I recently came across platforms like Lingo (on Base and Solana) and PoolTogether (on Ethereum) that offer stake-to-win models, where you get raffle tickets or entries for real-world prizes or prize pools by locking tokens. The concept is interesting, but I’m curious about the mechanics behind these raffles.

Since they’re blockchain-based, I assume the draws are on-chain and verifiable, but how can users be sure the systems are truly fair and not manipulated? Are there audits or cryptographic proofs of fairness? How do these platforms prevent foul play or cheating?

Has anyone here dug into how these prize raffles actually work under the hood or tried these platforms? Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences!

I am considering doing RL as a service for companies looking to finetune LLMs, and I have doubts. It is a lot more compute-intensive. it promises data efficiency, but training is more unstable, it is less straightforward to debug, and there are so many moving parts in infra and environment setup that make reproducibility very difficult unless you just have the compute to scale. was wondering how far RL for agents is from adoption? are there people experimenting with this in your work/training custom reasoning models? is it worth it?

I’m interested to hear from people who have been on solo roadtrips in Europe. I’m planning on visiting France, Spain and Portugal in September. I’d like to visit some cities (alongside some car camping and outdoors activities) but I’m concerned about parking somewhere safe in big cities.

I don’t want to avoid the big cities for obvious reasons, I want to explore and meet new people. But as freeing as having a car will be, in this regard it feels quite limiting – as I’m always going to be concerned about the safety of my car!

The advice online suggests that you should make sure that there are no valuables in your car at all, but that’s just not possible for me. Of course I will carry with me whatever I can in my day bag but I am also bringing a surfboard, a tent, and other large expensive items that might attract attention. I’ve got covers for all my windows (I’m driving an SUV btw), but someone suggested to me that it might attract even more attention that way lol.

My current thoughts are that I’ll rely heavily on park4night for stealth car-camping spots, with public transport connections to the city centre. I’d like to meet people at hostels but it seems that hostels are not geared for people on a roadtrip and usually don’t have parking. I’d be hesitant to park somewhere and then spend the night in a hostel somewhere different, I don’t think I’d sleep very well, if I have the option to spend the night stealth camping in my car that is probably the smarter decision. Some friends have said I can still meet people at hostels as the bars are open to the public – I’ll give this a try.

Probably just going to have to be brave and figure it out as I go along, but if anyone reading this has any similar experiences I’d be really interested to hear your thoughts! Or if you have any recommendations for a more appropriate subreddit for this post, I’m also all ears.

# A Korean study found that the oral bacterium Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) worsens the prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC). The study is significant as it is the first to identify the impact of Fn on B cell maturation in colon tissue using single-cell genomic bioinformatics analysis.

not sure what the spikeyness is caused from… was thinking weekends maybe?

For those with expertise in Bing, do you have any advice on how to further increase the visibility of our blog? Also, we want to avoid making the same mistake we did with Google — relying too heavily on a single search engine. Our goal is to diversify our traffic sources.
We’ve already tried Pinterest using infographics from our tech guides, but unfortunately, it hasn’t performed well. We also have Facebook pages, X (Twitter), Bluesky, and we even tried truth social — haha — but the results have been very limited.

Hi all

Iv been developing my own stratergy and completed (they are never complete right?) my engine and deployment system.

My strategy shows good promise but is fully technical (loosely based around opening range, RVOL and technical sentiment / daily bias)

I’m looking to throw market sentiment into the mix and see if I can add to my directional bias to sharpen confluence.

I’m potentially looking to gather news scoring on ticker level and looking to create a weighted moving average to sentiment score, short term due to ORB frequency, perhaps 7 days weighted.

Can anyone recommend if this is a good / typical approach?

Can anyone recommend and data sources? I’m looking at market aux at the moment, any good?

Ideally it would be nice to get some free data for a couple of years, a couple of tickers so I can prove concept before paying for data, delay is fine as it’s only for back testing – if anyone has this data to hand for a ticker or 2 I would appreciate a share just for testing (not being tight, I just dont want to pay for a sub for a conceptual idea)

Longer term, my system uses around 15 tickers but I have collected detailed spread and 8 years of 1m data for around 50 tickers so if it shows promise I would like to interfere on all of the tickers for testing.

Thanks.
