Dear Sree ,
Many thanks for
visiting with Naveen and GJ
I just found this
Tariff Chart for RecruitGuru.com

Hi Friends,
Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"
With regards,
Hemen Parekh

Now as I approach my 90th birthday ( 27 June 2023 ) , I invite you to visit my Digital Avatar ( www.hemenparekh.ai ) – and continue chatting with me , even when I am no more here physically

PRIVACY : A Lost Battle
Fighting
a losing Battle
?
Following news appeared in
DNA ( 15 Jan ) :
“ Govt asks staff of intel agencies, defence
units to ditch Ola , Uber “
To stave off any kind of sabotage from forces inimical to the
country, the government has asked the officials of intelligence agencies and
defence establishments not
to use share or pool facilities of online cab aggregators such as OLA and Uber.
The precautionary
measure has been taken to
keep the identity of officials and their destination secret so that the
information that may be revealed to co-passengers or driver cannot be used to
target them or specific locations or dignitaries.
According to
sources, the instruction has been issued for officials staying or working at or inside sensitive
locations and defence establishments across the country.
In Delhi, specific instructions have been issued against hiring
share or pool taxis to reach sensitive locations such as north and south bloc,
Rashtrapati Bhawan, key places in Lutyens’ zone and Delhi Cantonment. They have
also been directed to avoid commuting by online or mobile app-based cab aggregators.
WHAT NEXT ?
Next expect the government to ask its
officers not to use in their homes , internet enabled devices ( including Smart phones ) , embedded
with AI software such as :
# Cortana ( Microsoft )
# Bixie (
Samsung )
# Assistant ( Google )
# Siri (
Apple )
# Alexa ( Amazon )
=================================
WHY ?
These devices learn a lot about ,
·
WHO you are ,
·
WHERE you live / work ,
·
WHAT you like / wear ,
·
HOW
you dress ,
·
WHERE you
take your family for holidays / eat out ,
·
WHO
is your boss / are your friends,
·
WHERE
you buy and WHAT ,
·
WHERE you studied and WHAT did you study ,
·
WHICH is your bank / WHAT is your bank account ,
·
WHAT
is your current salary ,
·
HOW
much tax you paid last year ,
·
WHAT
properties you own and WHERE ( and , at WHAT price purchased / WHEN )
================================
HOW ?
·
Through the day , you “ order “ these devices to “
carry out “ your commands or ask them all kinds of questions ( replacement
for Google searches )
These devices are transmitting all of these voice-interactions to CLOUD servers of
those companies, to find right
/ wrong answers or just regret and suggest that you subscribe to their , some or other “
paid service “ !
When 100
million device-owners ask 20 questions ( or commands ) daily , the CLOUD
compiles 2,000 million
“ questions / commands “ , processes these data using AI / Machine
Learning , and “ learns
“ a lot about you !
Their premise is simple :
The more info you “ reveal “ about yourself , the better
the service that you get !
And , before long , you
may not even need to “ ASK “ anything by speaking out
These devices
will just “ READ “
your unspoken thoughts !
============================
I am tempted to believe that such a
scenario is entirely possible !
Those who have any doubt might want
to look up ( on BBC web site )
, last week’s episode of CLICK ,
where a software geek gave a demo of a computer , embedded with an improvised
ALEXA ( with speech
capability )
A person from the audience was
invited on the stage / given a stack of playing cards / asked to pick one
at RANDOM (
without showing it to either the anchor or the audience ) and requested to
just THINK about that card ( -
not think aloud ! )
That person did NOT wear any headset , nor was he, in any way
connected to ALEXA by wires or wirelessly –
which was some 15 feet away from him !
Then he asked ALEXA to tell everybody
, what card he was “ thinking about “
ALEXA accurately determined and
announced a playing card held by that person !
=================================
Those who have doubts , may want to look up :
Face-reading AI will be able to detect your politics and IQ, professor says
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/sep/12/artificial-intelligence-face-recognition-michal-kosinski
And this will happen whether UIDAI introduces " Face Recognition " or not , since everyone with a smart phone takes a selfie (-including all those " Aadhar Opponents " and the Supreme Court Judges ? )
And this will happen whether UIDAI introduces " Face Recognition " or not , since everyone with a smart phone takes a selfie (-including all those " Aadhar Opponents " and the Supreme Court Judges ? )
==============================
Tomorrow, when Supreme Court starts final hearing about Aadhar Vs Privacy , will
some lawyer “ educate
“ the Hon Judges with what to expect next
?

