“If you hire a fraudster to defraud someone, you’ll have to expect getting defrauded.” - Horst Evers Earlier, I wrote an article for CryptoCoin.News about . What struck me were the sheer lengths some crypto scammers are apparently willing to go, just to rip people off their hard-earned money. frontrunning DEX trades After all, we live in a world where you could just impersonate some famous crypto celebrity, upload one of his videos to a fake YouTube account, drop your wallet address in the video description and promise the viewer to return twice the amount sent to the address. Easy bucks. Typically, crypto scams don’t reward effort. They usually target inexperienced and gullible users in such a way that these schemes can be repeated over and over again. This is how scammers maximize their return on investment. The fake frontrunning bot is not one of these. These are highly sophisticated scams targeting advanced crypto users and boy, does this rabbit hole run deep. Here’s what I found. The Frontrunning Scam Analyzed Over the last two months, quite a few YouTube videos have been uploaded that appear to be tutorials for how to operate a frontrunning bot. These videos instruct the viewer to deploy and fund a smart contract, which will then supposedly carry out the frontrunning transactions. As “proof” that the bot works, the scammer then funds the contract with 0.4 BNB and magically, a few minutes later, his wallet shows a balance of almost 10 BNB. What makes this scam so peculiar is that the scammer actually tells a convincingly believable story. While making an almost 25x return in just a few minutes is still way out there, frontrunning is actually a multi-million dollar unethical activity that is taking place around the clock, which is basically an open secret in DeFi. Also, having the victims deploy their own smart contract gives them a false feeling of security. Here is an example a fake frontrunning bot scam: There’s actually a plethora of these videos out there on YouTube. Somehow, they usually manage to stay online for weeks, so cheers to YouTube’s response speed. I picked this one since that scammer made an extra effort to look legit in his comments, even commenting how all the other bots are scams, but this is finally the true one. Of course, all of the accounts that commented were created on the same day the comment was written. Let’s Take a Look at the Smart Contract Now, I’m not really a Solidity coder, but what immediately sticks out is that most code lines are commented out, which should be a telltale sign that something fishy is going on here. Within the code lines that are not commented out, there isn’t much to see either, except some variable declarations. Then, there is the action() function the scammer prompts us to call in his video. This function consists almost entirely out of comments and several lines that simply state manager;. Also, there is this line, which I guess will ultimately send the funds to the scammer’s address. But there is no address anywhere in the code that would point at the scammer, except the WBNB contract address, which is commented out. The answer can be found in the import statements. Besides three contracts that are imported from Uniswap’s Github, there is also a fourth import from an IPFS URL. Another red flag. On first glance, that contract looks exactly the same, except that there’s now even more lines that are commented out. However, the contract is called “Manager”, so I guess that this is what is called over and over in the original contract. Here, we can also find the scammer’s address in an uncommented line. Great, so we can now take a look at this address on and find that the scammer received a total of more than 40,000 USD in BNB already, oftentimes in tranches of 0.4 BNB, which he advises in the video as the minimum funding amount. Scam confirmed! bscscan So why all This Effort? The question remains though why someone would come up with a scam so elaborate, while it seems far easier and more rewarding to just spam people on social media with fake airdrops or phishing messages. My best guess is that the dubious nature of frontrunning provides an extra layer of security from law enforcement for the scammers. Nobody who loses 250 USD to a scammer will ever go to the police and say “Hey, I got ripped off while trying to engage in some morally questionable and potentially illegal crypto practice”. Also, it might be easier on the scammer’s own conscience if they go after people who are apparently trying to make money using immoral methods. Of course that doesn’t make it OK though. The victims who fall for this scam are still ordinary and mostly inexperienced crypto users. Anyway, if I were to judge which is more morally wrong, using a frontrunning bot or scamming people with fake frontrunning bots, I’d definitely say the latter. Another theory I have, although I think that it’s a lot less probable, is that some of the scammers are actually operating frontrunning bots and plant the scam videos as a decoy to deter other people from actually going into frontrunning and becoming competitors. Also, the real work was coming up with this scam type, but it is extremely easy to replicate. Just take the scammer’s code, swap his wallet address with your own, replicate the video word by word and upload your lure to YouTube. Maybe curate the comments a bit (not everyone does it) and wait for the money to trickle in. This video from Chris Daniels, who also analyzed this new scam type, actually showcases how most of the videos contain exactly the same text that is read by people with different voices, so apparently, that scam has already found its copycats: Are there any legitimate frontrunning bots? Define “legitimate”. I’m not going to comment on the ethics of frontrunning here, but let’s just say that the whole frontrunning scene has quite a few characteristics of organized crime. Exclusivity is one of them. Most of the open-source DEX trading (sniping) bots I’ve seen so far just listen for an external event, like a DEX listing or listing on CoinMarketCap and try to be the first in line for buying a token early on. I would say that this is in fact a legitimate use case for automated trading, but your mileage may vary. Among the bots that claim to be able to actually frontrun DEX trades, I have only seen one that is free, but Windows Defender doesn’t let me execute it, stating that it’s a trojan. I’ve uploaded the files to VirusTotal and they confirmed that the two executables both contain malware, the trojans Wacatac and Uwamson, in addition to a coin miner. Other frontrunning bots are for sale with their supposed developers sometimes charging thousands of Dollars. And of course you cannot be sure that these people won’t either try to scam you as well, or send you a bot that is also laced with malware. Occasionally, you’ll even come across YouTube videos that say “Hey, don’t fall for fake frontrunning bots, they changed the code, here’s the real one” or something like that. But we can definitely rule that out. Conducting frontrunning attacks with just a smart contract is impossible. First of all, in order to pull off a frontrun, you need to have knowledge of an upcoming DEX trade, in other words, you need to have access to the mempool. Smart contracts can only see data that is already published in the blockchain, but they can’t see the mempool. Also, smart contracts don’t really do anything unless one of their functions is called. They’re not actively scanning the blockchain waiting for transactions. Even if you would somehow gain knowledge of a DEX trade and communicate that knowledge to a smart contract which is supposed to carry out the attack, this method would be way too slow for a successful frontrun. At the very least, you’d need to have a script running that actively checks the mempool for incoming swaps and then directly calls the DEX smart contracts at a higher gas price. Could it be? And that brings me back to the the scammers from YouTube present us with, especially the lines that are commented out. phony smart contract code At first, I thought that these are just garbage code to bulk up the contract and make it look like it is actually doing something. Upon closer inspection, I noticed something though. I want to stress once more that I am not a developer, but even with my limited coding knowledge, I can see that this isn’t Solidity code at all. If I were to guess, I would say that it’s JavaScript. And lo and behold, that commented out code actually does make references to frontrunning attacks. It also seems to connect to an Infura node, which indeed has access to the mempool. I can’t say whether this is really true, I hope that someone who can understand what that code does can help me out here, but could it be that these scammers have actually hidden the real frontrunning bot in plain sight? Now that would be too comical, wouldn’t it?

