The potential of quantum computing is immense, but the distances over which entangled particles can reliably carry information remains a massive hurdle. When "it worked" is worthy of news, you might have a problem

Quote: Major first: Quantum information produced, stored, and retrieved
Quote: The distances over which this particular system could transmit quantum memories haven't been tested – it's just a proof-of-concept prototype in a basement lab, one based on photons that aren't even entangled.
Say what????

Over 90 percent of respondents to a new survey say that low-code tools have boosted developer productivity in their organizations. 43.5 percent of developers are saving up to 50 percent of their time when they use low-code tools on a project. When creating applications, or when you rewrite them later in a non-low-code language?

Microsoft's Copilot is responsible for an increasingly significant percentage of software being written — and is even being used to program corporations’ critical systems. But there are limitations. But if AI is your copilot, who will you eat when you crash in the mountains?

A former Amazon engineer who scammed more than $12 million from two decentralized cryptocurrency exchanges in 2022 was sentenced to three years in prison in a case that the U.S. Justice Department (DOJ) called the first conviction for hacking a “smart contract.” He's smarter than the average smart contract (but not smart enough, apparently)

Craptobros are dead set against any kind of regulation and authority in their spaces so they can scam each other with impunity. I think this man shouldn't have been jailed since he used the system exactly as designed.
Any peon who willingly drops money into a Ponzi scheme (and all craptocoins are Ponzi schemes) deserves to have those money ripped away.

Very interesting indeed! Thanks for the read!
Quote: “The main issue for me in the industry has to do with hyperscalers coming in and saying we need to reduce costs every year,” said Wilkie, the chair of the ACMA, using the industry term for tech giants like Google and Meta. “We’d all like to have maintenance cheaper, but the cost of running a ship doesn’t actually change much from year to year. It goes up, actually. So there has been a severe lack of investment in new ships.”
They should use the term 'hyperidiots' instead of 'hyperscalers.'

When building apps that connect to APIs, we typically focus on getting the app to work. But what happens when the API is slow, returns errors, or becomes unavailable? When in doubt, add another layer of indirection

As any Visual Studio Code user knows, the editor's command palette is a powerful tool for getting things done quickly, without having to navigate through menus and dialogs. Who needs THOSE MENUs anyway?
OK, they haven't had THOSE MENUs for years (and they were only around for a short while anyway). But their memory lives on.
|
|
|
|
|
Technically, they still have THOSE MENUS; it's just that the "Apply title case styling to menu bar" option seems to be ticked by default now.
