In brief Numerous blockchain games have shut down this year, including some that previously had a lot of buzz. Some experts believe that blockchain games fail on a more public stage than traditional games. Others say that gaming tokens apply immense pressure on creators, taking focus away from development. Crypto gaming has seen a troubling trend of projects shutting down or being abandoned after years of hype, token sales, and chaos. Experts say it isn’t much of a surprise considering how challenging game development is, and pointed to gaming tokens as a flawed system that applies too much pressure to…

Imagine slashing shipping costs by 30% while speeding up deliveries, and watching 4-star reviews roll in. That is the power of Magento 2 shipping automation.

Without proper high-quality data, you will struggle to create a high-quality machine learning model. This infographic summarizes the article. I start by explaining my motivation for this article and defining data cleaning as a task. I then continue discussing three different data cleaning techniques, and some notes to keep in mind when performing data cleaning. Image by ChatGPT. In this…

Welcome to the Weekender, where we trade balance sheets for belly laughs and let our hair down — figuratively, of course — on the wild frontier of AI in finance.

couple of years, experts have been locked in a debate about AI’s impact on jobs. Will it create them or destroy them? Will jobs be human-led or AI-led? This binary discussion, as research is revealing, is not asking the right questions. Two large-scale studies, Stanford’s “WORKBank” (1,500 workers, 844 tasks) and Anthropic’s “Claude Economic Index” (4.1 million chats, 19,000 tasks), show that AI is reshaping work task-by-task, not role-by-role. Fewer than 4% of occupations are close to full automation, yet employees themselves want 46% of individual tasks automated, chiefly repeatable finance, reporting, and data-entry work. Most knowledge workers prefer “equal-partner”…