Inside Crypto’s Most Elaborate Scams: Fake Frontrunning Bots 

painting of me by , commissioned by a scammer Elena Malva Software is eating the world, but blockchains are kicking the asses of scammers. If you haven’t heard about by now, you’re likely living under a rock. Blockchain ICOs make Silicon Valley bros wet their pants and it’s like a new religion has been created overnight. the blockchain Very few people understand what a blockchain is, let alone what a blockchain can do in the real world, but the story I’m about to tell you will hopefully illustrate it. This is a crazy story I’m about to tell you. It involves art, multiple identity thefts, the Ukraine, the Steem blockchain, myself and Sherlock Holmes. Well, it’s not the Sherlock Holmes, but an account in named @sherlockholmes. real Steemit Here goes: A number of weeks ago, a user named painted a very detailed portrait of myself. I didn’t know this user as she was not my friend at the time in Steemit. Here’s the portrait she painted of me (as my Steemicide Hotline character). It’s quite detailed and pretty good: Steemit @elena2017 art by Elena Malva I upvoted her post which resulted in her gaining some Steem, reputation score increases and also name recognition in the community. After she painted my portrait, I began supporting and sharing more of her posts in Steemit. She began attracting more followers because her artistic talent was pretty impressive. Here’s one of my favorites of hers: art by Elena Malva Fast forward several weeks….. Yesterday, a user named appropriately, , revealed his shocking findings about the account, @elena2017: it was a total fake. And he had the evidence to prove it. @elena2017 had stolen the identity of a real artist from the Ukraine named and had been posting her photos, paintings and drawings on Steemit for months. But how was my portrait painted, and who painted it? Who was the person holding the portrait of me? Someone painted my portrait, but who? @sherlockholmes Elena Malva This is where the story gets super weird. The scammer had contacted the real Elena ( ) and paid her $15 to create a portrait of me. The scammer had also requested that the real Elena take photos of herself holding the portrait of me. Here is a photo of the real Elena holding the portrait of me: Elena Malva Elena holds painting of me After the scammer had paid the real Elena to paint a picture of me, she posted it on Steemit and milked this thing like no tomorrow. The scammer wrote several posts that glorified me as “Steemit’s Best Blogger” and other stuff like that, which I naturally upvoted. A quick visit to the real reveals the disturbing reality of being smack in the middle of an identity theft. She clearly states that she has never joined Steemit, and that someone has stolen her identity and is posting her artwork for monetary gain on Steemit: Elena’s Facebook page Sherlock Holmes had also posted another update to his earlier post about Elena. It revealed that was not the only artist who was being impersonated. The scam ring extended to 4 other Ukrainian artists, and Sherlock was untangling the story behind each one. All of the identity theft artist accounts were tied to , which is a real person. Sherlock had reached out to @annart both on Steemit and on (Russian Facebook) but unlike the artists whose identities were stolen, this person never responded back to Sherlock. Elena Malva @annart vk.com https://vk.com/id57240151 You can read @sherlockholmes’ full story here: https://steemit.com/steemit/@sherlockholmes/case-6-busting-annart-s-ukrainian-fake-artist-ring It was at this time I decided to do a little searching on the blockchain, just to ensure that all this information was correct. Since I had never heard of @sherlockholmes until recently, I wanted to make sure his evidence was rock solid. How Money Flows In And Out of Steemit It’s important to know how money flows in and out of . In order to withdraw your Steem from , you need to set up an account at one of the cryptocurrency exchanges, like . Since this scammer used Bittrex, let’s go over how that works. Steemit Steemit Bittrex.com Every Bittrex account for Steem has a memo identification associated with it. So, each time you withdraw Steem from Steemit into your Bittrex account, you have to use your memo id. If you don’t use it, Bittrex will not know where to send your Steem, and you will lose your money. The memo id is like your personal address in Bittrex. It’s your identification. These memo id’s show up in everyone’s account, and because Steemit runs on a blockchain, this data is available for everyone to study. This also means that everyone can see everyone’s account, as all wallets and money transactions are transparent. In fact, you can see all activity on the Steem blockchain, even deleted comments. So, I took a look at @annart’s transactions on the Steem blockchain in order to find a memo id connected to her withdrawal to Bittrex: @annart’s Bittrex memo: (notice the memo id: 462ccc1af1f64901aa8) If you’ve never seen a blockchain before, here’s your chance: And here’s even a more in-depth look at the blockchain structure, when we click on the raw block data: Next, I wanted to find a Bittrex memo id from the other accounts which Sherlock had accused of being run by @annart. Here’s a transaction from @elena2017 and sure enough, the memo id is exactly the same as @annart’s. (notice the memo id: 462ccc1af1f64901aa8) This means the money from these two Steemit accounts is going into the same Bittrex account. In fact, all the fake accounts: @elena2017, @nellyhandmade, @katrinart and use the exact same memo id, , as @annart does. The money from all 5 Steemit accounts is going into 1 Bittrex account. @juliyahandwork 462ccc1af1f64901aa8 The expression, “Follow The Money” applies very well in this case. Sherlock went the extra mile and hunted down all the artists on legacy social media sites (Facebook, Instagram, VK.com) whose identities were thought to be stolen to confirm that they were not on Steemit. All the artists in question told him they were not on Steemit. The @annart account was the only one which never replied to him. It became crystal clear that an elaborate scam ring involving 4 identity thefts was being run by @annart. I did a little extra investigating and discovered that all these accounts tended to upvote each other, too. This was to be expected since getting noticed in Steemit requires upvotes and comments. After using the blockchain