US President Biden said on Thursday that he hopes President Trump, who was elected, will reconsider his plan to impose tariffs on Mexico and Canada, saying it could "mess up" relations with close allies. "I hope he reconsiders. I think doing so would backfire," he said in Santa Fe. "Our situation in the United States is unusual. We are surrounded by the Pacific, the Atlantic, and two allied countries: Mexico and Canada. The last thing we need to do is start damaging these relationships."

On May 11th, Jinshi Data reported that on May 10th local time, the Ecuadorian Constitutional Court ruled that the executive order signed by President Novoa on April 30th, declaring a new state of emergency in five provinces, was unconstitutional due to lack of factual, necessary, and applicable grounds. The ruling pointed out that Novoa did not provide factual elements in the decree and failed to prove the reasonableness of declaring a new state of emergency. On April 30th local time, President Novoa of Ecuador signed an executive order declaring a state of emergency in five provinces: El Oro, Guayas, Los Rios, Manabi, and Santa Elena, for a period of 60 days.

On May 2, Michael Rosen, chief investment officer of Los Angeles Investment Advisors in Santa Monica, California, said that the Fed's aggressive measures in slowing down the pace of balance sheet reduction were somewhat surprising. This is a modest favourable information for the bond market, as it means that the Fed will allow less supply of bonds to hit the market from its balance sheet. But the complete lack of fiscal discipline means that the Treasury will have to issuance trillions of dollars in bonds this year, which in turn will limit bond yields. With the Fed holding back and the yield curve still inverted, we still hold short-term Treasuries and are happy to get higher yields at the short-end of the yield curve (usually the Treasury Intrerest rate within two years).

Bitcoin early investor Roger Ver has been charged by the Department of Justice with mail fraud, tax evasion and filing false tax returns. Roger Ver was arrested in Spain this week on U.S. criminal charges. The United States will seek the extradition of Roger Ver to the United States to face trial. It is reported that Roger Ver originally lived in Santa Clara, California, and owned two companies, MemoryDealers.com Inc. and Agilestar.com Inc., which sell computer and network equipment. Beginning in 2011, Roger Ver began buying Bitcoin for himself and his company, and his personal passion for promoting Bitcoin earned him the nickname "Bitcoin Jesus." Roger Ver renounced his U.S. citizenship on February 4, 2014, and after moving abroad, U.S. law required Roger Ver to file tax returns reporting capital gains from the sale of its assets worldwide, including Bitcoin, and was required to pay taxes on those capital gains. In total, the Department of Justice believes that Roger Ver caused at least $48 million in damages to the IRS.

A freight train carrying fuel derailed and caught fire near the border of Arizona and New Mexico on April 27, according to Jin10 Data. The incident led to the closure of a nearby interstate highway. There have been no reports of casualties. The freight train belongs to the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company. It is said to be carrying propane and gasoline. Ten train cars derailed, with six of them catching fire and burning for several hours. A spokesperson for the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company stated that company personnel are on site cleaning up the wreckage, and the cause of the derailment is under investigation.

Crypto Assets analysts predict: XRP price will hit $1.33 "soon" and Bitcoin will have a "Christmas Rebound"? In a video posted on his YouTube channel, Davinci Jeremie mentioned that there will be another rise in XRP, which will take it "up to $1.33 very soon." Once that happens, he expects the Token to fall back to $1 and consolidate there for a while. Interestingly, Jeremy suggested that this pump would be rigged. Because the price action of XRP has been tepid for some time, and many continue to say that the price of XRP is suppressed. The Crypto Assets analyst further stated that this price manipulation happens "every time." He mentioned that XRP prices always rise suddenly, and there is no logical explanation for this increase. At the same time, Jeremie also highlighted the bullish fundamentals of the XRP price. This includes significant victories for Ripple in the regulatory environment, such as against the SEC (SEC). Ripple also received major approvals in Singapore and Dubai this year. Jeremie also commented on Bitcoin and its future trajectory. Analyzing the chart, he said that if Bitcoin stays above the $43,700 support level, he expects Bitcoin to reach $47,000, but this has not materialized so far, given that Bitcoin is currently trading below that price level. The Crypto Assets analyst also looked at the Ethereum chart and mentioned that it is not bullish as it failed to stay above the support level he considers bullish. He further questioned the possibility of Ethereum dragging down Bitcoin. However, considering that Bitcoin is primarily ahead of AltCoin, and not the other way around, many will feel confident that this will not happen. Meanwhile, Jeremy predicts a "Santa Rebound" in Bitcoin before things may cool down. Historically, Bitcoin has seen some upticks between Christmas and New Year. It remains to be seen what impact the potential approval of the SpotBitcoin ETF in January might have on the price of Bitcoin. Some predict that once this happens, the price of Bitcoin could fall, while others predict that this will further trigger a spike in the price of crypto Tokens. Analyst Matrixport specifically stated that with this development, Bitcoin will rise to $50,000. (Source: Scott Matherson)

