One thing that's good to keep in mind when engaging with discourse on the internet of Chinese origin is that it's very likely that accessing the platform it's on is illegal in China. Then the question becomes "how come they can post?" And from that you can draw your own conclusions.

The same goes for Chinese content creators on Youtube, or any service that is illegal in China.

Depends on the duck.

"Because it's a universal technology, and because it's the arrival of an alien intelligence… we may make mistakes with respect to how it's used, but I can assure you that we're not going to get there through conservation."

I can't understand what he's saying, even though it's in english. Did AI mean Alien Intelligence all this time?

Ah, I look forward to even more extensions to the PD standard.

Please read the article. They are talking about an improvement over existing algorithms by using quantum computing.

LLMs and generative AI aren't going to be any good on this problem. The article is using the older, non-buzzword computer science meaning, which includes algorithms for this exact problem, such as the ones used for a category of difficult problems known as constraint satisfaction problems. These problems were artificial intelligence problems before the term "AI" was turned into a marketing buzzword.

Allocating gates is one problem that traditional computers and algorithms struggle to do quickly, with calculation times increasing disproportionately to the size of the problem.

But, Dr Doetsch is confident that approaches using quantum computing will crush the problem.

"Quantum algorithms will allow optimally assigning gates, and other resources, even in large airports and travel networks. These algorithms will be able to respond to changing external factors with updated optimal solutions in real time," he says.

This stuff is cool, and has nothing to do with generative AI.

My guess is that showing them in order requires some extra work due to Twitter's technical design. Turning it off for people who don't log in probably simultaneously saves money and incentivizes logging in.

It's the players' fault for not buying our game.
