Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and other crypto executives took to Capitol Hill this week as part of a regulatory showdown between the industry and banks with potentially trillions at stake. Banking advocacy groups are urging lawmakers to prohibit crypto exchanges like Coinbase from offering customers rewards that are structured like interest payments banks offer. "I'm not sure why the banks would want to bring that up again at this point, but they should have to compete on a level playing field

On July 18, after more than a decade of legal uncertainty, US lawmakers finally brought part of the crypto industry into the regulatory fold. The newly signed Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act requires issuers of stablecoins—cryptocurrencies that claim a value tied to a more stable asset—to fully back their tokens with cash or short-term Treasury bonds, submit to audits, and follow anti-money laundering rules, among other conditions.

“I was talking with my colleagues at a conference 10 years ago and I just casually said that everyone loves music,” recalls Josep Marco Pallarés, a neuroscientist at the University of Barcelona. But it was a statement he started to question almost immediately, given there were clinical cases in psychiatry where patients reported deriving absolutely no pleasure from listening to any kind of tunes. So, Pallarés and his team spent the past 10 years researching the neural mechanisms behind a condit

Understanding Moravec's Paradox

Understanding Moravec's Paradox Morevec's paradox is a little weird in a few ways. First it's not a paradox, and second it's widely miss-interpreted. At its core, Moravec's paradox is the observation that reasoning takes much less computation compared to sensorimotor and perception tasks. It's often (incorrectly) described as tasks that are easy for humans are difficult for machines and visa versa. The answer from the human's side is relatively simple to explain. As hypothesised by Morvec, hum

We’ve run into this problem at our startup, Levro. We want to be the easies
