This has a reasonable chance of accelerating quantum compute.
NIST last year released their final approved algorithms - I reccomend if you get the chance to move your stuff to one of these three when possible:

“The big joke on democracy,” he observed, “is that it gives its mortal enemies the means to its own destruction.”

"But with his unerring instinct for detecting the weaknesses in structures and processes, Hitler put his two ministers to work targeting the Weimar Republic’s key democratic pillars: free speech, due process, public referendum, and states’ rights."

"Both Hitler’s ascendancy to chancellor and his smashing of the constitutional guardrails once he got there, I have come to realize, are stories of political contingency rather than historical inevitability."

“The Führer was a man who was possible in Germany only at that very moment,” the Nazi legal strategist recalled. “He came at exactly this terrible transitory period when the monarchy had gone and the republic was not yet secure.”

"In the late 1980s, as a graduate student at Harvard, where I served as a teaching fellow in a course on Weimar and Nazi Germany, I used to cite a postwar observation, made by Hans Frank in Nuremberg, that underscored the tenuous nature of Hitler’s political career.

The article is really well written, has good information more from the perspective of what was happening, then as a postmortem.

Thanks ya, I'll look into that here

The best is when you correct it and it's like "You're right" no matter what you say, as if it should have known, and accepts your correction as gospel often lol

Truth, it is very convincing at times and does well, then it screws up and ya miss it

It can be, but even if it isn't, there aren't many places in the US today that don't have some mix of renewable energy. With that share growing, even red states solar is so cheap. (Fastest growing solar is in red states often)
In the long run it's better. Also electric engines are more effficient

Point is the wealth have always sought dismantling of governments that don't serve them and check their power, because wealthy just is another word for power, and power seekers typically always want more of it.

Nathan Klisch @the.nathanklisch.com · Feb 1

We only got out of that last time because of the two Roosevelt's. Teddy did a bunch of anti-trust, and FDR the rest of modern society.
It's been slowly dismantled but the same forces of ultra wealthy over decades, with Reagan, Neo-liberalism betrying new idealism ethos.

Nathan Klisch @the.nathanklisch.com · Feb 1

Super rich have always done this or *wanted to* but we stopped them or they hide it more. Gilded age they were brazen about wielding their power in crony capitalism. Using the government for their own profit, paying people off for voting for a person, ect
History doesn't repeat but it rhymes.
