I think his model of the situation is short-sighted, to say nothing of the callbacks to that management principle involving transistors.

If you're thinking that the whole purpose of QC will be quickly subsumed by wide algorithms with superpolynomial speedup, you might be missing the point. It's about how computers are built, not about stuffing one specific abstraction into another. If suddenly we discover we can build a machine that can generate random numbers a quadrillion times faster than any current hardware design, that's a new space in computation.

I mean consider how widely deployed the parallelism construct is now, and that Amdahl's law was elucidated in the 60's.

Parallelism was just one degree of freedom for us to climb the S-curve on, quantum computing seems to provide essentially a continuum of them.
From a quick read, hey.com still allows arbitrary people to message you and just initially puts them in "The Screener", which doesn't seem like quite the same thing as an absolutely "completely whitelist (opt-in to receive messages) basis".

That's fine by me because

a) I do want to give out some sort of contact info on my homepage and people being able to message me in relation to that (and putting up a contact form leads to its own spam problems), and

b) if you happen to swap contact details offline, you then have to remember that you still need to additionally whitelist that person inside of that message service, which also seems somewhat of a hassle.

Somebody who gets inundated in unwanted messages might have a different opinion on that subject, though, and might indeed prefer a strict opt-in mode, with no exceptions…

I know why people opt for this sort of linguistic puffery. I know not, though, whether they realize that it has the opposite effect on anyone who has the competence and mastery that they're trying to emulate. It seems like a "no"; otherwise, they wouldn't do something that makes them look so stupid.
Well hopefully the quantum industry has fundraised enough to last them for a while . It isn't the exact picture, but minus potential shareholder (edit:lawsuits) for tanking stocks these are exactly the sorts of startups that should be comfortable with taking 70%+ haircuts to their valuation.
Well, clearly they sent it to you, so they're distributing the images. The E-Mail headers, especially if they contain a dkim signature, are likely sufficient proof for that. If not, the provider they used might be able to back your claims up. If you were using some E-Mail provider instead, those images would still land on your client devices, and the situation would be almost the same. And of course let a lawyer do the talking

Yes, violet milka cows. We've all seen them. They are the ones which give milk in perpetuity without being forcibly raped every year with their young taken away the first day they're born, milked to their death in five short years (instead of 20+ it would be otherwise), and then sent to the slaughtehouse, because they can't even walk. Serene.

Sounds like it was a pet project of the director's and had a few small art-house film screenings. If we're lucky maybe they'll take it on the film festival circuit, drum up interest, and have a wider independent/art house film release. Who knows maybe it eventually gets out to more theaters, kind of like the Mad Max Fury Road chrome edition (black and white) some years back.

The connections can still be made virtually, but the mechanisms and supports need to be created. In person there is always some slack time before or after meetings, in the hallways, cubes following interactions. If you can foster an environment where these slack times can happen digitally too, then you can have some of these impromptu discussions and get to know yous.

I suggest that video chats are probably the best format for this. Encourage people to work camera on, and to schedule small calls regularly with each other rather than always coordinating on chat/email. Start with some small talk, go into shop talk, and see what naturally falls out at the end just like regular meetings. If you're a lead/manager then set an example to this end and encourage (don't force) others to follow it.
The key claim is that it has been specialized against the target architecture to tune each parameter optimally. But, yeah that was done 20 years ago and it is not clear how much the costs have shifted on modern architectures.
I do not know about the real world implications of this, but just reading of a 20x performance increase for standard cases makes me excited.
Ask a German what their car's power is in kW. It's been more than forty years since PS (HP in German) has been relegated to merely tolerated, as long as the kW number is presented as the primary statement, but people still think in horse powers when talking about cars. Perhaps we are an outlier in the metrified countries, but I'm not convinced, I believe that gp is right.

Other examples are screen sizes: I have no intuition at all about how big 5.5" actually are, but I know where in the current phone market 5.5" would fall (awesomely non-huge!), whereas to my mind, the metric equivalent would carry no information at all ("bigger than a stamp, smaller than a TV"). And for sensor sizes you even have the situation where the imperial number is a "size class" with very little relation to actual size, whereas the metric number usually describes actual size. Completely different numbers. All countries use a combination of metric and some other system.

> Ideally we'd just begin to phase out cars

Won't happen, if anything we'll have more cars due to the rebound effect.

