    Why not simultaneously shrink at the rate the market will bear AND increase the price to what the market will bear AND decrease the cocoa to what the market will bear

    I've noticed that tech people will respond to an encroachment on civil rights with a technological alternative. I think this is a mistake, because the excuse is presented in bad fa…

    with sufficiently many public/private partnerships, what's the difference?

    I'm super curious what alexia massalin is up to these days, besides collecting microunity patent royalties

    For superconducting qubits, yes. For other architectures everyone is doing their own thing.

    I think that's the datacenter with the gas turbine generators that operate without permits because they're "portable." Data centers have tremendous externalities but colossus is a …

    sure but it seems spiritually wrong to use an LLM to debug a slop paper. Who knows, maybe claude generated it in the first place?

    the irritating thing about LLM generated papers like these is that they're wrong but are generated using LLMs that are capable enough to bury the absurd claim pretty deep in there.…

    this paper looks AI generated to me... I mean, there's no experiments to go along with it.

    see terry pratchett's boots theory of economic fairness. They'll get into the market with something that costs more long term...

    I mean I get your argument but it feels like one should adjust for wage growth instead. One labor unit of value converts to a shittier backpack.

    for making research grade devices you barely need a cleanroom

    You just need unitarity.

    There are NO alternatives. There's nothing else that stays liquid at 4 K and absolutely nothing else comes close.

    2d materials are so awful to work with but keep yielding these stunningly beautiful results so physicists must persist.

    The power of quantum computing is constructing the solution to a problem out of an interference pattern. Classical probabilities don’t interfere, but quantum probabilities do. Loos…

    The communication here is clear as mud. WHICH quantum systems? D-Wave? We know D-Wave is a joke!

    I have a 556 and 547 that I still use. They work fine. They slowed down a bit from the resistors drifting but whatever. Still very fun to use and they heat the workspace in the win…
