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(!).

#BRICS is to G7 what a smartphone is to a landline phone.

BRICS’s global market share:

🔹Economic growth: 44%
🔹Oil production: 41%
🔹Population: 45%
🔹GDP (PPP): 36%

It’s unfair to judge your past mistakes by the knowledge and understanding you have today. You didn’t know then what you know now.

Be as gentle and kind with your past self as you would be with anyone who is learning, growing, and trying their best.

LLMs aren’t conscious, sentient or spiritual!

They are gloried next word predictors that are tuned using billions of data points, to be coherent and capable of reasoning and planning

They are immensely useful and aren’t dangerous. They can easily be perturbed to generate nonsensical responses and aren’t self aware!

In summary, they can be great tools if used correctly!

Everything you value is a product of unimaginably lengthy developmental processes, personal, cultural, biological.

Hormonal birth control makes you fat, doubles risk of depression &amp; triples risk of suicide.

This is the clear scientific consensus, but very few people seem to know it.

[JWaller7 @Waller7J]

I'm never happy with the things I accomplish.

A lot of people look at that as a sickness or something that they should try to fix.

What I've found is that voice will never go away.

The voice that says,

"Yeah, good Justin, BUT… you could have done this."

Or the voice that says,

"No matter what I do, it's never enough."

The voice that haunts you makes you great.

Those are the voices you should be most afraid of losing.

NOT the people patting you on the back and telling you you've done enough.

Those people are often trying to slow you down.

Because it creates a bigger voice of uncertainty in their own head about their accomplishments.

Embrace the voice that haunts you.

It's a gift from God.

If you don't create your own path, you will end up with the same results as your friends, peers, and parents because you will conform to the path they lay out for you. I find it hard to believe that's what anyone wants: a life that has already been lived. An early death.

Starting January 1, 2024, the cost-of-living financial requirement for study permit applicants will be raised to ensure that international students are better prepared for life in Canada. This threshold will be adjusted each year, similarly to other immigration programs. Learn more: https://t.co/7uom1rgmYI

For 2024, a single applicant will need to show they have $20,635 in addition to their first year of tuition and travel costs. This change will apply to new study permit applications received on or after January 1, 2024.

In addition, Minister Miller has provided an update on three temporary policies that were set to expire at the end of 2023, including the following:

· International students already in Canada, as well as applicants who have already submitted an application for a study permit as of December 7, 2023, will be able to work off-campus for more than 20 hours per week until April 30, 2024.

· The measure that has allowed international students to count time spent studying online towards the length of a future post-graduation work permit, as long as it constitutes less than 50% of the program of study, will continue to be in place for students who begin a study program before September 1, 2024.

· A temporary policy was introduced on three occasions to provide an additional 18-month work permit to post-graduation work permit holders as their initial work permit was expiring. Foreign nationals with a post-graduation work permit expiring up to December 31, 2023, remain eligible to apply. However, this temporary policy will not be extended further.

Loving someone feels better than being loved.

Giving love.

Giving is better than receiving.

And giving your love to someone who you feel safe to give it to, someone you trust will never use it against you.

That’s the magic.
