It is something that sounds impressive. If it worked it would probably be impressive. But I get the sense that a lot of people, just like with AI, really believe that this is a technology that is already working. Seriously, where is the money going if it’s not working? IBM(the holocaust punch card people) are heavily invested in QC and receiving government grants for it.
Quantum computing is pretty much vaporware at this point, right? Kamala says we need to keep up our investments in QC and AI to beat China, but as far as I know, QC has some serious fundamental barriers that we are not able to overcome right now, which prevents the technology from even being used for the things people want it to be used for. So what are we competing for?
I was reading IBM’s roadmap for QC development and it could honestly be the RDI Star Citizen promises with how out of sight and reliant they are on the technology improving at an unrealistic pace.
Maybe I’m cynical and have an outside perspective but quantum computing is starting to look like one of those dead ends that everyone looks back on and feels a little embarrassed by the whole thing.
In a groundbreaking partnership, bitcoin native financial services company Unchained and the University of Austin are launching the first long-term endowment fund held in bitcoin. This innovative collaboration aims to raise $5 million, which will remain invested in bitcoin for at least five years. This initiative marks a significant step in integrating bitcoin into higher education, reflecting a mutual commitment to forward-thinking financial strategies.
The way it’s worded on Wikipedia makes it sound like they actually raised the whole $5 million in bitcoins, but the only figure I can find is the 2 bitcoins($138,000) that University of Austin announced and then shills with 10000 algorithmically generated articles on it. Holy shit, the University of Texas at Austin HAS to sue these people into changing their name. This is such an obvious scam.
I didn’t know Prof. Refaat Alareer before his death, and don’t want to co-opt the tragedy of the loss of him or his family for some stupid American scam university bullshit. But reading about his life really hammers in the dichotomy between a person like who Prof. Alareer was and an inveterate grifter like Bari Weiss and the tragic and pathetic irony our world is capable of. A person who dedicated their life to teaching English to people in their home so young persons can share their stories of love and hardship living in the open air concentration camp of Gaza with the whole world has left us, while the person who instigated their death after months of training a twitter mob on Prof. Alareer and their family until some yucko in a Tel Aviv bunker fired a missile at Prof. Alareer to defend the honor of the Zionist Twitter Helen of Troy who gets to live and speak to a roomful of nerds about how fighting wokeness is an ancient greek value and by attending the University of Austin you’re basically a hoplite in the ideas phalanx against western degeneration.

If I get killed by Israeli bombs or my family is harmed, I blame Bari Weiss @bariweiss and her likes

I blame Bari Weiss too and hope for justice in the future.

Is Dr. Cornel West a grifter?
People keep saying it but I am unsure what they are referring to. Hell, I would be more likely to believe the grifter narrative if Dr. Cornel West had stayed a Green, which is like the premier grifter party in the US, as far as I can tell. See, I was planning to every year to change the Reaper drone operators. Dr. West seems like the most well-known person whose views align closely enough to mine. I would not want to vote for Dr. West if it was all a scam. And would likely vote PSL again. I was disappointed Leonard Peltier had to drop out last time for completely understandable reasons but was still proud to have supported that ticket. Which is the only thing my vote really matters for, that I can live with myself at the end of the day as I’ve only ever lived in red states.
