, prioritize inclusivity, and ensure your solutions reach those who need them most." Projects to Watch The hackers didn’t hold back on creativity either. Kaleido showed how biases in political news articles could be identified and counteracted, giving readers a fuller perspective on the stories they consume. ShaScam took on the rising menace of spam calls, using LLMs to protect vulnerable seniors from fraud. Meanwhile, EcoSynth saved analysts from spreadsheet nightmares by automating sustainability reports in a matter of seconds. Some projects aimed for the stars. Shard sought to challenge Sam Altman’s massive $8 trillion network by harnessing idle computing power worldwide. Their scrappy prototype earned them the “Most Likely to Get Funded” award and $1.5k in cash. Another moonshot, llm2graph, tried to fix LLMs’ text comprehension issues by crafting a dynamic knowledge graph, tackling the underlying problem head-on. TreeHacks Takeaways TreeHacks 2024 wasn’t just a showcase of technological achievements but a lively conversation about AI’s societal impact and ethical dimensions. If these projects are any indicator, the future will be a blend of audacity, empathy, and, as Deepita puts it, “innovation balanced with usability.” The success of AI will ultimately hinge not on algorithmic finesse but on the lives it touches and the positive change it inspires. So, here’s a tip for founders and hackers alike: solve a problem you’ve personally faced. EcoSynth did it with sustainability reports, and Instant-gram, born out of the founders’ social media frustrations, now creates engaging content that could save you hours of scrolling through stock photos. TreeHacks 2024 has spoken, and the future of AI is bright, inclusive, and beaming with possibility.

Recent research shows that 52% of gamers tend to stick to just one platform. Breaking it down, mobile game development (iOS and Android) leads with 60% of gamers, while PC (Windows, macOS, Linux) and consoles (PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch) follow closely, capturing 33% and 32% of gamers, respectively. This indicates a strong loyalty among gamers to their preferred platforms, making them a challenging audience to conquer with your game. For game publishers, spreading their games across multiple platforms is the ultimate cheat code to widen their appeal and boost profits. Game developers utilize powerful engines like Unity and Unreal Engine to create games that are playable across multiple platforms. This approach not only boosts user engagement but also increases the number of paid subscriptions and enhances in-game sales, particularly among fans loyal to a single platform. Cross-Platform Custom Game Development: A Path to the Hearts of Over 3 Billion Players Choosing a platform-specific route in custom game development allows creators to fine-tune their games to a system's unique features, like PlayStation 5's superb graphics or iOS's touchscreen. This approach not only highlights the game's strengths on its chosen platform but also streamlines development and may reduce costs. This is ideal for indie teams or smaller studios focused on crafting standout, polished experiences. Embracing a platform-agnostic approach opens doors wider. Making your game accessible on Android, iOS, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PCs enhances visibility and connects you with varied gaming communities instantly. With the global gaming population hitting 3.220 billion in 2023 and expected to rise to 3.320 billion in 2024 — 1.48 billion in Asia and 715 million in Europe — going cross-platform taps into this vast audience.

Hey hackers! Did you know that HackerNoon runs a to gauge reader sentiment on topics of interest? That’s right, every Monday readers are greeted with a new poll curated by a HackerNoon editor on some of the most trending news on the web (plus some general, wacky ones too just for fun!). weekly poll Now all that’s great, but what if we told you that there’s a way to go a step further with these polls and truly analyze readers’ sentiment? Let’s look at the : current poll running on HackerNoon Poll #1 Lesson: How to vote? This week's poll focuses on the debate over the potential ban of ByteDance’s TikTok in the US over national security concerns. Is it an overreach by the US government or a step in the right direction? To vote, pick the option that best aligns with your thoughts and compare it with the broader reader population 😎 Poll #2 Lesson: How to check past polls?