It was a major chance to restructure everything and downscale our vehicles and associated infrastructures, we did the exact opposite, they're bigger, heavier, faster, harder to fix/work on, &c.
On that note, it's interesting to me that the wiki page for Judy arrays mentions that the "smallest implementations are thousands of lines of code", but then also links to a 1250 LOC implementation in the references.

The latter might be a more interesting jump-off point for experimentation than this massive library.

> Technically capable of the same stuff but rarely deployed in practice.

Exactly. I doubt it's been accepted anywhere since contactless Visa/Mastercard was introduced in the UK about 2007.
It’s just like with private APIs. It’s functionality that they don’t know (¿yet?) whether they want to support it in the future, but they do provide calls that use them indirectly.

There also could be bugs in the hardware that they carefully programmed around.
The statement is just really quite absolute. The most trivial example would be an IP address being used by an abuser behind bulletproof hosting. Someone trying to deliver 200 000 spam letters in a minute and you rejecting each one is a significant amount of load - best case it still reduces your logs' SNR.
There is value in knowing what experts say. I and 99% of people in IT will never be in position to evaluate if quantum computing is feasible or not. The only thing we can do is try to evaluate expert's credibility and pick a side so to speak.

The same goes for health advice but this time it's 99.9%+ - if you're not in the field you can just listen and hope you are good at estimating who is more credible or likely to do better research or more truthful claims. Trying to evaluate them yourself is a recipe for being wrong and creating your own bubble.

If the article says: random guy X says quantum computing is a scam because Y there is nothing I can take away from it because it's very easy to make Y both incorrect and plausible sounding to me. If I know it's Oxford physics professor who makes the claim I can learn that Y is at least serious enough reason to not be easily dismissed.

Appeal to authority is bad as an argument when people knowledgeable in the field try to debate a certain point. In other cases it's very useful to know who makes the claims and very often it's the only thing that gives the claims credibility.
Even at that time the claim was heavily challenged [1], and I agree to Sean's conclusion: Judy array might be slightly faster for some applications but an added complexity is not worth it.

With calipers, sure. Even without precise measurements, we make size adjustments smaller than that when making a tight fit by sanding or whatever.

Not op, but I believe he meant that casting in theater and cinema are different.

"In film and television, the audition is called a screen test, and it is filmed so that the casting director or director can see how the actor appears on screen."

> disqualifies Shakespearean theater in the time of Shakespeare

Ira Aldridge was born a couple centuries later than Shakespeare's King Lear.

Theater and movies are different media, if you wanna put up a play about Matrix you need actors that are able to act and to fight like in the movie, which I guess are not that many.

If you're shooting a movie, you simply hire stunt doubles.

Cinema is a fiction, it's not a live performance.

Most of the times main actors are there because they are popular and help the movie promotion.
The issue is that domains are cheap and plentiful, and a spammer can easily claim to be sending mailflow on behalf of let's say, 1000 users, each sending 5-10 emails a day, and thus, a single IP "forwarding" (sending) mailflow "on behalf" of 10k domains, with 1k users each, with each user sending just 10 emails a day - would result in a pretty nice batch of spam making it through.

As things currently stand, the only "expensive" resource that is hard to acquire or fake somehow is source IPs with good reputation. Fair? I'm not saying it is. It's just effective.

Companies are not social services, they don't aim to offer some welfare. It's a harsh reality, but their competition is not doing them a social service either. So everyone is doing their best to find the best balance which bring them the best outcome.

We changed the url from https://futurism.com/the-byte/oxford-physicist-unloads-quant..., which points to this. We wouldn't do that if the site was hardwalled, but given that there are workarounds posted in this thread, it's more important to have the original source.
That's a good question, but it's so obvious that that's almost the point. So, to look at it another way, this isn't something anyone really worries about today with gmail et al. I agree.

But if you host your mail on your cloud server, or even in your home, wouldn't you feel especially worried if you saw that you had received such illegal material? What do you even do? Do you wipe the server? How many logs do you keep just in case? Do you keep them for 5 years? 10?

If you feel even slightly differently about those two options, that's the concern that is still unresolved for me. If you honestly don't, after having thought about it, then I would consider that a valid point of view here.

One reason I would feel safer with larger providers is they would be better-equipped to block the content, better-equipped to deal with the authorities, and liable for the infrastructure itself. If the cops come to confiscate or investigate some of the hardware, they're going to be dealing with Google. They may also deal with you, but if you're savvy enough not to download attachments you don't expect to receive, you may have SOME buffer there. If it's clear you are hosting your own mail, you have absolutely no buffer. It's very likely to get all your home/cloud computing equipment seized. Maybe THAT's the part that's not realistic?
Not necessarily true if the "expert" goes against most other experts.
Stable Diffusion Image Variations
A scam of top-5%-bottom-5% rule. I hate this stupidity of non-tech people out of business schools who understand zilch about tech companies.

