THE MAJOR catalyst in recent quantum advancements is the use of error-correcting codes to minimize noise produced during quantum computations. Google's Willow chip was the first well-demonstrated example of using AI to implement quantum-error correction, where they showed that

Why would Richmond City Councillor @alexaloo make statements to @GlobalBC that are false? Why would so many people jump to conclusions about the Cowichan Ruling that aren’t grounded in fact? People need to breathe, and get informed, not jump to conclusions.

When local media report false stories that play into exaggerated and misleading narratives it’s exceptionally frustrating. There is no evidence that this story is true. In fact it’s false

Random observation. In my neighborhood of 175 houses counted, only 21 have Halloween decorations of any kind currently on display.

People are rightly focusing on the notwithstanding clause, but the worst part of Bill 2 is the total ban on striking until 2028. Because the scope of an illegal strike is broad, this means teachers are working under threat, not choice. The UCP has made dissent punishable by law.

Workers are realizing that they need to keep up, the NDP and Governments in Canada in general are underestimating the will of workers. “Getting” 3% per year is hardly extravagant and likely barely ahead of inflation. Governments can always “make” more money.

New Democrats privately mocked BCGEU leader Paul Finch—unrealistic expectations, no exit strategy. He had a better read on them than they had on him. 3% a year for each of 4 years is a rich deal, that BC, running $10 billion deficits, can ill afford.

Excited to be hosting an amazing #PSADay with my @CUEBC Colleagues from across BC. Today’s Keynote was Dr Greg Sutherland talking about exploring AI through an indigenous lens. Pro-D is best when teachers learn together. @bctf

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump is calling Reagan’s words in this video “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much

Why are school administrators telling teachers and learning centre teachers that there is a limit on the number of students that can be tested for learning needs per year? 1 kid per year for a large middle school seems like gate keeping. Kids need support! #bced @lisabeare @bcndp