What can be said about the company that hasn’t been said already after it became the arms dealer of choice for the generative artificial intelligence boom. Well, apparently a lot! The company its annual GPU Technology Conference, or GTC, heralding the launch of the Blackwell class of AI chips that are supposed to be better than their Hopper predecessors. But what could these new processors mean for the development of more powerful AI and what does Nvidia’s change in business direction mean for consumers at large? recently held Let us know ! here TikTok’s Future in the US Should TikTok face a ban in the US? That’s the question we’re readers this week as we highlight this important issue. The US House recently passed a bill requiring ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, to divest from the app within 180 days or face prohibition (a ban) in the U.S. However, Senate supporters argue that this is not a ban but rather a transition of ownership to ensure national security. Is this overreaction, and perhaps, an overreach by the US government? asking and share your thoughts .

Este artículo fue primeramente publicado en . +qL es #másqueley aka #másqueley es la firma hermana de aka #beyondthelaw. +qL holoLAWn If you have legal questions or want to debate, join our . Discord TL:DR The MetaLeX whitepaper aims to give birth to a new kind of law (the ) in order to complete the project of disconnecting the blockchain world from the world of flesh and blood. To free humans from the vertical hierarchy of institutional powers and return them to a space of freedom among equals, a of horizontal hierarchy. A project that to date has a currency and finance separate - in theory - from the state (Bitcoin and Ethereum as respective paradigms of cryptocurrencies and smart contracts that enable decentralised transactions and finance); but a project that lacks an equally separate law to govern that proto-world of a longed-for separate world, a free world. Autonomous Law heterotopia What you will (and won't) find here We are all looking for something. The : a spoiler. Autonomous Law The whitepaper: an interpretation (ours). Phase 1: BORGs. Phase 2: Deal Technology. Phase 3: . Autonomous Law Conflicts with a decentralised and autonomous dimension that are resolved by laws and legal operators that do not contemplate (or do not want to contemplate) decentralisation and autonomy. Conflicts with a decentralised and autonomous dimension that are solved by very cool alternative legal operators, at the time, by humans governed by their own will, . and nothing else Conflicts with a decentralised and autonomous dimension that are resolved by autonomous and decentralised laws that, as such, provide for decentralisation and autonomy. By way of (in)conclusion. ➡️ We are all looking for something We are all looking for something. Diogenes a righteous man in the streets of Athens, candle in hand; Ichabod Crane a kind truth behind the terrifying Headless Horseman; Indiana Jones the Lost Ark in an unbridled race against esoteric Nazis; Sebastian, between the black keys of a piano, the love lost through an infinite renunciation of love for his beloved Mia; and, finally, searches with his MetaLeX for an that will make a free world possible —almost nothing. Gabriel Shapiro Autonomus Law The : a spoiler ➡️ Autonomous Law The to which the devotes the bulk of its text —a third at least— is something like a new normative paradigm, a new kind of legal order that will allow humans to escape the clutches of nation states and their - and -national entanglements. Autonomous Law MetaLeX whitepaper supra infra And given the state of decadence and woke perversion of Western governments, of everything that sounds or resonates with Public Administration —and this is not an opinion: it is an easily verifiable empirical observation, a notorious fact in the technical-legal-proven sense—, it seems to me that the search for MetaLeX is an enterprise worth supporting —we, who still don't know how 😅, we're in! This that dazzles us: Autonomous Law is law because it aims to regulate (in part) human interaction; is decentralised because it will reside on a blockchain; it is ( ) because the blockchain, and everything that resides in it, is code; code code is law it is because, as the execution of code (with or without AI, but AI is also code, and only code - at least for the moment, until consciousness emerges...), it does not require human intervention, i.e. the self-execution of the code is the application of the law itself. autonomous And it is because the government and the legal decision by way of the law-code, at the time of the code, the , will be independent of the as well as of . Neither traditional law, nor the humans who create it, will have anything