  • No, you'd need at the very least 2000 logical qubits to break some relatively outdated encryption, this one only has 105 physical qubits (and at their current rate they'd need over 1000 physical qubits for every logical qubit)

    and even if you had that, you might still run into other problems

    so this seems like a promising breakthrough but it's still nowhere close to breaking encryption

  • if you totally ignore the second study, sure

  • Actual research finds that annual "deaths caused due to lack of insurance" is around 40-50 thousand (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2775760/)

    and "if the usa had healthcare as good as france, 101 thousand annual deaths would be prevented" (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-deaths-rankings-idUSN0765165020080108/)

    as for war deaths, the ~100 thousand barrier is breached when all wars back to the korean war (1950-1953) are included. Then world war 2 is massively over

    so the literal truth of the original statement is that it's maybe mostly correct if you consider "our wars" to only be wars that the usa played a key role in starting, and only count the last century, but false if not

    (eg. the civil war would totally blow the number out of the water, world war 2 would totally blow the number out of the water, and with the unpopular vietnam war it would depend on what exactly your standards of "lack of access to medical care" are)

  • Considering how many times I've seen that exact phrase, I think there is some automated system giving that as a default value if no changelog is manually supplied

  • is that spot inside an active volcano?

  • Trying to beat up someone holding a machete may not be the brightest idea

  • also the person apparently spent 2 million dollars to find the number. and the money is probably from stock compensation from nvidia

  • that does happen to be one of the defining characteristics of mersenne primes.

    And searching for mersenne primes happens to be the easiest known way to find extremely large prime numbers (via the Special Number Field Sieve I believe)

  • Garbage collection is still allowed, and technically JIT languages are still compiled so it really isn't that restrictive

  • every single language (except Vlang of course) is memory safe if you program it perfectly.

    Very, very few humans are capable of doing that, especially with C.

  • Shorts

  • pretty simple. [the video site] sees how popular tiktok is and wants to get a slice of that "short format" pie. It incentivizes content creators to make content that fits the format by promoting it on the algorithm. If there is a shortage of content in that format (and for that type of audience), anything semi-decent will do, eg. highlights from longer videos. As the algorithm needs to fill that quota of videos somehow

  • I always have a niggling feeling that maybe it's a human who sarcastically pastes a recipe
