One hacker has managed to recover over $2,000,000 for a man who forgot the password to his crypto wallet by breaking into the physical device in a ‘high-stakes’ hacking attempt.

Even in its infancy cryptocurrency was worth a lot of money, and it’s surprisingly easy to lose it all with one simple mistake.

Horror stories of people accidentally throwing away hard drives with hundreds of millions of dollars worth of Bitcoin are more than enough to scare anyone away, and this particular video shows how close of a call it can be to recover otherwise simple information.

A team of engineers at AI inference technology company BitEnergy AI reports a method to reduce the energy needs of AI applications by 95%. The group has published a paper describing their new technique on the arXiv preprint server.

As AI applications have gone mainstream, their use has risen dramatically, leading to a notable rise in energy needs and costs. LLMs such as ChatGPT require a lot of computing power, which in turn means a lot of electricity is needed to run them.

As just one example, ChatGPT now requires roughly 564 MWh daily, or enough to power 18,000 American homes. As the science continues to advance and such apps become more popular, critics have suggested that AI applications might be using around 100 TWh annually in just a few years, on par with Bitcoin mining operations.

A blockchain entrepreneur, a cinematographer, a polar adventurer and a robotics researcher plan to fly around Earth’s poles aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule by end of year, becoming the first humans to observe the ice caps and extreme polar environments from orbit, SpaceX announced Monday.

The historic flight, launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, will be commanded by Chun Wang, a wealthy bitcoin pioneer who founded f2pool and stakefish, “which are among the largest Bitcoin mining pools and Ethereum staking providers,” the crew’s website says.

“Wang aims to use the mission to highlight the crew’s explorational spirit, bring a sense of wonder and curiosity to the larger public and highlight how technology can help push the boundaries of exploration of Earth and through the mission’s research,” SpaceX said on its web site.