According to a report by Webmaster's House on November 21, research by the Santa Fe Institute in the United States showed that GPT-4 has an accuracy rate of only 33% on graphical inference tasks, while the multimodal version of GPT-4v performs even worse at only 25%. Using the ConceptARC dataset, the authors tested 451 human subjects on a graphical reasoning task, and the results showed that the average human accuracy rate was 91%, much higher than GPT-4. However, questions have been raised about the way researchers recruited subjects and the way GPT-4 was inputted, including that the entry test was not enough to screen high-quality subjects, that the randomness of the sample was controversial, and that the conversion of images into a numeric matrix could change concepts.

Scientists from Monash University in Australia and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation of Australia have created the most efficient quantum-secure encryption algorithm to date, "LaV", which uses end-to-end encryption to defend against powerful attacks by quantum computers, so it is expected to strengthen the security of systems such as online transactions, instant messaging services, data privacy, cryptocurrencies and blockchains. The paper was presented at the 43rd International Conference on Cryptography in Santa Barbara, USA.

According to a recent report released by Matrixport, in the first half of 2024, some key events may affect the trajectory of Bitcoin, including the possible approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs by the SEC, Circle's consideration of listing, and FTX's attempt to restart. These events, along with the Bitcoin halving cycle and Ethereum's Q1 2024 upgrade, set an optimistic tone for the market. The Federal Reserve is likely to cut interest rates in mid-2024, which is in line with market expectations. Bitcoin may rebound on US CPI data, aiming to break through the $40,000 mark and reach $45,000 by the end of the year. Solid U.S. buyer activity and the possibility of a Christmas rally (Santa Claus Rally) also contribute to the bullish outlook.

Investigator Jameson Lopp, who collected archived emails and other data from '09 and '10, noted that the first BTC recipient, Hal Finney, would not be Satoshi Nakamoto. Lopp noted that Finney competed in the Santa Barbara Run, starting at 8 a.m. Pacific Time and finishing 78 minutes later. However, the contest was underway while Satoshi and Mike Hearn, one of the first Bitcoin developers, were exchanging emails. （Cointelegraph）

According to IT House's report on October 6, according to foreign media Engadget, Wired and other reports, a research team at the University of Maryland in the United States studied the reliability of the "digital watermark" technology of AI-generated content and found that this technology can be easily cracked. Soheil Feizi, a professor of computer science at the school, was blunt when faced with the current status of watermarks in AI-generated images: "Currently we do not have any reliable watermark technology. We have cracked all watermarks." During the test, the researchers could easily avoid existing watermarks. watermarking method and found it easier to add "fake watermarks" on non-AI generated images. At the same time, the team has also developed a watermark technology that is "almost impossible" to remove from images without completely compromising the image's intellectual property. In a similar study by the University of California, Santa Barbara and Carnegie Mellon University, researchers found that watermarks on AI-generated images can be easily removed through "simulation attacks": by destructively adjusting brightness and contrast. Either compress or even rotate the image to remove it, or remove it through techniques such as constructive Gaussian blur.
