The world will improve significantly when the wealth hoarding boomers just finish dying off.

Sweet summer child, I’m afraid you have another thing coming.

I’m old enough to have gone through a number of these technology bubbles, so much so that I haven’t paid much attention to them for a fair while. This AI bs feels a bit different, though. It seems to me that lots more people have completely lost their minds this time.

Like all bubbles, this too will end up in the same rubbish heap.

The guy on the left looks like Jamie George (England & Saracens hooker) and the one on the right looks like a blobfish. Any suggested lookalikes of the middle guy?

Not my picture, just a nicked one, but I believe it is in San Francisco.

BSC presents the first quantum computer in Spain developed with 100% European technology in c/buyeuropean@feddit.uk
[–] JohnSmith@feddit.uk 17 points 2 months ago

In the sense that there are usable qubits, and single and two qubits gates that one needs in computations, it does work. Presently coherence times are too short and number of qubits too low for practically useful computations, though.

Regardless, a lot can be learned in projects like this about integrating conventional and quantum computing. One has to start somewhere.

They’ll be implementing several updates over the coming years to push towards useful computations. The engineering challenges are formidable and the road will be long and bumpy.

Unfortunately the article does not explain how it got there as I’d really like to know. Anyway, you can’t park it there, mate.

You can’t gridlock there, mate (feddit.uk)
 

I didn’t think three cars is enough to create a gridlock, but what do I know. Yesterday three very ‘creative’ drivers managed just that right in front of me.

I wish I had a picture to share as it was that special. I don’t, so here is a schematic for your enjoyment, horror, disgust, or perhaps lols as the younglings like to say these days.

No Grenfell Tower fire charges until end of 2026, police say (www.bbc.co.uk)
 

I understand the need to investigate this thoroughly. I also appreciate that there are a lot of cheats and liars to shift through in this particular cluster fuck. Still, ten years to investigate is a lot of time.

The Government must ensure that this process is followed to the rightful conclusion. We need to see a bunch of people behind bars for their contribution to the 72 deaths.

Relevant idea for an election campaign (feddit.uk)
 

Let me describe an idea I heard from a very innovative person, which I think would be really useful right now in midst of the general election campaign.

The basic idea is to interpret politician’s or basically any talking head’s speech realtime and check the semantics against the Internet. Imagine a banner at the bottom of a TV screen with a line being drawn as the person talks.

If what the person says correlates positively with what can be found in reputable Internet sources, the line goes up and is green. There is evidence they are speaking the truth.

If what the person says correlates negatively with the sources, the line goes down and is red. There is evidence they are lying.

If what the person says does not correlate with the sources, the line is flat and brown, because they are spewing unadulterated bullshit.

I’d pay for this service.
