Except for literally anything dry or single use. Packaging for screws, toys, electronics, medical material and also actual items themselves like straws, single use plates/cups/forks, etc.

Completely useless amiright

Today it is the US president yelling “Down with Ronald Reagan(s advert)”

Its really not on that trajectory tho. Huge inflated numbers of nonfunctional physical qubits are just a way to get funding. Its like AI bros boasting about how much data their LLM model sucked in. The number of usable qubits hasnt changed at all basically. They are still in the stage of figuring out how it even works. Compared to traditional computers, they are at the stage of trying to invent the transistor. Yes in 20-30 years it will maybe be useful, but only if they dont hit physical limitations that prevent scaling. And then the question is FOR WHAT? Dead people cant make use of quantum computers and dead people is what we will be if we dont figure out solutions to some much more imminent, catastrophic problems in the next 10 years.

As you said, this research isnt functional. The TLDR of all of the following is that to my understanding the record holding quantum computer currently has 4 (four) qubits.

From the original source (caltech)

Looking ahead, the researchers plan to link the qubits in their array together in a state of entanglement, where particles become correlated and behave as one. Entanglement is a necessary step for quantum computers to move beyond simply storing information in superposition; entanglement will allow them to begin carrying out full quantum computations.

So yeah, they arent at the step where they can actually do anything with the qubits they created. 6100 physical qubits also doesnt equal 6100 logical qubits. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_and_logical_qubits

Since the development of the first quantum computer in 1998, most technologies used to implement qubits face issues of stability, decoherence,[6][7] fault tolerance[8][9] and scalability.[6][9][10] Because of this, many physical qubits are needed for the purposes of error-correction to produce an entity which behaves logically as a single qubit would in a quantum circuit or algorithm; this is the subject of quantum error correction.

Im a total non expert on quantum things, but from the looks of it, the most efficient systems (at Microsoft) still need many times the amount of physical to create a single logical qubit.

The team used quantum error correction techniques developed by Microsoft and Quantinuum’s trapped ion hardware to use 30 physical qubits to form four logical qubits.

Its also impossible to read up on this stuff, because lots of research for “quantum computers” actually just algorithmically simulates the logical qubits on standard non quantum hardware. So if you search just for “largest logical qubit system” you get lots of garbage and searching for physical qubits gives you research like this 6,100 number that cant be converted into a realistic number of logical qubits, because the overhead needed for error correction varies drastically between techniques.

What you really wanna know is the largest set of functional logical qubits that actually relies on physical qubits. And the answer to that seems to be 4. Whats needed to break RSA-2048 is probably multiple thousands of those stable, error free logical qubits.

The company also holds the record for two-qubit gate fidelity, becoming the first to reach 99.9%. Microsoft and Quantinuum created four logical qubits on the H2 quantum computer, running 14,000 experiments without a single error.

Its 2025 and to my knowledge we have a total of zero quantum computers that can even do basic first grade math.

Just as a context for people like myself that want to get their own look onto the tattoo situation. I cant find any less blurry pictures, but the shape matches quite well. He already got it covered up now, so no way to check.

This is an Nazi SS Totenkopf badge:

This is the tattoo:

Its not brutal at all, its very serious and factual. Its not trolling, its calling out lies and idiocy.

Thanks :)

And no word about releasing the server code :(

Where was the teargas? Am i blind?

This is a very classic fallacy. In reality, if you dont fight back things will get worse anyways until nobody has the power to fight back. The longer you wait the harder it will be. Staying peaceful only makes sense as long as your opponent is peaceful. If they kill people and you dont fight back, then they take that as permission to kill more people.

Offline Translator is cool, but the description didnt do it justice. Its a combined OCR + translator app. So you can just take a pic of some random text or sign somewhere and it will translate and overlay the text on the image.

Was about to write this. As long as the inner part of the seal is clean, it doesnt matter whats outside. Maybe wash the lid before putting it back on tho. Depending on how its produced you often get a bit of spill on the outside rim of the glass which then doesnt get cleaned off properly. Over time that part can grow moldy, but its all outside the actual container.

Maybe its her husband making her be like this?

This article would have been perfect if not for the end. What was missing here was the hard numbers, that we have known for years, which show that the vast majority of child abuse happens inside families and not at all on or through the internet. There are no digital traces for most CSA so you will never be able to effectively fight this if you focus mainly on digital traces.

The challenge now is finding a way to bridge this discrepancy between the privacy and security we deserve with the data usability that law enforcement requires.

When the author is like “hmm but what could we possibly do instead of spying on everyone” they fail in their mission to give readers a realistic view of the situation. The only real solution to this problem is not of technical or digital nature, but of the social and personal kind. Teachers, doctors, caretakers need to be trained to notice patterns that emerge from sexual abuse, not just in children but adults as well, so they can give people the help they need or alert authorities if necessary.

Its sort of an anti-meme punchline

I see. I havent had a Google account for like 8 years, so i didnt notice the difference.

Very cool stuff and amazing that she was okay with having the whole ordeal filmed and published for us to see.

This isnt new. Its been happening for years. There is a post about this on lemmy every few weeks. It just doesnt happen consistently, so people always think that they “discovered” this for the first time.

They dont got helmets on so you can probably take out at least two of them if you are a really fast and good shot. But you wont survive against 4 sadly.
