They're built off fundamentally different basic units. Contemporary computers use transistors, which occupy traditional physics and do logic with voltage thresholds. Quantum computers use a quantum phenomenon -- one easy-to-understand (and fairly easy to construct) quantum computer substrate uses the spin of electrons in superconducting loops. Electron spin is a quantum phenomenon, in that the spin isn't deterministically positive or negative, it's a probability distribution -- initially, equally likely to be positive or negative, but you can't tell what it is until you actually read it. It's not 0.0, it's either -0.5 or 0.5, both with a 50% chance. Equally importantly, you can perform (physical) operations on electrons singly or in pairs in order to manipulate these probabilities. Quantum computing is turning these probability fields and operations into useful computational results.
The physical fitness is required because of the high stress environment. Computers are obviously superior here, machines are able to outperform any human in any physical situation.

Forward secrecy relies on asymmetric crypto, it merely uses short lived/one-time keys instead of long lived keys. The most popular algorithm for ephemeral key exchange is (Elliptic curve) Diffie-Hellman which is just as weak against quantum attacks as RSA. So adding a post-quantum algorithm is just as important for PFS as for plain RSA.
If in the US, HBO Max and the Criterion Channel will get you most of the way there.

HBO Max has a portion of Criterion's canon plus a lot of Turner Classic Movies (American movies 1930s-50s).

I'm the reverse of you - 90% of the time I watch films made before the 1960s, and these two services have a bunch of what I watch. Still gotta torrent or rent from iTunes every now and then though.

Would proving P != NP have any interesting implications? I know P = NP would, but was just curious if P != NP would mean anything other than "well, now we know we can't do it in polynomial time."

> It feels to me like it shouldn’t be compilation to a program that processes one character at a time

High performance regex engines do use SIMD in various places. Others have mentioned Hyperscan, which is undoubtedly a showcase of the most sophisticated SIMD techniques when it comes to regex and substring searching. But even something like RE2 uses vectorized code in places, although indirectly.

But, in all instances I can think of, using SIMD is a matter of identifying some optimization opportunity in regex matching that doesn't generalize to handling all cases. At some point, to handle some cases, you'll need that "one character at a time" loop. (Whether it's backtracking or FSM based.) So visualizations like these are still rather helpful, and at the very least, give a basic conceptual understanding of what the most general kind of FSM-based regex might look like internally. (Although, most general purpose regex engines don't actually utilize all of the transformations presented in the OP.)
I'm guessing it's because it comes from lipstick cameras inside the cockpit, recorded on an analog VCR behind the pilot's seat.

Tally Forms
In a classical computer, every bit of information in the system is in a definite state- 1 or 0. In a quantum system with such definite possible states, what you actually have most of the time of the system in some interpolation of the possible states- so in the quantum computer case each bit is usually in a state a1 + b0, where a and b are complex numbers such that |a^2|+|b^2| = 1.

Most of the time, the 'weight' flows back and forth between a and b according to certain equations over time. When you measure the system- that is, when the bit interacts with the outside world, hopefully your measuring apparatus- you see a 1 or a 0, with probabilities |a^2| and |b^2| respectively.

So what you can do is get a whole bunch of these quantum bits- qubits together, and set things up so that the time-evolution of their quantum state is correlated and probabilistically moves towards something you're interested in. Say you can set things up so the bit array- which, at first, will give you a mere perfectly random bit string on measurement- becomes more and more likely to give you, say, a prime factor, or the answer to some other question.

So yes, the quantum phenomenon is that the bits of the computer are quantum objects as opposed to classical.

That would require severe restrictions on users to a point where security actually becomes a bottleneck to normal functionality. A better way is reduce the cooperation to the minimum necessary, as opposed to eliminating it.

For example, my office MacBook has policies enforced via "security profiles". Now, being, a privileged user, I have the ability to remove these, but knocking off my privileges will severely limit my ability to install new work related software or manage my machine to suit my work, etc. They can monitor and flag if profiles are removed, but there is always this race condition that exists that a user can exploit.

I totally understand where you're coming from and would put myself in a similar position. The creator of the project highlighted faster hardware prototyping as the major feature, which is what I was responding to.

