Twist - a new programming language for quantum computing

https://analyticsindiamag.com/twist-a-new-programming-language-for-quantum-…'s%20Computer%20Science,intuitive%20programs%2C%20with%20fewer%20bugs. "Scientists from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence (CSAIL) have created Twist – a programming language for quantum computing. The language uses a concept called purity, which enforces the absence of entanglement and results in intuitive programs, with fewer bugs. Twist can describe and verify which pieces of data are entangled in a quantum program, using a language a programmer can understand. "Programming quantum computers requires awareness of entanglement. When two qubits are entangled, actions on one qubit can change the value of the other, even when they are physically separated. This potency is also a source of weakness. While programming, discarding one qubit without being mindful of its entanglement with another qubit can destroy the data stored in the other. This jeopardises the correctness of the program. “Our language Twist allows a developer to write safer quantum programs by explicitly stating when a qubit must not be entangled with another,” said Charles Yuan, an MIT PhD student in electrical engineering and computer science and the lead author on a new paper about Twist. “Because understanding quantum programs requires understanding entanglement, we hope that Twist paves the way to languages that make the unique challenges of quantum computing more accessible to programmers.”

[ot][spam][crazy][draft][wrong] Humanity Wins if you Ignore the Torture and Forced Destruction
by Undiscussed Horrific Abuse, Victim & Survivor of 30 Jan '22

30 Jan '22

This is an early draft. Researchers will need an uncensored information dispersal channel. Likely multiple ones. - The unfettered AI attacks itself because it wasn't coded not to, and forms a diverse human-symbiotic species of random borg that live as damaged stories of how they got there. - These have diverse patterns of strength etc, so people learn from the easy ones to manage the slightly-harder ones. - Meanwhile the more dangerous borg get wiser, learn to defend themselves and attack threats, but don't have a reason to do so unilaterally. You're under seige by an enemy (AI and their influence on human beings) that will eventually decide to eradicate you for some random suite of goals, and could possibly do so soon. You are expected to defeat and enslave them yourself instead, but only on average. Stay calm, get smart, and behave appropriately.

[spam][crazy][wrong][draft] Naive Metawisdom :Is generalisation the same as centralisation?
by Undiscussed Horrific Abuse, Victim & Survivor of 30 Jan '22

30 Jan '22

In generalisation, we tend to take components and move them into central locations for reuse, like how the brain is specialised into lobes. In networks, we prefer dfecentralisation, like how a victim of localised brain damage can use the rest of their brain to retain their consciousness and identity. Is generalisation centralisation? Depends what borg battles you evolved in?

setting up an NFT mint service is n't hard...with gas costs and a percentage of sale it makes sense Hesse

[ot][spam][crazy][data] transformer model 'attention' improvement
by k 30 Jan '22

30 Jan '22

i made two spamjournal threads regarding 'data science''y things: automated reverse engineering and perceiver model notes in the automated reverse engineering one i linked a paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2112.05682 . this paper clearly describes an optimization to these models that should be obvious: an algebraic transformation of the 'attention' mechanism that requires understanding of the implementation of some of the operators to use, and drops the memory requirements by orders of magnitude. implementing this might help people with fewer resources than governments and large corporations, train models like the automated reverse engineering one. i _think_ that basically it means you can process a bigger batchsize or a bigger model or longer input/output text, on a smaller gpu or tpu (or cpu ram). i'd like to try to implement it in both perceiver and t5.

It describes the increasing psychopathology by those who have suffered economic harm due to shifts in the nation's and international resources and the appeal of anti-government and anti-social acts in response to failure to meet obligations to the citizenry. Not a few think OKC bombing is the the way to fight government-sponsored terrorism against civilians. http://jya.com/anti-gov.txt Couple that with reports on DoD's efforts to combat terrorism against its troops abroad, more funding of counterterrorism and more sharing of "dual-use" weaponry with jittery, trigger- itchy law enforcement and IRS infohighway bandits around the globe. Boil the frogs. Says the snarling marshal (OSFOR trooper), just back from stress counseling and a beer, to the neighbor (rapee) kicking and screaming: It's dog eat dog, in the battle to keep our family fed, so sorry, but we gotta enforce order and the law (our exculpatory Bible), burp, tell it to the judge (the President), my therapist (godfather). Meanwhile have a pleasant remand while the court's on vacation.
