Introducing Willow, our new state-of-the-art quantum computing chip with a breakthrough that can reduce errors exponentially as we scale up using more qubits, cracking a 30-year challenge in the field. In benchmark tests, Willow solved a standard computation in <5 mins that would take a leading supercomputer over 10^25 years, far beyond the age of the universe(!).

okay so AI can literally read our minds now.

a team from osaka was able to reconstruct visual images from mri scan data using stable diffusion.

first row is the image presented to the test subject, second row is the reconstructed image from mri data.

wild.

Pretty much every smart person I know has a ChatGPT tab open while they work now. Amazing how fast that happened.

One of the most important skills in Software Engineering is being able to identify essential complexity and eliminate unnecessary complexity. Minimize creating complexity at all where possible.

Does your (EU) country attract or lose top researchers?

AT, CH attract a lot.

FR, DE, BE, ES are open places: as many leave as arrive.

IE is a closed system.

Italy, there is something very wrong: *very* few come, many go.

What's the best way to store your own personal digital data for the long run?

I've been trying to answer this question for a while, allow me to share. Here's a 🧵

Since 1969 Strassen’s algorithm has famously stood as the fastest way to multiply 2 matrices - but with #AlphaTensor we’ve found a new algorithm that’s faster, with potential to improve efficiency by 10-20% across trillions of calculations per day! https://t.co/nLvFbEDBuO

/1 How will you design the Stack Overflow website? If your answer is on-premise servers and monolith (bottom), you would likely fail the interview, but that's how it is built in reality!

Ingenious scientists worked around the clock to find vaccines, with spectacular success. Will their noble efforts to beat the virus be defeated because of a new epidemic – new virus, a virus of the mind, the memetic virus of anti-vax propaganda spread by gullible fools?

When people say "The reason you can't trust science is that scientists used to say &lt;thing that turned out to be wrong&gt; but now they say &lt;different thing&gt;", they're actually explaining why science works so well.

John von Neumann: "with four parameters I can fit an elephant"

Meanwhile, this paper https://t.co/n15oCHoK3U: "How to fit any dataset with a single parameter"

Here's a function with a *single* parameter. Even worse: it's differentiable and continuous!
