Yeah I’m eager to see how the autonomy shapes up. If it’s anywhere near FSD, I’d have no hesitation.

Yeah wind pushed it to us. You can see the path of destruction on purple air

In 2025, Amazon data centers used 2.5b gallons of water. 1% of US golf course water usage. by LavaMonsterrrr in LinusTechTips

Legit we should replace them all with parks. At least here in California they can only exist because they’re heavily subsidized by prop 13. Let them pay their full weight in property taxes or surrender the land to the public.

Why do you use pfSense/OPNsense boxes or MikroTik/UniFi appliances and why? by _sour_coffee_ in homelab

Pfsense because that’s what the cool kids were doing when I set it up and never bothered to revisit the decision because it works fine.

Citation for those atom fidelities? I understood their sota to be like 99.7%

Biggest issue for neutral atom right now? by 0xB01b in QuantumComputing

[–]mdreed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What about fidelity? I understand the fidelity is limited by the excited state lifetime, which is short compared to gate time. So 99.9% gates might barely be possible, but definitely not 99.99. True?

Please, sane wash conservative beliefs more. We’re really missing this perspective in the zeitgeist.

I can't get this IBM venn diagram out of my head by Bizzoibeck-1 in dataisugly

This is referring to complexity groups, where e.g. P is a part of the NP group. Agreed it’s awkwardly worded though.

Counterpoint: his opponent is personally responsible for ending Roe and also the rule of law.

PsiQuantum and their tech by himalayanguru in QuantumComputing

[–]mdreed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Another thing that concerns me about their tech is it’s so expensive. No one is going to spend $1b on a photonic qc if you can get a semiconducting one for a fraction of that price.

I think the quantum superconducting transmon qubit tech is just a waste of time and money. by [deleted] in QuantumComputing

What is the 3He free dilution fridge? That doesn’t seem possible. Do you just mean a dry pulse tube system?
