This is about exactly how I remember it, although the lanthanides and actinides got shortchanged.

Unfortunately not the best headline. No, quantum supremacy has not been proven, exactly. What this is is another kind of candidate problem, but one that’s universal, in the sense that a classical algorithm for it could be used to solve all other BQP problems (so BQP=P). That would include Shor’s algorithm, and would make...

(I hope it’s okay if I just keep posting stuff here)...

The comments say it can run a lot faster, as you’d expect for the added complexity, but they don’t usually use the full speed for liability reasons. I wonder if a version could be made that’s fully enclosed.

Example: On here vs. on Lemmit itself....

Reposting because it looks like federation failed....

It’s not really news after a decade, but I still think it’s worth a look. This is something I think about sometimes, and it’s better to let the actual scholars speak....

The mod log....

An interesting look at how America thinks about the conflict when cameras aren’t pointing at them. TL;DR they see themselves 20 years ago, and are trying to figure out how to convey all the lessons that experience taught them, including “branches” and “sequels”, which is jargon I haven’t heard mentioned before....

It’s a good candidate since it sounds like there’s no precision mechanical components like there would be in a hard drive. Does anyone have ideas for how I’d go about this? Is there a barrier I’m not considering?...

I feel like this explains a lot more of how I think about the the geography of the world today than any other map I’ve seen recently. This is why Australia seems strange and distant while China is familiar, despite the much higher language and culture affinity I have with post-colonial Australia.

Am I the only Zoomer? I see a lot of “I remember”-type responses, so I have to wonder.

A few months old now, but it was news to me. Basically, the F-16 will allow Ukraine to keep doing the same thing they are now, but are just as limited for the purpose of providing support on the front lines....

Since I don’t want to link over there, and I want to illustrate a conversation about studies showing humans prefer 11-15C with a peak at 13C....

If not, that seems like a good argument in favour of finitism. If so, what if anything does it mean if you solve it by brute force?

I’m guessing 64 or 128 but I can’t find an answer.

Maybe the classical era too, I don’t know where the start year should be. It ends in the early modern period when bordering agriculturalists like the Russians start expanding....