to say about the rule of code once it is born into the world of the blockchain. autonómica rule of code rule of law the rule of men This deserves clarification in order to escape sophistry. Just as the created cannot free itself from its creation, no law can free itself from the clutches of the man who creates it. Only the constituent law, which initiates a Legal Order, can (relatively) do so under the artifice of the by which it itself, and not its creator, sets itself up as the principle of everything. And, thus, under the impossible that the constituent law itself contains in itself the will to be constituted, as a normative , is that can make it seem as if it is born and we can make it seem as if it is so. legal fiction ouroboros it ➡️ The whitepaper: one interpretation (ours) If you page through the whitepaper, its first ten pages are an interesting introduction that operates as an extensive until, around page ten, we are presented with a sort of table of contents that corresponds to the three phases of logical and chronological development of the MetaLeX project to reach the . captatio benevolentiae Autonomous Law At this point, in these lines, we are not so much interested in how the Autonomous Law is arrived at, nor therefore in the phases, as in the concept of Autonomous Law itself. Moreover - it must be said - because the description of phases 1 and 2 is clear enough to get a good idea of what we are talking about, but not sufficiently detailed to know what the hell we are talking about beyond that idea. We can all get a good idea of what unicorns are from what we talk about them; but none of us can know exactly what the hell a unicorn is until we e.g. see it, tame it, ride it, feed it… From this point of view, we will summarise the phases, in our own style. ➡️➡️ Phase 1: BORGs Phase 1 essentially concerns the creation of blockchain programmes that apply rules in a community of users. fully autonomous In this sense, a law is ultimately a very special kind of rule that is distinguished from other rules by its origin: if the rule is dictated by the state, it is a law; if it is dictated by your father or mother, it is a precept of family behaviour; if it is dictated by a criminal gang, it is the code of a mafia. But for all these groups —state, family, mafia— the rule operates as law, whether it is called law, precept or code; in other words, the law, the precept and the code are functionally equivalent within the respective target community. So a programme on the blockchain that applies rules is, for the purposes of the community resident in the protocol where it is applied, its own law. Whether it is recognised as such outside that community —and this is, strictly speaking, the crux of the matter— is another matter. These programmes are called BORGs ( ) and are like sub-DaOs stripped down, fully autonomous from a parent DAO. Suppose a DAO requires six Fi functions to function. Some of these functions with the current state of the art are fully autonomous; others are not —and that is precisely why we have this mess of BORGs, to gradually implement, as technology makes it possible, the next phases. For each fully autonomous Fi function, a programme is created to implement it, a BORG. This is then like the DAO for the sole purpose of that particular fully autonomous function. Then, there will come a point where for every Fi function of the DAO there is a BORG that implements it. However, not even at that point will the DAO be, let us say, the conjunctive sum of all these BORGs: cyBernetic ORGanisationS {BORGi} ≢ DAO The DAO is an emergence from this set of BORGs, a something more. Just as a daisy is not reduced to the petals that have been shed along with the stem; nor is a company qua legal entity (with or without legal personality, it is not relevant here) the sum of its partners, or the sum of its departments, or the sum of its strategies, or the sum of its articles of association...; so it is not the case that the DAO we have been talking about is the sum of its BORGs. That “something else” which is the daisy or the society qua legal entity with respect to the component parts is a emergence just as the DAO is a mereological emergence of those BORGs. Which brings us headlong into the second phase. mereological ➡️➡️ Phase 2: Deal Technology For this set of BORGs -{BORGs} - to identify with the DAO, it is necessary for its elements to work in a coordinated manner. This will be achieved through a series of agreements between the BORGs that will then validate the identity: {BORGi} + TFA ≡ autDAO Where TFA = Technological Framework Agreement, a set of covenants that make the set of BORGs cease to be just that, a set of BORGs, and become an entity functionally equivalent to the DAO from which they were