This might be a good idea for marriages, too.

are there any consequences to eMudhra?

cash is a more reliable redundancy.

We've been waiting for you to solve it. We know you, and only you, have the solution.

Golf in the Gulf. Must happen sometimes.

This. If the LLM has access to the outside world through its harness, then it can do real damage - data exfiltration, etc.

I gave Open 5.5 high your hint. This was the most interesting output:

'Side curiosity: many of the SECG/X9.62 seeds contain the ASCII text 4D696E6768756151 75 = "MinghuaQu" (a Certicom researcher), sometimes shifted by half a byte.'

I don't see any mention of that in the article.

You can buy gun parts on ebay in the US. Here's one example, a trigger for a 9mm Browning Hi-Power:

> a finite number of neurons in a finite number of configurations

Neurons and synapses change, especially synapses (the connections between neurons). Some neurons have a few connections to other neurons. Others have hundreds of thousands of connections to other neurons. These grow and change. "Estimates are between 100 trillion and 1,000 trillion neural connections" Is it finite? Depends on your definition of finite. If anything countable is finite, then it is finite but the number may be practically uncountable. Is it fixed? No.

> don't know about immortality, but I'd definitely like more than 80 years

You’re changing the subject; this is about immortality. I’d also like to live more than 80 years, and no book can convince me otherwise. But forever? No thanks.

Yes, you used your imagination. But only 45/12 =3.75 times. That puts our projectiok at approximately 100*3.75=375 years. That’s quite different than living several million years or indefinitely.

> if there exist a scientific principle which would prevent modulating them successfully, you didn't name it.

Why does such a “ scientific principle “ need to exist? So that you could finally point to a clear reason that it’s impossible?

Did Newton’s laws of motion exist before they were described by Newton?

Thank you for the very clear example.

I have an oven, washer/dryer, garage door opener, and lights that all want internet access. They don’t get it.

Everything we have witnessed that arises also passes away. Every living thing, every dead thing - even stars and planets - arise and pass away.

I feel it’s the ultimate hubris to think we can cheat death.

Moreover, why would you want immortality?

Many books of fiction and poetry discuss the curse of immortality.

Here are a few:

The Immortal, Jorge Luis Borges (1947)

A man discovers a source of immortality, but eternity eventually destroys the significance of individual experiences. When everything can happen infinitely, nothing feels particularly important.

The Mortal Immortal — Mary Shelley (1833) - also wrote Frankenstein

A man drinks an elixir and lives for centuries without substantially aging. He watches his wife grow old and die, and becomes increasingly alienated from humanity. Shelley focuses on loneliness and the psychological weight of endless time.

All Men Are Mortal — Simone de Beauvoir (1946)

An immortal man lives through centuries of history, relationships, and political upheaval. Gradually he discovers that even extraordinary achievements seem meaningless when time is unlimited.

The Makropulos Affair — Karel Čapek (1922)

A woman lives more than 300 years through an elixir. She retains her youth but becomes emotionally exhausted, cynical, and incapable of finding pleasure.

There are more. Sure, these are fiction. But use your imagination. Why would you want immortality, even if you could retain perfect health indefinitely?

I’m always fascinated by people who think death can be “stopped” (not postponed, but eliminated). Fascinating.

AI training?

Not OP.

Why would it be millions in 50 years?

The think about nuclear weapons. In the early days, it was limited to the super powers. Now 9 countries have them and a country like Iran is capable of acquiring them.

Is destructive AI be any different?

Genuine question.

I can’t answer all of your questions, but why is it inconceivable that an AI could practice ransomware to gain cryptocurrency? There’s no reason it needs to explain to company or hospital or government agency being attacked that it’s an AI.

We already know that some institutions pay these ransoms.

Because telnet was not originally shell access over the network. It was a serial connection.

56k modems didn’t always negotiate to the full 56k. The handshaking allowed connections at much slower speeds. It depended on the quality of the line. This is the US - we didn’t have ISDN, at least no one I knew had it in 1996.

Some do pay that kind of money. You just don’t hear about those, and there’s certainly no blog posts about them.

ssh? Don’t you mean telnet?

Thank you. I did not know we could do that. Now I understand how Kevin Flynn (TRON) felt.

HuggingFace can’t file criminal charges, including under the Criminal Fraud & Abuse Act. Only district attorneys can do that- or the federal equivalent.

My electric panel is full. If I want to add an EV charger to my garage, I first have to replace the electric panel with a larger one. That’s minimum $5000 before I even get to the EV charger.

That’s what the GitHub page says, too. Lookup tables for multiplication and division, too.

Or checks?
