cypherpunks, Note toad.com, August 18 1987. :-) I believe John Gilmore started cypherpunks(a)toad.com in September-ish of 1992 or so, after Tim May and Eric Hughes hosted the first physical cypherpunks meeting. After using a buddy's password to the MIT/Sloan student Nexis account to research on-line cash payment and reading about cypherpunks there in an article by Kevin Kelly in the Whole Earth Quarterly, I subscribed to cypherpunks(a)toad.com, and my first post was in May of 1994, or so. But, living in Boston, I never went to a physical meeting, though I've met lots of cypherpunks face-to-face in many other places since... Seeing pyramid.com was a blast from the past. I first used Unix seriously on a Pyramid machine in the first half of 1986 or so. It had Gosling's (boo, hiss! Not Pure!) emacs on it, and, a flurry of keystroke-recorded macro building and multiple telnet shell windows later, I had practically automated my third-shift (real-live blue- smock and glass-wall) Production Expeditor job at the University of Chicago's Computation Center to about half an hour a night most nights. On my way out the door to Boston, I did the last week more or less remotely by dial-up. Lots of usenet news read, baseball-bat- sized cigars burned, pizza for "breakfast", and self-taught cross- harp harmonica playing (not necessarily in that order...:-)) in Mr. Stallman's honor as a result of that discovery... Obligatory Four Yorkshiremen thread to follow here, I'm sure. :-). Cheers, RAH ------ <http:// thelongestlistofthelongeststuffatthelongestdomainnameatlonglast.com/ first71.html> WORLD'S FIRST .COM THE LONGEST LIST OF THE LONGEST STUFF AT THE LONGEST DOMAIN NAME AT LONG LAST What was the world's first .com? Just what would the site with the world's longest domain name be without mentioning what the world's first dot com was Now were sure many of you think you know and some really do know, but those that think it was think.com better think again, think.com was the third...we think. The DNS was created in 1984 and in 1985 top level domains were defined. The first top level domains were COM, ORG, EDU, GOV, MIL and ccTLD. In April 1985 cmu.edu, purdue.edu, rice.edu and ucla.edu were the first registered domain names. The first .gov was css.gov and was registered in June 1985. The first .org was mitre.org and was registered in July 1985. Now for the first .com which was registered on March 15 1985 and it was symbolics.com which still happens to be up and running, although not much to look at. Now for the first 100 registered domains: SYMBOLICS.COM March 15 1985 BBN.COM April 24 1985 THINK.COM May 24 1985 MCC.COM July 11 1985 DEC.COM September 30 1985 NORTHROP.COM November 7 1985 XEROX.COM January 9 1986 SRI.COM January 17 1986 HP.COM March 3 1986 BELLCORE.COM March 5 1986 IBM.COM March 19 1986 SUN.COM March 19 1986 INTEL.COM March 25 1986 TI.COM March 25 1986 ATT.COM April 25 1986 GMR.COM May 8 1986 TEK.COM May 8 1986 FMC.COM July 10 1986 UB.COM July 10 1986 BELL-ATL.COM August 5 1986 GE.COM August 5 1986 GREBYN.COM August 5 1986 ISC.COM August 5 1986 NSC.COM August 5 1986 STARGATE.COM August 5 1986 BOEING.COM September 2 1986 ITCORP.COM September 18 1986 SIEMENS.COM September 29 1986 PYRAMID.COM October 18 1986 ALPHACDC.COM October 27 1986 BDM.COM October 27 1986 FLUKE.COM October 27 1986 INMET.COM October 27 1986 KESMAI.COM October 27 1986 MENTOR.COM October 27 1986 NEC.COM October 27 1986 RAY.COM October 27 1986 ROSEMOUNT.COM October 27 1986 VORTEX.COM October 27 1986 ALCOA.COM November 5 1986 GTE.COM November 5 1986 ADOBE.COM November 17 1986 AMD.COM November 17 1986 DAS.COM November 17 1986 DATA-IO.COM November 17 1986 OCTOPUS.COM November 17 1986 PORTAL.COM November 17 1986 TELTONE.COM November 17 1986 3COM.COM December 11 1986 AMDAHL.COM December 11 1986 CCUR.COM December 11 1986 CI.COM December 11 1986 CONVERGENT.COM December 11 1986 DG.COM December 11 1986 PEREGRINE.COM December 11 1986 QUAD.COM December 11 1986 SQ.COM December 11 1986 TANDY.COM December 11 1986 TTI.COM December 11 1986 UNISYS.COM December 11 1986 CGI.COM January 19 1987 CTS.COM January 19 1987 SPDCC.COM January 19 1987 APPLE.COM February 19 1987 NMA.COM March 4 1987 PRIME.COM March 4 1987 PHILIPS.COM April 4 1987 DATACUBE.COM April 23 1987 KAI.COM April 23 1987 TIC.COM April 23 1987 VINE.COM April 23 1987 NCR.COM April 30 1987 CISCO.COM May 14 1987 RDL.COM May 14 1987 SLB.COM May 20 1987 PARCPLACE.COM May 27 1987 UTC.COM May 27 1987 IDE.COM June 26 1987 TRW.COM July 9 1987 UNIPRESS.COM July 13 1987 DUPONT.COM July 27 1987 LOCKHEED.COM July 27 1987 ROSETTA.COM July 28 1987 TOAD.COM August 18 1987 QUICK.COM August 31 1987 ALLIED.COM September 3 1987 DSC.COM September 3 1987 SCO.COM September 3 1987 GENE.COM September 22 1987 KCCS.COM September 22 1987 SPECTRA.COM September 22 1987 WLK.COM September 22 1987 MENTAT.COM September 30 1987 WYSE.COM October 14 1987 CFG.COM November 2 1987 MARBLE.COM November 9 1987 CAYMAN.COM November 16 1987 ENTITY.COM November 16 1987 KSR.COM November 24 1987 NYNEXST.COM November 30 1987

D-Wave Slides from SC07 progress in quantum computing panel

http://dwave.wordpress.com/2007/11/26/slides-from-sc07-progress-in-quantum-… click on Mr. T for the power point file. (hah!) i love the prominent featuring of Google partnership on this project. surely Google / In-Q-Tel dollars will surge through the floodgates of measured skepticism shortly... some highlights: --- D-Wave approach: Superconducting adiabatic quantum computer - Extremely fast: Special purpose processor; superconducting electronics are naturally fast (700+ GHz) - Extremely low power: In principle reversible (zero heat generation); in practice power consumption & heat generation drastically reduced (factors of millions) - At the limits of physics: Universal quantum computer can't do better --- slides 14-21 are nice visualizations of the adiabatic QC implementation and use. --- adiabatic quantum computation model: - Computer initialized in "easy to reach" (convex) ground state - Answer encoded in final state - All currents adjusted slowly enough so that system remains in ground state at all times - AQC can be universal for QC [ed: this is the crux, algorithms to express some problems in AQC model difficult (right now)] - AQC is exact by definition --- quantum annealing computation model: - Computer initialized in ground state - Answer encoded in final state - All currents adjusted over period of time fixed by user [ed: key difference wrt AQC] - QA is a heuristic algorithm [ed: key difference wrt AQC] --- D-Wave processors can implement either AQC or QA models of computation. --- Summary of preliminary result - A set of progressively more powerful superconducting quantum processors have been built [ed: 28 qubits in demo] - Next generation Q3/2008 targets competition with incumbent QUBO solver methods (500+ qubits) - Web services architecture operational at several levels of abstraction from hardware; APIs documented and available
