Physics - Parallel Production of Quantum Memories

You can now run a full Linux operating system inside a 6mb PDF. Someone embedded a RISC-V emulator inside a standard document. You don't need a virtual machine, just a PDF reader. → Runs interactively inside the file. → Powered by a tiny RISC-V emulator. → The entire OS fits

Energy has always been the quiet partner in rising incomes. More energy enabled higher productivity, healthier lives, and larger opportunity. That link hasn’t disappeared. What’s changed is the need to rebuild energy systems to scale cleanly and reliably. We need an energy

"Shor’s algorithm is possible with as few as 10,000 reconfigurable atomic qubits" A neutral-atom architecture could support quantum computation at cryptographically relevant scales using a smaller number of qubits than was previously thought necessary. https://t.co/kJB9Pu0DkZ

As private credit's troubles mount, it's natural to wonder if it could lead to another financial crisis, as with subprime. I spent some time studying the parallels. Here's my answer. https://t.co/bmRhA0D1v4

This is the Weierstrass function, a “monster” that is continuous everywhere but differentiable nowhere. First published in 1872, it prompted scrutiny of assumptions in calculus. Similar functions are used to study random motion and analyze risk. https://t.co/tMXyKuJIrC

For the second consecutive year, winter sea ice in the Arctic reached a level that matches the lowest peak observed since satellite monitoring began in 1979. On March 15, Arctic sea ice extent reached 5.52 million square miles, @NASA and @NSIDC report. https://t.co/ZzCduqnQfM

Der Iran-Krieg und die Preisrally an den Ölmärkten werden das alles beherrschende Thema an den Börsen bleiben.

Further to my earlier posts on the difficulties investors face in mitigating portfolio risks, here's a chart from the FT article on: "Stocks and bonds slump in tandem as Iran shock leaves investors ‘nowhere to hide’: Traditional 60-40 portfolio of global equities and fixed income
