The Quantum Continuum
Current Status: Quantum computers are already in use for scientific research, and real-world applications are expected to emerge in the near future, even before large-scale, error-corrected systems are achieved.
Timeline: The shift will be a gradual quantum continuum, not a sudden "light-switch moment." Widespread societal impact is estimated to occur in a range from a few years to decades.
Analogy: The current stage of quantum development is likened to artificial intelligence in 2010, just before neural networks became broadly useful.
US-China Trade Framework 🇨🇳🇺🇸
Preliminary Consensus: US and Chinese trade negotiators reached a "framework deal" on a wide variety of topics, including tariffs, soybeans, and rare earths . This led to a surge in global equities, with S&P and NASDAQ futures up.
Unresolved Tensions (Sticking Points): Crucially, major technology-related issues were not addressed in the preliminary framework:
Intellectual Property (IP) remains a major concern.
Semiconductors and chip equipment exports to China were not discussed at all.
Other Trade Deals: Progress was also cited on trade with Malaysia, where a framework deal was reached to spare chips from future levies, which is significant since Malaysia is the sixth-largest exporter of semiconductors
All 50 states would block @elonmusk from teaching a high-school physics class because he doesn’t have an arbitrary government-issued "teaching certificate." We’ve got professionals and retirees in all 50 states—engineers who built bridges, pilots who’ve flown across the world, and doctors and nurses who’ve saved lives—who would love to volunteer to teach. Yet they can’t because teachers unions have lobbied to create barriers. State governors should tear down these barriers and invite professionals and retirees into our schools to teach and inspire young Americans.
Holy sh*t, the AI bubble’s so obvious it’s got its own gravitational pull.
Nobody has a fucking clue what’s happening. Elon’s up there like, “We’re building 500 megawatts, gigawatts, I don’t know man who cares? It’s going to cost eight bazillion trillion dollars.”
Jensen’s in the back having a full-on coronary, whispering “staaaahp” while his GPU empire melts. It’s all fake Monopoly money and press-release diarrhea. Elon can’t even pretend to take it seriously—he’s grinning like a kid torching ants with a magnifying glass. 😂
I agree with President Macron on this matter: social media platforms have been extremely nonchalant when it comes to content moderation for children and teenagers, and their so-called agenda regarding free speech is nothing but a big fat lie.