detached. Now, the final result will be so qualitatively different from the DAO that it will also be substantially different from it: it will be a true DAO (= autDAO) . That is: 2 the set of BORGs plus their TMA operates as a perfectly autonomous and autonomous version (autDAO) of the imperfect autonomous and autonomous DAO that gave birth to them. From this perspective, and as far as these two phases are concerned, it can be said that, at the end of the day, MetaLeX only aims to recover the pure sense of the DAO, a DAO that technological limitations and human praxis have turned decentralisation and autonomy into an absurdity, because I don't care whether the one at the top governs or the one next to him governs, if it is the case that the one at the top and the one next to him have exactly the same power. ➡️➡️ Phase 3: Autonomous Law Our autDAOs —well, those of MetaLeX, that is— as social entities that are also social entities, however much they reside in the blockchain, will interact with each other and with the world of flesh and blood; that interaction will generate conflict; and that conflict will have to be resolved. And this is —in our opinion— where the whitepaper puts its finger on the problem —we recommend reading it, in particular the headings and . We, here, present it as follows: Phase 3-Autonomus Law Conclusion ➡️➡️➡️ Conflicts with a decentralised and autonomous dimension that are resolved by laws and legal operators that do not (or do not want to) contemplate decentralisation and autonomy If these conflicts are resolved under the , state legal systems, also from above and from below), they will de facto nullify the essence of the underlying structures that have been so hard to create. rule of law , trying to explain the Kantian categories of time and space, that the world is seen through the lenses of the glasses you wear: if pink, then rose-coloured. This, which our grandparents used to tell us in other less refined but certainly more understandable ways, is as true as the sun. Warburton explained And so, if it is the case —and it is— that the creators of the laws of the world of flesh and blood do not look at the world through the lens of and , then it is also the case that their laws do not have these concepts embedded in their letter and that, therefore, their application on a decentralised and autonomous factual substratum will overlook in whole or in part the of that factual substratum. In other words: the laws and their application will the decentralised and autonomous dimension of the conflict, so that the conflict will be resolved as if there were no decentralisation and autonomy. decentralisation autonomy decentralised and autonomous nature disregard And it makes no difference to me whether "X is not in Y" or "X being in Y, X is disregarded as being in Y". ➡️➡️➡️ Conflicts with a decentralised and autonomous dimension that are solved by very cool alternative legal operators, at the time, by humans governed by their own will, and nothing else And if these conflicts are solved under alternative conflict resolution procedures (panels of experts, forums of wills or opinion polls outside the blockchain, arbitration tribunals...) which, for the sake of this alternativity, are already considered very cool, the setback is even worse. For under the (apparent) success that the conflict where at least one party is an autonomous and decentralised entity is no longer resolved by inconsiderate state laws, but by highly regarded experts or those considered as such, what we are falling into is personalism. And this only departs in degree, but not in quality, from caveman conflict resolution by the tribal sorcerer. ad hoc Humans have not been trampling the earth for two hundred thousand years —to put a figure on it— to escape the reptilian law of men by way of the rule of law in order to, in more refined but no less unjust ways, end up by overthrowing the rule of law by submitting to the will of a forum of (supposedly) very cool experts: humans. Even the worst of laws with judges is better than the best of judges without laws, if only because the former, at least, will always resolve in the same way, while the latter, who knows how they will end up resolving the day they let themselves be carried away by their rages… ➡️➡️➡️ Conflicts with a decentralised and autonomous dimension that are resolved by autonomous and decentralised laws which, as such, provide for decentralisation and autonomy This, and no other, is the end of the road if the product of phases 1 and 2 is to survive in the long term. A law, the (i) which, as a code inserted in the blockchain, contains rules that are intrinsically decentralised in their conception, whose application generates equally decentralised outputs; and (ii) which, as