Black Money : Solution at last
Are
We There Yet ?
Some two years back I suggested that our high denomination ( Rs 500 / Rs 2000 )
currency notes should be embedded with RFID chips ( micro-sensors ) and create a
Technology Platform ( in IT department ) through which such notes can be
tracked , through NFC
in smart phones carried in everybody’s pocket
Idea was to put a permanent end to BLACK MONEY generation / accumulation through CORRUPTION
But the problem was :
How to “ power “ ( - although ,
very small ) those RFID
chips , to be able to reveal their Unique Serial Numbers to a nearby smart
phone / smart watch ( -
which , in turn , communicates with the server of the IT department ) ?
Could following news
appearing in today’s Deccan Chronicle , solve that problem ?
New printable thin films
could help power Internet of Things
Scientists, including one of Indian origin, have designed printable, organic thin films
for "neuromorphic" computers inspired by the human brain, which will
help power Internet of Things. Internet
of Things (IoT) need components and chips that can handle huge quantities of
data.
In 2020, there will already be 50 billion industrial internet
sensors in place all around us. A single autonomous device - a smart watch, a cleaning
robot, or a driverless car - can produce gigabytes of data each day, whereas an
airbus may have over 10,000 sensors in one wing alone.
Current transistors in computer chips
must be miniaturised to the size of only few nanometres, and analysing and storing
unprecedented amounts of data will require huge amounts of energy.
Sayani Majumdar, from the Aalto University in Finland, along with her
colleagues, designed and fabricated the basic building blocks of
"neuromorphic" computers inspired by the human brain.
"The technology and design of neuromorphic computing is advancing
more rapidly than its rival revolution, quantum computing," said Majumdar.
"The key
is to achieve the extreme energy-efficiency of a biological brain and
mimic the way neural networks process information through electric
impulses," she said.
In a study published in the journal Advanced Functional Materials,
researchers showed how they have fabricated a new breed of 'ferroelectric
tunnel junctions', that is, few-nanometre-thick
ferroelectric thin films sandwiched between two electrodes.
They have abilities beyond existing
technologies and bode well for energy-efficient and stable neuromorphic computing. The
junctions work in low voltages of less than five volts and with a variety of
electrode materials – including silicon used in chips in most of our
electronics.
They also can retain
data for more than 10 years without power and be manufactured in normal
conditions.
"Our junctions are made out of organic hydro-carbon materials and they would
reduce the amount of toxic heavy metal waste in electronics," said
Majumdar.
"We can also make thousands of junctions a day in room
temperature without them suffering from the water or oxygen in the air,"
she said.
"What we are striving for now, is to integrate millions
of our tunnel junction memristors into a network on a one square centimetre area," she added.
"We can expect to pack so many in such a small space because
we have now achieved a record-high difference in the current between on and
off-states in the junctions and that provides functional stability,"
Majumdar said.
"The memristors could then perform complex tasks like image and pattern recognition
and make
decisions autonomously," she said.
I urge Shri
Arun Jaitleyji / Shri
Ravi Shankar Prasadji , to invite Sayani Majumdar and
pose to her the challenge of getting India rid of BLACK MONEY forever through her invention
But , before reaching out to Sayani , they may want to look up my following
earlier emails on the subject of embedding RFID chip in high denomination notes :