to confirm Sherlock’s evidence, I began flagging the posts made by these accounts, thereby taking away any monetary rewards they had made. I tend to avoid flagging people in Steemit unless it’s absolutely necessary, as in this case of an actual identity thief. But my voting and flagging power doesn’t last forever. After flagging more than 15–20 different posts by @elena2017 on top of a regular day’s voting for authors, my voting strength was nearly wiped out. The algorithm that controls this voting strength behavior was created intentionally to prevent abuse from individuals. In my case, because I’ve worked very hard for over a year in Steemit and gained the trust of many in the Steemit community, I wrote (whales in steemit are those who have large accounts and the ability to remove monetary rewards plus lower the reputation of others.) After the news was spread that a scammer had been busted, others swooped in and began flagging the 5 accounts. a post requesting the help of other whales Without the blockchain, none of this fraudulent activity would be possible to know Having access to this immutable blockchain data makes it possible for ordinary citizens to investigate suspicious activity. for certain. This is the real reason why everyone is wetting their pants about right now. the blockchain This has never been possible before, because money transactions have always been hidden away from ordinary citizens…… until now. But make no mistake, the blockchain does not do the work of busting up a scam ring by itself. The blockchain is only a tool. The blockchain is a tool for humans. The blockchain is a tool that can be utilized or ignored. The blockchain is only as useful as the person using it. If the world, and all the people in it stop giving a crap about deception, identity theft, scams, and corruption, guess what? Blockchains become useless. Moreover, if all of us don’t take responsibility for ourselves and society, and always think: “Let someone else take care of it,” blockchains will become useless. One of my Facebook friends remarked after reading about the Ukrainian scam ring: “Scammer from Ukraine? This stinks because there is no system there that will deal with her. Hope your Steem Team blast her!” I answered: “Scams exist everywhere but since all our transactions are transparent on the blockchain, frauds can easily be caught. There is a system: it’s called a passionate community.” A passionate virtual community means people actually giving a shit what happens to people. I never had a tool like the blockchain before and I admit that this is a brand-new powerful combination: Giving a shit + the blockchain = radical change to make society better. It’s quite possible that someone like Trump wouldn’t even be able to coexist in the future world of blockchains. The best part of this story is that Sherlock and I reached out to the real Elena to let her know that her scammer is being punished will soon become a non-entity in Steemit. Furthermore, I have personally invited Elena to Steemit, and hopefully, when she joins, I’ll introduce her to the Steemit community, so people will know that she’s the real deal.

SETUP We conduct a series of numerical simulations of a rotating magnetic wind from a massive WD merger product with a stable nuclear burning occurring at the near surface region. We first describe the general numerical setup including the governing equations, the Riemann solver, the mesh decomposition, and the boundary conditions in Sec. 2.1. We then describe the source term that represents the injection of mass and internal energy at the near surface nuclear burning region in Sec. 2.2. Finally, we elaborate on setups related to magnetic fields. 2.1. Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations We numerically integrate ideal MHD equations with central gravity; We use the HLLD approximate Riemann solver for the MHD equations (Miyoshi & Kusano 2005) with the secondorder piecewise linear reconstruction method (PLM). The time integration is carried out by the second-order RungeKutta method with Courant-Friedrich-Lewy number of 0.1. The computational domain is resolved with the mesh number of 128 for [0.9, 30] R∗ in the radial direction and 128 for [0, π] in the polar direction. We employ a non-uniform mesh in the radial direction, where the radial grid size is proportional to the radius. The fiducial value of the grid size ratio ∆r(i + 1)/∆r(i) is 1.02 so that the smallest cell size is 0.05, where i stands for the grid index. In this paper, we consider the cases with Ω∗ = [0.05, 0.07, 0.12, 0.16, 0.23, 0.35, 0.46] s−1, which correpsonds to ∼ 5-50 % of the mass shedding limit. In terms of the inner ghost cell’s density and pressure, we carefully prescribe their values to achieve a specific thermally-driven wind mass loss rate (see Sec. 2.2). Initially, we distribute a cold and homogeneous gas throughout the entire computational domain and inject the thermally-driven wind from the designated launching region. As the thermally-driven outflow reaches the outer boundary, we initiate an aligned dipole field at the inner boundary, facilitating the transformation of the wind into a rotating magnetic wind (see Sec. 2.3). 2.2. Wind launching region We initialize our simulation with a cold, homogeneous, isotropic and non-magnetized atmosphere, and set up a “wind launching region” [2] with a width of D near the WD surface, where the mass is injected to the computational domain to mimic the mass loading due to the carbon burning around the surface of massive WD merger product. To do that, we implement an isotropic relaxation function for both matter and energy source terms to update density and pressure in wind launching region: where ρ∗ and p∗ correspond to the density and pressure at the outer edge of the wind launching region. The actual value of the relaxation timescale τ is chosen to satisfy the condition, 2.3. Rotating magnetic wind The launched gas will then corotate with the rotating magnetic field, and the magnetic torque, which depends on the resultant magnetospheric structure and the polar angle, can also contribute to the wind acceleration in addition to the thermal pressure gradient. As a result, we expect a rotating magnetic wind to start blowing in an angle dependent manner, and relax to a quasi-steady state when it reaches to the outer boundary. We simulate the rotating magnetic wind for a few 10 × the spin period after turning on the magnetic field.

