the methods required to maintain qubits are exotic.

this site mentions the refrigeration equipment youre referencing i believe https://www.pnnl.gov/news-media/new-superconducting-qubit-testbed-benefits-quantum-information-science-development

It’s not much to look at. Its case—the size of a pack of chewing gum–is connected to wires that transmit signals to a nearby panel of custom radiofrequency receivers. But most important, it’s nestled within a shiny gold cocoon called a dilution refrigerator and shielded from stray electrical signals. When the refrigerator is running, it is among the coldest places on Earth, so very close to absolute zero, less than 6 millikelvin (about −460 degrees F).

my commercially poisoned brain was thinking ‘maybe its maybelline’

But the statement also insisted that the site was not an example of greenwashing.

“This is a direct consequence of the new legislation and is not related to our belief in the truth and accuracy of our environmental communications,” the group said.

ie, “we didnt remove the content because it contained greenwashing, we only removed the content because this legislation specifically calling out greenwashing”

o0o0 yes! i love that weird al had a part. …such a wild ride

i feel that way about the it crowd

i desperately wanted more content, but realize how that would just tarnish the run. its still so re-watchable

i would guess you either left the interface open after you made the initial entry and butt-created the second… Or maybe an object overflow… some kind of error on generating the first entry got borked into a second entry

e. did you paste the string or just type it?

sure, but thats no reason to just not try anything. maybe if it were treated as a healthcare problem instead of a policing issue.

of course, that would require the united states to actually care about its human citizens enough to pay for their well-being.

oh, i agree. but the blind eye we turn towards the availability of alcohol which kills untold thousands per year is a little insane. it kills far more than fireworks, and a lot of innocent bystanders at that.

marijuana is a registered drug because of its ‘danger’, but alcohol is not. it would be comical if it wasnt so sad

i love how everyone wants to regulate this dangerous thing, and its not the alcohol

id watch it. the live action scooby doo was way better than i expected

wont someone rid us of this orange turd

frozen burritos

its collaborative. the data needs to be sent somewhere, its going to be recorded somewhere

ie, you get to see your partners activity

even keystrokes and cursor movements are encrypted.

awwwesome

holy hell she is an insufferable grifter. fits right into that party.

my favorite is the factory analogy. giant machine the size of a football field breaks, will not run. they call in the engineering expert who spends 2 hours eyeballing the machine, when he takes out a tiny screwdriver and turns a single screw counterclockwise 1 turn. the machine bursts to life.

he hands the factory owner a bill for 10,000$.

the factory owner says ‘thats preposterous, im not paying that for one turn of a screw’

the engineer scribbles on the paper;

tuning screw 1.00$ knowing which screw to turn 9,999.00$

dont worry, the supreme court will make sure we can all get cancer from capitalists again shortly.

hell, even if its just as an exercise due to the less contagious nature. we need that factory tooled, with multiple vendors.

i remember when you could get disks from netflix… 7 at a time! i would turn them around same day. it really helped fill out my movie collection
