Interesting! Rarely use Merlin for photo ID, but audio ID is crazy useful (to know if it is worth spotting a sulker or a fraction of bird between leaves). I often only know the call is uncommon, then Jon uses Merlin to ID, before a committment to spot. Inat most useful for insects and plants.

RFK fired the CDC official (w/decades of experience) leading the measles outbreak response. It's been decades since we've had such a large outbreak. And just to ensure they they can spread the measles outbreak even farther, they also fired the leadership for the center focused on immunization.

How many of your academic relatives are die-hard procrastinators?

oh ... my sis called him "the young little guy" ...

Devotion is conflated with being responsible, and highly encouraged the religious.

A quick check on some papers by Steane / Shor around 1995 and 1996 also revealed nothing.

I was betting quite heavily on BDSW96 since the identity would be handy for random hashing. But I was wrong ...

Probably from Ike :)

I was surprised not finding an earlier mention (not on big Barenco et al 95, nor BDSW96, nor Daniel's thesis). Everyone knew ... There's a shorter Barenco et al 95 discussing the quantum CNOT as a subject matter, so, should not need to look further than 1995.

Reliable Quantum Computers The new field of quantum error correction has developed spectacularly since its origin less than two years ago. Encoded quantum information can be protected from errors that arise due to uncontrolled ...

Capacity is 4180 passengers but no mention on the number of qubits! Cost: 935 million USD, similar to the Sycamore!

If the alcohol is already paid for at the time of boycott (seems to be the case here), that's not a US product anymore. It's sold by Canadians to Canadians. They should sold off the current stock.

People said that LCBO had not paid for the alcohol which could be returned to the US. If so that's a correct move.

Google Scholar Is Doomed Academia built entire careers on a free Google service with zero guarantees. What could go wrong?

Since search is dead, how soon do you think Google Scholar is headed for the Google Graveyard? I'm betting it's soon, and academia is NOT prepared

You need more sleep 🤣 !

I’m an award-winning mathematician. Trump just cut my funding. The “Mozart of Math” tried to stay out of politics. Then it came for his research.

I wrote an op-ed on the world-class STEM research ecosystem in the United States, and how this ecosystem is now under attack on multiple fronts by the current administration: newsletter.ofthebrave.org/p/im-an-awar...

I ditched my old website and created a new one on GitHub Pages:

It's a great option for a static web page, particularly if you like to do your own CSS styling rather than flipping through pre-built templates that are never quite right.

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

Woow, I feel so important !

Like valentine's day, it's am externally demanded outward display of self proclaim love.

Prosperity is over-rated. Prosperity built on the suffering of the vulnerable is evil.
