@elonmusk Looks like claude also inherited western civ's selective amnesia about the influence of Judeo-Christian faith.

@SawyerMerritt @elonmusk Wow! Chairman Mao only got a 70/30 from the CCP!

@SimuLiu First show in MY LiFE I relate to viscerally (mainlander parents, tiananmen sq, National security, nanotech) thank you for carrying it like a boss! How about next show about nerdy Chinese American scientist at secret lab, discovers tech, unlocks ancient martial arts skills?!

The #QuantumMoonshot team introduces the "photonic ski-jump": a nanoscale PIC device enabling chip-to-world optical interfaces with unmatched beam scanning.
Now on @arXiv: https://t.co/sifUaBa8Sk
Thank you @MITREcorp, @RLEatMIT, @uarizona and @SandiaLabs

We're building the world’s first fully universal, scalable, error-corrected, fault-tolerant #quantum computer—contained on a chip.

Indeed. An inability to distinguish between terrorists trying to kill as many civilians as possible and a military operation against a terrorist force operating among civilians is a capitulation to barbarism. Mourn every innocent death, but do not confuse cause and effect.

@realDonaldTrump New look: blue steel…bars

@DulwichQuantum I think we can shorten to a decade if the US took a Manhattan or Apollo project approach and actually unified all the best people under one roof where entrenched interests and careers are not at stake so that we can pursue the actual best path and invent what doesn’t exist yet.

@ccanonne_ This must be tech’s “papyrus” moment

[Henry Wen @henrywen]

@postquantum @DulwichQuantum @dwavequantum The nuance needs to go both ways. The classical simulability is contingent on lossy circuits while the quantum advantage of sufficiently
low loss BosonSampling still stands. The hype is a disease but there still should be development of classically nonsimulable systems.

@timkellernyc I met Dr. Keller once at Oxford. I thanked him for his reserved nature because you knew it was genuine emotion when he did show it. Shedding tears with many tonight.

@aigkenham …the centrality you put on these matters such that you put an unnecessary stumbling block in the faiths of so many young people. Truly grieved by this.

[Henry Wen @henrywen]

@aigkenham I grew up in a church that promoted your view of creation and have over the years found it to be poorly reasoned and inconsistent with nearly every scientific observation I’ve come across. But worse than the poor reasoning or the contradictions is…

[Henry Wen @henrywen]

@ianbremmer Just finished a whole carton

@mehdirhasan @juliaioffe When I lived in rural-ish upstate NY I was surprised that middle-aged joes and janes were really into the Hunger Games and the Divergent book series. I thought they were just books for a angst teens. Now looks more like a prelude for insurrection.

@AmbQinGang “that the government of the People’s Republic of China is the sole legal government of China”, Ok but does that mean only and always the CCP? Could PRC ever allow multi-party rule?

[Steven Strogatz @stevenstrogatz]

In 2013, I was asked to contribute to a collection of essays on the theme, "What should we be worried about?" This was my answer at the time.

@crystalMIT13 You won’t get more women in a picture like this until you have more men willing to (at least partially) sacrifice their careers the way most women do now and support their spouses.

[Henry Wen @henrywen]

@elonmusk What if you decide to break up your empire under mysterious circumstances?

[Henry Wen @henrywen]

@KirstenPowers I think we as a species (men and women) need to grow up and accept the reality that the sheer existence of our species and of life in general rests on the fact that our bodies are not always and entirely our own.