a self-executing code, is applied whether or not its addressees inside and outside the chain want it to be applied, thus endowing the system with , making the system autonomous with respect to the world of flesh and blood, freeing it from both the rule of law and the law of men. Autonomous Law autonomycity (In)conclusion ➡️ The MetaLeX project is ambitious and exciting. But we shall see whether it remains a wet dream, because even its successful implementation is not enough to make it a successful project. If it is based on the creation of an , then to the creation must be added the , if not generalised, then relevant, at least at the sectoral level, of the Autonomous Law created. Autonomous Law adoption Let us explain. The birth of a Legal System is the result of a pact. But not just any pact. It is a pact for at least two reasons. sui generis It is —first reason— because it is a founding pact and, as such, a ; a pact that subjugates —or so it intends— all the other pacts that exist or will exist, just as the contained, and therefore subjugated —and that one really subjugated…— the . Such a pact is called "constituent" (it is, moreover, the first constitutional pact which can later be modified by other constitutional pacts but which are no longer constituent), and what has been agreed is called "Constitution" or "Magna Carta". sui generis pact of pacts One Ring Rings of Power And that Constitution has the vocation of , which is an exception (and a very big one) to the principle of relativity of contracts, a principle whereby —thank God— agreements only have effects between their parties —and for this reason it is also , second reason. having effects vis-à-vis third parties sui generis Of course, the contracting parties are supposed to act on the mandate (representative at least, imperative as a desideratum) of these third parties. They could not otherwise be bound by this agreement, nor by any other. So by representation (imperative or not) the third parties assume the Constitution just as a third party can assume a contract (it is the figure of the assumption of a contract by a third party). However, for the to work, it is necessary, not only that the greatest number of third parties of the target community assume it, but that all third parties of that community assume it, that the community (be it group, tribe, team, club, society…) assume it as a community. And it is often much more problematic to implement this statement: constituent thing for every Si subject of the community {Si}, Si assumes the covenant, than this other: for a majority of Si subjects of the community {Yes}, Si assumes the pact. Why? Because the world doesn't need to be full of to fuck up the invention; it's enough that there is one for that, to fuck it up. And the fact is that the word “all” beyond rhetoric and poetics becomes a word as problematic as it is problematic —speaking — to prove that . free riders à la Hempel ”all ravens are black” Following the brilliant Searle —later terribly reviled— we can say that: A proposition counts as a rule if it is accepted that this proposition is a rule. This sounds like a truism, but it is not. If I say to you: (Ⲁ) "To get into my house you have to take off your shoes", that proposition will only be a rule if you, as well as I, accept it as a rule. For of a proposition that pretends to be a rule and is not followed by anyone we do not know whether it can be predicated to be a rule —Wittgenstein may have gone half-mad over something like that. And this will be the case of the autDAO after the end of phase 2: they will be entities of the world governed by rules that will be accepted ad intra. But their ad extra acceptance will require an exogenous-dependent plus. And we continue with Searle : 3 "rules of the form are then constitutive of institutional structures”. X counts as Y in C Which we can rewrite as follows: When a proposition counts as a rule in a community, the rule is institutionalised and we can predicate it to be a law that community. for Which, following our example of my house and your shoes, would mean that the proposition (Ⲁ) would not require your acceptance to be a rule if it is the case that in the neighbourhood in which you and I live it has already been accepted as a rule: it is a neighbourhood law —so to speak. All of which, translated to the matter at hand, means that: For the autDAO rules to count as in the blockchain community, it is necessary for the community to consider them as such. Autonomous Law This conclusion is quite hopeless for MetaLeX as the blockchain community is a network of networks made up of tens or hundreds of thousands of communities (layer 1, 2… n; more with the protocols within each layer; more with the organisations within each protocol…).