For information on how this rule has affected people, watch BBC documentary on this topic from the series "Billion dollar dreams".
I have a fair amount of experience in this space. It’s like, at a vacuum tube era, at best. There is a definite opportunity for advancement, but it is still extremely early.

We are building user interfaces that make it easier to “play around” with quantum computing phenomena—especially with music and art—with the idea that our aesthetic sensibilities may help drive discovery.
You have misread the point of my comment. I already know it is a breach, the GP commenter was hairsplitting and the difference in my comment is negligible and is the same as what the security researcher and the statement of the breach was.

> It does matter. If you setup an unprotected server on AWS and someone hacked it. It is your fault, not AWS.

Indeed it does matter. Whoever owns the server got breached and that is that.
But I didn't say the breach didn't matter. I said the difference in where it got breached doesn't matter.
About as reasonable a take as you can get.

Can you elaborate on the cooking though? I've seen that mentioned here a couple of times, and I'm not sure I follow. I'm from a Fahrenheit country and my wife from a Celsius country, and it's never caused any issues or confusion in the kitchen. But maybe you mean also for the volumetric measurements as well (or primarily)?
I bet most tiktok videos can be categorized into a few classes and all users just watch the videos in one of those classes. So basically, it is very much like Netflix. Also, the videos are much shorter.
With all those volcanoes, why not geothermal?
This works similar to the Dalle 2 image variations, the model takes the image embeddings to is conditioned the generation.

The normal Stable Diffusion is conditioned on text embeddings, so to make image variations it was necessary to finetuned the model to accept image embeddings instead.

> The unfortunate thing is that we also find the demographic of customers here in the UK still using btinternet.com email closely aligns with customers who tend to be more problematic…

Maybe this is just wishful thinking, but if the more problematic customers are losing you money, then isn't it a valid business case to stop doing business with them given that you can identify them in advance? Wishful thinking because it'd be really nice to create a feedback loop such that users of email providers start to understand their reputation, which would make provider reputation for deliverability matter, which might improve their behaviour. But most businesses probably aren't in a position to turn away business like that.
Why can't i just be Jewish for ten minutes to get some ice cream? I can't think of a reason that is not also antisemitic.

Motivation; We don't tell Jews they can only be Jewish if they have a reason we approve of. Time; no matter where you put the line, from a minute to generations, it would be intensely antisemitic to actually measure this and tell some subset of Jews they are not proper Jews.

Synagogue attendance, circumcision, bloodline, race, all of these would be antisemitic some prejudice to actually test for or require.

I'm left with the authors suggestion that the answer lies in the 'spirit of the law'. Which is just a nice way of saying 'what i think other people thought one time'. And about as subjective as it gets.

Not sure about the support in mail clients (I mostly use mu4e with mbsync, I don't think they can look those up), and they certainly aren't required. But I set them anyway, along those for XMPP (where they should be set), and it's potentially useful. Similarly to setting TLSA, SSHFP, CAA records: those are rarely used, but they do seem nice to me, and it shouldn't harm to provide clients with such an option. Also the more servers provide it, the more motivation there is for clients to support it.
Long-s predates short-s.

It entered usage because we needed a lower case S when Carolingian monks first developed cased letters in the eighth century, and the Romans already had a similar shape (the "medial S"). For a long time "S" was only used in the capital form; small "s" came later.

Here's what Carolingian miniscule looked like, note the r-like s: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Carolineminuscel.jpg

And here's Old Roman cursive for comparison: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/18/Cu...

Small-s starts taking off around the 12th century or so, coexists with long-s for a while, before eventually replacing it.
> Strangely enough, I'm all for that :)

At least this is where we can agree on. In a money based society like ours letting people pay the real price for the minimal quality that could be considered animal friendly would solve a lot of our diet problems
Ah, but they send and report it anonymously, mitigating the risk to themselves. And the popular conception is that once that content is on your devices, it doesn't really matter how or why it got there. You're effectively ruined. That may be inaccurate but it's still a popular idea.

And re: client devices, with a provider you don't control, you at least have the option not to download or access content you are not confident is safe. If you self-host, just accepting the message is storing the content on your device.
Yeah, but if you don’t know why you have high accuracy, it is hard to feel confident that your accuracy will remain high.