Magnetic Wind From a Massive White Dwarf Merger: Setup

One of the most effective ways to cultivate an engaged and productive team is to actively demonstrate appreciation for your employees’ hard work and dedication. When individuals feel genuinely valued by their employer, it translates into improved morale, heightened job satisfaction, increased productivity, and greater overall retention. Showing genuine gratitude doesn't have to be an elaborate or costly endeavor. Even seemingly simple yet thoughtful gestures can go a long way in making your staff feel recognized and energized about their contributions to the company. Whether through personalized acknowledgments, unique incentives, or fostering a strong sense of community, there are myriad creative approaches to expressing appreciation. Personalized recognition A simple but powerful way to make employees feel appreciated is through personalized recognition of their efforts. According to Asim Hafeez, Owner and Operator of Empower Energy Solutions, “Showing your employees that you genuinely care through personal gestures that recognize their value and contributions resonates deeply.” This recognition can be as easy as direct, one-on-one praise or a handwritten thank-you note acknowledging specific contributions. Whatever approach you take, make sure to tell your employees face-to-face that they are doing well. Public recognition is also highly impactful. “Recognizing employees' achievements in team meetings or through company-wide communications makes them feel valued and seen by their peers and the broader organization,” says Amanda Webster, vice president of Fund & Grow. Simple acts like announcing an “Employee of the Month” or giving shout-outs during meetings can motivate individuals and foster a culture of collaboration. Team building and community Creating a strong sense of community and team cohesion is another way to make employees feel truly part of something bigger. “Organize events that allow employees to relax and bond outside work, such as team dinners, outings, or recreational activities,” Webster suggests. “These events can enhance team cohesion and make everyone feel like part of a community.” Jay Avigdor, CEO and president of Velocity Capital Group, takes this principle even further by striving to build a truly family-like atmosphere. “Everyone here is far more than an employee — we're all family,” he says. “Team-building activities, outings, and fostering an authentic sense of belonging will pay dividends in productivity and retention efforts.” Professional development opportunities Investing in both your employees’ professional and personal growth demonstrates a vested interest in their long-term success. “I can’t stress enough how everything stems from genuine care,” Hafeez notes. “Investing in your employees’ personal growth and professional development shows that you care, and they will be more willing to offer the same care right back into your company.” For example, Webster states, “Investing in your employees' growth by providing training, workshops, or courses shows that you value their development and future.” However, providing learning opportunities is only one facet. “Consistent feedback and open communication are essential,” says Asha Tarry, a licensed psychotherapist, caregiver coach, and owner of Behavioral Health Consulting Services LMSW, PLLC. “Employees like periodic updates on their work performance because it allows them to take inventory of themselves and set short-term goals they can review with their managers.” As Tarry explains, this dialogue allows employees to gain clarity on expectations and voice any needs for further training or support. It also facilitates an environment where growth is prioritized and shows you are actively invested in their professional journeys. Unique incentives and perks Creative incentives and fun workplace perks can infuse excitement and tangible rewards into your appreciation efforts. Avigdor, for example, utilizes an innovative “spinning wheel” system. “The more we fund, the more spins they get,” Avigdor explains. “For every $1 million we fund, the team gets a spin at the end of the month for items like new Airpods, cash prizes of $150 or $200, mystery prizes, and gift cards. If we fund more, it means they’ve worked harder, and the more spins they get.” Avigdor goes on to describe additional creative perks at his company. “One day, we had breakfast that came to the office with an omelet chef and a guy who makes professional espressos,” he says. “We even shut down the office once early and had a ventriloquist come for some entertainment!” Other ideas include office treats, creative spaces to recharge, or unique team bonuses. Showing genuine care At the core of any effective appreciation strategy is genuine care and interest in your employees as whole individuals. Hafeez suggests asking questions like, “When was the last time we asked them what their dreams were? When was the last time we had them submit a list of their dreams and followed up with them?” Finding ways to add value to employees' lives outside of work, whether funding a class they're interested in or connecting them to resources, shows that you see them as multidimensional people. “I think that's where the good stuff comes in — when we take genuine interest in adding value to their lives outside,” Hafeez says. Equally important is leading with empathy and consideration. “Being a considerate and respectful speaker had an impact on my self-esteem and performance,” Tarry reflects. “It created more anxiety not only in me, but I saw it firsthand in my colleagues. Conversely, when I worked with managers who were ‘people leaders,’ my mood was better.” When fostering a culture of appreciation within your organization, it’s clear that the simplest gestures often yield the most significant impact. Whether through personalized acknowledgments, fostering a strong sense of community, or investing in professional growth, the key lies in demonstrating genuine care for your employees. By recognizing and celebrating their contributions publicly and privately, you can boost morale and cultivate a sense of belonging and camaraderie. Furthermore, providing