Why eliminate standardized testing?

That's not very typical, I'd like to make that point

We've already done bosonic sampling that's classically intractable. Google published it a few years ago. So yes, quantum supremacy has already been proven. It's a useless toy problem, but one a classical computer just can't do.

Yes, error correction will get harder the more we scale, but we're pretty sure we've reached the point where we win by throwing more qubits at it. Again, now it's engineering the scaling. No mean feat, it'll take a long time, but it's not like this is all speculation or fraud. The theory is sound

Re: quantum computing, we know quantum advantage is real both for certain classes of problems, e.g. theoretically using Grover's, and experimentally for toy problems like bosonic sampling. It's looking like we're past the threshold where we can do error correction, so now it's a question of scaling. I've never heard anyone discuss a limit on computation per volume as applying to QC. We're down to engineering problems, not physics, same as your brain vs computer case.

This seems to me to be a good video for growers who need to maximize yield, i.e. commercial growers. There are a lot of off the shelf products in here that are almost exactly as viable to hand-make

I run jellyfin on my desktop rather than a dedicated HTPC. I'm sure it doesn't matter, but I don't want my computer to be doing jellyfin scheduled tasks when I'm doing something important. While if I'm watching something, my computer's not going to be doing anything other than serving me the content, which seems like an ideal time to do housekeeping

Hostels check your ID when you check in. If the receptionist wants to check that your ID matches your face before you get a room key, you don't have a choice. I suspect the "flirting" is NYPD bullshit

Do something about it

I did some tire maintenance about six months ago. Generally not bad, but if you don't have a tank air compressor you're going to have a hard time seating the thing

Yanukovych fled because people started raiding armories and shooting at Berkut. In Egypt the army sided with the protestors. Don't know Tunisia and Algeria off the dome but I doubt there was no violence or threat of imminent violence

Are there any socialist candidates that are pro- gun rights and Ukraine?

And we invented the transistor!
