Decrypting Tech Hype for the Busy Coder
summary
Covers concrete claims and demos: public blockchains run ~7 tps for Bitcoin (≈10 minutes confirmations) and ~15 tps for Ethereum (≈15s), private options like Hyperledger Fabric and R3 Corda trade throughput and privacy; a working blockchain beer demo on Oracle Intelligent Track and Trace exposes supplier QR data and worked at the conference. Shows crypto mining peaking at household-scale power (comparable to Czech Republic). Examines chatbots and voice agents including Pepper dancing, serverless platforms (AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions, Fn/OpenWhisk/OpenFaaS) and gateway/transaction pricing, CI/CD plus Ansible/Terraform/Puppet, and ML stacks (TensorFlow, MXNet, Torch) with AlphaStar as a milestone.