opportunities for growth and development, along with creative incentives and perks, reinforces your commitment to their success and well-being. Ultimately, leading with empathy and consideration establishes a foundation of trust and support, paving the way for a motivated and engaged workforce. This story was distributed by Jon Stojan Media under HackerNoon’s Brand As An Author Program. Learn more about the program here: https://business.hackernoon.com/brand-as-author One of the most effective ways to cultivate an engaged and productive team is to actively demonstrate appreciation for your employees’ hard work and dedication. When individuals feel genuinely valued by their employer, it translates into improved morale, heightened job satisfaction, increased productivity, and greater overall retention. Showing genuine gratitude doesn't have to be an elaborate or costly endeavor. Even seemingly simple yet thoughtful gestures can go a long way in making your staff feel recognized and energized about their contributions to the company. Whether through personalized acknowledgments, unique incentives, or fostering a strong sense of community, there are myriad creative approaches to expressing appreciation. Personalized recognition Personalized recognition A simple but powerful way to make employees feel appreciated is through personalized recognition of their efforts. According to Asim Hafeez, Owner and Operator of Empower Energy Solutions , “Showing your employees that you genuinely care through personal gestures that recognize their value and contributions resonates deeply.” Empower Energy Solutions Empower Energy Solutions This recognition can be as easy as direct, one-on-one praise or a handwritten thank-you note acknowledging specific contributions. Whatever approach you take, make sure to tell your employees face-to-face that they are doing well. Public recognition is also highly impactful. “Recognizing employees' achievements in team meetings or through company-wide communications makes them feel valued and seen by their peers and the broader organization,” says Amanda Webster, vice president of Fund & Grow . Simple acts like announcing an “Employee of the Month” or giving shout-outs during meetings can motivate individuals and foster a culture of collaboration. Fund & Grow Fund & Grow Team building and community Team building and community Creating a strong sense of community and team cohesion is another way to make employees feel truly part of something bigger. “Organize events that allow employees to relax and bond outside work, such as team dinners, outings, or recreational activities,” Webster suggests. “These events can enhance team cohesion and make everyone feel like part of a community.” Jay Avigdor, CEO and president of Velocity Capital Group , takes this principle even further by striving to build a truly family-like atmosphere. “Everyone here is far more than an employee — we're all family,” he says. “Team-building activities, outings, and fostering an authentic sense of belonging will pay dividends in productivity and retention efforts.” Velocity Capital Group Velocity Capital Group Professional development opportunities Professional development opportunities Investing in both your employees’ professional and personal growth demonstrates a vested interest in their long-term success. “I can’t stress enough how everything stems from genuine care,” Hafeez notes. “Investing in your employees’ personal growth and professional development shows that you care, and they will be more willing to offer the same care right back into your company.” For example, Webster states, “Investing in your employees' growth by providing training, workshops, or courses shows that you value their development and future.” However, providing learning opportunities is only one facet. “Consistent feedback and open communication are essential,” says Asha Tarry, a licensed psychotherapist, caregiver coach, and owner of Behavioral Health Consulting Services LMSW, PLLC. “Employees like periodic updates on their work performance because it allows them to take inventory of themselves and set short-term goals they can review with their managers.” As Tarry explains, this dialogue allows employees to gain clarity on expectations and voice any needs for further training or support. It also facilitates an environment where growth is prioritized and shows you are actively invested in their professional journeys.

You can jump to any part of the United States International Cyberspace & Digital Policy Strategy here. This part is 23 of 38. Line of Effort 6: Negotiate a Rights-Respecting Cybercrime Treaty The United States, its allies, and partners as well as civil society groups have long supported the Council of Europe Convention on Cybercrime (commonly known as the Budapest Convention) as the most effective tool for providing global standards for criminalizing malicious cyber activities, obtaining electronic evidence, and fostering international cooperation on computer-related crimes. The Convention was drafted to be global and open to all regions. Seventy-two countries, including the United States, are currently parties to the Convention, and 21 additional countries have been invited to accede. While supporting accession to the Budapest Convention, the United States and its partners are also actively working to ensure that negotiations in the UN Ad Hoc Committee to elaborate a convention against cybercrime reach a positive outcome: a rights-respecting cybercrime treaty that would enable all UN member states to cooperate better in the fight against cybercrime. The United States and its partners will continue to oppose overly broad definitions of cybercrime that could be used to stifle freedom of expression, infringe on privacy, and or endanger individuals and communities. The United States will also continue to advocate for necessary and sufficient safeguards commensurate to the scope of the domestic powers and international cooperation provided for in the convention. Maintaining an open, inclusive, and transparent process will best allow states to negotiate a binding agreement with the participation of interested stakeholders. Continue Reading Here.