To be fair, without seeing the software, it's hard to know how much easier a project would be as a whole. But just to take that soap dispenser example, there's already some shortcuts taken - using a glue gun, Duplo and a perfectly shaped arm on a motor. If you had that, a Raspberry Pi and a couple of "ready to go" HATs from reputable suppliers who provide code examples, I don't think there would be a huge difference.

I'm pretty sure the EU invested more in the AZ vaccine in total over the course of things.

I don't see any value in canaries. I tend to agree with Moxie [1] and so do the lawyers at my place of work. A single NSL [2] can compel a company to do pretty much anything, including updating the canary despite being a violation of the US constitution [3]. Business leaders will talk tough to inspire confidence, but will back down quickly when they receive a NSL.

I wonder if Google's QA is getting worse. I had a broken Android Google Maps update last week where street view had multiple severe bugs: it didn't even show the blue lines when enabling the street view layer, split screen didn't show the marker for the virtual observer's location, and tapping in the map in split screen just rotated the view instead of moving the viewer to the new location. Something this broken should never, ever make it out the door.
TikTok could be used as a weapon by China though. When there is a right moment for them, they could start pushing propaganda to start riots and create chaos in the West. They can also manipulate what's get seen to increase the divide in society. They can control what young people can think and if you add democracy to the mix, they can do things like ensuring young people will vote for a political option good for China.
This comment misses one glaring point: Mozilla Foundation does not fund Firefox development.

There's three entities:

- Mozilla Corporation: is owned by Mozilla Foundation, employs Firefox devs, has search deals with Google

- Firefox software: is developed by Mozilla Corporation, is funded by search deals

Contrary to that I tried "can cats eat salad" and got basically a yes in the first line:

"If your cat loves lettuce and greens, these can be a great source of water, bulk, and nutrients..."

It fits with the 2/3 of searches end without a click though. That was on Google's results page - I didn't have to click.
You're being downvoted, but this is true.

A quantum computer is defined as a machine that can implement an arbitrary "unitary evolution" (up to arbitrary precision). If you don't know enough math to understand what a unitary evolution is, think of it as a quantum computer doing basically any possible thing that you can do with a given number of qubits. As another comment said, the idea is to (ab)use this to do some operations on qubits such that they end up in a state where measuring it will give you an answer to something you're interested in. It has very little to do with classical programming.

The math on quantum computers checks out, it's "just" an engineering challenge at this point, and many are doubtful whether these challenges will ever be overcome to build a quantum computer of sufficient complexity.

Essentially, some "unitary evolutions" are complex to implement, as in requiring a lot of quantum "gates". This causes an accumulation of error and a whole lot of other problems, which limits the complexity of the calculations that can currently be performed.

Cellphone cameras are good, but not great at taking pictures of objects in a distance. I live in a flight path for a landing approach of an airport. Planes get low enough where I can sometimes read writing on them, but taking clear pictures of them with my iPhone 11 is still not great.

A year or two ago the President came to my city and leading up to and on the day of his visit there were V-22 Ospreys flying this path regularly.

If you're studying alien tech for the purposes of weaponizing it, you wouldn't want someone else to know about it let alone study it, thus covering it up makes sense. A good coverup where no information leaks would be best, the second best is to cover it up with a false explanation of "not aliens" and "nothing interesting here" as to dissuade anyone else of investigating/studying the phenomenon.
Criterion is the best place to get "important classic and contemporary films" if it is available in your region. I am also hearing a lot of good things about Mubi these days though I have not tried it personally.

I don't have Criterion available in my region nor can I find DVD/blurays anywhere so sailing the high seas is the only option for me.
Seems like very silly changes that won't help anything very much but serve a narrative that the government is bending the rules.

Very stupid and unfortunate.
At the time most of what I was hearing wasn't an accidental leak but that they intentionally released it which feels like it crosses over into the xenophobic conspiracy territory. Things also get shaded by who is actually suggesting the idea and we'd had 4 years of China scapegoating in the US.
Because I think having the same (mostly tribal) political discussion ad nauseum harms the community.
Not too much, especially since for the most part the world has gone ahead betting on P!=NP

But the techniques used would likely be insightful. Particularly with proving cryptographic protocols beyond "we had a contest & damn are these bits ever uncorrelated"
Even proving P=NP would not necessarily have any practical applications. Practicality is typically not a concern in complexity theory. Even some problems that have been shown to be in P are still usually solved with non-polynomial algorithms (Linear Programming).
The proof is likely to turn up some interesting factors. The reason why something is P and something else is NP is the big question.
It's possible, just not officially supported nor straightforward. You need to run the GC yourself and all this kind of stuff.

