> A 100MW datacenter will emit 1.5 million tons of CO2 over a 5 year lifetime (given average USA energy sources). In contrast, 10 Starship launches (~1,000 tons to orbit) will emit no more than 40,000 tons of CO2. How did you come to 10

If you want to use a niche, academic definition of "usable", that's fine but you better be ready to explain yourself. Because in general, "usable" means "people use it". Which they do for Obsidian without

People have been drinking syrup mixed with water for centuries, maybe even Millenia. Wikipedia dates the popularity of soft drinks to the medieval middle east, but the origins of sweet fruity water are thought to be ~400 BC Persia at least.

No, market cap is a representation of the expected future success, but share cost depends on this expectation. Higher expected future success, higher share cost. So, the only reason to buy shares is if you expect the market cap to increase.

I almost never drink artificial sweetened drinks. But when I do, I barely notice a difference, and it doesn't really bother me. Why is it so hard to believe that people's taste perception vary?

Is it possible you are confusing AES with RSA? I've heard a lot about Shor's algorithm breaking RSA, but this article on hackernews is the first I've heard anyone discuss quantum attacks for AES. Then again, I am in quantum c

The prose is correct. You (presumably) aren't your grandmother, so we have x=/=y. Therefore by the biimplication, (x ≤ y and y ≤ x) is false i.e. either x ≤ y (I am better than my grandmother) or y ≤ x (my grandmother is better t

You can be an outsider with expertise, in which case you can still beat the non-expert outsiders. So now who are the non-expert outsiders and why would they bet? Outsiders who think they are experts but are wrong.

I don't see how your opinion matches the article. Expecting a company to hold its own promise (of notifying the user before it happens) sounds like a pretty minimal expectation, hard for me to imagine it being "too much". Fur

The exponential blowup is in the symbolic regression section, where to search among depth K trees requires 2^K parameters. As an example, searching for sqrt(x) would require a tree of depth ~40 which is in the trillion-parameter regime.

They had something like 58000 atoms in their lattice and managed to form 17000 qubits from atom pairs. Pretty impressive already yeah, I'm sure either their team or another research team will try to improve the qubit yield. Increasing

Not sure what distinction you are trying to make. The researchers used a 58000 atom system, turned 17000 of them into qubits, and applied their gate to all those qubits simultaneously. Are you doubting this? On what grounds? It's state
