Meet Willow, our state-of-the-art quantum chip Our new quantum chip demonstrates error correction and performance that paves the way to a useful, large-scale quantum computer.

Google’s new quantum computing chip took 5 mins to solve a problem that would take a supercomputer over 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years.

Been missing my Oura ring post shifting to Apple Watch for tracking both fitness + sleep.

Started using Autosleep (iOS app, one time $5.99 purchase) last week, and I’m surprisingly impressed. I’m really into gamification via sleep scores, readiness, trend analysis, etc, and this does it all!

Cats vs Commas:

Cats have claws at the end of their paws

But commas are the pause at the end of a clause

I don’t fancy myself a political commentator, but if you’re intellectually honest you must acknowledge that Democrats have been the more fiscally responsible party for 30+ years.

A better way to process encrypted data Fully homomorphic encryption is easy if you do it with light

Optical computing encodes data in light beams instead of electric currents.

Fully Homomorphic Encryption via optical computing would reduce processing time from 1 million seconds to between 10 and 100 seconds.

Added bonus: no energy consumption/CO2 emissions