U.S. Leads Efforts for Rights-Respecting Global Cybercrime Treaty, Ensures Inclusive Negotiations

Decentralized finance (DeFi) continues innovating, with platforms integrating popular messaging apps like Telegram. This convergence brings financial services directly to users, tapping into Telegram's extensive user base and intuitive interface. Projects such as Storm Trade, Telegram Wallet, Ston.Fi and Dedust pioneer this approach, offering trading, wallet, and exchange services within the Telegram ecosystem. As traditional finance and decentralized solutions intersect, Telegram-integrated DeFi platforms simplify complex financial services, potentially driving mass adoption. Storm Trade, a decentralized derivatives trading platform built on the TON blockchain, has been making waves in the Telegram-integrated DeFi space. With a 24-hour trading volume of $8,749,409 and a total value locked (TVL) of $11,198,846. Storm Trade aims to attract the next 10 million DeFi users by offering leverage trading up to 50x directly through the Telegram messaging app. In the coming months, Storm Trade is set to launch its native token, $STORM. Holders of the platform's Market Makers NFT will have the first opportunity to purchase the token at a fixed price. As Storm Trade prepares for this token launch, we had the chance to sit down with Denis Vasin, Co-Founder & Lead Dev of Storm Trade, to discuss the project's vision, the role of Telegram integration, and the challenges of operating in the rapidly evolving DeFi space. Can you tell us about the unique features of Storm Trade that set it apart from other derivatives trading platforms? In fact, Storm Trade is the first derivative DEX right on Telegram. By DEX I don't mean 2 buttons and a chart, I'm talking about a serious tool along with a mode for professional traders. Storm Trade is a social-fi solution that aims to make trading not only convenient but also not boring, adding advanced mechanics in the form of trading tournaments, squads, NFT collections, while adding professional tools in the form of cross-margin, copy-trading and much more. How does the direct integration with Telegram benefit users and contribute to the growth of Storm Trade? Telegram means almost limitless possibilities for all messenger users. This helps Storm Trade go down the path of social-fi trading by adding different competition mechanics based on Telegram channels and chats, increasing brand awareness in various Telegram app centres and reducing the execution time of trade ideas for traders with their own channels. In addition to 900m potential users, it is an opportunity to be embedded in advertising integrations with preset bidding parameters. Here's how it works. For example, the author of a Telegram channel assumes that the market will go up and opens a LONG position in BTC pair with a certain stop loss and take profit. Usually, in order for someone to repeat such an entry, they need to register on the exchange, deposit funds there, find the right pair, in general, do a lot of things. Deep integration of Storm Trade in Telegram implies that having created a position, the author of the channel will be able to share it with already set parameters in his/her Telegram channel. And those who want to repeat the same entry will only be able to follow the link and enter the amount of collateral they are ready to trade with. Storm Trade - a real breakthrough in futures trading technology. The $STORM token is launching soon. Can you share more details about the token's utility and how it fits into the Storm Trade ecosystem? Launching a token is one of the most important events for every product. It is often the case that the token exists separately from the product without making a significant contribution to the ecosystem. For STORM, this approach doesn't seem close. STORM is the heart of the ecosystem, integrated into the exchange directly, and helping to increase the efficiency of the protocol economy. STORM has two very powerful utilities: staking, whose profit is made up of the protocol's fees, and a liquidity buffer, which will maintain a good APR for liquidity providers. You mentioned that only a small percentage of the total token supply will be available for sale. Can you explain the reasoning behind this decision? There are several reasons for 4% allocation to IDO. Unlike memecoins, which traditionally allocate a large volume of token for sale, STORM attracts institutional funding and does not need overfunding from retail. How do the Market Makers NFTs play a role in the token launch, and what advantages do NFT holders have? First, you have to understand what Market Makers NFT is. Market Makers is a unique, hand-drawn NFT community collection designed to be embedded in the social-fi mechanics, rewarding the best traders and activists on the platform. Ownership of NFT will provide the owner with a guaranteed spot on the whitelist for token purchases, and in the future will add discounts on trading commissions, avatars for the user profile, and many other uses. Since all NFT holders have access to the whitelist at the same time, this will serve as a great opportunity to buy STORM tokens the very first at a fixed starting price. Each NFT will have a certain allocation to the purchase amount, and the more NFTs you have in your wallet, the higher the allocation to IDO will be. After IDO, collection opportunities will only increase from reduced trading fees to VIP community membership. As a derivatives trading platform, how does Storm Trade ensure the safety and security of users' assets? It is worth remembering that Storm Trade is a DEX, where all internal work is built on smart contracts. All smart contracts are audited by several trusted organisations. Since building smart contracts on TON is quite complex, it is not easy to find auditors. Our first audit is from the TON Tech campaign. Additional audits are planned for the future. Can you elaborate on the staking mechanism and how it rewards token holders who support the platform? The staking mechanism will be quite simple. The stakeholder will have two options: to put liquidity on the Ston.Fi and introduce tokens to the market, or lock tokens in staking on Storm Trade and withdraw tokens from the market. The mechanisms will balance each other, creating a deflationary token economy. Storm Trade has partnerships with notable organizations like Gotbit, Cointelegraph, and ToncoinFund. How do these partnerships contribute to the project's development and success? All of the above partnerships help us develop in one area or another. Cointelegraph is aimed at media support, while Gotbit and ToncoinFund provide us with investment and advisory support. What are the long-term goals for Storm Trade, and how do you envision the platform evolving in the future? Storm Trade's long-term goals are to build the most exciting platform in Telegram, bringing together both experienced traders and beginners, both those who came for the spirit of competition and those who came for passive earnings. Storm Trade aims to become the most balanced place for trading with easy onboarding and amazing Social-fi products.

Ethics Statement and References VI. CONCLUSION This work addressed text-centric recommender systems in data-poor situations, specifically for the demanding case of book reviewing communities where many users have only few items and exhibit diverse tastes, but post text-rich comments. We presented a Transformer-based framework called CUP, with novel techniques for constructing concise user profiles by selecting informative pieces of user-side text. To mitigate the absence of explicitly negative training points, we employed a technique of picking weighted negative samples from unlabeled data. Our experiments, with both standard evaluation and a search-based mode, show that leveraging user text is beneficial in this data-poor regime, and that our CUP methods clearly outperform state-of-the-art baselines like DeepCoNN, BENEFICT, P5, LLM-Rec and a method based on frozen BERT. Our main goal has been to shed light into the research questions posed in Section I-B). For RQ1, we devised various ways of leveraging LMs, and we compared to recent works on using LLM prompts for item ranking. We found that such an LLM-only approach is not viable, as it cannot cope with long-tail items. In contrast, using LLMs to generate concise user profiles, based on our CUP framework, is a competitive solution. However, they do not outperform the simpler CUP variants, like idf-based sentences, and the simpler methods are low-cost. For RQ2, we limited the number of input tokens for the Transformer to 128, creating a stress-test but also aiming to minimize the computational and energy cost at training time. Our experimental findings confirmed that this tight length for user profiles is indeed viable, yielding good NDCG@5 and P@1 results (relative to the difficulty of this data). For RQ3, we devised various techniques for selecting informative cues from user reviews. A key observation from the experiments is that a moderate degree of sophistication, like idf-selected sentences, is largely sufficient. Our default configuration CUPidf performs on par with more elaborated variants, such as leveraging SentenceBERT or having T5- generated keywords for concise profiles. Moreover, CUPidf mostly outperforms even the profiles that were generated by ChatGPT with the full review texts as input. This paper is available on arxiv under CC 4.0 license.

