The CPU is not the most used vector, the firmware is.
"I have no faith that we are close to useful humanoids." I agree completely. We still have competitions about having robots walk up stairs and open doors, and balance while doing those things...
What would be the top uses of humanoid robots?
but personally, I would welcome our cyper-coon overlords.
I see... tech giants and R & D at the top of the pyramid, and I have seen Gumee, the fab that started all this Korean ram prodution.
Two years later, comes a challenge in class... make a formula for summing the integers... well everyone started with 1+2+... I starred with blocks, 1+n, 2+n-1... I had the complete formula in minutes...
That was the very last class for which I was with my peers of that grade... I was put in a HP High Potential class, with a high school algebra book, and although was a bit lonely, was in my element.
The point is- the recognition of the problem, can save huge amounts of time, where as AI can only brute force it, or use a pretrained solution.
I would safely assume that there are no limitations of what mathematicians can do, with one important exception: Andrew, for whom I argued about the mis-uses of Infinity. Andrew is, well, rather famous.
as well, as Wide SCSI, so all your 50 pin stuff needed to get upgraded to 68pin...
Bernoulli... ultra reliable. Zip? Clock was ticking on the click of death. Bernoullis were not the fastest, but they were the quietest and most reliable.
Since it had no hard disk, and no monitor, it was quiet, and used little power.

"The execp package (version 0.0.1) is an infamous, malicious dependency frequently used in recent supply-chain attacks and job interview scams. Threat actors embed this 9-year-old package into seemingly innocent "technical assessments" or projects. When you run npm install, it quietly executes arbitrary shell commands in the background to compromise your machine."
Also reminds me to update my fake CV.

A “recruiter” (sometimes pretending to be a CEO/HR) contacts you. The job looks amazing — above-market salary, remote position, paid in USD, etc. They ask for your CV and GitHub. They say you’re “approved for the next stage” without any real interview. Before the call, they send you a codebase to review or modify as a “technical test.”
When I get one of these, I automatically spin up a cloned VM, and test it there, which for the most part it gets infected immediately. as I watch the VM connect to odd places ( C&C computers ) for which I add any names/IP addresses to my host file, and then spin up another cloned VM, with the adjustments to the hosts file, and watch the malware get all lonely... but once, it was able to escape the VM... so I had to scramble to disinfect both the RM and the VM, and then update, and look around for hardening tools.
Its satisfying to delete an infected VM, with a "Not this time Jack."
In the first edition, he was depicted as a large creature, and Tolkien was upset about it, and in the second edition, changed the description to small.
This information was gathered by a rare book seller who's videos I find immensely interesting.
