This is a really cool finding, but also really sad considering all of the animals from before are now extinct. Hope future grassland and forest protection programs take this histor…

And not tesla, seriously?

Very fun to see how trends got started! Searched quantum computing and the oldest result was Peter Schor's paper on what would become Schors algorithm

Adamatzky is a GOAT in biocomputing. Hes the sort of researcher who really makes me question why we spend so much money on developing quantum computers and other new ways of modeli…

I'd be very very worried about a protein model that just came out alphafold to be used to come up with drug targets without at least some molecular dynamics simulation of the solut…

"In 2018, I wrote in the Washington Post that startups have begun usurping the responsibilities of governments at breathtaking pace. Whether it was Uber and Lyft supplementing much…

You'd have thought that that Quorum blockchain would prevent such things..

"Not only that, but the decentralised utopia that Nakamoto dreamed about, namely avoiding trusted third parties, is still far out of reach. Ironically, there are now three mining p…

Right okay makes sense...guess I am just too used to NISQ and having to run many thousands of shots for high enough fidelity..if all you wanted was one output, then yeah one classi…

Right, but you would still get the basis states for all 127 qubits right? And that would be 2^127 output states. Yes, you could do some sort of search maybe to find highest probabi…

Also another problem: you now have 2^127 output values leaving the quantum processor. If you're using a hybrid quantum algorithm that requires classical processing as well (which a…

Maybe you just havent been seeing the same horror I've been seeing in terms of whole families getting covid and falling quite sick in India due to the shock it caused to the health…

I just want everyone here to know that Sequoia is funded by university endowments, and yet still does not have the confidence to invest in bleeding edge technology, picking instead…

As someone who was an avid swift developer, I can see how people can get attracted to building OSS for .NET or Swift, and how it might even be necessary in many cases given the lac…

If they wanted African supply of an mRNA vaccine, why didn't they just use The Odin's completely open recipe https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-06-25/one-bioha... , which…

Thanks, how does this compare for matrix multiplication and logistical regression to other machine learning specific cores though, like a GPU or one of those Google Tensor Cores? T…

I feel so bad for Sophie Zhang. Not only did she risk her job to whistleblow, but she had the limelight totally stolen from her by Frances, even though she said many of the same th…

To respond to the title: yes, yes they are, if you consider how many live in infura or an AWS geth instance and/or quorum by JPM. Doesn't mean its not a better means for data secur…

I think that's their whole business model really, a beautiful skin and api on top of a very boring process that makes developers want to use it. Stripe itself doesn't really handle…

Just reminds me of Chaco Canyon and how eloquently light transforms can be used for many purposes https://www2.hao.ucar.edu/Education/SolarAstronomy/sun-dagge... .

Thanks for the tip! Great site.

Agreed. While there are of course exceptions to the standard model that may end up being explained with sedenions and higher dimensionality, it's still quite robust.

Is someone going to tell them that AI/ML is just a set of regression algos, potentially on top of other regression algos, and that it is used in nearly every aspect of any online s…

Take a look at Berlin's suburbs street view and you'll see the answer, which is still have places for bungalows, but dont have excessively large roads and driveways to get there

The show "The Looming Tower" on Hulu documents this well, would recommend checking it out if you want to learn more. It also documents how the CIA and NSA basically froze the FBI o…
