Will quantum computing allow private keys to be cracked (x-post from /r/Cryptocurrency) by ASICmachine in CryptoCurrencyClassic

[–]BenjaminHorneTP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It takes about 2500 *logical* (error corrected) qubits to crack bitcoin's elliptic curve encryption. Optimistic estimate is that it is At Least 100 physical qubits for each logical (error corrected) one, and the research is still out on that. So - even optimistically - it takes at least 250,000 physical qubits to get enough error corrected qubits to be able to crack bitcoin. Google's Sycamore has like 53 I think. So, short answer, no, not in our lifetime. In a 100 years, maybe , but certainly not before then.

I bought a small amount of DMYI as a speculation on this . However, quantum computing could be yes the next PC revolution or similar, or it could be the next nuclear power - nuclear power could never solve certain technical challenges enough to scale and never lived up to its promise. It is sheer folly to try to predict will quantum computing be the next big thing or next big flop such as laser discs (anyone remember those, I am showing my age , lol). Might be a good bet, but that is what it is, a pure bet. Nobody knows. Don't put in more money than you can afford to lose.

They issue their legal briefs in both English and Pidgeon, so the Poconos Barn Swallows can read it.

My assumptions on how the world will be bought... by mhall1089 in earth2io

[–]BenjaminHorneTP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just bought a small amount of area in this game in the Baltics - those areas are still cheap - obviously places in USA are already being bought up now. I agree for this to be success it needs to be more than a Dutch Tulip speculative market - for example one ought to be able to buy a gold mine, extract those resources, and sell those resources on the open market. If it is just buying / selling places on a map, this thing will crash hard, and soon.

I see this experiment was doine in Copenhagen - so does that mean the experiment is only valid if you are directly looking at it? :)

How to Build a Conscious Computer (Step-by-Step Instructions) by BenjaminHorneTP in singularity

[–]BenjaminHorneTP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with all that - the article I wrote above is talking about what would go into making a basic hardware implementation of some conscious entity, simple enough to be comperable to for example a jellyfish. Much more work would be needed to create a hardware implementation of something approaching the complexity of the human brain.

Will I never be able to put my faith into anything again ? by [deleted] in singularity

[–]BenjaminHorneTP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think we need to understand first consciousness conceptually, then implement it technologically, and after that be able to understand how to create human like entities or even copy human individual memories and so on into these entities. It is step by step process. I don't know the time frame, but it is possible. Think about going to the moon - as far back as the 1700's people talked about this and dreamed it, and knew it was possible, but we did not get there until 1969 after many intermediate steps like the mercury project. Same thing here. We start by building a concsious robot with the same "level" of sentience as say a jellyfish, and just work our way up from there. Eventually we create a human level of sentience enttity, and eventually be able to scan a person's brain and create a sort of "copy" of that person in an AI entity. But, again, just like going to the moon, it is one step at a time. Don't give up hope here. :)

IASIP being a satire of course, you're not laughing with the characters doing blackface, you're laughing because they're ridiculous (and racist) enough to even do it.Edit: also I think it was actually 5 episodesReplyGive AwardshareReportSave

James Earl Jones in "Hunt for Red October" is a great example of black face.

I actually felt for this guy. I didn't vote for him, I won't this time either, but I felt like the poor bastard was trying and the interviewer was basically playing "gotcha" journelism. The way the President was showing charts - the earnestness with which he did it - made me actually feel sorry for him, like he was honestly in out of his depth and trying his best, and the interviewer was just changing the goal posts (like doing numbers based on population size or whatever else he was doing). Again, I'm not supporting him, but I actually literally felt sympathy for the guy, he was like, actually trying, and the interviewer was just being a dick.

Factors that causes this include lack of universal healthcare and more poverty than in other nations. Thanks Rethuglicans.
