"Critical data would become inaccessible, websites would go dark, and essential state services like hospital IT systems would be thrown into chaos," says Robin Berjon, a digital governance specialist who advises EU policymakers.

Should Europe wean itself off US tech?
Just three US firms provide 70% of Europe's cloud-computing, leading to fears of overreliance.

Wow, the balls are taking all possible paths simultaneously all at once! The only possible explanation for this is that we live in a multiverse! I'm sure with a bit of engineering this Galton board could solve NP-hard problems. Which startup made it? I'm ready to bet all my savings on it!

"I heard a Xturi refer to you as a 'Noagai'," Captain Jones said. "Is that a title?"
Her navigator, a Yuun, nodded. "Have you heard the saying 'For every problem, there's a Human that can solve it'?"
"No?"
"Well, how to find that Human?"
"Er..."
"They ask a Noagai."
"A... You know a guy?"

As a PR pro, we used to tell people to get ahead of various online controversies by making statements that refute them. It turns out this is the absolute worst way to respond to criticism or correct errors of any kind. Social media has made this worse. When you respond, it kick-starts issues again.

Error correction isn’t the only place where corporate researchers have brazenly redefined terms to mimic progress (cf attempted redefinitions of quantum volume, solve, utility, quantum, advantage, majorana, etc).
Quantum computing is hard, but we won’t get there by pretending. Do the work!

The [[1,1,1]] code is the best code. Why else would it repeat three times that it is number 1?
Unlike other codes, which are only now beginning to break even, [[1,1,1]] codes have always achieved results equal to the best physical qubits.
Call now to leverage the [[1,1,1]] code for your use cases!

The trivial code is a (trivial) quantum code, so technically an unencoded qubit is also a logical qubit.

The "hide the exponential" game Scott Aaronson has complained about for decades is alive and well: arxiv.org/abs/2412.13164
Yes, Shor's algorithm with 3 registers only needs very basic operations.
No, you can't pack a 2^2000 level quantum state into 1 oscillator and then operate accurately on it.

If your application doesn't need a lot of quantum resources, you can't get better logical qubits than NVIDIA's.
Wait, does "logical qubit" now stand for GPU-accelerated classical simulation?

That's the thing: surface code improvements are so much more interesting than yet-another-RCS-benchmark. But most of the excitement communicated to the broader public is about an utterly nonsensical number and an outlandish statement about "lending credence" to parallel universes.
They're talking about random circuit sampling (RCS), not the surface code memory experiment, when they throw out that years number.
AFAIK classical sims of RCS have in fact failed to keep up with what can be done in experiment. But IMO idling a surface code real good is way cooler.