The MetaLeX Whitepaper

Welcome to the digital stage, a dazzling world where you, the streamer, take the spotlight, weaving stories and sharing moments in real-time. Here, speed isn't just a feature; it's the very essence of your performance, the heartbeat of your connection with a global audience. Yet, lurking in the shadows of this dynamic landscape is a notorious villain, a showstopper dreaded by performers and audiences alike: "Buffering." This unwelcome guest introduces annoying pauses during your live streams, holding your viewers in suspense, but for all the wrong reasons. It's the hiccup in your performance you didn't script, the unintended cliffhanger that can turn cheers into jeers. Not quite the dramatic twist you were aiming for, right? Enter the Hero: CDN to the Rescue! So, how do you keep the show going smoothly? The secret weapon against this pesky interruption is something called a Content Delivery Network (CDN). Picture a CDN as your behind-the-scenes crew, strategically positioned worldwide. Their mission? To ensure your live performance reaches the audience super fast, no matter where they're seated in the digital auditorium. How Does This Behind-the-Scenes Crew Work?(CDN) When you go live, rather than your performance trekking from a distant server (which gives buffering a chance to crash your show), it's broadcasted from the CDN team member nearest to your viewers. It's like having a local stage in every city, ensuring your performance is live and direct, without delay. Why This Matters to You, the Performer In a world where the audience's patience wears thinner than a tightrope, even a slight hiccup in your stream can lead to a mass exodus from your digital venue. That's where CDNs shine. They're the unsung heroes keeping the digital stage lit, ensuring your show flows without a hitch and your audience stays captivated. The Secret Sauce: 5centsCDN Among the cadre of digital stagehands, 5centsCDN steals the spotlight. With an extensive network ensuring your performance is as smooth as a rehearsed Broadway number, buffering doesn't stand a chance. Think of as your personal stage manager, guaranteeing a seamless show from curtain rise to curtain call. 5centsCDN Encore! The Standing Ovation Benefits Adopting a CDN isn't just about dodging buffering; it's like unlocking a chest of performance-enhancing treasures: : Like a world tour, a CDN takes your show to viewers far and wide, ensuring no fan misses out, no matter their locale. Global Audience Reach : Keep your audience's eyes glued with crystal-clear streaming, as vivid as live theater, making every detail and emotion pop off the screen. HD Quality : Your performance hits the stage faster than a tap dancer's feet, with nary a pause, keeping the rhythm and energy of your stream alive. Supercharged Speed : Safeguard your content like a backstage pass, keeping digital gatecrashers at bay and ensuring your exclusive content remains exclusive. Fort Knox Security : More show for less dough because an efficient stream doesn't drain your production budget, leaving more resources for creative endeavors. Cost Efficiency Casting Your CDN Sidekick Not all CDNs are ready for the limelight. When scouting for your streaming co-star, consider their global network, ability to dodge internet traffic jams, and, of course, the ticket price. It's like choosing the best supporting actor for your blockbuster show—a crucial decision that can elevate your performance. The Final Bow In the vast theater of the internet, your live stream deserves the main stage. Thanks to CDNs, you can give your audience the seamless, high-definition performance they came for. When it comes to ensuring that no single act is missed, 5centsCDN is the wingman every streamer dreams of. So, here's to uninterrupted streaming, standing ovations, and encores galore!