Yet Another Guide for Embarking on Your PM Journey

This disparity could stem from using an older, less advanced iteration of ChatGPT, specifically the GPT-3 model introduced by OpenAI in 2020 (Brown et al., 2020). Our research indicates that the current versions of ChatGPT, Bing Chat, Bard, and Claude can act as effective objects-to-think-with, as per Papert's concept (1980, p. 11), cultivating an engaging, interactive, and inclusive learning environment. These AI tools can support creativity, collaboration, exploration, critical thinking, and problem-solving, potentially deepening understanding of the subject matter. This relates to the comparison between ChatGPT, Bard, and Bing Chat in the study of Liu et al. (2023). The overall success of this educational journey, with GenAIbots serving as agents to think with, highlights a few effective teaching strategies that can facilitate a profound comprehension of the involved concepts. A significant part of the process involved positive reinforcement, as GenAIbots acknowledged students' observations as enjoyable, validating their experiences and stimulating their curiosity. Furthermore, following Gregorcic and Pendrill (2023), we adopted what could be seen as a Socratic-like dialogue strategy, prompting students to think critically and actively engage in their learning rather than merely providing them with answers. GenAIbots also capitalised on the student’s existing knowledge by inquiring about their understanding of topics like weight and gravity, thereby establishing a meaningful bridge between new and previously learned information. Building upon Bitzenbauer's preliminary study (2023) that highlighted the potential of expansive language model-based chatbots, including ChatGPT, to enrich learning experiences, and Adiguzel et al.'s (2023) assertion of ChatGPT's transformative potential in education via personalised instruction and real-time feedback, our research emphasises the benefits of AI integration in learning environments. AI-driven chatbots like ChatGPT, Bing Chat, Bard, Claude, and other generative models might serve as advanced agents for addressing challenging learning scenarios, expanding students' knowledge incrementally, and providing relevant explanations, examples, and analogies to support their learning. This study highlights the potential of AI-driven tools in promoting active learning, personalised instruction, and conceptual understanding in Chemistry. It underscores the value of AI in enhancing educational experiences, concluding that GenAIbots can serve as innovative platforms for exploring challenging educational scenarios. Nevertheless, our analysis reveals that ChatGPT and Claude consistently provided more comprehensive, detailed, and accurate answers than Bing Chat, which tended to give shorter and less informative responses. ChatGPT-4 was able to adapt responses to students' questions, address misconceptions, and offer customised explanations. ChatGPT was also more adept at addressing the nuances and subtleties of the questions, recognising the context, and engaging with the user's unique perspective or interpretation. On the other hand, Bing Chat often failed to address these nuances and provided less contextual information. Overall, ChatGPT and Claude demonstrated a superior understanding of the subject matter and a more remarkable ability to convey complex scientific concepts in an accessible manner. The study also highlighted the need for comprehensive educator training before integrating these tools into classrooms. Adequate training empowers teachers to guide students effectively in articulating their thoughts and constructing solid arguments. This preparation would allow educators to assess GenAIbots' performance when faced with compelling counterexamples, fostering productive discussions among colleagues. Finally, it is essential to mention that the results of this experience revealed significant variance in the performances of ChatGPT, Bing Chat, Bard, and Claude.

Authors: (1) Renato P. dos Santos, CIAGE – Centre for Generative Artificial Intelligence in Cognition and Education. Table of Links Abstract and Introduction Materials And Methods Results and Analyses Prompts and generated texts Conceptualizing chemical reactions Deepening on understanding of chemical reactions Question about combustion Question about a graph of gases turning into water over time Question about the difference between atoms, molecules, and moles Deepening on the concept of mole Question about changing of state Question about an animated representation of water molecules undergoing phase changes Question about plasma, a state of matter Question about chemical bondings Question about illustration of chemical bonds Question about the essence of the type of chemical bonding Further analysis Conclusions Limitations of the study and possible future studies Author Contributions, Conflicts of interest, Acknowledgements, and References Question about plasma, a state of matter *: my teacher said that plasma is the fourth state of matter. but isn't plasma that thing they inject into a vein in the hospital?* P1 *: Your teacher is correct, and I understand the confusion. The term "plasma" is used in both physics and medicine, but they refer to entirely different concepts. Let's break them down:* ChatGPT ***1. Plasma (State of Matter): *** • In physics, plasma is often referred to as the "fourth state of matter" after solids, liquids, and gases. • Plasma is like a gas but with some key differences. In plasma, a significant number of atoms are ionized, meaning they have lost or gained electrons. This gives plasma unique properties, like the ability to conduct electricity and respond strongly to electromagnetic fields. • Examples of plasmas include the sun, lightning, and neon signs. The sun is essentially a giant ball of plasma, with hydrogen atoms undergoing fusion to form helium, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the process. ***2. Plasma (Biological): *** • In a biological or medical context, plasma refers to the clear, yellowish fluid component of blood. It's what's left after you remove the red and white blood cells and platelets from blood. • Plasma makes up about 55% of total blood volume and contains water, salts, enzymes, hormones, and waste products. It serves as a transport medium for delivering nutrients to the cells and carrying waste products away. • When people donate "plasma" at a donation center, they're donating this component of their blood. So, while the terms are the same, the contexts are quite different. It's essential to know which "plasma" is being referred to based on the topic of discussion. Does this distinction between the two concepts of plasma clear things up for you? *: That’s a very good question. Plasma is indeed the fourth state of matter, but it is also a term used in medicine to describe the liquid part of blood. Let me explain the difference between these two types of plasma.