Developers continue to have fun with a digital brain of a fly. This time, they put the fly to play Deadlock.
A model with 166 thousand neurons was trained on recordings of other players’ matches. A computer vision system helps it understand what’s happening on the screen, and a separate algorithm is responsible for aiming.
The fly runs around the map, takes part in fights, and plays best as Graves. According to the author, it even performs better than his teammates.
The August rise in the core CPI by 0.3% m/m practically guarantees an FOMC rate hike of 25 bps already this week — the market estimates the probability at almost 90%.
However, this is unlikely to be the start of a prolonged tightening cycle. It’s more likely the regulator’s final “catch-up” move: the US economy already shows signs of cooling, and the Fed won’t risk a deep recession.
Market reaction to a rate increase:
BTC (Bearish factor): Rising government bond yields and a stronger dollar will reduce risk appetite, leading to a short-term pullback and volatility.
Tech stocks (Bearish factor): The sector is extremely sensitive to the cost of credit — increasing rates pressure will directly weigh on the valuations of IT giants.
Gold (Neutral-bearish factor): A strong dollar will restrain growth, but the metal’s safe-haven status will prevent a sharp drop.
Trading plan:
I’m locking in part of the BTC longs and placing limit orders to buy below the current support levels. In tech stocks and gold, I maintain a wait-and-see position until the Fed press conference is over.
People are simply thrilled by the “transparent” iPhone Duo screen. The engineers pulled off this effect so coolly that you want to open and close the phone nonstop.
It looks like Apple made the most expensive anti-stress device
A female developer created an app for video calls that recognizes facial expressions and gestures and automatically overlays the corresponding meme reaction over the user’s head. You can also add your own memes. Works on Zoom, Meet, Teams, and Discord.
Hunter Biden, in his Twitter, commented on the notable “rugging” of his LAPTOP token:
As you may have noticed, during the first hours of trading the price of the LAPTOP meme coin token fluctuated sharply. The token price fell by 99%. “Rug pull.” “The criminal Biden family.” This is far from the truth.
In reality, the available liquidity couldn’t withstand the high level of interest at launch. Technical issues combined with predatory “snipers” who are trying to get ahead of liquidity providers on the market caused a price spike, which has since stabilized at a healthy level.
The team’s allocation is locked. No one from our side sold, and they couldn’t have.
The token’s valuation with full dilution exceeds $1 billion. And we are actively working on the best solutions to optimize liquidity and further engage with my community...
Also, some on-chain detectives have already spotted wallets that most likely belong to the team, and that received tokens even before the launch. Based on the transactions from these wallets, Hunter Biden and his team made $4M in confirmed proceeds from this launch, and overall the total amount is about $5–10M.