This article is here to encourage you to enter the world of Capture The Flag competitions. It’s a great way to start learning cybersecurity and become an ethical hacker! Together with my team, we are organizing a beginner-friendly event that you can join at 👉 . Registration is now open! https://1753ctf.com Do You Feel the Urge to Follow the White Rabbit? Hackers. Those shadowy figures, fingers flying across keyboards in darkened rooms, capable of bringing down corporations and holding governments hostage. Ever since I saw Angelina Jolie in "Hackers" and Keanu Reeves dodging bullets in "The Matrix," there's been an allure to the world of bits and bytes. There's something undeniably cool about possessing that secret knowledge and wielding power in the digital realm. But being a hacker isn't about flashy Hollywood portrayals. It's a mindset, a burning curiosity that pushes you to peel back the layers and dissect how things function. truly A hacker is a relentless tinkerer, a puzzle-solver, always ready to chart the unknown reaches of the digital frontier. That unwavering thirst for exploration is what led me to the world of Capture the Flag competitions, and today, I want to show you this world and encourage you to enter it together with me! Let’s Capture Some Flags! So, CTFs. What are they? Think of them as elaborate scavenger hunts for the cybersecurity-obsessed, a proving ground where the hacker mindset can truly shine. Imagine a sprawling digital playground, meticulously crafted with hidden vulnerabilities and intricate puzzles. Organizers cleverly conceal "flags" – the coveted proof of your success – within seemingly innocuous systems, obscure file formats, or even cleverly designed physical devices.  But what exactly a flag? is It's usually a unique text string, often in a specific format like . 1753c{fake_flag_try_harder} To conquer a CTF, you'll need a diverse arsenal of skills. One moment, you might be deciphering ancient cryptography, painstakingly unraveling an encrypted message. The next, you could be reverse-engineering a mysterious piece of software, tracing its logic backward to uncover hidden functionality. Web applications become your next target as you hunt for subtle flaws that could grant you unauthorized access. CTFs encompass a dazzling array of disciplines: forensics, network analysis, binary exploitation...the list goes on, but the most popular categories are the following: You might find a flag hidden within the source code of a vulnerable website, accessible only after exploiting a flaw like a SQL injection. Web Exploitation: A flag could be the result of successfully decrypting a coded message, requiring you to break or deduce the cipher used. Cryptography: Sometimes, you'll need to dissect a piece of software, digging through its compiled code to find a hidden key that serves as the flag. Reverse Engineering: Analyzing a disk image or a memory dump might reveal a flag hidden within deleted files or concealed data structures. Forensics: In PWN (or 'pwn-able) challenges, you'll exploit vulnerabilities in a piece of software to gain control of its execution. This might allow you to read a special file containing the flag, or even trick the program into giving you the flag directly. PWN: The most popular format, the Jeopardy-style CTF, presents you with a massive scoreboard of challenges. Each puzzle has a point value reflecting its difficulty. It's a thrilling race against the clock – you'll find yourself battling not only the challenges themselves but also the relentless ticking of time and the knowledge that other skilled hackers across the globe are hot on your heels. But do not worry. Although every solved puzzle and every captured flag brings a thrilling rush of satisfaction, the true magic of CTFs lies beyond just the scoreboard. Marking a First Step… My first CTF will always hold a special place in my memory. I was at a conference with a side event CTF – thankfully, a beginner-friendly one organized . With ten years of software development under my belt, I thought, "How hard can it be to break some code?" My overconfidence was quickly humbled! by the military forces Sure, I solved a few challenges and had a blast in the process, but it was truly an eye-opening experience. It was like ajaring a closet door and discovering an entire world on the other side! The security world turned out to be a jungle. It is massive, but capture-the-flag competitions are a fun way to explore it. The competitive spirit fuels your online research and pushes you to learn. Nothing beats that burst of adrenaline when, after hours of tinkering, you finally see the flag pop up on your screen. And what if you spend all that time and won’t find the flag? The time you spend is not wasted. Oh no. Nothing like that. First, you learn a lot during this process, cause here, the journey is actually more valuable than reaching the goal itself. Second, Capture the Flags are also a team experience. You share knowledge, witness unique problem-solving approaches, and grow together. Through CTFs, I've made incredible friends, traveled the world, and become part of amazing communities. It all started with that spontaneous decision to participate in my very first CTF. Sign Me In! How Do I Start? CTF events frequently take place on weekends, and you can find a comprehensive calendar on the website. However, locating beginner-friendly CTFs can be challenging.  A well-designed beginner CTF should offer thoughtfully crafted challenges with a balanced difficulty level, allowing even newcomers to capture some flags. CTF Time Fortunately, my CTF team and I are hosting on March 15th, 2024. This unique competition will take place directly on our Discord server, fostering a community where participants can learn together and connect with fellow cybersecurity enthusiasts. a beginner-friendly online event We'd love to have you join us!
