Cryptocurrencies have uses beyond just currency.

It's actually more true for proof-of-work mining than it is for proof-of-stake. PoW mining has strong economies of scale, a professional miner with a warehouse full of mining rigs and a special deal with an industrial electricity supplier can churn out hashes more cheaply than a home miner can. Whereas the hardware needed for PoS is negligible so there's nowhere near that disparity between small and large miners.
Also, under Ethereum at least (the largest proof-of-stake chain and the one I'm most familiar with the workings of), stakers don't "dominate" the network. They have no decision-making power over what the consensus rules are. If the users decide to upgrade to a new version and the stakers refuse to go along with that or try to push an upgrade that the users don't want then those stakers lose their stake after the resulting fork.
Maybe they have holodecks.
Wouldn't be a very good Heaven if the toilets didn't work.
Bible promises the End of Days is soon, so we're probably safe on that front. Failing that, just make sure the AIs that wipe us out don't have souls. Or alternately that they have souls that can run efficiently and happily in a relatively small server farm, for efficient use of space.
Heck, upload humans into those servers too and that gives Heaven an enormous capacity.
I'd just mute his account. If I couldn't mute his account then I'm not really in Heaven.
If he could hurt other people then they wouldn't be in Heaven. Seems like the problem has been resolved, he's completely disarmed now.
According to the Bible, Heaven is a perfect cube 12,000 stadia on a side (approximately 1400 miles). Estimates of the total number of people who have ever lived that I've been able to dig up online are around 100 billion, but all of those estimates involve projecting populations back to 190,000 B.C.E. when in this scenario we know that the population started in 4,004 B.C.E. with exactly two. So 100 billion must be an overestimate, but thanks to the exponential nature of population growth it's probably not a drastic overestimate. Using that figure, each human can have a cubical volume 485 meters on a side. That's quite large, especially given that we're working with an overestimate. You could halve it to account for common social spaces and access corridors and utilities and whatnot and still have an enormous private area for each human.
Not offended. It's more fair than Hitler being in hell, frankly. Assuming a god that's remotely similar to anything humans have typically dreamed up, having an afterlife set up to give infinite torture is insane:
- It's impossibly disproportionate (any "sin" is finite).
- It's pointless for purposes of reform, it's just sheer bloody-minded vengeance.
- It's not even useful as a threat to scare mortals into line since mortals presumably can't take any measurements of the afterlife. Just lie about Hell existing if that's what it's for.
- It's being done to "punish" sins that these gods set us up for in the first place. They're responsible for creating us in a manner that's capable of sin and putting us in this universe that allows it.
So I'd be perfectly fine with finding Hitler in heaven. He's not able to hurt anyone any more, that's the important thing.
It hasn't been quantized, then. I've run 70B models on my consumer graphics card at a reasonably good tokens-per-second rate.
My understanding is that the bottleneck for the GPU is moving data into and out of it, not the processing of the data once it's in there. So if you can get the whole model crammed into VRAM it's still faster even if you have to do some extra work unpacking and repacking it during processing time.

Indeed. All "value" is ultimately something that is collectively decided upon by society. A chunk of rock could be worthless or worth billions depending on how much people want it.