* BingChat Plasma as a state of matter is a gas that has been heated or electrified to the point where some or all of its atoms lose their electrons. This creates a mixture of positively charged ions and negatively charged electrons that can conduct electricity and respond to magnetic fields. Plasma is very common in the universe, as it makes up most of the stars, including the sun. Plasma is also found in lightning, neon lights, and plasma displays[ ]. 123 Plasma as a part of blood is a yellowish fluid that carries water, salts, enzymes, proteins, hormones, and other substances throughout the body. It also helps with immunity, blood clotting, blood pressure, and pH balance. Plasma can be donated to help people who have lost blood due to injury, surgery, or disease. Plasma can also be used to make medicines for people who have certain conditions that affect their blood[ ] 456 So, as you can see, plasma can mean different things depending on the context. Both types of plasma are important for life and science, but they are not the same thing. I hope this helps you understand the difference between plasma as a state of matter and plasma as a part of blood. *: Yes, plasma is the fourth state of matter. It is a highly energized state of matter in which some or all of the atoms have been stripped of one or more of their electrons. This results in a gas of positively charged ions and negatively charged electrons.* Bard Plasma is the most abundant form of matter in the universe, accounting for over 99% of the visible universe. It is found in stars, nebulae, and other celestial objects. Plasma is also found on Earth, in lightning bolts, auroras, and other natural phenomena. Plasma is also used in a variety of industrial applications, such as welding, plasma cutting, and semiconductor manufacturing. The plasma that is injected into veins in the hospital is a type of blood plasma. Blood plasma is the liquid portion of blood that remains after the red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets have been removed. It is a yellowish liquid that contains proteins, antibodies, and other nutrients. Blood plasma is used to treat a variety of medical conditions, including dehydration, malnutrition, and shock. It is also used to make plasma products, such as albumin and immunoglobulin. So, to summarize, plasma is both the fourth state of matter and a type of blood plasma. The two are not related, but they both have important roles. I hope this helps to clarify things. Please let me know if you have any other questions. *: Great observation! Plasma does indeed have two different meanings in science:* Claude 1. In chemistry and physics, plasma is considered the fourth state of matter, distinct from solids, liquids and gases. Plasma consists of highly ionized gas containing a mix of free electrons, positive ions, and neutral atoms. It can be created by heating a gas to very high temperatures. Natural examples include lightning and the Sun. 2. In medicine, plasma refers to the liquid portion of blood that contains proteins, nutrients, and ions like sodium and chloride. This plasma carries blood cells and helps regulate bodily processes. It makes up about 55% of total blood volume. So in summary: • Scientific plasma is a distinct state of ionized gas, created at extremely high temps. • Medical plasma is the liquid part of blood that suspends blood cells and transports useful substances. While both are important in their respective fields, they have very different definitions and properties. The medical usage of the term is probably more familiar to most people. But the concept of plasma as a state of matter is critical in physics and chemistry when studying things like nuclear fusion reactions. Let me know if this explanation helps differentiate the two meanings! It's an important distinction to understand. ChatGPT starts reassuringly with “Your teacher is correct” and "I understand the confusion," providing . It then proceeds to , addressing the need to differentiate the two meanings systematically with "Let's break them down" and expounding extensively a clear distinction between plasma as the fourth state of matter and blood plasma in the medical context with , as well as with the , recurring to real-world examples to explain the concept, like the “sun, lightning, and neon signs” as well as of people donating “‘plasma’ at a donation center”. It ends the explanation with Engagement & Interactivity by asking "Does this distinction ... clear things up for you?", inviting a response. also starts by giving positive feedback and personal recognition of the user's query with “That’s a very good question," providing . It then proceeds to with "Let me explain the difference," setting the tone for a structured explanation with strategy that contextualizes the significance of both plasmas in the universe and medical science, the referencing the sun, “lightning, neon lights, and plasma displays”, and links to external resources, offering It ends with , emphasizing the significance of the dual meaning of the word, by affirming that "Both types of plasma are important for life and science" and “I hope this helps you understand the difference” followed by an emoticon for a friendly touch of Engagement & Interactivity. Bard begins its Instructional Strategies with the straightforward “Yes” affirmation followed by a detailed distinction of both concepts with Detail Depth & Content Recommendation, progressing from the Use of Analogy & Comparative Illustrations with examples of “lightning bolts, auroras, and other natural phenomena” to a discussing the broader applications “in a variety of industrial applications, such as welding, plasma cutting, and semiconductor manufacturing”, as well “to treat a variety of medical conditions, including dehydration, malnutrition, and shock” to make products, “such as albumin and immunoglobulin”. It ends with in "Please let me know if you have any other questions" and with "I hope this helps to clarify things." initiates its response with a straightforward affirmation, "Yes", demonstrating its Instructional Strategies. It then elaborates in depth about the concepts, highlighting Detail Depth & Content Recommendation. Utilizing the , it gives examples like “lightning bolts, auroras, and other natural phenomena”. Venturing into , it underlines the broader applications in sectors such as “welding, plasma cutting, and semiconductor manufacturing”, and the medical utility “to treat a variety of medical conditions, including dehydration, malnutrition, and shock” and the creation of products like “albumin and immunoglobulin”.
