Second degree? What would it have taken to reach first degree, I wonder. Some people are utterly consumed by hate.

So in theory, then, you could perform a computation on quantum computer A, transport the result without measuring it, then perform another computation that uses the result, right?

Why Diversity Programs Fail After Wall Street firms repeatedly had to shell out millions to settle discrimination lawsuits, businesses started to get serious about their efforts to increase diversity. But unfortunately, they don...

My problem with DEI has always been where the approah works. I've tried to engage it's proponents numerous times on the tactics and whether the assumption they made were valid.

Err, wut? So cishet men are too biased to reoort on cishet issues? 🤔

Run away from cavity wall insulation

It depends on where the house is. If you are in Northern Britain near the West Coast, watch out

I notice the way that people writing stuff like this prefix a preposterous assertion with "Of course".

Gods, that's not so much a feed as an absolute torrent. I'm glad that the service exists, but what a grim story it tells.

Ok, quick thread on why DeepSeek is blowing up assumptions about LLMs and maybe the whole (U.S.) AI industry. DeepSeek is an AI lab funded by a Chinese hedge fund, their AI code is open source, meaning freely available to use, which most big U.S. models (aside from Meta’s) are not. That’s the start…

And also, the authors of articles like that do tend to assume that people somehow produce better (or more) work in a busy office

Mm, that did strike an odd note. Being able to fetch the kids makes remote working a feasible option for many people.

Ah, I see. So the OP wasn't talking about towers at all, but line toers. Vv confusing, sorry.

You do not have to consume every single tiny piece of bad news in order to be a good person. It’s ok to miss things. Traumatizing yourself isn’t the same as activism. Bearing witness to the point that you’re paralyzed with fear and horror and fury isn’t going to help us get through this.

I have a big ask. My 9yo son is autistic and he’s been raising a betta fish he named Kevin. Yesterday He asked if he could “share a photo of Kevin with the whole world“. I don’t know if this will work, but a dad’s gotta try. Like and share if that’s your thing. Kevin says hi! 🐟👋

Right, this was when I was eighteen so don't judge me too harshly. Or if you think drugs are cool and I'm a legend, fill your boots. Anyway, at the time I was working through college in Dublin with bar shifts at [redacted] music venue. One day I get a call on my day off.

Love it, thanks.
