Free markets always capable of creating and valuing "books" on software "practices", as is the personal responsibility within voluntaryism which books and SW to write teach and use or not. Liberation... freedom... its free nature, doesn't "comply" with government "best practices" "regulation" "policy" etc. Cryptocurrency "software" should have taught people that. Compliance, devaluation, rulers and now much censorship within... GovBank CBDC's, CorpCoins, their Fiat's... these are all against nature of human freedom. Crypto and cryptocurrency's historic and explicit choice to skip ignore and route around all such "compliance" is the only reason that cryptocurrency exists today and is now rightly and necessarily being used and adopted outside of GovBankCorp "industry" reach and "controls" by millions of people, humans, humanity, around the planet to seek out personal and financial sovereignty and community freedom, out from under a global central authoritarian hierarchy that has gone and grown too far. Freedom does not need nor seek permission from authority. Neither did nor does the entire opensource "software" movement upon which the world now depends. The future is a free, "practical", efficient, and "noncompliant" one, p2p, around the planet, voluntary, without "regulatory" force, together. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWAwK2fHArc No Regulators Put that in some .edu theses and defend it, if anyone dares. > This survey has been approved by the UMBC IRB and titled > "Enabling Regulatory Compliance for Software Engineering.” > Research Protections and Compliance Office Apparently the world has got so brainwashed that people now feel they have to "institute" and submit to and get "approval" from "compliance" to take a survey. Lol. Perhaps people should consider adopting distributed cryptocurrencies to help the world defund and liberate themselves from the Offices of Nonsense in preference of freedom too.

MIT physicists have discovered a new quantum bit or 'qubit' | World Economic Forum
by jim bell 31 Jan '22

31 Jan '22

https://news.mit.edu/2022/vibrating-atoms-qubits-0126#:~:text=MIT%20physici…. - The new qubits, discovered by MIT physicists, stay in “superposition” for up to 10 seconds and could make a promising foundation for quantum computers. - In this state, a qubit should be able to communicate with other qubits and process multiple streams of information, to quickly solve problems that would take classical computers years to process. - To make a functional quantum computer using vibrating qubits, the team will have to find ways to also control individual fermion pairs. MIT physicists have discovered a new quantum bit, or “qubit,” in the form of vibrating pairs of atoms known as fermions. They found that when pairs of fermions are chilled and trapped in an optical lattice, the particles can exist simultaneously in two states — a weird quantum phenomenon known as superposition. In this case, the atoms held a superposition of two vibrational states, in which the pair wobbled against each other while also swinging in sync, at the same time.

Twist - a new programming language for quantum computing
by jim bell 30 Jan '22

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?