Seconding the recommendation for https://worldtimebuddy.com - it's a really simple thing it does, but it's somehow the only site/tool I've found that clearly displays the timezones in a way that's easy to understand, including the cross-day issues. It helped a lot for me scheduling meetings between both coasts of the US, India, and Australia.

It looks like this tool does a similar kind of display, so definitely worth giving a shot.

As for this command, I already had go installed on MacOS through homebrew (although I rarely use it in any form) - and the build went fine and the command runs as expected.
I've worked in the industry, and yeah is a good explanation. The problem is that there is a reason why some strategies are uncorrelated to the market ; because they are not trading liquid vanilla products. Institutional investors cannot invest in crazy stuff that easily. Renaissance and other unicorns are not always open to new institutional investors, and certainly not one with tons of compliance to deal with.

1) Portfolio size, 2) low market correlation, 3) above market performance.

Choose two. You cannot have all three.
An interesting website based on this concept is https://www.lacinetek.com/ : it's a website gathering recommendations from famous directors (including Kurosawa), and offering to rent the movies for streaming.

It includes mainly classic and high quality movies, and while it's a bit pricey compared to Netflix, I've yet to be disappointed by a selection. Picking a movie from there is the equivalent of eating in a nice restaurant : probably not something you'd do everyday, but definitely worth it once in a while.
>largest quantum computer that exists today contains less than 100 qubits

The numbers reported in the press are physical qubits not logical qubits. You need multiple physical qubits + error correction to create a single logical qubit. The main type of error correction used today is something called "surface codes". With this type of error correction it's estimated that MILLIONS of physical qubits will be required to create a SINGLE fully error corrected logical qubit.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK538709/

We do not have actual quantum computers today and we don't seem to be much closer to having them than we were a decade ago. What we have are really interesting quantum science experiments that get misrepresented by the press (and a handful of companies with a commercial interest in doing so).
Can you point to some proof about what you said re: Jesse Singal? I feel like you've read some tweets and made up your mind instead of actually researching someone you've just lied about on a public forum.
I'm honestly intrigued how a 7 year old account has 4 comments in total. All in the last 2 months.

I mean the signup flow is basically frictionless here, and yet.
When you look at the selection criteria, it's hard to accept this as Kurosawa's favorite movies.

Based on the handful of films I've seen on this list, though, this is probably a list of films you should go out of your way to see if you're into film for something more than just for entertainment. Some are just flat out entertaining for anyone though, with the drama of Witness, the comedy of The Thin Man or the wonder of My Neighbor Totoro. Some show off the technical prowess of the director, like Barry Lindon. Some have stood the test of time as a work of art like The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Of course, I guess the point is that great movies hit many of these categories.

For a single person, yes. 900K * 0.03 = 27K

My strategy (NL) would be: buy a house/apartment for around 300K to 400K to live in (to combat rent inflation). Use the other 500K * 0.03 = 15K to live from.

For me personally:

- food is 100 euro's (buy things in bulk, buy cheap and micronutrient dense veggies like spinach, don't buy meat, buy frozen fish, etc.)

- utilities is 300 euro's (water + electricity + heat + internet + phone)

- health insurrance is 150 euro's

- disposable income is (15K / 12) - 550 = 1250 - 550 = 700 euro's. Property taxes still need to be paid, entertainment and transportation.

I may or may not have forgotten a few things, if it's still too little, then up the withdrawal rate to 4% instead of 3% and buy the 300K house/apartment.
Let me preface this with, I don't think it is likely, just playing devil's^W ETIs advocate.

It makes sense to me if the ETIs have a prime-directive-like reason not to engage but have reason to monitor or study humans. Then the behavior seems similar to teen-agers bashing mailboxes from cars or when the Air Force of one country gets a little too close to planes from another country. Your basic low-level alien tweaking the superiors/humans and seeing what it can get away with.
I won't put Singal in the same camp as Linehan, who is virulently transphobic. But in the Twitter thread you posted there are people misgendering Aimee, bemoaning Reddit's takedown of r/gendercritical and posting multiple Graham Linehan articles. So clearly, anti-trans folks see some common ground as well.
